Anna and Her Bear

Ms. Lowe created a great addition to the Blue Moon Saloon series and I can't wait for the next book! We get some answers from the previous book. Anna was looking for her cousin, Sarah, and met a severely wounded Todd. There was an almost immediate attraction with him and Anna when they first met, even though he was in bear form and Anna did not know he was a shifter. Todd was on death’s door and Anna stayed with him. Todd knew that Anna was his mate. They both end up in Blue Moon and end up sharing a room. Todd was related to Soren. It was a very happy reunion for Anna and Sarah but even though Soren knew Todd was his son, little Teddy’s biological father, he still welcomed him. Anna and Todd were very getting close. I felt so sorry for her when she found out the truth about little Teddy and I also felt sorry for Todd not being able to raise his own baby but I think he did the right thing by letting Sarah and Soren keep and raise him. I think in Todd’s mind, there was no question this would be the case. There were some very, very emotional moments in this book.

When Anna found out about Todd fathering the baby, she ran. In her desire to get away, she was tricked into thinking she was needed to assist one of the Voss mates and she wasn't even there in the forest in which Anna was drawn. The “purity now” villains forced another woman to call out to Anna. Anna was surrounded by 6 or 7 of the wolves who want race purity (wolves with wolves, bears with bears, etc.). There were some great suspense scenes where I was on the edge of my seat hoping that Anna got help in time. Awesome fight scene in which Anna did her best to defend herself and her rescuer!

The ending was so sweet and I hope Anna and Todd grow old together and enjoy their happily ever after.

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

Another fabulous installment in the series!

I am thoroughly enjoying this series. I really enjoyed the two main characters, Anna and Todd. The way they were drawn together from the beginning to when they actually "met" for lack of a better term. Definitely worth a read!

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

Never Give Up

I love Anna Lowes stories. Salvation is about not giving up even when everyone tells you too. Anna Boone is a strong woman but is she strong enough to help a physically and emotionally scarred Todd to realize he is good enough.

This story is well written and even though it is part of a series, there is enough background information in the story so it can be read as a standalone. This series is good and I'd recommend reading/listening to the entire series.

I love Todd

Spoilers***I love that Todd didn’t give up and die. His story was well written. I just knew in the end he would gain his hearing, but he didn’t and he learns to live with it.

Awesome series! Sweet romance, so entertaining!

Osborne always gives a clear, solid performance. Her voice has a nice cadence to it and a nice tone. I’d recommend the audio.

Love Anna Lowe's writing! I'm always excited when I read one of her books! Before reading this book, make sure to read the previous books! Mainly the book right before this one because it features a storyline that continues into this book, so definitely check that one out first! This book is Anna and Todd's story. Anna, who is the cousin of Sarah from the previous book, and has always felt like her cousin is alive despite what those around her think, so she sets out in search of her cousin, but she finds out a whole lot more than she ever expected. Todd, a bear shifter, who is the cousin of Soren from the previous book, hasn't been having a very easy life lately. He was severely injured during an attack, and when Destiny leads him to Soren and Sarah's doorstep, he finds out some surprising things that further complicate his life, but when he sees Anna, things start looking up for him, but he doesn't feel worthy of her, and there is a lot that Anna doesn't know. Todd and Anna are really sweet with each other, and I love how sure Anna is in how she feels about Todd. Some hot moments between the two! There's still the possible danger of the "Pure" group hunting down the shifters that mix with human and other types of shifters to add suspense and action to the story, which is always entertaining and fun to read. There's also some personal drama between Todd and Soren and Sarah, which isn't my favorite storyline, but is still an interesting one. I felt bad for Anna at times, and I was really hoping something would work out for her a little differently, and come to think of it, for Todd too, but in the end, I was okay with how it turned out. This is a heartfelt, hopeful story! Looking forward to the next book!

Great story of love and loss

I previously read the ebook and have copied over my review as it said it all. I love Anna's narrator, Kelsey is great.

Todd is a bear shifter that has lived through some pretty bad stuff. While trying to protect his cousin's mate he is beaten and burned. He has almost totally lost his hearing and has one hand that doesn't work like it should due to being crushed. He was found in his bear form and would have died if not for the beautiful voice that whispered things to him as he lay in pain. He doesn't understand why he could hear this voice clearly when he could hear very little else. When the owner of the voice allows him to escape the cage he has been placed in he begins to roam, heading for something he only hears in his head.
Anna has come to Montana to look for her cousin who has gone missing after her home was burned. The local authorities believe that Sarah died in the fire, but Anna doesn't believe it. When she hears about the wounded bear found at the scene of the fire she has to go and see for herself. She is drawn to his beautiful eyes and stays and talks to him trying to convince him to live.
I am not going to tell you any more. You may know who Todd is from the previous book in the series, which also featured Sarah. You do not need to have read the other books to enjoy this one, but you really should read them all as they are great.

I received a copy of this audio book from the author and reviewed it voluntarily because I want you all to read it!

Narrator does an incredible job.

Narrator does an incredible job with this difficult plotline. This was an emotional read as a book but was even more tear inducing whilst listening. The sadness just overwhelms you at times and you need to pause to catch your breath. BOOK REVIEW If you are a fan of Ms Lowe you will love this. If you have read nothing by her before, read this series, you will not regret it. Anna Lowe has done a superb job telling a difficult story. Very well written and a real page turner. I had such mixed emotions when I had finished reading this book that for the first time ever, I delayed writing a review to let myself think about how I felt. This was a story that was difficult to tell where it was going to go and how it would end. Not the easiest of situations to deal with. The angst, guilt, depression and anger felt by Todd and his bear have been given such clarity you feel his emotions as strongly as he did. Todd is such a strong, damaged man/shifter who gives the greatest gift of all to his cousin Soren and his mate Sarah. Instead of causing problems he accepts a difficult situation with strength and character. I cannot even put myself in his shoes as to such a decision, my heart was breaking for Todd. His depression was understandable but I loved how Todd's bear kept chipping in with advice, he was a real sweetie with a sense of humour. A good balance against Todd’s pain and feelings. As his bear said, I hurt too. I really liked Anna, her past situation was sad but she was a strong compassionate person with an inbuilt sense of knowing when something wasn’t true or someone was not trustworthy. She knew Sarah was still alive no matter what anyone else said and that Emmett was wrong. I just wish she had told someone about her fears. But the others have to take some blame. If they had told Anna what was going on she would have twigged that she had seen Emmett and his following her was a distinct possibility so everyone would have been more on guard. Saying that, Emmett's trickery was very good and while I was screaming at Anna not to believe the text messages and stay in the vehicle, that is easy for me to do, like watching a horror movie and knowing something bad is going to happen. I must say I hate the Blue Bloods with a passion, anyone who would even think of using or hurting babies and children is just the lowest of the low and a special place in hell awaits them. Loved the ending and I must say I am glad they went back to Montana, a fresh start and some distance is just what is needed for them. Whilst Todd will always have a special spot in his heart for Teddy I believe he will be able to separate things into a good place and focus on his mate and children. One of my favourite books by this author and I love everything Ms Lowe has written. This is my honest review of this book.
