Red-Haired Ash Reads

Friend or Foe: 

This story takes place two years after Ty and Lana mate. They are visiting Lana’s family in Massachusetts. While there Ty has to deal with posturing males, adoring kids, and an unusual shifter. 

This was a nice little addition to Ty and Lana’s story. It shows how strong their relationship has gotten and that they are making plans to expand their family for the future. While I enjoyed this story, all I can think about is the reveal of sasquatch shifters. Now I really want to know more about them. 

Strangers in the Night: 

This story takes place about 3.5 years after Ty and Lana have mated. Lana is pregnant and Ty is becoming extremely protective of her. When Lana refuses to slow down on work, Ty takes her away to the cabin for a few days to give her a break. Their break is interrupted by javelina shifters though. 

Like the previous stories, this was short and gives us another glimpse of Ty and Lana’s life as alphas of the Twin Moon pack. They are really busy but they make time for themselves. I like seeing the progression of their relationship in these stories, especially since we don’t get to see a lot of that relationship building in the first book. Also I think one of the things I like most about these shorts is all the different paranormals that are being introduced. 

Chance Encounters: 

In this story, Lana is getting her first girls night out after having their baby. While Ty gets to spend quality time with baby Tana, Lana is out with Rae dealing with cougar shifters. Like the previous stories, this was short and sweet. I am surprised though that Ty lets Audrey act the way she does towards the mated males when he is the alpha. 

TW: fertility issues and miscarriages discussed;

A Very Close Shave: 

This story takes place about two years after the previous one and Tana is now two. Ty and Lana are getting a little break to fulfill one of the fantasies that Ty has had for a while now. Unfortunately, Cody decides to interrupt them with questions about mating and love. 

This gives a brief glimpse of what a future book with Cody will be dealing with. I liked this brief story for its foreshadowing and because we finally get to see Ty have that fantasy that keeps popping up in these shorts.
