WOO HOO!! I'm so excited it's time for another installment in the Redwood Pack series by Carrie Ann Ryan.
Book 3.5 in the Redwood Pack Series
A Night Away
Kade Jamenson has been mated to Melanie for almost two years. They’ve been through mating circles, battles, loss, misunderstandings, and finally, the birth of their son, Finn. The world is in turmoil around them as the Redwoods engage in war with the Centrals. But for Kade and Melanie, the turmoil is also happening at home. The responsibility of a restless baby and their Pack has taken a toll and they need a break.
Not from each other. But from their Pack. Just for a night.Kade takes Mel away for a romantic getaway and leaves Uncle Maddox alone with baby Finn. The Omega of the Redwood Pack may be adept at emotions but the idea of a baby may be beyond his immense capabilities.
Author’s Note: This is a novella set between books 3 and 4 to give you a taste of Mel and Kade. 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.
~Excerpt
Kade Jamenson closed his eyes and prayed for resolution. A piercing shriek startled him, making him jump to his feet.
Finn.
Finn. His eleven-month-old son, who wouldn’t stop screaming, no matter what they did. The kid always needed something, either to be fed, changed, held, burped, played with, or just stared at. It seemed never ending. Even now that he was older, he still screamed or babbled constantly.
Dear God. How the hell did humans do this? Kade had more endurance than any human, witch, and most werewolves out there. Yet a tiny fifteen-pound baby with big blue eyes took every ounce of strength he possessed. Not to mention sleep time.
Kade groaned and rolled his neck before he walked into his son’s room. He and Melanie had painted the room in a soft green to match the Jameson eyes and added cream borders to break it up. Dark wood furniture filled the room along with cream linens covered with frog princes and bumblebees. Stuffed animals of every sort covered the tops of most pieces of furniture, gifts from his Pack and family, who cherished Finn like their own son. He took another step in and realized he hadn’t been the first one to answer his son’s call.

There's not any major even I like to read about it post-HEA's. When it's a couple I grew attached to during their story I just like reading more about how their doing, what's going on, that kind of stuff.

i would like to read about their background before they met.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see some background information and what happens 5/10 years after the HEA. I also love to see cross stories in series.
ReplyDeleteI will be reading this series over the summer. I can't wait.

I love reading how they've grown as a couple... ups/downs, etc. and snippets of the couple pre-mating is often very interesting.

ReplyDeleteI agree with the other commenters reading about a couple who I really loved, I'd like to see how they are getting on :) or background from before they met so you see how they changed as they went on and they met :)

What I love to see in a post HEA book is a chance to catch up with a couple (or couples) I've previously read about (or might be meeting for the first time...) in a way that shows me some conflict that's a part of being a couple (because realistically, we all know that life isn't all hearts and roses once you ride off into the sunset), and then shows me that hey, you can get past that too, and there's an HEA even after that initial HEA... It's fun to see how they deal with having an extended family or merging friends and their lives or getting a peek at their pasts and how those intrude or affect their current situations...
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new story, Carrie Ann!

I'm not really sure what I'd want to see in a post HEA book, and I don't really think I've read any. If they're characters that I fell in love with then I'd like to see a little of how they're getting on with life, and maybe some drama, but not too much, and definitely nothing stupid like them separating, because that would cheapen the original story. Thanks!

DeleteI love to "catch up" on what the couple has been up to since they got their HEA or see them mentioned in another book so I really enjoy series or sequels.
