An Alphas choice. ( Talon Pack #2) by Carrie Ann Ryan ARC Review.

Brynn Brentwood has spent the whole of her life protecting the Talon Pack through terrors only she will ever know. She´s never asked for more in life than to live to take her next breath and ensure her family is safe. Regardless of her selfless wishes and the atrocities the former Alpha committed, she has always known that fate would provide for her as it had countless others. Fate is what has carried her through with one exception--upon meeting the one wolf who could be hers, he doesn´t feel their bond.

Finn Jamenson has been broken more than once, left beaten and half dead--and that was before he was an adult and Heir of the Redwood Pack. When called upon to work with their allies, the Talons, he finds himself intrigued with a woman who his wolf doesn´t claim as his own . Though he knows there could be something there, he refuses to tempt himself with a wolf who could never be his when his own mate could be waiting for him.

The world changed in a blink of time and now the two wolves must fight as one--ignoring the burning temptation between them--when their  people are threatened. With one wrong move , their homes could be destroyed and it´s up to Finn and Brynn to save them all...if only they could save themselves.

The world now knows that shifters  exist,  the Talon and Redwood packs are trying to show that the wolves are not monsters.  Brynn the Talon alpha's sister and Finn the Redwood alpha's heir are deliberately doing the things that humans do. Like meeting for coffee. The problem is there is a lot of tension between them.  Brynn in particular has a difficult time controlling her wolf around Finn.
There are some humans that are determined to cause as much trouble as possible.  When faced with aggression on the streets they must not allow their wolves out. But when the attacks start the rules need to change.
Both Finn and Brynn have had bad things happen in the past, which still affect them. Can they work together,  or will their wolves need to make some attitude adjustments first? 
As usual from this author,  once you pick this book up you won't put it down until it's finished.  There is so much going on all through it. A great fun,  sexy read.

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

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