by Christine Warren
Blurb:
Renny
Landry is a wolf on the run. Pursued by a shapeshifting stalker and his
slobbering pack of killer coyotes, she is forced to flee her job as a librarian
to find sanctuary in the wooded hills of Alpha, Washington. A well-secluded
safe space for troubled shifters, Alpha is Renny’s last hope. But the first
person she meets there is a gorgeous alpha male with fiery eyes, fierce
tattoos, and one ferocious appetite—for her…
Mick
Fischer thought he left his past behind when he moved to Alpha. But fate has a
way of biting him in the tail when a female wolf shows up on his property.
Wounded, desperate—and disarmingly hot—Renny brings out the snarling,
protective alpha beast in Mick like no other woman he’s known. Can these two
haunted, hunted wolves manage to mate for life…even as the deadliest past
demons howl at their heels?

Review:
I
love it when a new series begins by a favorite author and you find out that
while it’s new you get to see some familiar characters and the world they live
in isn’t really all that unfamiliar to you.
That was the case with this new series by Christine Warren, the author
of one of my favorite series, The Others, and when I picked up the prequel
story (Something to Howl About) I returned to a world I felt comfortable in. The first full length novel takes us through
the journey of two characters that have lived through some seriously bad shit
in recent years, but now have a chance to come together and offer one another
healing and a chance for a future. Renny
is running for her life when she stumbles into Mick’s backyard fully expecting to
die, one way or another, but he comes to her rescue, never realizing how
important she truly would be to his future.
Mick is hiding from his own past, having lost his mate, cleaned house on
his own corrupt pack and run to Alphaville to live an isolated life as a lone
wolf. Once he sees Renny he knows
she’s trouble, but he can’t in good conscience let a female bleed to death in
his yard. As Mick and the other badass
protectors of Alphaville come together to get Renny out of her predicament,
Mick becomes increasingly possessive and when he can’t resist a moment longer
shows Renny how important she truly is to him.
Renny suddenly finds herself with an insanely possessive alpha wolf in
her life and there’s no getting rid of him, not that she actually wants to, but
as danger closes in she knows that she might have to sacrifice her life to keep
her mate safe and she has no problem making that choice. Mick and Renny’s story was packed with
action, steamy as all get out, and full of fun plot twists keeping me engaged
and enthralled through every page. The
heat between these two lovers was off the charts and when they finally gave into it I thought my kindle was going to catch fire. Mick is a bit of an ass in the beginning, and
even as he shows Renny how much he wants her, he doesn’t see how badly he is
handling their new and intense relationship for most of the story. Thankfully Renny is plenty sassy and she-wolf
enough to show her man how he is screwing up and get him back on the right
track. I loved how strong she was, even
in moments of intense vulnerability and need, she always made sure that the
alpha personalities in the room didn’t disregard her opinions or treat her as
if she didn’t have a say—girl power! I am really looking forward to the next
story in the series which as I understand it is Renny’s friend Molly’s love
story and I know that lioness is going to be kickass as she finds her
mate. Another amazing series in the
works for sure and I am dying waiting for the next release. Thanks Christine for your amazing imagination
and for sharing it with us romance nuts.
