Carrie Ann Ryan interviews Balin from Her Warrior’s Three Wishes

Thank you so much for having me today! I’m very lucky to have one of my heroes from Her Warriors’ Three Wishes today. Balin is a demon from hell who isn’t like other demons and because he’s trying to be good, he’s dying from it.

Carrie Ann: Hi, Balin. Thanks for taking the time to sit with me.

Balin: *kisses Carrie Ann’s cheek and sits down* Thanks for having me. It’s a little odd sitting down for an interview without my mates.

Carrie Ann: *still blushing from Balin’s kiss* I totally understand. Usually I do interviews with you, Ambrose, and Jamie, but I thought this time I’d sit down with each of you separately. I’ll be interviewing Ambrose and Jamie a little later for different blogs.

Balin: I don’t mind, now, what did you want to ask me?

Carrie Ann: Tell me what life was like before you met Jamie and Ambrose.

Balin: *frowns* I spent almost three hundred years in the pits of hell. I was either at war with other demon factions or held against my will by my father. He didn’t want me to find my true half so I could live.

Carrie Ann: What do you mean?

Balin: In order for a demon to survive after three hundred years, they have to take souls. Sometimes they can take souls from humans who sacrifice themselves for demons or they take them against their will. I chose not to do that. I didn’t want to be evil. In order for me to live though, I needed another form of energy.

Carrie Ann: And I take it the mating bond helped with that.

Balin: Yes, if it’s done right, our mating bond acts like its own energy source so I don’t die and I also give some of my own powers to my mates.

Carrie Ann: I’m so happy you were lucky enough to find Jamie and Ambrose when you did then. Even if it was under the wire.

Balin: Tell me about it.

Carrie Ann: Tell me more about Ambrose and Jamie.

Balin: *grins* I love them. They literally saved my life and brought me to the human realm.

Carrie Ann: Is there anything special you want to tell me about them? What’s your favorite part about each of them?

Balin: Ambrose is strong—stronger than me I think. He might act like stone to others, but I love when he breaks apart and shows who he can be when it’s just the three of us. Jamie…oh Jamie. She’s everything. She’s the one that holds us together and brings out the best of us. She’s also the one who might look the weakest, but can flatten us all with her inner strength.

Carrie Ann: Okay, now fun ones. Chocolate or vanilla?

Balin: *grins* No one can accuse me of being vanilla.

Carrie Ann: *blush* What is it I hear about you and walls for ah…certain…ah…things?

Balin: *wicked grin* You’ll just have to read and find out.

Carrie Ann: *fans self* Okay, so, ah, I guess I should let you go back to your mates. Thanks for stopping by and readers, if you have any questions for me and Balin, let me know!

Humans aren’t as alone as they choose to believe. Every human possesses a trait of supernatural that lays dormant within their genetic make-up. Centuries of diluting and breeding have allowed humans to think they are alone and untouched by magic. But what happens when something changes?

Ambrose Griffin is older than most, if not all, civilizations. As each year passes, he submerses himself into his training, only relaxing around his protégée and friend, Shade.  After losing his wife and children in the last Angelic Wars, he guards his heart and has no desire to share it with another.

Bookkeeper and romance novel enthusiast, Jamie Bennett dreams of being swept off her feet by a white knight. However, her life is no romance book. Since meeting Ambrose—a sexy, delicious angel—she’s been twisted inside out and doesn’t know why.  Things are happening that she can’t control and now her life is in danger.

Balin Drake is stuck in hell, literally. His life of refusing to take souls, even though it’s part of his demon nature, has caught up with him. He’s dying and now must search for his true half, but even a mating may not save him. When he meets the two people who could fill that part, he’ll need to fight for something he hasn’t felt in over a century—hope.

Warning: Contains a rigid angel who needs a certain sexy woman to help him unwind, a book keeper who finds herself the creamy center of the best cookie ever, and a demon who has a certain taste for pressing them both against walls.

An Excerpt:

Jamie’s skin tightened, and weakness spread through her. She fought off the shakes that normally came with it and she knew she must look pale. “Yeah, that’s it.” Not the fact that she’d felt out of sorts for a freaking year because a certain angel had left her alone in the human realm.

A flash of white caught her eye, and Jamie barely held back a gasp. 

Oh, that just figured.

Ambrose, the man she’d tried to forget, walked toward her, a frown on his face. The man—no, angel—seemed to always be frowning, never smiling. His face would probably crack if he ever did show a happier emotion.

“Is everything all right?” he asked, his voice deep. The rough sound shot straight through her system. She was helpless to defend herself against it. 

She knew she resembled one of the heroines in the romance novels she loved to read, standing there doe-eyed, falling in love… 

Damn the man.

REVIEW:

3.5 Stars In Her Warriors’ Three Wishes Jamie Bennett finds herself in Hell, literally. She has been kidnapped by Pyro, her intended mates enemy. But what is worse is that her intended mate has not wanted anything to do with her for the last year. But Ambrose seems to be her only hope of surviving her unplanned trip to hell. But fate seems to have a little trick up her sleeve…..

See Ambrose is not Jamie’s only intended mate..

This was a good story. It started a little slow but picked up quickly. For some reason I am not really feeling the menage story line these days. I am not sure why. It is not the writing, the story or the characters. I think it is just me. But I still enjoyed this story and love the new cast of characters that were introduced. *cough* Hunter!!!

Can’t wait for his story.

Redwood Pack Vol 4

contains the fifth book in the Redwood Pack series and a special novella in print and digital form

Forgiveness – Redwood Pack 4.7

Adam Jamenson’s courtship of his mate wasn’t the most conventional. In fact, it didn’t exist. Though he knows Bay loves him with every ounce of her soul, he needs to prove to her that he’s worth it. Not only for her, but for himself. While they move on and learn to be the Enforcer mated pair, Bay will find herself on a path that leads her to a history beyond just her and Adam’s mating. When she finds a locket rich in history and memories, she’ll do all in her power to see those involved found and remembered. With Adam by her side, they’ll both find the true meaning of forgiveness.

Author’s Note: This is a novella set between books 4 and 5 to give you a taste of Bay and Adam. It is best that you have already immersed yourselves in the Redwood Pack world, however even new readers will enjoy a glimpse of one of the Redwood’s favorite couples.

Shattered Emotions – Redwood Pack 5

Maddox Jamenson is the Omega of the Redwood Pack, the one burdened by emotions stronger than his own. He’s spent his entire life shrouded in the secrets of his “gift” and the price he has to pay to keep it, yet the cost just escalated. He’s known a mate could be in the cards for him, but he can’t have what he wants. Not when the battles he has yet to fight could destroy her.

Ellie Reyes was the Central’s princess, the daughter of the most hated Alpha of all time, yet not prized. No, she’s spent her life as the toy of her brother’s sadistic torture and has endured a pain that no one else should have to even contemplate. Though when she’s rescued, the one person who could help her, her mate, turns his back on her for reasons unknown to her. As each day passes, the strength that everyone sees in her dwindles to a point that there may be no coming back from.

When the Centrals find a new way to attack, leaving Ellie’s only protection a mate that she doesn’t think wants her, they’ll both have to overcome their fears and fight for something stronger than their pain.  The war isn’t over and new players are coming that will decide the outcome. Maddox and Ellie’s connection will be tested even as their fragile bond is only newly forming.

Now she’s back in Holiday and ready to take over her duties…as well as deal with Jackson once and for all. But there’s another player in town who isn’t happy with the decisions she made all those years ago and Jackson might be the one who takes the brunt of that anger.

Kelly’s review of Her Lucky Love by Carrie Ann Ryan

TITLE: Her Lucky Love
SERIES: Holiday Montana #4
CHARACTERS: Brayden Cooper & Allison Malone
AUTHOR: Carrie Ann Ryan
PUBLICATION DATE: March 2, 2013
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Brayden Cooper has always been lucky. It’s in his blood and in the coin that he has hanging on a leather tie around his neck. He has everything in the world he could ever want: money, a job, brothers he loves, and the luck that comes with his powers. Yet he’s empty. Everyone but him knows he loves Allison, yet it’s going to take something stronger than luck to bring them together.

Allison Malone is exhausted. After the death of her abusive husband, her hell of a marriage is finally over and now she’s alone with her three children that are the center of her world. Long hours at work, plus mommy duty at home are taking its toll on her and that’s not the worst of it. Her late husband’s family is in town and they want her children.

The outsiders have secrets of their own and it’s going to take all of the Coopers, especially Brayden’s, help to save them. When trouble attacks, Allison will have to remember that she’s also a woman who needs love, and Brayden might be the one to give that to her.

Warning: Contains one sexy mechanic with a lucky streak, a waitress who needs to give into her temptations, and a love so fierce it’s bound to set the sheets on fire. Again.

REVIEW:
Finally Brayden gets his story and we get to see a side of Bray that no one would believe. See Brayden is the nice Cooper brother. Well that is what everyone thinks. But Brayden has been keeping a secret. One he has not wanted to share with anyone let alone his pain in the butt brothers. But when a threat from Allison’s past comes back, Brayden is willing to do anything to keep the love of his life safe and sound.

This was a really good story. I was so happy that Bray & Ally finally got over their issues and made a run of it. They are so sweet & hot together. And Brayden while he may seem the sweet nice Cooper brother, he does have a few surprises up his sleeves for his new lady love.

If you have enjoyed the other Holiday Montana stories you will really enjoy Her Lucky Love. Can’t wait to see what happens with the next and final book in the Holiday Montana series.

Carrie Ann Ryan is interviewing Brayden & Allison

Carrie Ann: Hi everyone! Thank you so much for having me here today! I’m sitting with Brayden and Allison, my characters from HER LUCKY LOVE and we’re going to talk about the fun things in life. As you might know, I’ve already sat them down to have a serious interview so of course, this one is all but the not so serious.

Brayden: Thanks for having us, Carrie Ann, but I’m a little worried about what you have planned.

Carrie Ann: *grins* Oh, I love Kelly and Kimberly, so I wouldn’t do anything to scary. Well…not too much.

Allison: Yes, I’m definitely worried now.

Carrie Ann: You’ll just have to wait and see. So, let’s get started. What did you think of your first kiss?

Brayden: With each other?

Allison: *rolls eyes* I would hope she was asking that since I really don’t want to know who you kissed before me.

Brayden: *leans to kiss her nose* Of course, darling, though if anyone has to be annoyed with past kisses, it’s me.

Allison: *narrows eyes but kisses him softly* Fine. We’ll forget that part and just go onto our first kiss. And really? It was…magical.

Brayden: Good word choice. And I agree…it was…perfect.

Carrie Ann: *sighs* Well, I was going for heat with that question, but y’all made me all swoony. Okay, now, Brayden this one’s for you. Some readers have mentioned to me that you seem to be more…dominant than your brothers. Would you say that’s true?

Brayden: *throws his head back and laughs* How on earth would I know what my brothers do? As for me? Well, I like what I like.

Allison: That’s for sure. *sighs* But he likes what I like to so…

Carrie Ann: See? I knew you’d be perfect for each other. Okay, now the quick questions. Chocolate or Vanilla?

Brayden & Allison: Chocolate.

Brayden: Chocolate on Allison is even better.

Allison: *blushes* Brayden…

Carrie Ann: See? This is what I was hoping for. Soft or Hard?

Allison: Hard then soft.

Brayden: Ditto.

Carrie Ann: *swoons* Well then, I think we get the picture. I’m so glad that after so many years, y’all are happy and you have your own family. It was a long time coming.

Brayden: Tell me about it.

Allison: Totally.

Carrie Ann: Well, thank you so much for having us here and Brayden, Allison, and I will be here to answer questions to fire away!

Excerpt:

He loved her too much to be with her and take away her independence.

Brayden wasn’t lucky enough to be with someone like her.

He snorted at that last thought.

Well, he was damn lucky at everything else he did. It was just too freaking ironic that he couldn’t be lucky at the one thing he most desperately needed. But, that was the life he’d chosen for himself, and he’d have to learn to live with it. No, he hadn’t chosen who he fell in love with—that was Ally’s doing. But, he had chosen to let her be the best mom she could and stand aside throughout the years. He’d chosen to watch her with another man and watch those kids grow up without him other than just a friend.

Holiday Montana Series Spotlight

What is Holiday, Montana?

So what is Holiday, Montana and why do I keep going on and on about it? Well, that’s easy, this the name of my new series and the small town where my sexy Cooper brothers live. But it’s not just that, not by far.

Holiday, Montana is where make believe is real. Every myth you heard as a child about holidays and the characters that made it fun aren’t myths…but real. Santa, the tooth fairy, Cupid, witches, ghosts…they’re all real.

But the world doesn’t know it.

Holiday is the mecca of holiday paranormals and the Cooper brothers are in the middle of them all. Each Cooper brother will find out that the holidays aren’t as boring as they thought they were, no, they’re filled with magic.

And What About Those Cooper Brothers?

Oh, this is one of my favorite topics. I love the Cooper brothers. Five sexy, competent men who each have a story to be told. Each of them has a career, an attitude, a personality, and something sexy about them. You’ll meet each of them in their own books in the Holiday, Montana series. Plus, they’re in each book to make sure you don’t forget them.

Ha, like I could ever do that.

I love starting a new series and finding a new family to love—particularly when that family includes five hunky, independent, swoon-worthy men. Uh huh, I’m talking about the Cooper brothers. You’ll meet each of these boys—no, men—in my Holiday, Montana series.

But what I really want to do here is let y’all know about the Cooper brothers. These handsome men are as tight a crew as any brethren and only have themselves to depend on. I thought I’d introduce you to them now and you can meet them more in their own books in the Holiday, Montana series.

Matt Cooper is the hero of Charmed Spirits and is the youngest of them all at thirty. He owns the hardware store in town and as a teenager was in love with Jordan Cross—the town witch and outcast. He’s loved her all this time, yet he thought he’d long lost that. He’s a laid back guy, always there for those who need him. Some may even call him a Beta, but only where it counts. Because believe me, and Jordan, he’s Alpha when it’s needed. He also has a secret or two, but I’m not telling.

Justin Cooper is school principal and ex-bad boy of the Cooper clan and the hero of my current release, Santa’s Executive. He’s always been the one that did what he wanted, when he wanted. But after an accident as a teen, he changed gears a bit and now cares more about others than himself. He may just need to meet someone else to help him realize that he’s more than just the ex-bad boy and has something more to give than just his time.

Tyler Cooper is the town sheriff and ladies’ man as well as the hero of my upcoming Finding Abigail. He may be the love ‘em and leave ‘em type, but he’s up front about it. He’s not callous in his attentions, but the ladies that may fall for him knew the score to begin with. Though there may be a woman in town that could change all that, he’s sworn to protect the town rather than his heart.

Brayden Cooper is the town mechanic and the quiet one of the family as well as the hero of the upcoming Her Lucky Love. Though he’ll laugh and joke with his brothers, no one really knows quite who he is. He is, however, the man who will always be there for anyone. Especially a certain single-mother who is in desperate need of help.

Jackson Cooper is the town dentist and has the worst temper of the bunch and will get his story in Dreams of Ivory. No one really knows why he’s so angry, but there has to be a reason. Plus, even though the evidence is mounting in the town that magic exists, it still seems like nonsense to him. Magic can’t exist in his opinion, because if it did….things would have been different.

Well, those are my Cooper men. What do y’all think? I hope you guys get a chance to meet these men in their own books. Each book will be coming out for each holiday from now until July. So not only will the magic happen, you’ll get to meet the Coopers quickly. I hope you get a chance to read my latest release, FINDING ABIGAIL! Thank you so much!!

Rina Brewer is one of Santa’s elves. Not the tiny cute little toy maker, but the sexy, petite, energy filled bombshell kind. She’s come to Holiday to aid Justin in his new role as Santa’s executive, but as soon as she sees the sexy ex-bad boy, she realizes the job may be more than she bargained for.

As they work together to make this Christmas one to remember, an old foe has come to town to make sure that his holiday is the coldest yet.

Warning: Contains a perky elf who dreams of something more, a Christmas myth who may be a baddie, and a sexy ex-bad boy who craves Christmas cookies…and a certain perky blonde.

Carrie Ann Ryan interview views Tyler & Abby from Finding Abigail

Carrie Ann: Hello Readers! I’m here today with two of my favorite people in the world so I can show them off. So, please welcome Tyler and Abby from Finding Abigail!

Tyler: Thank you for having us.

Abby: I’m so excited to be here.

Tyler: *rolls his eyes then kisses her temple* You’re always excited.

Abby: *laughs softly* Well yeah, especially after what just happened.

Carrie Ann: What just happened?

Abby: Uh, you wrote it, remember?

Carrie Ann: Oh shush, I was just trying to spoil it for the readers, but I guess I’ll just make the m read the book. Bwah ah ah ah.

Tyler: You are the devious one.

Carrie Ann: True. Okay, let’s get to some questions, shall we? Tyler, you want to explain to us why you let Abby walk around for years without you noticing her?

Tyler: *lets out a breath and pulls Abby close* Because I’m an idiot? A typical male? Because I’m not worthy of her?

Carrie Ann: *narrows eyes* That’s a good start. But I’m going to make sure Abby lets you wiggle a bit.

Abby: Oh, he wiggles. *grins*

Carrie Ann: *puts her hands over her ears* La la la la. Okay, enough of that. Now, Abby, are you really leaving Holiday? Or did you find something to make you stay?

Abby: It was never finding something to make me stay. It was finding something worth staying. And you’ll have to read and see.

Carrie Ann: You’re getting clever at this. Okay, fun questions. What’s your favorite type of candy?

Tyler & Abby: Candy Hearts!

Carrie Ann: Ew, I hate those things, but I guess that was an easy one. Hmmm….favorite position?

Abby: *blushes* I am so not telling you that.

Tyler: *grins* Oh, oh I could share some things. Remember that time in the kitchen, baby?

Abby: *covers ears* La la la la la

Carrie Ann: Oh my God, I love you two. Now, what readers might not know is that you Tyler are a cupid, what does that mean?

Tyler: That means I have a job to do other than my job as Sheriff. I have to make sure that people who could have something together get that chance.

Carrie Ann: Do you have to wear tights?

Abby: Only with me. *winks*

Carrie Ann: *laughs* Okay, I still love you both. I guess I should let y’all head out so you can do whatever it is you two do. And no, please, please, don’t give me details, we have enough of those in your book, Finding Abigail.

Hey readers, do you have any questions for me, Abby, or Tyler? We’d love to hear from you!

Warning: Contains one sexy sheriff who turns into cupid, complete with bow and arrow, the sweetest teacher you’ll ever meet who needs to find her bad girl side, and a love of candy hearts that’s sure to bring them together.

Excerpt:

How many skeins of yarn does a person need to collect before it became hoarding and not just there for a rainy day?

Abigail Clarke shook her head at her own question and started to throw various colors and textures of yarn into a canvas bag. Instead of trekking to her new place with them in tow, she’d just donate them to the Holiday Women’s Society since they knitted more than she did anyway. Dear Lord, she was twenty-two and a closet knitter. Even though she’d been living like an adult since she was fourteen, she was still a baby compared to most of her friends.

And, she was still a closet knitter.

Okay, not so much in the closet since the whole town thought she only knitted, baked, and cleaned her little house. God forbid they imagine her with a life of her own where she got to at least have some semblance of fun.

So, what if they were partially correct?

He has always known his fate of becoming a cupid, striking love into the hearts others, but an enemy from his past is set on keeping him from finding his own destiny—and love.

Abigail Clarke is leaving Holiday for good. She has to. After years of trying to fit in and make Tyler notice her, she’s giving up. She’s watched her friends fall in love and it’s heartbreaking. Acknowledging that the one man she’s always loved doesn’t want her, it’s time to move on and find her own future.

Warning: Contains one sexy sheriff who turns into cupid, complete with bow and arrow, the sweetest teacher you’ll ever meet who needs to find her bad girl side, and a love of candy hearts that’s sure to bring them together.

REVIEW:
Finding Abigail has to be my favorite book so far in the Holiday Montana Series (well we haven’t got to Jackson’s book yet, but so far out of the three this is my favorite). I really like Tyler. He is all stuffy and hates love. Blah, blah, blah Poor guy. Love is about to become his new job.
Abby can’t take anymore. The darn small town of Holiday is closing in on her. But when she goes to say goodbye to the one and only man she has ever loved something very strange happens.
But will it be enough?
If you have read the Holiday Montana Series to date you know all about Tyler and Abby. But in Finding Abigail you will get to see a side to both of them we didn’t know about. And we find out why and what has been keeping them apart for so long.

I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. This review is my own opinion and not a paid review.

Blurred Expectations

Amazon |  B&N |  ARe |  Kobo 

Blurb:

Hannah Jamenson has babies on the brain. It seems that her sisters-in-law are expanding their family in the blink of an eye, but Hannah  feels left behind. Every time that little test reads negative a little part of her dies and she feels like her Healing powers are failing her. Her mates, Josh and Reed, are doing everything they can to help her deal with their trials and losses, but they too feel like there is nothing they can do.

Just when the lines of what they mean to each other go out of focus, an enemy from Josh’s past is back to prove the things that go bump in the night are real and everything they had held dear is now in jeopardy. In order to fight back and find their way, they’ll need to put everything on the line before they lose it all.

Author’s Note: This is a novella set between books 4 and 5 to give you a taste of Reed, Josh, and Hannah. It is best that you have already immersed yourselves in the Redwood Pack world, however even new readers will enjoy a glimpse of the Redwood’s favorite triad.
