Book Description:

Alphas in the Wild is an urban fantasy romance collection that contains three full-length books.

 Hello Darkness:

Earth magics collide, forcing Moira Shaughnessy to take a chance on a man who hurt her so badly she never forgave him.

 A ranger for the U.S. Park Service, Moira is in serious trouble. Fleeing from her cheating husband, who’s a Native American shaman, she stumbles into the arms of a man she never thought she’d see again. He hurt her once by choosing his magic over her. Would she be a fool to take a chance on him now?

 Alpine Attraction:

Tina made a pact with the devil seven years ago. It’s time to pay the piper—or die.

 Independent to the nth degree, Tina meets everything in her life head-on—except love.

 Caught between misgivings and need, Tina signs on as team doctor for one of Craig’s climbing trips to the Andes. Though he was the love of her life, she pushed him away years before to keep him safe. Even if he doesn’t love her anymore, there’s still no one she’d rather have by her side in the mountains. And if she’s going to die, she wants to make things right between them.

 A Run For Her Money:

Sara’s day begins like any other. A routine extraction in tandem with a local Search and Rescue team. Routine crashes to a halt when she ends up trapped in a hut, high in the Sierras. Four days later, running out of food for herself and her dog, she makes a bold dash for safety.

 Jared’s walking the Muir Trail when all hell breaks loose. After hunkering beneath a boulder pile for days, he dares a difficult cross-country route, hoping it’ll put him into position to approach a backcountry ranger station. He locates the station, but it’s locked tight. He’s packing up to leave when a helicopter lands, with Sara at the helm. There’s no time to trade war stories. It takes a leap of faith, but they throw in their lot together. Can they face the impossible and come out the other side unscathed?

Ratings and reviews

In this first book in the series Alpha's in the Wild, "Hello Darkness," a woman in charge of a crew for the Park Service, she's been used and abused by the last man in her life. She's moved on and is stronger for it. Ready for a new assignment to prove herself, but as can happen, her pass gets in the way. An old love comes back, one that hurt her badly but has a story to tell her why. Her new assignment takes her to the backwoods to find her crew and get a job done. Then things get really strange; if she didn't know better she'd swear evil was out to get her. This is my first read that has a native American in it and it's not always good thing in this story. We have a story of the strength of love no matter how much time has passed and the obsessive madness of not letting go due to hate. I recommend this first of three stories in this series of strong Alpha women. Now to get to the second book so I can let you know if its a thumbs up like this first one was. Well the mountain climbing background in this second book of the series, Alpine Attraction, was something knew for me. The alpha in this story is Tina and seven years earlier while climbing solo in the Andes she was on the brink of losing her life when unexpected help came. But in order to be saved she had to swear to come back in seven years. The experience changed her life; even leaving a good man, Craig, who loved her. We go forward and she is horrifically reminded that the seven years is almost up. This time she knows better than to go alone, and learns that Craig is taking an expedition up the same mountain and signs on as his medic. This story puts you right there with her as she once again is climbing the mountain. We feel her strength and independence mixed in with fear of the unknown. I recommend this story to anyone interested in native legends, magic, courage, and love. When you finish you'll either want to find a mountain to climb or get as far away from them as you can. Wow !! At heart I'm a sci-fi nerd and this third book in the Alpha's in the Wild Series, "Run for Her Money" fits in that genre, along with adventure, thrills, surprising twists, strong characters, sexy love, and a dog; LOVED it. What starts out as a routine park ranger mission, turns into a struggle for survival as Sara discovers that something terrible has happened. At the same time a backpacker is trying desperately to get to a safe haven after evading detection from what seems to be some kind of attack. You'll have to read this story to learn what transpires when these two meet and what they have to go through to survive and learn what has happened. They meet other survivors and what follows next, well all I can say is I want this made into a movie. Get the collection, get them separately, but get these books and you will love reading about these Alpha women and what they go through to make it to a new and better day.

I’ve come to talk with you again… a second chance at love. Alphas in the Wild is a collection of three full-length novels that are all based on relationships made on the backcountry trails, treks and climbs of the mountains. Life is immediate and survival is dangerous. Each of the three tales gives you that sense of immediacy and adventure. In Hello Darkness, Moira is forced to confront the past and forge a new future when her cheating ex decides if he can’t have her then no one will. This is one Native American shaman that has done everything to corrupt the beauty of shamanism and become a man that not even his father would approve of. When his befouled magic comes up against that of an arch druid, though, his days might just be numbered because Tim will do everything in his power to save the love of his life, including calling upon the dark side of his powers. Alpine Attraction takes us to the majestic peaks of the Andes mountains where a pact with a wily god has left Tina counting her days and unable to accept the love of the only man she’s ever wanted. When the two of them are reunited on the cold climes of the Andes once again, it will be a fight for their lives and their love… a fight Craig is more than willing to engage in with a god if it means he gets the woman of his dreams. Sara is a happy forty-something recluse caring for her beloved mountain trails as a park ranger. When a trip up the mountain with her SAR’s dog has her cowering from alien spaceships she’s not sure what she’ll discover when she leaves her hideaway. She certainly didn’t expect to find the love of her life in Jared. Jared left behind the hustle and bustle of the city for a backcountry hike never expecting to find himself fleeing cross-country from the destruction wrought by aliens nor helping a bunch of NASA scientists save the world. A Run for Her Money will have you rooting for the survival of mankind and the demise of invading aliens but most of all it will have you melting at this second chance at love for Jared and Sara. Ann Gimpel once again shows she knows how to combine action, adventure, and romance. While these stories may seem so very different with their paranormal and sci-fi elements they are wonderful tales of second chance love and romance. *****Reviewed for Xtreme-Delusions*****
