Anna Lowe
118 books496 followersUSA 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.

“There’s more than meets the eye on Twin Moon Ranch, home to a pack of shapeshifting wolves willing to battle for life and love.” – The Wolves of Twin Moon Ranch Series
The Wolves of Twin Moon Ranch is well worth purchasing and reading especially if you enjoy wolf shifters. The author does a great job giving us something new and different to enjoy as well as pulling us deeply into the lives of the characters she has created. I highly recommend this series and you can’t go wrong with the box set.
Desert Moon - 4.5 Stars
ALowe is an awesome writer. I was pulled into the characters, plot, and world from the first to the last page. I could not put Desert Moon down. The emotions are so real and the world is unique. I also like how the shifters are portrayed. We are also given a great conflict on more then one front with the feud and rouges. Ty and Lana are a perfect couple. They complemented each other and when they connected the sex was passionate and sensual. Desert Moon was fantastic, the storyline was gripping, and the characters are captivating. I am riveted and blown away.
Desert Blood - 5 Stars
I LOVED return to the Twin Moon Ranch pack. I was blown away and sucked in from beginning to end. I like how ALowe brings her characters together. She has a way of getting the reader hooked into the emotional journey the characters take. Cody and Heather complemented each other perfectly and the way their relationship develops was fabulously done. The story flows, with a rich sense of scenery and world building. Desert Blood is an Amazing and Fabulous read.
Desert Fate - 4.5 Stars
Desert Fate blew me away. I was captivated by ALowe’s characters and the writing. Stefanie and Kyle complemented each other completely and I loved how their relationship grew and changed from friends to mates. I felt for Stef and her situation. Nothing was in her control and Kyle is the only thing that was keeping her grounded, but she does not fully understand yet why. I also felt for Kyle. His frustrations, his fears, and hope that maybe Stef is that one and just maybe they can belong and make a home. The plot was small, but significant enough to add tension for everyone and also shows us that not all packs are good. Desert Fate was such an amazing read. I was captivated with the emotional journey that Kyle and Stef go through and how they finally found a place to call home.
Bonus Scenes: SPRING HOLLOW - Takes place midway through the epilogue of Desert Moon. Ty & Lana are a sweet couple. I love visiting them. Here we get to see a private moment, just a little down time between these two away from the pack, so they can unwind. It's sweet and short. Just another wonderful moment in their lives giving the read more to enjoy. A DESERT VALENTINE - Takes place just after Desert Fate. We get to see Kyle and Tina. It's sweet, short and adorable. What Kyle does for his Valentine gift was perfect. This short reminds us to slow down and enjoy our time and those we love. We also get a glimpse of Tina and how lonely she is; before her story in Desert Heart. HOT-BLOODED DESERT NIGHTS - This short takes place during Cody and Heather's novel Desert Blood. It's a sweet moment between these too and just adds to their story.
Fans and new readers will enjoy these adorable bonus scenes. They are a sweet little edition into a magical world of sexy cowboy wolf shifters and the women who capture their hearts.

Book one of Twin Moon Pack by Anna Lowe
Ty is Alpha but not Alpha of the pack. His very unhappy father is and is making decisions for Pack and his family without talking to them.
Lana is visiting twin moon pack but something about the enticing smell is familiar.
Ty has tried to find the scent that has turned him off all commitment with women but he’s gone through all the women in Pack and town but after years of nothing he gives up.
Lana has been restless since visiting a neighbouring pack and it isn’t till she meet Ty and realise they are mates but because she from a rival pack Ty dad won’t ok the mating.
I did really enjoy this book but I started in ebook then finished with audiobook which I enjoyed more.
It can be slow at times but Tyson the pack leader and Ty dad did become very annoying with how he controlled every and oppressed people in Pack.
Book two Twin Moon Pack by Anna Lowe
Heather is a human teacher that knows nothing about shifters until she goes out with her girlfriends and meets her friends boyfriend and she knows something weird about him she is later attacked by a shifter.
Cody is the laidback funny chatty pack member but underneath everything he’s very lonely and getting pressure from pack alpha to settle down and make ties with other packs to make from connections.
I really like that heather is human and a lot is very new but the overall attraction to each other is incredibly high and neither can resist each other.
I really enjoyed the audiobook and how Kelsey Osborne did different expression and accents for each character.
Tyson the pack leader did improve a little but then became a even bigger dick when he brought a female from another pack to have a arrange marriage to connect the two packs and to make sure Cody doesn’t mate a human. Thankfully he redeems himself.
Loving that this book is in a bundle and I can listen to all three books together.
Book three in Twin Moon Pack by Anna Lowe
Kyle is a loner in the twin moon pack that was turned by a rogue shifter. He lives in a house the furthest away from pack and barley socialises with members.
Stefanie ‘Stef’ is a human that live on military family that moved around a lot and at one time leave on same base as Kyle both had horrible family life that was abusive.
Stefanie is attack by a rogue shifter and then hunted her after she escapes.
She travels but the stars slowly direct her to twin moon pack where Kyle finds her in a bush slowly dying from heat and dehydration.
They both realised there old military brats that were childhood friends.
This is my favourite in series especially with old alpha stands down and let Ty take over but also he softens when the pack has babies introduced to family.
Really loved the audiobook and definitely recommend

I received a copy from the author with no obligation.
A box set full of romance, adventure and suspense with a healthy dose of destiny, and bonus scenes that leave you more than satisfied.
This box set is about a pack of wolves that stand and fight for and with each other no matter what.
The women are strong, independant and fierce. They show that women too can fight for who or what they love. These women have staunch wills to stand beside their men, not behind.
We meet Ty, Cody and Kyle in this box set and almost instantly fall in love with them. Strong, silent and sexy with bravery, courage and tenderness that leaves us wanting a shifter of our own.
Vivid, realistic and panoramic descriptions that transport you into the scenes. Writing that continues to amaze me with plots that always captivate. Female characters that are relatable and not simple wilting flowers, and Alpha males that are dominant, yet tender and compassionate; every woman's dream.
Intriguing and spellbinding: everything you could wish for in a series!

Enjoyable Collection!
Desert Moon
I actually started this series backwards a bit. I started with the Blue Moon Saloon series which I love.
I have to admit it took a little bit to get into this story because I didn’t like Ty at first and had a little trouble connecting with Lana. I respected how she was willing to travel to help her grandmother move across the country. I got tired of hearing her thoughts about how horrible alphas were for relationships. As the story progressed, my mind changed and I loved Lana’s spunk and strength. She was definitely not a wilting flower, but a fighter. Ty’s behavior became more understandable as the story went along so I liked him a bit more. Still, I never totally connected with his character.
I loved Nan and Jean! Those two old gals were a hoot! Their “morning after” conversation was hilarious.
In some ways, the story is a typical love story. You have the matchmaking relatives, the unapproving authority figure, and the typical shifter bad guys. What makes the story not so typical is that Ms. Lowe’s ability to weave those components together in a totally enjoyable way. My only complaint would be that the story was too short so some aspects felt a little incomplete like the confrontation between Ty and his father.
Desert Blood
I really enjoyed this sequel and the two main characters in this story. I loved Cody from the first book and Heather was easy to like as well. I loved Cody’s easy-going personality compared to Ty’s. I also understood why he choose to be the comedian. I disliked how negatively Ty and his father judged him. As for Heather, I absolutely loved her spirit and willingness to fight for herself. No wilting flower here. Her innate understanding of Cody was wonderful. I like how fiercely she was willing to defend him when needed.
The kids were great for the humorous aspect of the story. It was easy to fall in love with them especially the class clown, Timmy. He’s a little charmer. I was glad that Heather took a special interest in him.
Ms. Lowe did an excellent job of weaving the love story with humor, mystery and suspense. I appreciated that the characters in this story didn’t have quite as much internal dialogue as the first story. That helped the story actually flow better. I can’t wait to read the next one.
Desert Fate
The series gets better with each story.
While Cody is still my favorite hero, Kyle is definitely nipping at his heels. Pun intended. Stefanie, his love interest, was an easy character to connect with and I loved how she refused to back down. Her childhood connection with Kyle simply made their being mates a no brainer for me.
I loved the ending of the book and how they got the old bull…err, I mean alpha out of Arizona. Best part of the book, imo
Disclosure: I received a free copy of the audible version of the book.

In some ways, the story is a typical love story. You have the matchmaking relatives, the unapproving authority figure, and the typical shifter bad guys. What makes the story not so typical is that Ms. Lowe’s ability to weave those components together in a totally enjoyable way. My only complaint would be that the story was too short so some aspects felt a little incomplete like the confrontation between Ty and his father.
Desert Blood
I really enjoyed this sequel and the two main characters in this story. I loved Cody from the first book and Heather was easy to like as well. I loved Cody’s easy-going personality compared to Ty’s. I also understood why he choose to be the comedian. I disliked how negatively Ty and his father judged him. As for Heather, I absolutely loved her spirit and willingness to fight for herself. No wilting flower here. Her innate understanding of Cody was wonderful. I like how fiercely she was willing to defend him when needed.
The kids were great for the humorous aspect of the story. It was easy to fall in love with them especially the class clown, Timmy. He’s a little charmer. I was glad that Heather took a special interest in him.
Ms. Lowe did an excellent job of weaving the love story with humor, mystery and suspense. I appreciated that the characters in this story didn’t have quite as much internal dialogue as the first story. That helped the story actually flow better. I can’t wait to read the next one.
Desert Fate
The series gets better with each story.
While Cody is still my favorite hero, Kyle is definitely nipping at his heels. Pun intended. Stefanie, his love interest, was an easy character to connect with and I loved how she refused to back down. Her childhood connection with Kyle simply made their being mates a no brainer for me.
I loved the ending of the book and how they got the old bull…err, I mean alpha out of Arizona. Best part of the book, imo
Disclosure: I received a free copy of the audible version of the book.

Desert Moon
When fate decides who you will spend you life loving, you just can't say no, even if it takes a dozen years or so before you finally find the one you've been looking for after scenting them. When she was younger, Lana visited Twin Moon Ranch with her Nan, only to come across the smell of who she thought was the most wonderful smelling person, and her wolf agreed. But, she never did find him. All those years ago, Ty was away on a mission with his father, only to come home to the ranch and smell his fated mate. But she was nowhere to be found. Now, Lana is back to help Nan settle in with her friend Jean, then she plans to head back to the east coast. But her wolf has other plans as soon as she scents her mate. Only one problem...Ty is stuck on the smell of a memory, and hasn't figured out yet that Lana is the one. With so much going on at the ranch, and his father, the alpha of the pack, away on business, will they ever manage to finally accept that they are meant to be together? Will the interference from other jealous pack members keep them apart? Because we all know, when you're alpha in waiting and the best looking many in hundreds of miles, what woman doesn't want you? Are you ready for an adventure? I hope so, because this book is one adventure after another, never a dull moment and extremely hard to put down once you start reading. Loved this book and looking forward to the next in the series.
Spring Hollow – bonus scene to Desert Moon
Wow! I loved reading Desert Moon, and having this bonus chapter just puts the book a whole other level. Ty and Lana have already had to clear so many hurdles to get to where they belong, and this is like the icing on the top of the cake to see them so blissful in their relationship. The need for each other is definitely clear, as is their love and devotion to each other. I’m sure Anna could go on forever with her characters with her talent, and I for one, wouldn’t mind it at all. I absolutely love her style and simply can’t get enough of her Desert Moon habitants.
Desert Blood
Another awesome tale in the Wolves of Twin Moon Ranch series. This time around, we are captured by Cody, the Don Juan of the ranch. When on the run Heather finally decides that she has gotten to a place that feels right, like coming home, she stops. She knows it will only be temporary, because she's not sure just how long her luck will hold up, and how long she will be safe here, but something tells her that this is the place to be...for now. She finds a house to rent, and a job as a teacher, filling in for Janice, who has left on a leave to take care of a family member. Little did she know, she also found peace. And lets not forget...Cody. She knows that there is something between them, but she can't put her finger on it. And she's not sure if she can trust him, because past experience has left her burnt so many times, she has learned to not trust anyone. Cody, the forever flirt, feels like he's been hit over the head with a two tonne brick. The moment he sees and scents Heather, he knows she's his fated mate. The only problem is...she's human. But, both of them have secrets, and truly don't know how to tell the other, because let's face it, who would ever believe them? And let's not forget the Alpha, Cody's father, who rules the pack with an iron fist, and the old rules simply state...no mating with humans. Will they manage to forge a life together? Will Heather even be able to survive if they find her? Will she have to pick up and run again...soon? This book is a standalone, and can be enjoyed as such, but is much better when read in order of the series, if for nothing else but to have the background of the pack. Can't wait to read Kyle's and Tina's stories. Once again, Anna has given us a wonderfully written tale that is easy to follow and even easier to fall in love with.
Hot Blooded Desert Nights - Bonus scene to Desert Blood
HOT! HOT! HOT! If the rest of the story was half as hot as this part, and we all know it was at least as hot, we could burn down many buildings. Cody and Heather are still in the throes of discovery during this intense scene, not quite sure if they should trust each other with their secrets, but knowing that their need for each other is so overwhelming that they have no choice but to follow Fate's path set out for them. As usual, Anna Lowe has given us an intense bonus that leaves you panting and drooling for more, so much more! Absolutely beautiful.
Desert Fate
OMG! This is a story that really packs a punch! The third book in the Wolves of Twin Moon Ranch series, the author gives us Kyle, a human cop turned shifter by a rogue wolf. He's been living on the outskirts of the ranch for the past five years, and still not sure of his place in the pack. He is the pack's "inside informer" for any information they need regarding suspicious activity outside the pack's boundaries, as he is still employed as a state trooper. Kyle is a dark, brooding character who just doesn't feel like he fits anywhere, and not just with the pack. An "army brat" as a child, with an abusive step father, he never found stability, being forced to move too often to find roots anywhere. There was only one person from his youth that truly understood him, and she was also from an army family, moving every year or so. Stephanie knew him better than anyone else, but that was so many years ago, and they were only kids. So imagine his surprise when he stumbles upon a woman in the desert, and not just any woman, but Steph, and she's a changeling...just like him. Now is his chance to possibly repay her for all of her understanding way back when. He knows what she's going through, knows how she feels, and knows what she will need to do. Only problem is, his wolf doesn't only want to protect her...he wants to claim her for his own. With another pack vying for her, being the one that changed her, against her will and knowledge, time is definitely not on their side.
With lots of action, a bit of suspense, tons of tension and some heavy panting, oh! and don't forget the hot, steamy sex, this book will have you struggling to come up for some air on more than one occasion. A great addition to the series, and a must read in my opinion, you won't want to miss this one. Looking forward to reading Tina's tale next. Loved this book and love the series. Anna Lowe, you have done an outstanding job!
A Desert Valentine - Bonus scene for Desert Fate
What a way to top off what I think is an awesome book to begin with. If you have read Desert Fate, then you won’t want to miss this short epilogue. If you haven’t read it already, What are You Waiting For? You are missing out on some of the best shifter stories out there, and this one is like the cherry on the top of the ice cream sundae.
It was so nice to get a glimpse of Kyle and Steph once again, as they progress with their relationship together as mates. Having the story set on such a romantic holiday was like the cream in a kitten’s bowl. It also reminds us that you don’t have to spend a fortune on inornate objects to show the one you love just how much you cherish them. Sometimes it’s the simple things that make the difference. Absolutely love this! Missing the Twin Moon Ranch gang and this is an awesome way to re-connect.
I received an ARC of this set in exchange for my honest review.

I have the individual audiobooks which I have listened to those also, but in this boxset you get bonus scenes for each book. And because I'm greedy I had to have extras, honestly the more the better. Lana and Ty in book one are perfectly matched, her been feisty and strong minded, him been serious and cautious. Then there's Cody and Heather in book two, she's a more timid character at first, having been through so much. Cody is laid back and usually flirty until Heather comes along, and he's also my favourite. In book 3 it's Kyle and Steph, she's easy going and resilient, he's standoffish and protective in contrast to her. All 3 books are exciting and the storyline in each is well developed but ties in with each other in some form, introducing a variety of side characters that are all very interesting and fun. Life is definitely quite the rollercoaster on twin moon ranch, with many things to love throughout the books. Without saying too much, one of my favourite parts takes place in the schoolhouse. For any shifter fan who enjoys steamy romance, this is a fantastic series to listen to or read, depending on your preference of reading format. I've never been disappointed with any of Anna Lowes books so far, and could listen to every single one again.

MCs are as prickly as the cacti surrounding them
I really enjoyed the stories and the MCs in all the stories, but they were all as prickly as the desert landscape. Sometimes, I just wanted to shake them and tell them to get their heads on straight and take what was being given freely as a gift. But no, they had to do everything the hard way (palms forehead). A pricklier bunch I’ve never met.
I love stories with Arizona and the desert as the setting. My years there were some of the best in my life. It brings back lots of good memories. The stories are well written, molding well to the genre. They are also well edited with only a few minor grammatical errors. If you’re a fan of shifters and romance, then these books could be just the ones to top your TBR pile. Warning: explicit sex.

I read these stories almost a year ago and to my surprise, was just able to get the box set and re-read them. What a joy!
Book 1: Desert Moon
Book 2: Desert Blood
Book 3: Desert Fate
Get to know these shifters in the Arizona Desert. Anna Lowe will weave her magic with perfectly flawed characters, strong personalities, drama, adventure, love, hate and passion. I spent hours just slipping away and immersing myself in her creation.

This set is fantastic! It has three full paranormal romance novels and a short story at the end of each of the H/h. I can say hands down each book was perfect. Of course I have a favorite (book 1) but each were different and had everything I could want in a paranormal romance. I have enjoyed other series by this author and I am happy to say she did a fantastic job with this series as well. I really hope there are more to come! The narrator was excellent with a great voice.

Great romantic tales for three wolves of the Twin Moon Pack. Grumpy soon to be named Alpha, Ty and Lana who were fated mates who didn’t physically meet till years later. Second son Cody the peacemaker finds a human mate Heather, much against the wishes of his father the Alpha. Lawman Kyle finds a hurt changeling Stefanie in the desert. Each woman fights for her right to choose then wins the mate fate chose for her. Hot chemistry and feisty females.

Great series
Once Upon a Desert Moon is a great beginning to Twin Moon Ranch series, and the bonus scenes at the end of each book really add to the stories. The touch of mystery and danger in these storylines are an exciting addition to this series and they are great books. I would recommend this series to any adult reader that enjoys sexy shifter romances with a touch of mystery and danger added.

You Gotta Read This
This is the beginning the story of the Twin Moons Ranch. It is the first 3 books that tell the love story of the Ty, the alpha heir, and his Lana, Cody, his younger brother, and his Heather and lastly Kyle, their friend and Steph, his childhood friend. All three stories tell of love, getting through trying times and coming out on top. All 3 are well worth the read and I can't wait to read more about the Twin Moons Ranch.

Wow! I am a serious lover of shifter books, but these are that and so much more! So much emotion and turmoil in all three of these books in this volume and yet we find beautiful endings to each one. I loved that we got bonus chapters after each book as well. This is a definite listen for anyone who wants to listen to a great collection of books with shifters.
September 22, 2017
Great value for money with bonus stories thrown in.
A very enjoyable read though I do not like some of the archaic laws of the pack.
01 - DESERT MOON
12 years have passed since Lana first visited the ranch with her grandmother. When she was there she kept scenting the most amazing smell but could not pin it down. She thought she had found her mate but no luck.
Ty has been pining for his mate ever since he came home from a trip and smelt her scent on the ranch. He has never been sure if it was a figment of his imagination and was under a lot of stress as the Alpha heir. His father had already tried to force an arranged mating and was giving Ty hassle.
When Lana arrives with her grandmother for a visit again she knows Ty is her mate but he ignores her and fights against his wolf as Lana is a Dixon, his father’s enemy.
When Lana is put into danger by a pack member will Ty see sense and claim his mate, even if she is a Dixon?
Trouble is brewing in the background for the pack.
01.5 - SPRING HOLLOW
Ty takes Lana for a drive to get away from the pressure that is his father refusing Lana’s presence on the ranch. On the way to Spring Hollow Lana gets to re-enact their first meeting when Ty picked Lana and her Nan up from the airport.
It is at Spring Hollow while Lana and Ty play in the water that Lana hears the hoot of the endangered Mexican Spotted Owl that will save Spring Hollow and sort out the land issues.
02 - DESERT BLOOD
What a great read. Loved this couple.
It was great to see Cody coming of age in this book, he needed his story told and Heather was the perfect woman for him.
Cody is Ty’s younger brother and has been ignored by his father as he was not the heir.
He spent his time doing little work and womanising a lot. He decides to change his life for himself and then Heather arrives. A human who is off limits, yeah, tell that to his wolf.
He is also helping the law track what is happening when bodies start turning up drained of blood. When he pieces it together that Heather is the target all bets are off.
Heather is running from the evil that killed her friend but cannot tell anyone because they would think she was crazy. She takes on the temporary teaching post at the ranch which gives her time to breath and think through what she will do next.
Heather is drawn to Cody but keeps hearing about his womanising and seeing him with different women all over the place, usually innocently. As she spends time with him she sees the man he wants to be.
She has enough on her plate as it is without dealing with him.
Fate has other ideas and when the vampires catch up with Heather, Cody will do whatever it takes to keep her safe. Even defy his father. Unfortunately to save Heather he has to bring forth his wolf which pushes Heather to run away as her mind is on overload. Vampires, now wolf shifters. Just too much to cope with.
What happens when Heather returns to the ranch?
A lovely enjoyable read. I just wish we could get rid of that horrible father.
02.5 - HOT BLOODED DESERT NIGHTS
This is set at the time when Cody wants to tell Heather he is a wolf shifter but pack law states he cannot mate a human. How difficult things were for Cody and his wolf not being able to claim their human mate. And poor Heather not being able to ask for help as she thinks no one would believe her tale about vampires being real. Who believes in vampires, right!
Luckily they had each other, even if it was early days for them.
03 - DESERT FATE
Wow, had to read to the end to see what happened.
Loner Kyle has his mate handed to him by fate and an unscrupulous wolf from another pack.
Stefanie was just doing her job when she was bitten by a wolf trying to mate her.
Kyle and Stefanie knew and supported each other as children so it was wonderful fate bought them together again to be mates. Unfortunately, they both have baggage and rotten wolves to deal with along the way to their HEA.
We find out so much more about Kyles history and it was lovely to see them both grow stronger together.
I do hate the archaic laws these wolves live by.
Kyle has to fight to save Stefanie from being given to the other horrible pack. He really is a hero as he lets Stefanie go rather than claim her when she is not ready.
Stefanie had every reason to be so unbalanced, that pulling that was going on by Ron was horrible, understandable that she did have a meltdown and took off in Kyles truck leaving him to fight for her alone, but he would rather she was free and away from him than with Ron and Greer.
Stefanie’s wolf talked some sense into her and made her realise Kyle was their mate and needed them.
The dialogue going on with both of their wolves was fantastic, so good. You can just imagine them thinking slow, idiot, human half is not seeing what is right there.
I think her wolf really helped Stefanie find her way and I loved that she headed back to fight alongside Kyle against Greer and Ron, no matter the outcome or odds.
Fantastic news that Tyrone leaves Twin Moon ranch to take over the North Ridge pack in Colorado.
03.5 - A DESERT VALENTINE
It was lovely to spend time with Kyle and Stefanie. Poor Kyle stressing over valentines’ day but he comes up with the perfect idea.
A very enjoyable read though I do not like some of the archaic laws of the pack.

Wolf shifters and true mates
Each book has a couple that have major hurdles to overcome to find their HEA. The plots are great with such good characters that you keep turning the page to see where the plot leads you. I highly recommend this book series.

Another great box set. This one gathers the first three books of the Wolves of Twin Moon Ranch along with the bonus scenes normally found on Ms. Lowes’ website. What a treat to read from one to another easily.

Desert Moon - Book One
This book is a great start to a new series. We meet Ty and Lana, shifters who each scented their mate years ago, yet never actually met. Unknowingly, they're about to get their second chance. Of course, things can't be easy for them. I love that Lana is a strong woman as Ty needs that in a mate. Ty, an alpha, has a lot of responsibility weighing on him and Lana balances that out for him. I'm looking forward to more of the series and seeing what the future holds for this pack.
Spring Hollow - Bonus Scene
In Desert Moon, there's mention of Spring Hollow and what will become of it. This bonus scene gives us a more in depth look of the situation and the determination Lana has to save it as it is, leaving it a private and peaceful escape for those that are aware of it.
However, at this point in time, it's a little getaway for Ty and Lana as we see how heavy the mantle of responsibility lays on Ty and how Lana is able to get through to him and help him relax, to just be Ty, not the future alpha. It's time together that they both need, away from everything besides the love they have for one another, a bond that no one can break.
Desert Blood - Book Two
This book in the series focuses on Cody, Ty's younger brother. In the first book we saw the "character" that Cody put on for everyone, so they (mostly his Dad, the alpha) didn't expect too much. Unfortunately, that has backfired because Cody is tired of playing a part. Heather, the new temporary teacher on the ranch, sees the true Cody. Heather is running for her life, yet feels the same pull towards Cody, that he feels towards her. I loved seeing the real Cody, seeing him discover what finding a mate is all about. But, will Cody be able to keep his mate? She's human, he's not. Their mating is forbidden for the Alpha's son.
Hot Blooded Desert Nights - Bonus Scene
When you're living your life always looking over your shoulder, sometimes, when you have the chance, you need to take time for yourself, and if those times involve a sexy wolf shifter that you can't stop craving...
Heather has been running for a while, but has settled on the Twin Moon Ranch as a schoolteacher. She knows she can't stay much longer, yet she can't bring herself to leave...because of him.
Cody, a member of the ruling family, and his wolf, want a woman he can't have, but he just can't let her go...she's his mate.
What happens when they give in to the chemistry, the connection, between them? How can he mate a human, one that knows nothing of his kind, when it's against his Alpha, his father's, dictates? But how can he live without his mate? Can he go after what he wants for a change, fight for his mate, his happiness? Can Heather stay, knowing she's risking Cody being hurt by whoever is after her?
This story is a bonus scene of Cody and Heather and their journey that takes place prior to their complete story, Desert Blood, book two in The Wolves of Twin Moon Ranch series. I highly recommend the series and I readily admit I eagerly devour every story and book associated with it.
Desert Fate - Book Three
I love this series more and more with every new book. This book focuses on Kyle. While Kyle is part of the pack, he lives separately from them. He's a part of them, yet still has that loneliness about him that makes you want to hug him. Thankfully, that loneliness may not last much longer. Stefanie is literally running for her life, her freedom. She was bitten against her will by an evil man claiming to be her mate. She needs to learn what she is now and is struggling with it while on the run. Thank goodness for fate because it leads her to Kyle again. I love that they have a past friendship, but haven't seen each other in decades. But that friendship was important to them and they're able to pick that back up, as true friends can. Of course, that friendship is turning into so much more. But what of the man who has already started to claim Stefanie? Can Kyle do anything to stop that claim, ensuring their HEA? I loved this book and highly recommend it and the whole series.
A Desert Valentine - Bonus Scene
Since Kyle and Stef, friends during childhood, have been reunited, they've realized their love for each other and mated. They can't get enough of each other and fall more in love every day. But, there's one little thing weighing on Kyle's mind...he doesn't know what to get her for Valentine's Day. It isn't that Stef is hard to buy for because she's picky. He just wants to get her something perfect, something unique instead of the usual cliché presents. It needs to mean something as he wants to show her how much he loves her and their life together.
Will Kyle take the advice of his co-workers and go the usual route? Will he take a lesson from the other mates guys in the pack or are they being secretive with their plans? Will he figure out the perfect gift for Stef in time, so gift that will mean everything to her simply because it's from the man she loves?

Draws you in and keeps you guessing. A tale for all types of people. Each book makes you feel as if you're a part of Twin Moon Ranch.

Great read with loveable characters
The first three books in the series. The wolves of the Desert Moon Ranch find out that claiming a destined mate isn't always a smooth path.
