Publisher's Summary

The next in a new dark and gritty paranormal series. Abandoned and Unseen continues the journey with New York Times best-selling authors Alexandra Ivy and Carrie Ann Ryan.

Abandoned

When bear shifter Anya Tucker fell in love with the wrong man, the only thing she left with was a broken heart - and her two bear cubs. Now, she's mended her wounds and learned that in order to raise her babies, she can only trust herself. When her sons meet the lazy cat next door and fall heads over tails for him, she'll do whatever she takes to protect them - even from a past she'd thought she'd left behind.

Cole McDermott is a jaguar on a mission. Long naps, a willing woman, and a full stomach is usually all he needs when it comes to relaxing after a long day of protecting his pack. Then he meets Anya, and the burn of temptation is silky and tantalizing indeed. When a horror from Anya's past threatens everything she loves, Cole will put everything aside and fight for her family - as well as his own.

Unseen

Nicole Bradley had no reason to live after the humans murdered her son - not until she learns to hunt down those responsible for his death. Shifting into her wolf form at night, she slips out of the compound, determined to do as much damage as possible. The last thing she expected was to discover secrets that could destroy the SAU.

Polar shifter Tucker Stone lives off the grid. It's the only way the unseen can avoid being rounded up by the humans and tossed into a compound. Besides, he's a loner by nature. But he can't walk away when he sees the pretty female wolf in danger. Risking exposure, he takes her to his hidden den and tries to heal her wounds.

Can a reclusive polar bear and a wolf with a death wish find happiness together?

Branded Packs Book Two

Branded Packs Book Two

Abandoned:
Anya Tucker is fed up with the lazy cat shifter that has allowed her boys to hang out under his tree. Cole McDermott is not the kind of male she wants her cubs to look up to. When Owen and Lucas go missing, however, Cole is the first person she runs to for help. As the cats' tracker, Cole can find anyone. When Anya scents the man who betrayed her years ago, though, her bear loses it. Will Anya and Cole survive outside the compound? More importantly, will they survive each other?

Unseen:
Nicole Bradley is on a vendetta. She will not stop until she finds the man who killed her baby seven years ago, even if she endangers the lives of the Unseen - a pack of shifters who have not been caught and branded. Tucker Stone knows he has to stop the woman, but he understands her pain. After seeing the proof of the brutality against her son, Tucker decides to help her in his own way. Maybe they can help each other.

Audio Review:
Aiden Snow narrates this series with a balance between drama and reality. He knows when to pump up the action and when to pull back for the emotional moments. His deep voice and talent with accents gives each character a personality and depth that enhances the authors' written words.

If you're looking for two stories about women who were betrayed and the men who can right those wrongs, this is the book for you!

Delightful Series

Carrie Ann and Alexandra have a delightful style of working together. Each book seems to have two different stories that intertwine characters. You'll enjoy these shorts and be amused and entertained at the twists and turns that bring the SAU into play with each of the shifter packs.

Omg so flipping awesome

Okay Peps you want 2 yes I said to of today's hottest authors writing the most amazing series together ever. Then pick this one. I'm normally not a fan of writers coming together like this because of the difference that normally make it hard to follow, but not this one. My god not only is each author in there own right but together it book magic. I could die today one happy woman after listening to this book. It's sooooooooooooo great. I love love love love thid. And let me tell you you won't stop listening once you start. It's that awesome.
I received this audio arc for my honest opinion

belief in the truth will always find a way to win

this series is so awesome, the thoughts in this are almost scary in the fact of government being like that, but the shifters even though done wrong keep strong in trying to prove the government is in the wrong and are what caused all the deaths in the first place. Having two books in each one tells two couples stories from meeting to battling the bad guys.

2 in 1

This amazing book actually has two stories in it. And that are both written and narrated beautifully.

Bears, Cats and Wolves

This follows the same of 2 stories in one. The first had Anya and Cole which I loved them together. Cole comes across as hellasexy. Anya's cubs are taken so this follows them on their journey to get their cubs back.
The next is a Polar Bear Tucker, who I vision being so hot! He and Nicole have just as hard of a journey as the rest so far in this series as Nicole seeks revenge on her son being killed by the SAU guards.
I enjoyed this one and moving on to the next in the series.
Aiden Snow did heavenly as always.

I bought this book because of the narrator

this book needs help with the dialog not very convening in the hot sex scene

Great PNR series

I am enjoying this series more and more as it goes on. I love the characters and how they are intertwined with each other as well as each other‘s books. Aiden Snow does an amazing job narrating this series and I look forward to the next book.

Very good set of stories :)

Abandoned
Time: 0:00-3:21

The blurb gives the basics of the story. Because of her past, Anya isn't interested in a relationship, especially with Cole. Unfortunately, crap happens that Cole and Anya end up facing together and the situation prompts Anya to take a better look at Cole and realize his worth. It's a good story and I liked how things got worked out, ending with Anya and Cole together and as happy as possible (considering their situation).

Unseen
Time: 3:21-6:54

This was an enjoyable story. I liked both Tucker and Nicole and was happy to see them get a happy ending. This story was a bit different from the previous ones because Tucket is a shifter that's not locked in a compound. He and his pack are free and operate undercover to help the captive shifters. There were a couple points in the story that weren't perfect but I liked it overall and had no major complaints. Although it could still go wrong if they're found out, Nicole and Tucker do get a more substantial HEA than previous couples so it was a very nice ending. :)

These 2 stories were both stories I enjoyed, even if the non-romantic subject matter isn't always the easiest to deal with. It is pretty engaging though and I like the characters so I will be continuing the series to see what happens. :D

* note - I listened to the audio version of these stories and the narrator did a very good job.

So stimulating

I loved these books. I am hoping and praying there are more to come. I love the way everyone seems to come together as one even though they come from 3 different backgrounds. There is intrigue and love and passion all though out the book. Really enjoy these two authors writing together.

Fab Paranormal romances

Two really good paranormal romance short stories in the Branded Packs series by two great authors, good narration by Aiden Snow. I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

Fantastic

What’s the recipe for an amazing book? Put two of the hottest writers imaginable together and let them work their magic. The stories are strong the characters are even stronger and the heat is off the charts.
