Great Series

I love stories that have romance and humor all rolled up in one. All her books display both. I’ll continue to read/listen to her books.

Blue Moon Saloon

All the stories in the Blue Moon Saloon series were enjoyable and the characters were fun to get to know. Each kind of quirky in their own way. It's great for fans of shifter romances!

Damnation
Second chances at happily ever after. With a past better left in the past, Jessica Macks finds herself faced with a past she rather forget, Simon Voss. A wolf and a bear will never work out.

Temptation
Love is blossoming but when it is with a human...Janna Macks is a wolf shifter who finds herself falling for sexy cowboy Cole Harper. But what happens when the unexpected occurs, Jenna wolf is crying out that Cole is her mate.

Redemption
The story of Soren Voss, burly alpha bear shifter, and Sarah Boone. Soren thought he lost Sarah forever, but when he finds her lost in his bar, she doesn't know what to think. Pregnant and on the run, Sarah is faced with confronting the love of her life, with one caveat...she has a secret of her own.

The voice character is good and the stories flow quite well together, even when you have to stop and start due to commuting. The characters come to life in each book. As always, it is nice to see the character from the other stories as well and find out how they too develop over time.

I voluntarily reviewed Blue Moon Saloon 3 Book Collection as a gifted copy from the author.

Love it

These are 3 independent books but they build on each other. If you enjoy paranormal romance that is steamy then this is the series for you.

Awesome series!

This review will be broken down by each of the three books in the series.

Damnation - Jessica and Simon’s Story
Jessica and Jannah were on the run from rogue shifters who killed their family. They end up at the Blue Moon Saloon where they find jobs and fit in quite nicely. Turns out Jessica has history with the bartender, Simon Voss as they were involved before the rogue shifter attacked their families. During their time apart, they stayed true to each other. Once they get together, they make such a cute couple and a can’t keep their hands or eyes off of each other. The rogue shifters try their nonsense again and Cole, who is human, gets scratched trying to defend Jannah. No one, except Cole, knows anything about it until the next book.

Temptation – Cole and Jannah’s Story
All it took was a single scratch from a rogue wolf to change Cole’s life forever. This book was suspenseful in that you didn’t know what would happen to him and Jannah. I was hoping Victor, the rogue wolf and his band of bandits who stands for purity, would get theirs. This is another book where humans could take a lesson. Cole did a great job fighting the rogues by himself (with some help from Jannah). The other supporting characters in both books were great!

I really enjoyed the segue to the next book. I can’t wait to find out how Soren handles the news of his mate’s condition.

Redemption - Soren and Sarah's Story
Soren and Sarah's story was unique in that Soren thought Sarah was killed, along with his family, in a vicious fire set by Victor and his band of rogues. Sarah, Soren's true love, returned after being on the run, with a secret. Usually it is the woman who has to deal with such things so I am glad that in the end, Soren had to deal with and accept it. Soren was able to put his pride behind him and admit to the love he has always had for Sarah. This book contains loaded with suspense fight scenes that leaves you rooting for Sarah the entire time as well as hoping that Soren will return in time to save her from the evil Victor and his band of rogues. As usual, Ms. Lowe delivered a really great book. It fits right in with the previous two books in this series. This book is no different in that I want to know what happens to these people/shifters long after the book is over.

I highly recommend this series! These books were so good that the time passed really fast! I was at the end of the series before I knew it.

Kelsey Osborne did a great job with the narration. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Romantic interactions between human and shifters.

Three stories that interweave together. Bear and Wolf shifters. Being chase and hunted by evil wolf shifters throught the story. Loved the narration too.

***Damnation***

"Great start to the series!"

Overall: 4 stars
Performance: 4 stars
Story: 4 stars

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, it's fun, flirty and even has a bar fight. I enjoyed the flow of the story and how the author filled in the backstory while telling the current story. I enjoyed the back and forth chatter between wolf and human. It showed while the two were one, that human and animal see the world differently.

What did you like best about this story?
I totally loved the humor which was sprinkled liberally throughout the story.I loved how the girls practically took over running the saloon. They're brainstorming session was freaking hilarious.

Which scene was your favorite?
I loved it when Simon realized Jessica was selling his muffins.

"Muffins? She was selling his muffins?
"Giving my muffins away, he nearly said"

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
I have no idea. Sorry.

Any additional comments?
My only turn off in the story is taking the Lord's name in vain. I have little problem with other swearing, but that always makes me wince and jars me out of the story. That said, the cursing is not over the top and fits the moments it's used.

While I enjoyed the narrator, Kelsey Osborne, I kind of wish she had a bit more definition in the male voices. That said, I'm looking forward to listing to the next one.

Loving this series!

Overall: 5 Stars
Performance: 4 Stars
Story: 5 Stars

Would you listen to Temptation: Reckless Desires again? Why?
Totally. It's a great story and my favorite of the series so far. I loved the interaction between the main characters and their wolves. Plus, there was lots of humor.

Who was your favorite character and why?
I am totally in love with Cole. He was so sweet and lovable. I loved how he dealt with the changes that were happening to him.

I also loved the wolves voices inside Janna and Cole's heads.

Which scene was your favorite?
Hmmm, it's hard to say that without spoiling the story. I loved the scene with the Cole, Janna, and the bull.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Totally...and I did just that last night.

Any additional comments?
I have to say the narrator, Kelsey Osborne, impressed me much more with this book. The male voices were much better this time.

Soren and Sarah

I think this is my favorite couple in in the series so far. I love how they slowly made their way back to each other. While both had valid reasons for their hurt and anger, they didn't wallow in it. They were very pragmatic about the situation they found themselves in.

Something I really loved was that there wasn't a silly misunderstanding that had kept them separated from one another. The issues were valid and appeared insurmountable. Too many stories use that cliched and overused trope, imo.

The story was well-composed which is the norm for Ms. Lowe's books. I've never been disappointed with her stories. Her characters are imperfect, but improve throughout the story. The stories are do follow a typical pattern so the reader does know what to expect in the general sense. For myself, this is truly part of the charm. She definitely does *not* let it get stale/boring. I can trust she's going to tell me a fantastic story that I'm going to love.

The narrator, Ms. Osborne, did a fantastic job of reading/acting out the story. She's really grown as a narrator.

I'm looking forward to the next book.

Disclosure: I received a free copy of the audiobook. I also purchased the Kindle version.

Blue Moon Saloon: Three-Book Collection

A truly enjoyable paranormal shifter romance series. This set has the first three stories and each one was great. Each story stands on its own, but the books all build on a common overarching storyline.

Anna Lowe has built up a great clan. I sure hope we get to hear more of their stories. Having Kelsey Osbourne continue as the narrator would be fantastic.

Each Couple has a Good Story to Tell

All three books are about couples that live at the Blue Moon Saloon. Each story speaks about the obstacle that prevents the couples from their calling as mates. Each story is action-packed and heart-wrenching. The Narrator is good at separating the characters and draws you into the story. Each woman is unique in her situation and personality, and the two brothers are typical hero types. Our third male has a cowboy attitude with veteran PTSD, but finds peace in the arms of his mate. I enjoyed each story and felt the tensity of the action.

Second Chances abounds!

This series is full of second chances at love. Each one easily stands alone but still flows from one to another.
The narrator has a bright, cheerful voice that is easy to listen to.
