Markedly improved from the first in the series - much better world building, character interactions and dialogue. I liked Brynn and Joe together, and it was nice to see Dylan get his moment to shine near the end.

I bought the series when it was on sale for .99 cents for each book, so expect reviews (such as they are) for books #3 and #4 coming soon!

Series Review:

I <3 this series. Each installment is between 125-160 pages but Moira Rogers packs so much story into those few pages I never feel shorted or left wanting. Each book seamlessly continues the story of the Red Rock Pass sanctuary while delivering an engaging romantic story. I love the friendship and loyalty each character brings to the story, but even more than that I love that we never really say goodbye to any of the characters. Each book may focus on a new couple, but previous couples are there and a part of the action still.

I enjoyed each story for different reasons, but if I had to choose a favorite is is probably Joe and Brynn's story, from Sanctuary Lost. Partly because Joe is so very alpha, but also because of the twist in Brynn’s character arc. At one point I was swearing because a choice was taken away from her and I wasn’t sure I agreed with the author’s decision to do it, it felt like the easy way out. Yet as I kept reading I realize how wrong I was… it was the perfect turn of events and made Joe and Brynn’s journey so much harder and fulfilling. I don’t want to give anything away so I won’t go into detail, but Brynn is tested and will continue to be tested… even tho she gets her happily ever after with Joe I doubt things will ever be easy for them. It probably says something about me that my favorite characters are continuously tortured eh?

Sanctuary Lost may be my favorite, but I was surprised to find Dylan and Sasha’s book a close second. Dylan is not an alpha wolf, but he is sexy and sweet in his own ways. He is strong and commanding without being afraid to let Sasha be in charge. Sanctuary’s Price had some of my favorite quotes of the series.

>>Dylan lifted his head and stared at her. “I want you to come. I want >>you to feel so good you can’t image anyone else touching you. I want >>you to be mine because I give you everything you need.”

If you are looking for well written, sexy, engaging pararnormal romance reads do not miss the Red Rock Pass series. Don’t forget to pick up the FREE short stories for the series from Moira Rogers’ website…. I enjoyed the shorts just as much as the novellas.

Apparently this is my insomnia series now, and if the last week is any indication, I'll be ripping through it in no time. Sigh. 

Anyway. This series is a prime example of my theory that werewolf stories are often about body trauma -- and specifically sexual trauma -- though they don't fall into the trap of sexualizing the violence depicted, which is great. I was surprised at how quickly they wrapped up the Matthews plot cos I was really looking forward to an all out war in Helena, alas.

I enjoyed this story. Lots of action, some good relationship building, and it moved the story arc along very nicely.
