Curl up in your favorite chair with an ice-cold beverage because you are going to need it to cool off after reading this book!  The third installment of the Redwood Pack Series does not disappoint, as a romance or an adventure.If you already read Ryan's Taste of a Mate, you know that Reed has been abducted by a rival werewolf pack.  In Trinity Bound (Book #3), we get to really know him and his TWO intended mates.  Yep, that's right.  He's lucky enough to get two.  I've read some good ménages and some bad ones;  Trinity Bound is fantastic!  Ryan does such an excellent job of emotionally connecting to each partner in the relationship.  It's hard enough to write an emotionally satisfying story with two main characters, but the author succeeds beautifully with all three of hers.Hannah is so sweet and kind, but with a badass attitude when she needs it.  Nothing is going to get between this witch and the men she loves.  I also like the fact that a ménage is something she had never considered before, it makes her character so much more real to me that she is mentally processing this relationship as the plot moves along.Reed is artistic, thoughtful, a good listener, but I have to laugh at the times when he behaves like a clueless normal human being.  It brings his character to life.  Ryan has such a natural way of showing strengths and weaknesses in characters that as a reader you can't help but feel that you really get to know them as people.  It's the memory of the characters that really seal the deal on a successful story.Josh is the rough and tough SEAL that hides his emotions and won't let anyone see the softer side.  This story is so perfect for him, because that poor man needs two people to love him and make him feel like part of a family.  His transformation throughout the book is excellent, especially his temptation by the demon.Which brings me to the dark twist the author has taken in this story.  It was by far the right choice and by including witches and demons into her werewolf pack's lives, it has only added spark, depth, and a lot of intensity to the stories.  I can't wait to see where Carrie Ann Ryan takes it next!~C. Johnston a.k.a. Krystal Shannan
