Redwood Pack #2

Trinity Bound

Rate this book
She thought her life was over, then the goddess gave her a second chance—and two mates.

Hannah and Reed are bound together not by fate, but by chains and circumstance. Imprisoned by their rival Pack and demon enemy, they don’t know how to escape.

Hannah’s earth magic is weakened by loss and Reed’s connection to his Pack frays with each passing day.

Their only hope is in the unlikeliest of a human with the ability to track like no other.

Josh has the instinctive need to find these two strangers though he doesn’t know why.

And once he finds them, his world shifts on his axis.

He’s not only thrust into a war he didn’t know existed…but he’s found not one, but two of his mates.

And fate doesn’t ask twice

Curl up in your favorite chair with an ice-cold beverage because you are going to need it to cool off after reading this book! The third installment of the Redwood Pack Series does not disappoint, as a romance or an adventure.
If you already read Ryan’s Taste of a Mate, you know that Reed has been abducted by a rival werewolf pack. In Trinity Bound (Book #3), we get to really know him and his TWO intended mates. Yep, that’s right. He’s lucky enough to get two. I’ve read some good ménages and some bad ones; Trinity Bound is fantastic! Ryan does such an excellent job of emotionally connecting to each partner in the relationship. It’s hard enough to write an emotionally satisfying story with two main characters, but the author succeeds beautifully with all three of hers.
Hannah is so sweet and kind, but with a badass attitude when she needs it. Nothing is going to get between this witch and the men she loves. I also like the fact that a ménage is something she had never considered before, it makes her character so much more real to me that she is mentally processing this relationship as the plot moves along.
Reed is artistic, thoughtful, a good listener, but I have to laugh at the times when he behaves like a clueless normal human being. It brings his character to life. Ryan has such a natural way of showing strengths and weaknesses in characters that as a reader you can’t help but feel that you really get to know them as people. It’s the memory of the characters that really seal the deal on a successful story.
Josh is the rough and tough SEAL that hides his emotions and won’t let anyone see the softer side. This story is so perfect for him, because that poor man needs two people to love him and make him feel like part of a family. His transformation throughout the book is excellent, especially his temptation by the demon.
Which brings me to the dark twist the author has taken in this story. It was by far the right choice and by including witches and demons into her werewolf pack’s lives, it has only added spark, depth, and a lot of intensity to the stories. I can’t wait to see where Carrie Ann Ryan takes it next!

Reed, Hannah and Josh

It was a good read, it just that there was something missing. I was not able to connect to the characters like I hope to. The story's plot was interesting enough and kept me reading..

I love the family bond.. I love that they have new characters that will help them defeat the Central pack..

As the story continues to unfold I hope that w/ Adam's story I'll be able to connect w/ the series again 🤗

This is my third time reading any of Carrie Ann Ryan's works and she has kept the series strong and satisfying. I love all of her characters, their uniqueness and their personalities. This book being the third in the Redwood Pack series is just as good, if not better than the first two.

Reed is a son of the Alpha of Redwood Pack and an artist. He was captured by those beyond pesky Centrals while trying to protect his brothers mate Willow. During his imprisonment he meets his mate, an earth witch named Hannah and will do anything to protect her.

Hannah lost her mother due to the Centrals. She is now alone and imprisoned on enemy turf. She gets a spark of hope once a new prisoner is brought in the cell she's been occupying. She gets a sense of peace, comfort and home from him. Can they escape this prison together? Will they survive this ordeal? Just after they are able to get close enough to touch one another and Hannah heals Reed. A savior walks through the door and they she becomes a bit overwhelmed by the feelings he is bringing forth that match what she is feeling towards Reed as well.

Josh is an ex Seal. He knows his stuff in both human and paranormal situations and can really kick ass! He is also a loner and is very content with the way he stands (or so he thinks). After over hearing a conversation, he has a vision of a male and female trapped in a prison of sorts. He is not sure why, but he must save them both, no matter what he has to face.

All three are unsure of everything! How can three beings possibly be attracted with such intense desire and make it work? They are each so different. They go through hell and back to keep their trio together. And what an amazing trio they are!

The continuation of the Redwood Pack series packs a great punch...right from the beginning you are taken into a dark world, wondering what's going to happen next. Will Reed make it out alive with his newfound mate Hannah? Into the picture comes Josh, who has heard about the paranormal beings, so finding out Reed is a werewolf and Hannah is a witch is not surprising to him, but his feelings towards them are. What follows next is an adventure into evil dark forces, but also such intensity of desire between the characters to make your heart melt.

Once I started reading, I could not put it down, I had to find out what was going to happen next. The story contains lots of steamy scenes and lots of adventure too. Each story just continues to grow and you just get sunk deeper and deeper in to the lives of the Redwood Pack.

I've always loved paranormal books, but Carrie Anns are always so different they make paranormal much more like a normal story. She makes it so much less different. I also love that she has a triad in all of her series, and this one did not disappoint! Josh, Reed and Hannah are all so special and so is their story

This is book 3 in the Redwood Pack series. This book picks up right where book 2 (A Taste for a Mate) ends off. Where is that, you ask? Well…not to give too much away, but it starts off in a creepy dungeon-like cell with Reed Jamenson and an unknown girl, who to make things worse, is his mate. But something isn't quite right—not only are they trapped and being tortured by the Centrals (a crazy rival pack)—but his Mate scene if off a bit, well that is until some strange human male breaks into the cells and saves both him and Hannah from the Centrals evil grasp.

Reed is the fourth child in the Jamenson line; he has no purpose in his family lineage. He's an artist, he draws-how can that contribute to his family or his pack? Well Reed finds out just what he can contribute to his family and pack when he forms his Trinity Bond with his two mates—Hannah, a witch…and…Josh, an ex- Navy Seal.

All these characters have issues that they must over come and deal with before they can truly form their Trinity Bond. Are they worthy? Can they be trusted? Are they dangerous? Can they really live as a Triad? All their struggles and insecurities make this all the better. You will be flipping pages fast during their adventures and battles and slowing down to make sure you don't miss any of the loving (SUPER HOT).

The three of them are fabulous together. Carrie Ann Ryan has a way about her writing that always makes me laugh. She creates easy following dialog with humor that everyone will get and laugh at.

I can't wait for the fourth book—Enforcer's Redemption—Adam’s story. I can tell you already just from what little we have been shown about Adam that this book will be a tear-jerker. So get caught up now…this is not a series you want to miss.

Trinity Bound

Hannah is being kept against her will by some really bad werewolves. Reed, one of the Redwood pack members and a brother to the redwood pack Alpha is a cell mate. They are drawn to each other. Reed knows his family will come but also knows Hannah, a witch is his mate who he has to protect. Josh arrives in town and knows there is more to the world than what everyone else thinks. As ex-military he has all ways had a knack for finding people. He is drawn to a area and stumbles upon Reed and Hannah. He knows he must get them out. The 3 have an immediate connection and attraction. Could this be a start to something truly magically? Can their relationship even work? How will a trinity bond affect the pack and can it possible save it from the enemy trying to destroy the Redwood pack?

Carrie hooked me again! Couldn't put it down. I so love this pack and love the family dynamics. You love the characters in the story but also the family as well. looking for to the next one!

Just finished Trinity Bound by Carrie Anne Ryan and let me just say... It is the best one of the three books. I loved it immensely and truly recommend you read it. I was a hot mess for most of the time reading it and the chemistry between Hannah, Reed, and Josh is amazing. It is hard to tell you what is happening without giving it away so let's give it a shot: A fight with the two enemy packs, Redwoods and Centrals, bring us too many lives lost and emotional heartache. One of the Jamenson's brothers, Reed, is kidnapped during the raid on the Redwood packs den by the Centrals. Taken captive he meets an earth witch Hannah who has also been taken captive and held in a dungeon away from the earth soil. As Corbin (son of the alpha) tries to make Hannah realize the power that she has through tortured you can't help but wonder how she survives! She also possesses a rare ability to heal others but not herself....hmmmmm exciting stuff!

This has to be my favourite in series. Reed is the artist in the pack and hannah is the human witch, Josh is the ex seal.
I like that in their relationship reed and josh love each other just as much as hannah and reed.
I loved Reed. He puts himself down but he's just as important as the alpha in the pack.
Hannah is very insecure and new to her powers but loves Josh and reed completely.
Josh is a human ex seal that has a weird compulsion to find people and even though Josh is shocked to be attracted to both reed and hannah Josh it in his stride.
This is my favourite book. The struggle and action is awesome and beautiful love story.

This series just keeps getting better and better. The third installment features the artistic brother Reed meeting his mates Hannah and Josh. The sex scenes are hot, hot, hot and the author did an excellent job of capturing a m/m/f relationship.

I also love how Carrie Ann Ryan keeps expanding the Redwood Pack universe. I don't want to give too much plot away but I will say I love how Josh evolved, very interesting and can't wait to see how that plays out with their never-ending battle with the villains.

I also love Carrie's subtle hints on the future love interests of the single brothers. Can't wait for Jasper's story!!!

2.5⭐️’s rounded up.

Maybe it’s just a “me” thing…. But dare I say this felt like a PG-13 mmf bisexual ménage…? Let me explain…

*** warning…. I’m gonna use cursey words, so don’t be offended if you read further***

The author would go from details of licking the v and subsequent multitudes of sexual positions, then 2 mins later describing the h’s daydream of her previous evenings evens and getting horny for their peens again, but the author made the choice to have the h’s inner monologue censor herself by calling their dicks “ahem, anatomy” or something equally cringey… i imagined in that moment that you’d see a 1950’s housewife buttoning back up the top button of her shirt… you know… the one that makes it kinda uncomfortable to breathe because it’s too close to your trachea.

Okay… yea….. that description is as super over dramatic and awkward as it seems… but to prove my point… not as as awkward as censoring their pleasurable moment with overly dramatic and oddly placed “darn”. They go to town on each other for hours and as they cum with a “darn”?!… uhhh… wut? Use ANY other word that doesn’t substitute for a curse word and I wouldn’t be so hung up on it.

Ok… sorry for the rant….

Beyond that, everything moved too fast for me to have some kind of connection I need to give better ratings. It was a good idea/plot but need a significantly longer plot/world building for me to get emotionally invested into it. Describing the scents of the pack mates 50x doesn’t make me remember characters.

The concept is great and I feel like with a better understanding of world building without being redundant with over describing certain senses (ie: red eyes, black eyes, the smell of character a, the taste of appendage on character b, etc) [it gets on my nerves and I know I’m not the only one], there’s a good base to improve upon.

Get a cup of ice to cool you down this book is hot. Kade and Jasper's younger brother Reed finds his mates. After they got Willow back they knew the Centrals would eventually try something again, but to get through the wards protecting the den to attack was unexpected. Jasper knew Reed was with Willow so he is helping the kids and other pack members to safety. Reed tells Willow to run when Caym attacks and all she can hear is Reed screaming. When they go to look for a body there isn't one they have taken him. They pack is looking for him but can't seem to find where they have taken him.

Reed wakes in a cage with a woman he thinks they have been calling Hannah. Everytime they come in Reed tries to protect her, he learns she is a witch. Reed becomes very protective of her in the days they are together. Corbin beats her and brings her back in and this time they chain her close enough to Reed that he can touch her. She is knocked out so he tries to clean some of her wounds. When she comes to she tells Reed she is a healer and wants to touch him to heal his wounds. When she touches Reed they both gasp at the touch and how it makes them. Reed thinks she is his mate but feels like something is missing.

In town Josh over hears some young guys talking about the Alpha's son being taken by the Centrals and that they can't seem to find him. Josh is a Finder but usually can only find people he knows but for some reason he is thinking of Reed and sees where he is and that he is with a woman. Josh is drawn to find them even though he knows nothing about them and he isn't just attracted to Hannah, he isn't gay but for some reason he can't stop thinking about Reed. Josh is a Navy Seal and knows how to plan and carry out rescue missions. He finds them fairly quick and seems to have no problem getting into where Reed and Hannah are. He tries to explain fast who he is not really caring how or why Reed trust him and they escape or so they thought. They get to the woods and the Centrals are waiting and attack. Caym bites Josh really bad on his arm and then just disappears. They finally get away and hold up in a cabin for a day or so. Once they get a fire going she tries to heal Josh's arm but it want heal all the way and she doesn't really know anything about demon bites. They are all having dreams about each other and the sexual tension between the 3 is so strong and Reed decides he must tell them. Josh was pretty sure Hannah was his mate so when Reed tells her Josh isn't surpised. But Hannah wants to know if she is his mate why is she so attracted to Josh, too and Reed drops the bomb that he is his mate also. Josh immediately says he isn't gay even though he feels attracted to him which is a first but he defiantly wants Hannah. Reed says he is confused to and when they get to the pack they will know more about what is going on. Reed and Josh decide they want Hannah and its all about her pleasure, but then Reed tells Josh he is going to kiss him and things get interesting.

They are under attack at the cabin and Adam appears in wolf form to help. Once they get to Adam's jeep Josh blurts out they are his mates and Adam gets really upset. He seems to be having a hard time with all his brothers mates appearing since he lost his. Once at the den Reed tells his parents that Hannah is a healer and his mate. They are all excited and then he tells them Josh is his mate, too. Pat, his mom, says the trinity bond how unexpected. Reed has never heard of this and ask what she mean. Its a bond between 3 mates and is very strong and with Hannah being a healer will make it even stronger.

Once they all get to know each other things heat up quick, but Josh is having trouble dealing with the demon bite. The pack has given Hannah a place as their healer and Josh is working for the gaurd and doing great. Reed feels like he isn't enough and not worthy of his mates. They Alpha lets him know that isn't true and he should never feel this way that keeping the archives of the pack is very important. Josh is getting worse and goes off on Hannah and Reed and then just disappears. They realize the bite has something to do with what has happened and decided they will go after him into Central territory. The Redwood Alpha tells them thier bond needs to be completed by marking Hannah and Josh. With doing this their bond will be strong enough to fight Caym. Josh doesn't really remember anything he feels like something is missing but doesn't know what. Ellie, Corbin's sister, has been trying to keep him safe until his mates come. He tries to fight the power Caym has over him but its hard. Once Reed and Hannah get to him he tries to attack Reed. They fight but Reed manages to mark him, Josh passes out and he marks Hannah quickly. Josh comes to and remembers it all and the bond is stronger that ever. Josh is determined to help Ellie. Reed kills Hector the Central's Alpha and they have to fight their way out again. Ellie and Hannah seem to be holding their own. Corbin gets hurt and they manage to bind Caym to this realm and he can't call on any more demons to help them. Once they get back to the jeep Jasper and North are waiting for them. After a few hours drive they finally make it back to the den. They are a little surpised by Ellie but welcome her into the pack. Maddox seems to be acting a little strange around her but not sure why. They pack starts to rebuild the den and Willow and Jasper have their baby. Things are finally getting back to normal. Adam comes back and he looks worse than when he left.

I love this series I would love to see Maddox find a mate though... Just saying

Series: Redwood Pack Book 3
Author: Carrie Ann Ryan
Publisher: Fated Desires Publishing LLC
Published: 3-27-2012

E-Book ASIN B007PH8GU2
Genre: Romance, Paranormal, Shapeshifters


Reed Jamenson, the gentile artist of the Redwood Pack is captured by the demon Caym helping the Central Pack when he was defending his sister-in-law Willow in book 2 A Taste For A Mate. Taken and thrown into the Central Pack dungeon where he and a witch by the name of Hannah are tortured. Reed has found his mate in Hannah but despairs they will ever escape. Corbin, the only son of the the rival pack's Alpha takes a special delight in torturing Hannah and Reed. Tired of waiting for the witch to tell him what he wants to know Hector, the Alpha shoots Reed repeatedly. Causing Hannah to reveal the her secret to her captors, she is a natural healer.


Josh Kolb, an ex-seal, is sitting in the park on a bench when he overhears a conversation about a kidnapped werewolf and a missing witch. Being a finder he is use to finding missing people he knows even when no one else can, but he has never met this Reed or the witch the two young men spoke of. So why is he so sure he can see them in his mind and knows where to find them. Should he go to the Redwood Pack and tell them what he knows? Would they believe him? Not likely and considering he is a human and they have spent centuries hiding their existence from humans they could just kill him to keep their secret. Josh decides to go after the two strangers himself. He doesn't know why, but they are very important to him.


Reed and Hannah are expecting Hector, Corbin or Caym to come begin torturing one of them again or even kill one or both of them when the dungeon door creaks open and the handsome human enters their cell. Josh hurriedly unlocks their chains and helps them to freedom all the while thinking it was way too easy. He was right. Suddenly the three are surrounded by the Central Pack and must fight their way to safety. Three against an entire pack, not very good odds, but at least they will go down fighting. Suddenly Hannah is captured by the demon Caym. Josh tries to get her away when Caym grabs him and bites his arm. As quickly as they came the demon and Central wolves are gone.


They find shelter in an empty cabin and are able to check their wounds, rest, eat and talk as they wait out the blizzard. Ryan is surprised to find not only is Hannah his mate, but so is Josh. Hannah is appalled to find she is attracted to both Josh and Reed. Josh is confused to realize that even as he is understandably drawn to the beautiful Hannah he is also sexually drawn to Reed. Josh has never had in inclination to look at another man sexually cannot help his reactions to the handsome Reed. Preparing to leave they are once again attacked by the Central wolves when help comes in the form of Reed's brother Adam.


How are they to get away and return to Redwood land and the safety of Reed and Adam's pack? Is Reed expected to choose between Josh and Hannah? Why does his heart hurts at the thought of walking away from either one of them? Can Hannah accept a menage relationship? can Josh? can the pack if they survive? This is the third book in the Redwood Pack series and the suspense and intrigue just keeps getting better. Lord help the fool who dares to interrupt you when you are reading Carrie Ann Ryan's books before you reach the end. Although this book is supposedly a stand alone I would recommend reading books one and two first. Every prior book reference is briefly explained, but if you are like me you will prefer to have the full history of the story line and how it evolves by reading the book series from the beginning. As you read you will understand why this series has become a favorite of so many. Trinity Bound is also offered with the next book in the series A Night Away as a single volume.

NOTE: I received an eARC copy of Trinity Bound from the author.

**Trinity Bound is book 3 in the Redwood Pack series so be aware that this review may contain a spoiler or two if you haven't read book 2 yet.**

At the end of book two, Reed Jamenson is captured by the Central Pack, an enemy Pack to the Redwoods, and held prisoner. Their intended target, however, was Jasper, Reed's older brother and the Beta of the Pack. Reed finds himself chained to a wall next to a woman he's never met before but whom he is aware is his intended mate. Both Reed and Hannah feel a strong connection to one another but their main concern is figuring out how to escape. The problem is, the chains holding them are magically enhanced, thus making it impossible for either one of them to break free. That is until ex-Navy SEAL, Josh Kolb, a human with a special gift of his own, is able to locate them and help them escape. What Reed never would have expected, however, upon meeting Josh, is that Josh is also his mate.

I was thrilled to receive Trinity Bound from Carrie Ann. I was looking forward to reading more about the Jamenson family. Reed is the artist in the Pack, but he feels that he has no real purpose. The journey that Reed takes with his new-found mates does, to some degree, make him feel worthy to be apart of the Jamenson family and the Redwood Pack. Josh, he too has his insecurities but that's because of a life lived alone. His secret gift makes him choose a solitary life due to a painful past. So finding Reed and Hannah, despite his feelings towards them, he still isn't sure that a life with them can work. And Hannah, her world fell apart when she was taken by the Centrals.

I have to say that I found the banter between the characters in this book to be rather funny at times. And there were suspenseful parts that kept me on the edge of my seat, so to speak. I also enjoyed the romance between Reed, Hannah and Josh as well. What I really enjoyed was what Hannah was capable of doing with her power as an Earth Witch. That certainly made for some interesting confrontations.

Now one thing that sort of had me curious, and perhaps confused, was once Reed and Hannah were rescued from the Centrals, there is quite a long space of time (or so it felt that way) where it seemed as if nothing was being done. I mean, you'd think that Reed, at the very least, would want to retaliate against the Centrals for what they put him and Hannah (as well as Josh) through. But this time was used, instead, for the three of them to get to know each other. I'm not objecting to that at all, but I think maybe it was just drawn out a bit longer than necessary. I also found myself momentarily confused, at one point, because the story changes perspectives between the three main characters and it wasn't always obvious, right away, who's perspective I was reading.

Since the copy of Trinity Bound that I read is an advanced copy, I don't want to make too many judgements regarding errors that I came across, because those may be ironed out before the book is actually released later this month. But yes, there were some issues with spelling, punctuation and such. Even so, I still enjoyed the story!

Summary
Trinity Bound by Carrie Ann Ryan is the third book in the Redwood Pack series and shows further improvement in the author's writing skills. Use of certain words at the wrong point will still yank readers out of the story such as when the word 'mummers' is used where clearly 'murmurs' was meant. The sensitive, artist werewolf, his powerful, witch mate, and their human, ex-SEAL third are enjoyable characters with whom you can enjoy multiple thrilling escapes from unspeakable evil. The price is still a little high, but readers are likely to be enthralled enough to continue on to the next story.

Fantasy World
Trinity Bound has the thrill of even more magic and the unknown constraints of a three way mating bond. Much of the book is spent in prison or the bedroom so no delicate negotiating of complex social structures in the den are necessary.

Tingle Factor
Carrie Ann Ryan creates hot menage scenes and dexterously navigates the road of a straight ex-SEAL discovering his new attraction to a male werewolf. Moderate tingling may result.

Romance
All of the characters brood over acceptance of their non-traditional relationship even when there are no adverse reactions. Mostly the depth of their intimacy is driven by outside conflict related factors.

Drama
Most of the drama is between the three lovers as they try to figure out the framework of their affair. Lots of tension is added by an enemy pack of werewolves who, with demon assistance, are determined to break the lovers apart. The only piece which seems to be missing is overcoming prejudices against threesomes and/or homosexual relationships. Everyone, even the enemy wolves, are all about the man love. It takes away slightly from the drama.

Heroine
Hannah is a witch whose livelihood and family have been stolen from her by a werewolf attack. She's stuck in prison where she meets one hot man then is rescued by another. Hannah is a bit too good to be believable. For instance at first she can't even bring herself to think of what having sex with two men would be like. At least she doesn't whine and fights with everything she's got in the battles.

Heroes
Reed is the sensitive middle child who feels overlooked by amongst his powerful siblings. His painting is wonderful, but he feels it is not a highly regarded skill in a culture more focused on strength than creativity. Josh is a very skilled human who doesn't measure up as well in the supernatural world and is confused by new sexual feelings for another man. Both characters are well rounded and the story covers the development of their relationship to one another as well as to Hannah.

They Just keep getting better and better!!!!

THIS IS MY FAVORITE IN THIS SERIES SO FAR!!!!! To put it as PG as I can, I needed my door closed a few cold showers after this one.

This book picks up right where book 2 leaves off, leaving Reed in a dark place with a light of hope locked away with him. I don't do spoiler reviews at all so I'm gonna try to keep this as close to unrevealing as possible.

We have 2 main alpha's in this one and a very strong woman in the middle, Josh is our other non wolf alpha and he is just as sexy as Reed. They both leave you wanting to jump in the middle and take Hannah's place.

Hannah, I love Hannah she is so strong and brings a balance to this trinity that is written so well.

Now I have to say that I saw the m/m coming and wasn't sure how I would feel about it, this being my first taste of it and I was pleasantly surprised that I was not at all grossed out or turned off by it at all. I think it has a lot to do with how Carrie Ann lead up to it and wrote it all. If you have read any of her work before this especially in this series you know that the Wolf Mating bond goes beyond gender and societies rules placed in our minds regarding love and sex. And to read this story and see the tug and pull between Josh and Reed and than have them constantly fighting not only their own bond but the evil constantly trying to rip them all apart you find yourself cheering their love on page by page.

I was engrossed from page one and I'm so excited to read the rest of the brothers stories in the upcoming books from Carrie and the Redwood Pack. Again another thing I loved about this series is we get to follow previous couples through out each book and still see how the story grows and develops.

I'm absorbingly entranced by the Redwood pack and give this novel 5 stars and I'm forever a fangirl of Carrie Ann's because of this series.

Trinity Bound is the story of Reed Jamenson, third son of the Alpha of the Redwood Pack. Reed is the Pack's artist, but has always felt that he is not useful, not important to the Pack. Having been captured by the rival Central Pack, he is now locked in a cell with a woman, and is being tortured. He doesn't know why he has been captured, nor why he is being tortured. He only hopes that his Pack will find him soon and that he can save the woman he feels is his mate.

Hannah Lewis is a witch, but a special one, an earth witch. The Centrals have captured her and murdered her mother. She is being held in a cell and tortured, along with a man she doesn't know. She also doesn't know why these wolves want her and are beating her and the man. Lost and alone without her mother, Hannah doesn't know what her future now holds. All she knows is that she wants to help the man she is being held with and that she feels drawn to him.

Josh Kolb is a human with extraordinary abilities. A former Navy SEAL, he has nobody and no place of his own in the world. He is alone, and thinks he likes it that way. Can he find the two strangers he is suddenly drawn to? Why is he drawn to them? Where will this lead him, and can he handle the world of the supernatural that he falls into?

As the story progresses, demons, evil, war and, of course, love abound. How will all of this work out? Will Reed, Hannah and Josh find love despite the numerous events that try to stop them?

Though not normally a fan of menage, I was truly drawn to Reed's story. It is enthralling, and a wonderful story of love conquers all. I highly recommend it! Carrie Ann writes a lovely, and makes it a joy to read.

5 of 5 stars!

The third installment of the Redwood Pack series and it just keeps getting better. Once again, Carrie Ann Ryan does answer some questions. Others, however, she hits you with at the very end with a cliffhanger that will leave you wondering, "How? What? Why?!"

Reed, the artistic younger brother of the Jameson family, finally feels the mating heat, to a witch. And then to a human. Of course, his brother and Heir had found two possible mates but only one turned out to be his true mate. Could that be what this is? Two possibilities? It's something Reed has to figure out a midst a torrent of evil and chaos stemming, still, from the rival pack determined to destroy Redwood Pack.

The characters are very believable, with their own sets of anxiety, apprehension, fears, and insecurities. I could relate to the losses and sorrow just as much as I could the joy and celebrations. Interspersed in the heaviness of evil fighting and new relationships, we have levity and moments of triumph.

Trinity Bound does, for sure, keep you turning the pages and brings you so certainly into the middle of the plot that your heart races right to the end. Each book in this series has shown great growth and evolution in Carrie Ann Ryan's writing. I have no doubt the next installment in this series is going to drive us even further into the hearts and family web of the Jamesons and Redwood Pack's war against evil.

Hannah Lewis, is a Healer, and Reed Jamenson, is an artist and a werewolf, meet in the unlikeliest of places. They know they’re mates but they are imprisoned and don’t know if they’ll ever be able to claim one another. Enter Josh Kolb, a human who is ex-military who finds them and rescues them from their imprisonment. They both find Josh attractive and Josh finds himself attracted to them as well despite never finding a man attractive before.

A lot more action happens in this story with the issues with the Central Pack revving up. For that reason I highly recommend reading this story in order, since the action and suspense build on each other.

Hannah, Reed and Josh were made for each other and it shows in their interactions. They are close to one of my favorite couples in this series. I highly recommend this book and definitely want to shout about this series to my friends.

I purchased my own copy. I was not compensated for my review.

Now I have been waiting, what seems like a long time, for this book and by gum it was worth the wait! It is just full on drama, action, passion....God there is so many twists and turns in this novel that'll just blow your mind!

I can't say too much about it because it official comes out on 30 March 2012 but I got an eARC off Carrie Ann, so I felt well special :)

All I can say this book is worth the read, it will just leave you with so many questions and you'll suffer withdrawal synonyms because you'll just need to know what happens to Adam....and what is going on with Maddox and Ellie? Trust me I have a lot of questions I need answered but sadly I must wait until Carrie Ann is finished writing Adam's story :( Gutting, I know but we just need to let the Mistress work LOL

Hannah Lewis is a rare earth witch and she is a healer.
Reed Jamenson is the artist for the Redwood pack.
Josh Kolb is an ex-military human with the ability to find people.
Hannah and Reed are being held captive by the sadistic werewolf pack called the Centrals, they calm each other and try to help the other. And figuring out a way for escape.
Josh's ability of finding people helps him find Hannah and Reed with only their names.
All three are mates and will form the trinity bond, that helps strengthen the pack.

This was a great book to read. Not only was it hot but it had real emotion between not two people but three. They learned together and grew together and formed a stronger bond. I love this series.

Steaming Hot, Sexy, Dangerous and Action Packed Romantic Adventure with a firm family foundation. Such and entertaining and exciting journey to finding forever and saving not only the family they love but the world in general.

Reed Jamenson has always been the odd brother out in the Redwood Pack, the artist with no official roll in the protection of the pack. Fun loving, sweet with such a huge heart, I adored him in previous books and was so happy to get to know him better in this story. Hannah Lewis, a witch with healing powers is so sweet and she kicks ass when needed. Josh Kolb, is an ex Navy SEAL with a unique gift of his own that leads him to this journey that changes his entire life. Loved every twist and turn. Looking forward to more Redwood Pack adventures.

First paragraph: The sweet coppery scent of freshly spilled blood tingled Corbin’s nose as he inhaled deeply. His sister, Ellie, struggled against the restraints digging into her arms and legs, but she didn’t make a sound.

The third book of the Redwood Pack series goes all out with rarities in its paranormal mix - a rare earth witch with healing powers, a werewolf who's in touch with his artistic side, and a unique human ex-Seal who's also a psychic Finder and later turns into a demon through bit infection. And these rarities all fall in lust/love and form the powerful Trinity Bond.

I'm feeling a little jaded here. Maybe I need to lay off the PNR for a little bit. :)
