Review: Fighting Fate (Redwood Pack #7) by Carrie Ann Ryan

[Eva Millien]

Blurb:

With her blue-black hair and striking green eyes, Cailin Jamenson is the epitome of beauty and the exemplar of strength. She has fought the enforced boundaries of being the lone Jamenson daughter and Redwood Pack princess, but it is the potential future with the dark wolf in her path that threatens everything she thought she desired.
Logan Anderson’s own darkness provided the reasoning for his abandonment of his former Pack, the Talons. Now, newly accepted into the Redwood Pack, this jade-eyed wolf and all she represents could be his own undoing.
In this final installment of the Redwood Pack, unimaginable tragedy strikes, and the two wolves who have fought the longest for their independence now face the uncertainty of fate and the epic battle that could end the war… and their lives.

My Review:

Thrilling action and heart capturing emotions abound throughout this mesmerizing Redwood Pack story. Unimaginable tragedy strikes the pack and the two wolves who have fought the longest now face the uncertainty of fate. As the Pack princess, Cailin Jamenson has fought the enforced boundaries of being the only daughter. But now it is the future potential with Logan Anderson and his darkness that threatens everything she thought she desired.

This fast paced and smooth flowing plot keeps readers on their toes with suspense, drama, action and romance.  The author brings the story to life with well written scenes and details that capture the imagination and the well orchestrated suspense and action draws the reader deeper into the story. The characters are strong, compelling, easily understood and grab the reader’s attention from the very beginning. 

The possible mating between Logan and Cailin has been radiating heat from every page since the two first met, but the relationship has taken awhile to get going because of some emotional issues on both sides and the reader can’t help but get caught up in their story as they try to work through them, of course the sex scenes are red hot and scorch the reader, no problem there. 

The battle between the Redwood Pack and the Centrals have waged for a few years and the readers have followed faithfully through all the tragedy and triumphs, tears and smiles, but the ultimate tragedy brings heartache and tears to the reader’s eyes.  But don’t despair because this story is also about hope and HEAs and the author doesn’t disappoint.

This story is an exciting conclusion to the Redwood Pack saga, despite the sadness that I feel for the tragedy in the story.  I am also upset that series is ending, but I feel that it is the right time and I am hoping that we will still hear from them from time to time, like in the upcoming novella Loving the Omega and possible in the upcoming Talon Pack, which I am looking forward to reading.

About Carrie Ann Ryan

USA Today Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan never thought she’d be a writer. Not really. No, she loved math and science and even went on to graduate school in chemistry. Yes, she read as a kid and devoured teen fiction and Harry Potter, but it wasn’t until someone handed her a romance book in her late teens that she realized that there was something out there just for her. When another author suggested she use the voices in her head for good and not evil, The Redwood Pack and all her other stories were born.

Carrie Ann is a bestselling author of over twenty novels and novellas and has so much more on her mind (and on her spreadsheets *grins*) that she isn’t planning on giving up her dream anytime soon.
