What will it take for this weary warrior to redeem his lonely soul?
Bear shifter Soren Voss lives and breathes for the new clan he leads as alpha. It’s all he has left after the rogue ambush that murdered the woman he loved — the woman he swears he’ll always love, even if it’s only in his dreams. But the day his dream comes true is also the start of a nightmare, because his destined mate may no longer be his and his alone. Is it fate’s way of torturing him or his last chance at redemption?

Sarah Boone narrowly escaped the inferno that claimed her family and her home. For months now, she’s been on the run with a secret that will soon be impossible to hide. But the clock is ticking, and she needs a place to settle down soon. She never expected to find the love of her life running a funky little place called the Blue Moon Saloon. He’s darker and more dangerous than ever, but somehow more vulnerable, too. Does she have it in her to be the woman her world-weary warrior needs most of all?

Behind the doors of the Blue Moon Saloon, alpha shifters confront their darkest fears and their deepest desires. Each book is a complete standalone story — no cliffhangers!

* A paranormal romance with adult content. The perfect read for fans of strong heroines, alpha heroes, werewolves and shapeshifters, red-hot cowboys, romantic westerns, paranormal suspense, action-adventure romance, and fantasy romance! *

Anna Lowe

123 books501 followers
USA Today and Amazon best-selling author Anna Lowe loves putting the "hero" back into heroine and letting location ignite a passionate romance. She likes a heroine who is independent, intelligent, and imperfect — a woman who's doing just fine on her own. But give the heroine a good man (not to mention a chance to overcome her own inhibitions) and she'll never turn down the chance for adventure, nor shy away from danger.

On any given weekend, you might find her hiking in the mountains or hunched over her laptop, working on her latest story. Either way, the day will end with a chunk of dark chocolate and a good read.

Redemption picks up where Temptation: Reckless Desires left off. Soren and Sarah have a past that’s emotional. Each of them are keeping secrets, but soon their lives will be tipped upside-down.

This series continues to intrigue and entertain. It was wonderful to finally find out about Soren and Sarah’s love story.

Sarah is trying to find a safe place. Soren is trying to move own, be a good clan leader, and look to a future without a mate. Both never expected to run into the one person they have loved.

This was an emotional journey full of suspense, action, and second chance at love. The author kept me in anticipation for Sarah’s secret. I thought it was one thing when it turned out to be something all together different. She is one tough and amazing human. Soren does some healing of his own and once the secrets are out, things get better. I enjoyed watching these two come together again and find true love and happiness.

Redemption is full of life altering moments, whirlwind of emotions, suspense, and second chances. I highly recommend the Blue Moon Saloon as well as the authors The Wolves of Twin Moon Ranch series.

Rated: 5 Redemption Stars

Soren has featured through all the other couples stories, so his book has been building slowly. In the end of book 2 Soren got a surprise the love of his life was alive and well, very well indeed, she was pregnant - his bear did a happy dance, but the man stormed off.

Sarah was presumed dead, even though I expected her to appear at some point. She is a really nice calm characther, she is scared, she's being chased by a group who want to hurt her but doesn't really know why. She's arrived at Blue Moon saloon and its the safest place for her to be.

Soren struggles to be near her to begin with, but with Jess and Janna mooning over her its an impossible task keeping away, she's in the cafe, in the bar, in the apartment and now in his office!

Sarah isn't pushing herself onto Soren, she wants to press her body to his but just doesn't quite know how he feels.

Sarah is his mate so its only a matter of time until they finally get together.

I really enjoyed this book, Soren the big moody bear gets his women and I'm happy about that.

FABULOUS ADDITION TO THE SERIES!!!
Title: Redemption
Series: Blue Moon Saloon
Author: Anna Lowe
Designation: Book 3 of Series, Long Novella/Short Novel (Approx 160 pages), *Can Be Read As A Standalone (See Notation), Paranormal Romance, No Cliffhanger, HEA
Reading Platform: eBook & Audiobook Editions
My Rating: FIVE DIVINELY ENTERTAINING STARS*****
*The author does an exceptional job of giving the reader ample backstory in each release, and Redemption could certainly be read as a standalone, but please be aware there is an underlying interconnected conflict running throughout the series. For a richer reading experience and to avoid possible spoilers, this reviewer recommends reading the books sequentially. This is such an awesome series, so I'm sure it's one decision you'll never regret.

I adore paranormal romance and no one does it better than Anna Lowe! I'm a huge fan of Lowe's work and own all of her books. She's one of the few authors on my automatic buy list. When Lowe has a new release, I never even bother to read the blurb; I just one-click. Don't get me wrong; I adore everything Lowe writes, but the entire Blue Moon Saloon Series has earned a special place in my heart. And I'm not the only one who loves it. Damnation, the first book of this series, was voted Best Shifter Book for 2016 by Reality Bites Magazine. Wow, that's impressive! I first became hooked on Lowe's work four years ago after reading Desert Moon, the first release in Lowe's The Wolves of Twin Moon Ranch Series and have been hopelessly addicted ever since. For almost 70 years, I've been a lover of the written word and during that time, I've read an incalculable number of books, written by a diverse group of talented authors. So when I say Anna Lowe is one of my favorites, that's quite a recommendation in itself. It's a little hard to explain why Lowe's stories resonate so strongly with me, but I'll try. Lowe is what I like to call a triple threat. I know that may sound a little ominous, but it's really not. You see, some writers are stronger in certain aspects of the writing process than others. A few may have a great idea for a book or series but have difficulties developing the story and translating their thoughts to written words. Others may be crackerjack wordsmiths or great with story development but struggle with creativity and ideas. Lowe can create, develop, and write and do it all exceptionally well, but Lowe's talent doesn't stop there. She's not only a truly gifted storyteller and skilled wordslinger but also one of the most reliable authors in the romance genre today, consistently penning unique and highly imaginative storylines, set in fascinating worlds, populated with unique characters who will capture your imagination as well as your heart. Lowe's books are all well crafted and edited with beautiful formatting and covers. And Redemption is no exception! In addition to having my nose stuck in a book for several hours every day, I also enjoy listening to audiobooks, which is another reason I'm so enamored with Lowe's work. (Now don't be a jealous Judas. I worked hard to earn my retirement so I could sit back and enjoy my golden years! lol...) Lowe almost always releases audio versions of her books and Redemption was available, so you guessed it, I snagged it to complement my ebook edition. (OMG, don't you just love Amazon's whispersync feature which allows customers to read and listen across multiple devices? And it syncs all my notes and bookmarks! Soooo cool!) There's nothing better than listening to the characters of a great story come to life through the voice of a talented narrator, and Lowe uses one of the best. I love, love, love the artist Lowe uses for her books. Kelsey Osborne does a fabulous job and is one of my all-time favorites. Osborne's reading and narration skills are exceptional, enhanced by her pleasing pitch, soothing dulcet tones, delightful and sometimes amusing voice/character inflections, rhythmic and seemingly effortless cadence, always correct pronunciations, and obvious enthusiasm for her work. But as usual, I digress, especially when talking about my favorite authors and books, so let's discuss a few details about the story itself.

Redemption is an emotionally gripping, fast-paced, well-crafted second chance paranormal romance filled to the brim with pulse-pounding danger, spine-tingling action, heart-wrenching drama, malevolent enemies, agonizing angst, fiery passion, steamy sex, dreamy romance, and laugh-out-loud humor. The narrative is beautifully written in the third person with clearly discernible his and her perspectives. The dialogue is smart, snappy, well-executed, and flows effortlessly. But hands down, my favorite component of every Lowe story is her cast of engaging characters. I found them to be intriguing, endearing, well developed, relatable, and, at times, hilarious. I was immediately smitten with the two protagonists of Redemption, sweet, lovely, and kindhearted Sarah Boone and handsome, man-of-few-words, and always serious Soren Voss. As the new Alpha/Leader of the small ragtag mixed shifter clan of the Blue Moon Saloon, we've seen quite a bit of Soren Voss throughout the series to date and I must admit, I've had a giant crush on the grumpy bearshifter since the very first book. Soren came from a long line of bearshifter clan leaders and as the eldest Voss brother, he'd been groomed since birth for the role. Tragically, his entire clan was destroyed by Rogue Purists, now leaving only him and his brother Simon to pick up the pieces and continue the Voss name. After losing everyone and everything the Voss brothers held dear, starting over was painful, but thanks to the kindness of the Twin Moon Wolf Pack in the high ranges of Arizona, Soren and his brother found safe haven along with a new beginning at the Blue Moon Saloon. Simon was miraculously reunited with the woman he loved and thought died in the attack, but Soren knew there would be no happiness for him. He would never recover from losing his soulmate, who was also murdered during the rogue attack. He tortured himself thinking had he just been there, he may have been able to save her. And Sarah Boone may have been human, but she was the other piece of his soul. He'd loved her since they were children. Even knowing they could never have been together, since he was a bear shifter and she a human, he was consumed with guilt and haunted by his actions of leaving several months before the attack without telling Sarah how he felt... and now he'd never have the chance. But you know what they say - never say never. It seems fate is nowhere near finished with Soren Voss and Sarah Boone. After a vicious attack almost nine months ago that killed her entire family and the man she loved, Sarah Boone had been on the run for her life, trying to outrun her pain and loss, constantly looking over her shoulder, guilt and unhappiness being her only companion. For no rhyme or reason, Sarah's inexplicably pulled to a small town in the higher altitude of Arizona - and drawn to the Blue Moon Saloon. Her money is in short supply, her strength is waning, and her time is running out. She's weak, weary, heartbroken, pregnant, and alone. She desperately needs a job and a place to stay, but who'd hire a pregnant woman who can barely walk? She never expected a miracle and she certainly never dreamed she'd find the only man she'd ever loved, alive and well at the Blue Moon Saloon, the same man who'd broken her heart. And worse, he didn't look happy to see her. But we all know, the heart wants what the heart wants and fate will not be denied. Oh my! I so looked forward to reading Soren's story. I knew it would be emotional and heartbreaking, and Lowe didn't disappoint. These two characters just ripped out my heart. I think I sobbed through 75% of the book and there were several times I wanted to smack Soren on the human head, but thankfully his bear kept him in line! lol... I so loved grumpy Soren and adored kindhearted, courageous Sarah. It was such a heart-wrenching journey for our two starcrossed lovers but never fear, the stars may have forsaken them but the moon never did! And just as she always does, Lowe once again delivers an ending that will warm your heart and leave you grinning from ear to ear. *Happy Sigh*

Did I like this book? No, I LOVED it! Would I recommend it? You bet, and I am but only for adult readers since it does include some steamy, dreamy sex scenes. Will I read this author again? Absolutely! Just as soon as she releases her next book. And finally, was I entertained? Completely! I giggled, snorted, sniffled, sobbed, fumed, and raged through the entire book. There were even a couple of scenes where I was swearing like a sailor and sweating bullets but by the end, I was happy, satisfied, and well entertained! Hey, don't judge; I'm a very emotional reader. Just wait until you read the shootout scene with Sarah and the silver bullets! Oops, slight spoiler! lol... But just a little piece of friendly advice. Don't try to listen to this book while driving. I tried it before and it didn't work out too well. I was speeding down the road, screaming like a banshee! And yes, Osborne's narration was that good! lol... Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!

This is the third story in the Blue Moon Saloon series and picks up where Temptation left off. I got this story in exchange for an honest review. Sarah shows up at the café dehydrated, emaciated, and pregnant. Soren and his bear are overjoyed however, he’s having trouble dealing with her current predicament of being pregnant by another man. Even though he's quite surly, his bear doesn't even care about the situation. All he cares about is claiming his mate. I must say, this is my favorite in this spinoff series so far! There were a couple of twists that I never saw coming. Usually, Anna Lowe will give you a slight clue if you're paying attention as to what will happen next but I was on the edge of my seat as I read the last few chapters. The storyline was deep. There was a lot of action, and the sex was more PG for those who don't like graphic sex scenes. In the end, I was sappy and happy for Soren and Sarah--then that cliffhanger of a preview hit me out of the blue. I can't wait for the next story in the series--and I don't think that the end of the Blue Bloods.

This is the 3rd book in the Reckless Desires series by Anna Lowe and as far as I'm concerned the best to date !! Soren the bear shifter, bar owner thought he had lost Sarah, the one woman he wanted to mate with, the night the Blue-Bloods burned his clan out of their homes and killed all but 3 or 4 , or so he thought. Enter Sarah, the day before the opening of the new cafe next to the bar, in she stumbles, stick thin except for a baby bump, a baby that couldn't be his. It takes a lot of adversity, sex, fear and love for them to get where they can even be in the same room with each other, and then the Blue-Bloods attack the saloon, when everyone is gone but them. Can they work together to survive ? Can they get rid of the "Purity" seekers for good ? Read Redemption to find out !! It was action packed, full of heat and lots of snarky fun !! 5☆'s all the way !! I recieved a gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.

Soren thought he lost the mate he never got to claim in a burning disaster a year ago, so when she appears tired and pregnant in his new town, he´s floored. How did she survive, and who´s babe is it?
Sarah loved Soren more than anything, so when he left her she didn´t know what to do. When she finds herself targeted and on the run, she has just one thought in mind, to save her unborn baby.
Can she really find refuge in this new place, and how come it already feels like home?
PNR romance, action, suspense and smutty fluff in a great combo, and a HEA I´ve waited for since I first read about burly, surly Soren <3

This grabbed me and had me all teary eyed in no time flat. Soren is such a strong and serious person. To see both Soren and Sarah in pain and anguish. As both Sarah’s story is revealed and Soren’s secret is forced, they have to find acceptance in each other. The story is sweet and endearing, especially the ending.

Redemption: Reckless Desires Blue Moon Saloon Book 3
by Anna Lowe
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My love affair with Anna Lowe books continues with Redemption Reckless Desires Blue Moon Saloon Book 3. It will continue through with each story and will last as long as she picks up a pen. Once again Anna Lowe has a another five star book, but then from her there is nothing else. A Racing Heart Beat is what Anna Lowe cause's my heart to do. Whenever I read one of her books I have certain expectation, there will be hot shifters and the storyline will have me on the edge of my seat good, the heroine will be witty, strong, loving and at the end we will get our HEA. I am always intrigued, awed and excited to read another book of Anna. I love her paranormal romance that has lots of passion, with sweet sated thoroughly love sensual scenes. Sometimes it is the simplest things in the world that Anna gives us but with difficult but simplistic love. You will be seduced into the story, to laugh and to slowly fall in love with a love that last. With every story I read of Anna's I learned something new about her and that is she is so skilled at her craft and there is nothing she can’t accomplish with her talent and imagination. There is no emotion she can’t touch, no ledge she can’t venture out on, no heart she can’t mend, no fear she can’t tap into and no place she can’t enter. She stepped outside of her box, did not follow her norm, took a different path yet with this story she made me feel every emotion, because of that something different she did. Anna help us discover that at the end of this road is a story so compelling, a hero so chivalrous, a heroine so strong that you feel all kinds of emotions. You will get involved in a world that has hate, pride, prejudice, acceptant, forgiveness, forever love, lost in the search for answers and lost in Anna Lowe’s world. The characters are what we normally expect from Anna, but there is a difference its not a bad one and in this case it's outstanding. She displayed the ingenious that she consistently shows within the confines of book pages. Anna Lowe is a storyteller with such heart, such tenderness, such compassion and realism. I love that she did not sugarcoat prejudice, she gave us forgiveness, she gave us love and HEA. Now I like to give you a small taste of what made me love and enjoy this book.

Excerpt From: Redemption: Reckless Desires Blue Moon Saloon Book 3
by Anna Lowe
This material is protected by copyright.
Everything froze. His heart ceased beating. Blood stopped pulsing through his veins. His lungs halted in midbreath, and even his bear went from rattling the bars of the mental cage he kept it locked behind to absolutely, positively still. Her hair was darker. Her scent had changed a tiny bit, too. And she was thin —far, far too thin. But the second his eyes locked on those impossibly green eyes, he knew. “Soren?” It was barely a whisper, but her voice shot straight to his heart. “Sarah,” he managed. Mate! his inner bear roared. Alive! It was Sarah. His Sarah. Alive! He wanted to grab her and dance her around. To crush her to his chest and never, ever let go. He wanted to roar loud enough for folks all the way back in Montana to hear. To sit her down and start feeding her hearty meals to make up for whatever illness or hard times were responsible for making her so gaunt. But before he could do any of those things, her hand dropped to her belly. A stretched-out, round-as-a-basketball belly so out of place on that thin frame. His breath caught as his mind slowly processed what that meant. Pregnant. She was pregnant.

Another five star book, but then from her there is nothing else, this is a Magnificent series. Each of the books will leave you feeling happy and in a loving frame of mind. This is a Fantastic series it's scorching hot, sexy, it has romance with attitude. If this is not the kind of stuff you like to read, skip this book. However, if you're a fan of all things naughty, sexual tension, action and humor, this is perfect for you. Enjoy!If you love romance and in need of a pick up this is definitely a fabulous choice for your TBR list. I recommend this book to everyone who loves a AWESOME love story.

If you believe in the world of love and romance then the possibilities are endless and fascinating.

Anna knocked out the box again. I think I was a little impatient with this book. I wanted it to jst happen for Soren and Sarah to just fall back in place. But of course Anna built up the story but the suspense was killing me. Sarah is such a strong woman and Soren was all ALPHA. It was so so good that I could not put the book down until I finished. I was like finally! Soren had got his woman. His mate, excuse me. I'm so in awwh that them two stood their ground and fought to protect their home. She realized it was her home. Annie Oakley must have a little spirit in her to guide her to be take that .44 Winchester and take care of business. Of course it was hot how she Soren told her bears are good wolves are bad...but only these wolves... I love how Soren tried to explain about being a shifter and it took Janna and Jessica to push him out and talk for hours with Sarah and her wanted to get he mate bite. She got her wish. This story gave me such a rush. I think thats enough. Don't wanna gove the story away. Oh did I forget to mention she was pregnant by Todd? Soren's best friend and cousin. ooowee makings for a good story don't you agree?

The Blue Moon Saloon spin-off from the Wolves of Twin Moon Ranch series is a hit on its own. This standalone addition to the series tells the story of Soren Voss, grizzly bear shifter and clan alpha. He and his brother Simon were out of state when a rogue wolf pack destroyed their birth clan and family. Most of a nearby wolf pack was also annihilated, along with a family that lived on the edge of town, operating a trading post. Included was their daughter, Sarah Boone, Sorren's unclaimed mate. Sorren and Simon tracked and killed the wolves responsible for the carnage. Then, exhausted, they settled in Twin Moon wolf pack territory, leasing and operating the Blue Moon Saloon from the pack. Soren is resigned to a life lived without his mate, until the impossible happens and she walks back into his life. He is stunned, happy she survived, but devastated that she is obviously no longer his, in spite of what his bear says. It will take time for them to come to terms with the realities of their pasts, time they may not have with the purist extremist rogues still on the hunt.

Quick Info
Standalone/Cliffhanger?: Standalone
Part of a Series?: Yes
POV: Soren and Sarah
----------------------------------
Meeting the Characters
Soren Voss - Alpha of the Blue Moon Clan
Sarah Boone - His true mate
----------------------------------
What happens?
Sarah and Soren think they have lost the other. Soren believes Sarah died in the fire that killed and wiped out most of his family and clan. However Sarah turns up outside the bar and cafe heavily pregnant and running from the same people that killed their families.

She is completely unaware that she is the destined mate and he is a bear shifter let alone the alpha of the clan she is hiding with and working for.
Final thoughts
This story was nice, it was a little irritating who she is pregnant by and how I was hoping for something else. Not sure what. However their romance is nice.

Soren Voss, alpha of Blue Moon clan, was amazed and at the same time hurt. His Sarah was alive but pregnant by another man. His mate was not his anymore! Sarah wanted to explain but how difficult was to talk about it. Seemed there was no time and the enemy was lurking in the dark each time closer. The Blue Bloods didn’t give them a break. All of them were in danger and when everything seemed lost the unexpected happened. Way to work with the suspense. Redemption, the third installment in the Blue Moon series, caught my eye immediately because with the previous cliffhanger I was desperate to know what happened to Sarah. The author kept me guessing all the time. I was enjoying the thrill of the suspense and anticipating what would happen next. Sarah’s character was very interesting and full of surprises. That human woman was amazing. Enjoyed the action, the intrigue, cheered through the fight and sighed through their special moments. What a great story!

Redemption is the 3rd book in the captivating, paranormal romance series Blue Moon Saloon written by Anna Lowe. It most definitely can be read as a stand alone. However, you will find that once you finish, you'll want to read the other stories. As the leader/alpha of the new clan this series is about, I couldn't wait to read Soren's story. Just when I think I might know what to expect from this author's books, she completely surprises me. You will find yourself anxiously rooting for Sarah and Soren and even shedding a few tears as you journey with them to their HEA. Great characters, amazing plot, awesome setting along with some heat - this book won't disappoint you.

Soren couldn't believe his mate was alive. After all this time trying to convince himself he could move on without her, that he could make the clan his life. Sarah was tired of wandering, staying one step ahead of those trying to kill her. To be in front of Soren again. A dream come true. But will he be able to forgive her for what she has done?
Fantastic book in the Blue Moon series. Soren is a man of few words, but feels things deeply. Sarah was living with guilt. Neither willing to make that first move. I love the characters, you can't help but fall in love with them.Each book can be read as a stand alone but reading in order helps you understand each character and background story.

Wow, this was an emotional, romantic, and terrific read, full of action and suspense. Bear shifter Soren thought that the love of his life, Sarah, had died and destroyed his happiness. But when she walks in the door to his Saloon, and with a life changing secret, his whole world tilts on its axis. Sarah has been on the run since the fire, trying to find a safe place and she never expected to run into the man she loves. But each of them are keeping secrets, and their meeting is not all happiness and love, for there is danger that is searching for them. I was give a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

It was good to finally find out all about Sarah and Soren’s story. As usual the blue moon series continue to intrigue and the passion is astounding as ever. You will be blown away with how Sarah became pregnant, but glad that Soren is the man he is as he accepts her back into her life. And she proves her worth by fighting side by side with Soren to kill the rogues that killed their families.

Got to read an excerpt from the next book in the series, and wonder how this new development will affect the newly reacquainted mates.

Another great Blue Moon Saloon story by Anna Lowe. This is Soren and Sarah"s story. This is a very touching story about love thought to be lost. Soren has lived with the pain of Sarah dying in a fire. She has been on the run since the night of the rogue attack. She ends up finding her lost love. The only complication is that she is pregnant. Will Soren accept her and the baby? Will he tell her about his bear? Who is the daddy? What happens when the rogue wolves show up again? This is a must read at 5 stars. I was given this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A second chance or torture
When the love of Soren Voss’ life is found to be a live and walks into their town Soren’s heart jumps for joy, that is until he sees her round with another man’s child. But he can’t turn her away, she needs help and so does the child. The Blue Bloods are after her as well as the rest of them still. This well written book brings all kinds of emotions into it. It’s well written and very entertaining to read. Several surprises and lots of action and adventure.

Soren’s mind is in the present. As the Alpha of this small clan-pack of bears and wolves, it’s on his shoulders to help create a safe place for them, provide for them through the bar and now the new addition of the cafe. His soul is in the past seeking revenge against the rogues and the fanatic mad man who destroyed his clan, the woman he loved and her family and so many others. His heart is with Sarah. The human mate who died because of her association with him – and she hadn’t understood why since she didn’t know he was a bear shifter. And worse, he and his brother were on the East coast when the attack happened – they not only could not save their clan, he could not save his mate. His heart may still beat, but emotionally he spent his time in dreams and memories of his love, Sarah.

Sarah had survived the fire and was now on the run from those who would kill her on sight. She had no clue why her family was destroyed or why they wanted her dead. But she kept on moving toward a town, a place she didn’t know only because it felt like the safe place to head. She had no idea that she was heading right to Soren. Exhausted, scared and heavily pregnant, Sarah kept returning to walk along the street in front of the building marked Blue Moon Saloon. She had no idea why, but it seemed to draw her and she couldn’t leave the area. When she almost fell in the street, strangers quickly surrounded her and brought her into a building, sat her down and offered her water. The glass slipped from the man’s hands as he got a good look at her – and then seemed to growl and head out the back door. Soren. She’d found the man she loved and was once loved by – only to show up on his doorstep heavy with another man’s child.

I have loved the Blue Moon Saloon series since the prequel. And throughout we’ve been aware of Soren’s pain at the death of the woman he loved. So I have to say that Redemption is my favorite of the series – even though I know there is more to come, this one fills so many holes in my emotional attachment to these characters. And Redemption is a very good title for it covers more than simply Sarah and Soren’s reunion. It would be very easy to give away spoilers, so I think that I’m going to stop here with this last thought… there is an epic battle that if you’ve followed the series you will not want to miss.

Redemption is an emotional roller coaster of a read. If you love Shifter Romance, then this series is one that you should have on your reading list – and when you get to the point of reading this story, I think you’ll understand why it is my favorite of the entire series. I have no hesitation in recommending this story and this series to anyone who loves Shifters or simply a lovely, compelling love story.

This book, the third in the series brings completion to Soren's story. Sorin and his brother Simon both moved to The Blue Moon Saloon after their whole clan/family were murdered, burned alive, by The Bluebloods a group of fanatical killers determined to stop shifters mating outside their own species. But Sorin didn't only lose his family he lost Sarah, the human, who was his Destined Mate.

Many months later Sorin gets his second chance at love and happiness when Sarah gets off the bus just outside the Blue Moon, she's thin, she's frightened, she has scars after trying to save her parents from the fire which killed them. Sorin is both shocked and elated to see her alive but then he notices something which could change everything - Sarah is pregnant and there is no way the baby could be his!

I really felt for Sorin his elation at seeing Sarah alive, his hurt at the thought of his mate choosing another man over him, his need to help her and the baby whilst trying to remain strong, for himself and his clan/pack. Over time we find out what happened in Montana. We watch as Sarah and Sorin build new bonds as she is welcomed into their little community, working in the cafe run by Janna and Jessica (Damnation and Temptation) and helping Sorin too.

But their peaceful life is threatened again, by The Blue Bloods lead by Victor White. I was on the edge of my seat as both Sarah and Sorin fight for their very lives and their future. I would love to tell you more but that would be one spoiler too many so what I will say is you definitely need to listen to this book - the characters, the descriptive writing style and the wonderful narration by the super talented Kelsey Osborne cannot be bettered.

The third book in this series and my favourite so far. Great characters with an intruiging and emotional plot that leaves you teary eyed.

Soren, Alpha bear of his clan, tries to make a new life for him and his brother at the Blue Moon Saloon. He is happy his clan is expanding, but also dispirited as he believes his destined mate is dead. It seemed like all his desires came true when Sarah walked into the bar and back into his life. However, Sarah is pregnant, but not with his child.

Sarah is on the run after she escaped a horrifying attack that left her family and friends dead. She is still being hunted and ends up in the Blue Moon Saloon, where she gets the shock of her life. The man she loves is there, but looks at her in anguish and rage when he sees her baby bump.

Will they overcome the heartache that their actions have brought them? They will have to work through it and fast because time is running out as the hunters have their prey in their sights.

Fast-paced, action packed with suspense, but still emotional and passion filled. Once again, Ms Lowe has given the inner bear a unique voice and personality of his own.

Great read and highly recommended!

Soren thinks that his mate and love of his life died in a fire set by their enemies. He now owns a bar with two other bear shifters in the town by Twin Moon Ranch.
Sarah survived the fire by a twist of fate. She believes that Soren died and takes comfort with his cousin. One night things go to far when she gets drink and imagined that it is Soren she is with. The enemy finds her and she goes on the run.
Now she is in Arizona, eight months pregnant and realizes that Soren is still alive. Can these two get their second chance? Or are there too many things between them. What happens when the enemy catches up to her?
This is an intriguing way to continue this series. There is plenty to entice and tantilate in this story.

Book 3 in blue moon saloon series by Anna Lowe
I didn’t think this book would top book 2 but as always I shouldn’t had judge a book too soon especially a Anna Lowe book.
Soren is heartbroken after losing his mate to a awful fire set my the rogues and starts to build a life with his brother and wolf clan mates.
One day a heavily pregnant human is brought into the saloon almost collapsed and Soren brings her water but is completely shocked to find his dead Sarah in his saloon and look very pregnant.
I absolutely loved this book it through complete curve balls and twist in there that compelled me to listening and not stop.
Kelsey Osborne does another fantastic job getting the amazing story by Anna Lowe across to listeners that I can’t stop listening.

Soren and Sarah

Overall: 5 Stars
Performance: 5 Stars
Story: 5 Stars

I think this is my favorite couple in in the series so far. I love how they slowly made their way back to each other. While both had valid reasons for their hurt and anger, they didn't wallow in it. They were very pragmatic about the situation they found themselves in.

Something I really loved was that there wasn't a silly misunderstanding that had kept them separated from one another. The issues were valid and appeared insurmountable. Too many stories use that cliched and overused trope, imo.

The story was well-composed which is the norm for Ms. Lowe's books. I've never been disappointed with her stories. Her characters are imperfect, but improve throughout the story. The stories are do follow a typical pattern so the reader does know what to expect in the general sense. For myself, this is truly part of the charm. She definitely does *not* let it get stale/boring. I can trust she's going to tell me a fantastic story that I'm going to love.

The narrator, Ms. Osborne, did a fantastic job of reading/acting out the story. She's really grown as a narrator.

I'm looking forward to the next book.

Disclosure: I received a free copy of the audiobook. I also purchased the Kindle version.

Soren and Sarah smolder in this beautiful love story. Each thought they’d lost the other. When they come to find each other once again, they are different people. Can they pick up where they left off? Can Soren allow himself to be vulnerable and love Sarah and can she give herself over and trust him? Reading this is such an intense, emotional, toe-curling experience! If you’ve not visited The Blue Moon Saloon, go in now. You’ll be glad you did!
