I picked this book to read not because of the title but because I loved the cover photo. I think the book could have a better title like Alpha or something in that line. Luckily a title does not make a book bad!!! I loved this book and really could not read fast enough, this was my first book by Christine Warren and I loved the characters and writing style. I can't wait to read more books by this author.
I would recommend this book if you are a fantasy lover and love reading about shapeshifters. I especially loved this book because I recently visited a wolf sanctuary with my family and got to touch and feed a wolf.

What is this paranormal romance goodness? This new series from Ms. Warren captures my attention and I want to read it all. A sucker for the underdog, Renny Landry is one I'm rooting for in the book. She is a hybrid shifter who is being chased by a psychotic wolf shifter who can't take no for an answer. When she targets for the mythical shifter sanctuary, she is close when her stalker's goons take her down. Luckily for her, she makes it the very edge of the sanctuary and a reluctant shifter helps her out.

Mick Fischer is a curmudgeonly isolationist who is still suffering from the burdens of his past. When Renny falls into his lap, his past catches up with him. This is good because he can right a wrong he did not consider when he left his old life.

What captures my attention about this series is the town, Alpha. The misfit of shifters living in this hidden town are all unique and interesting. They each have a story to tell and I can't wait to learn about each of their stories. Mick is first up and his is a doozy. He has suffered loss. It is understandable his desire to go away and stay hidden. It is also a bit selfish in some senses because as an alpha wolf, he has certain responsibilities that he threw away without a thought.

This story ebbs and flows with building a new life for Renny, addressing the old one which is tangled up with Mick's past. The different ties makes it more complicated and difficult for a straight decision. It isn't simple because different actions have outcomes where someone will lose out. Ms. Warren does a nice job of resolving with a happy in between.

As a romantic story, it is a bit light for me. Or perhaps, I am less interested in the romantic chemistry between Renny and Mick. Their budding romance is nice. I am more vested in their partnership and how they were going to solve their coinciding issues together. As a couple, they are powerful and well matched. This paranormal romance is recommended to shifter lovers who enjoy crusty antisocial shifters with a soul of a poet.

Renny Landry has done everything she could to let her stalker know she is not interested but when he continues to relent she makes a run for it to Alphaville. She doesn't get away without being wounded and wakes up to find strangers hovering.

The last thing Mick Fischer needs is his persistent wolf wanting his mate Renny, however with Renny in trouble he steps up to protect her. Renny's stalker though brings up memories that continue to haunt Mick, how can he move on with Renny when his past is determined to be present in his life?

Highly entertaining. Had a few twists and I liked how it was not instant couple just because they were mates. Mick was an intriguing character who I would like more of. Great read, unusual plot for a shifter story.

I enjoyed this book Renny was a feisty smart heroine who didn't just let others take care of her problems. She's being stalked by a coyote shifter that believes she belongs to him. Mick is a sad lonely alpha who lost his mate years before and truly believed he was just existing til Renny literally fell into his lap. The story keeps you interested and invested I wanted to know if Renny and Mick get their happily ever after. The story lagged at a few spots and I feel the ending is a bit rushed and could have been done a bit better but I did enjoy the story and thought it was pretty good. If you like werewolf shifter books with a bit of their own twist then you'll enjoy this :)

Red wolf shifter Renny Landry is running for her life. There is a pack of coyotes hunting her. She has been trying to escape her crazy stalker and his bully boys for ages.
She has heard of a shifter friendly town that might be a safe haven.
Alpha wolf Mick has been on his own since the death of his mate years ago. The alarm system blares and a panicked howl can be heard in his woods. Little does he know just how much that sound will change his life.
An all action shifter romance, with a full story line. Lots of very nasty fights and scary moments. Also some hot sexy scenes. We meet lots of really interesting characters who I'm sure we will get to hear more of in the future. This is part of a series but easily read alone. Saying that I will be reading the next one VERY soon.

Renny Landry is a wolf shifter on the run from a stalker who has chased her out of her job and a few towns since. She is trying to get to Alphaville which is supposed to be a haven for lone shifters and other shifters with problems.

After running out of gas, she shifts and heads into the woods just moments ahead of the gang of coyote shifters who want to catch her and bring her back to their evil coyote shifter boss. She winds up in the yard of Mick Fischer, another wolf shifter. He takes one look at her and his inner wolf declares her his mate.

The human part of Mick doesn't want to have anything to do with her. He has already had a mate and lost her. There is no way that he ever wants to feel that sort of pain again. However, Renny is in trouble and needs him and his inner wolf if putting a lot of pressure on him to claim her in every possible way.

Mick soon gives way to his inner wolf but Renny isn't at all sure that they have anything other than their mating bond. She wants emotional closeness and fears that Mick's past won't allow him to give it. It really doesn't help that her stalker is his former brother-in-law which brings up the tragic past he is trying to put behind him.

I loved the relationship. I loved the way the story was told from both Renny and Mick's points of view. I loved the colorful writing and touches of humor. The romance was intense and believable. The story is filled with excitement as Renny, Mick and the town rally around to track down her stalkers and take care of the problem.

Great urban fantasy/paranormal romance.

Alphaville is the 'safe haven' legend of this series. Shifters all over the US have heard the rumors of a completely shifter town that is safe to all shifters, no packs or alpha-problems to navigate. They tend to attract those that need a haven or want to be on their own. Wolf shifter, Renny is one of those that need a haven. Being stalked by a crazy coyote shifter and his crazy packmates because she refused the alphas advances is bad enough, but they've followed her across state-lines into Alphaville itself. Now, they're attacking in brood daylight and their smart enough to flee and bury their scent trail when needed.

In her attempts to save herself, Renny runs onto Mick Fischer's property. Mick has been hiding in Alphaville for years after his mate was killed. Now, Renny has invaded his privacy and it turns out she's his second chance at a mate. But does he even want a second chance? When he finds out the coyote stalker is his first mates crazy half-brother, it enrages him even more than finding a second mate does. An excellent story about a really interested shifter town. Quick, easy and entertaining read!

As far as romance sub-genres go, I will pretty much read them all and really enjoy a good shifter romance now and again which is why I was pretty excited to start Baby, I'm Howling for You (also what a fun title). I found elements I enjoyed but overall I did not love the book.

Things I enjoyed:

-the idea of a shifter town of misfits and the resulting small town feel
-the notion that the story doesn't end immediately after the mating, which is often the end goal for some novels
-the modern elements that ground the story in our reality, despite it being fantasy (for example the male MC is a graphic novelist)
-the steam level

Things I did not enjoy:

-I felt the action was a bit weak and it was difficult to watch the MC's fall prey to the villains traps multiple times
-If I was new to shifter romances I would feel lost, not much explanation of the shifter world was included
-some of the town interactions felt forced to me, but that might have been due to the fact that I did not start at the first book in the series

One thing that I felt deeply disappointed in is that at some point the author makes a disparaging comment about 70's bodice rippers that rubbed me the wrong way? We romance readers take a lot of crap from non romance readers and saying something like 'it's not like she was a heroine for a 70's bodice ripper' puts the whole genre down (yes, even if aged and problematic). That kind of put a sour note in it for me at the end there. It WAS a pleasant read but I would not read any more from this particular series.

I was given this book by Netgalley for an Honest review.

Baby, I'm Howling For You (Alphaville) is a funny, sexy, and action packed book. The storyline and characters are well-developed. Renny is running away from  a stalker wolf. Her car breaks down on the outskirts of Alphaville with the shapeshifters who were sent by her stalker to retrieve her. She runs onto Mick's land trying to get away from them. Mick runs off the wolves chasing her and take her to his cabin.  His wolf recognizes that she is his mate, but how can that be? His mate had died. He must protect her at all cost. Renny is afraid for Mick, because the one who is stalking her will kill Mick and anyone who stands in his way! I loved this book and series! I never get disappointed with a Christine Warren book. I recommend this book and series to everyone. I give Baby, I'm Howling For You (Alphaville) 5/5 stars.

So glad the Others are back .. Loved every moment of this book.. Well written as always. the tension between Renny (a red wolf on the run) and Mick (a wolf with a broken heart and a dark past) well handled and the build up to the climax wow couldn't put the book down. can't wait for the rest of the series

I was gifted this book to read on netgalley, I really enjoy Christine Warren's books. The Others being one of my favorite series. While I enjoyed this book it was not my favorite. It seemed to drag on for me. I can't seem to pin point why this is. Renny Landry is the heroine, she was strong, sensitive and not a pushover. Mick Fischer the hero, was Alpha, sweet, sad (he lost his first mate) and strong. The cast of characters are entertaining and brought a lot to the book. I do find I enjoy the second book of every series more then the first, so this may be a me thing not the story thing. I'm looking forward to reading more of this series. 3.5 stars

This book is about renny and mick, how they meet each other. Can Mick keep Renny safe,and can he convince her that he want her to be his mate before it’s to late. Christine Warren has done it again, a well written story,and it’s has has you keep guessing what is going to happen next.

This is the first full length novel in the new Alphaville series. It follows the novella Something to Howl About, although it definitely can be read as a stand alone and you don't need to read the novella to understand anything. However, I really liked the novella and recommend you read it just because it is part of the series and frankly it's a good read. With all that being said, this book is about Renny Landry and Mick Fischer. Renny is on the run from a crazy shifter stalker who keeps sending his coyote pack after her no matter where she goes. She is trying to make it to Alpha when they catch up to her in the woods and try to capture her again. She ends up being saved by Mick just as she runs into the clearing where his cabin is located. Mick has been living in Alpha for years just trying to survive his past. Little does he know, his past is about to slap him in the face. And he has no idea how to deal with Renny when he hasn't gotten over his past.

I truly liked this book. Renny is sweet, funny, and even though she is scared about what is happening she still tries to make a life and make herself be happy. Mick is, to put it bluntly, damaged. He had been through so much and hadn't dealt with anything that happened except to get his revenge. He has never truly moved on and made a life for himself or attempted to be happy. And now that he has a second chance? He tries to fight it not believing that it can happen for him, or even should happen for him. The only thing about this book I didn't like was that Mick seemed to just magically put aside his feelings about the past without ever truly dealing with them. It was like one minute he was fighting any sort of new relationship for all he was worth and then BAM, he was totally on board! Now that isn't to say that this book wasn't good. I still really liked it, it's just that one thing about it that brought it down from a 5 star book to a 4 star book in my opinion. Once he was on board with everything with Renny, I loved everything about him and how he was with her. This was truly a good book. And the side characters in it are awesome! I really hope we get books for Molly, Zeke, and John!!

This one is definitely much better than the prequel! Some world building and character growth are always good in my book!

Renny Landry is on the run from the very first sentence of this book and that sets the tone for the entire thing. She has a stalker on her hands and had fled to a place she's always believed is a sanctuary. While fleeing, she ends up right in her mates hands.

Mick is a wolf who has separated himself from people to deal with his loss. Though he does more brooding about why he is STILL dealing with his grief. Once he sees Renny he does what he can to resist her but finally realized it is futile. Once he gives in sparks fly and things look up for him.

The only downside to their new relationship is the psycho stalking Renny who happens to have a connection to Mick as well.

I loved the writing style by the author. I also loved that what would feel predictable absolutely wasn't. I thought one thing would happen and it didn't. I also love that even though the hero is an alpha, the heroine isn't. It brought a fresh take on those types of relationships.

I used to hunt down Christine Warren Other Books at Goodwill Whenever I could, because I love her storytelling and her Heat level rocks too! This new series starter does not disappoint.

I loved watching Renny and Mick dance about their mating call and see it pull them under. I love when were/mates fight the pull for a bit. I also liked that although the bond brought them together they fell in love individually and through their actions. It made their story all the sweeter.

They fight for each other against a common enemy and old fears and insecurities. I like that Renny fought to be included in dealing with her Stalker instead of letting them coddle her.

I thought the world building was interesting and I love that I am rooting for new characters to get their own installment...(Zeke please!) Secondary character actually sell me or they disappoint and Zeke and Molly were fun and engaging. I want to see more of all the people introduced in upcoming books.


I received a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest opinion.

Very fun and flirtatious! A nice balance of sexy PNR and tense stalker situation.

Christine Warren's novels are always a fun escape from reality and this start to her latest series doesn't disappoint! This book has both a second chance at love and the destructive fallout of obsession as the plot through which we're introduced to Alphaville. I can't wait to read more about this town of shifter misfits and what shenanigans they can get into.

This was an interesting story.. fast paced.. good writing.. and very fun characters.. it had supernatural which is always wonderful.. i am really glad i got to review this one because it was good

Baby, I'm Howling For You is a new shifter series by Christine Warren and it ticks all the boxes for me. Sexy alpha wolf shifters, feisty heroines and fates mates.
After reading Something To Howl About, I knew I was going to enjoy the tone and feel of this new series by Ms Warren. It's different from her Gargoyles series which I have also enjoyed but I love the passion, sense of danger and light humour in this one. I love the part of the story focusing on Renny and Mick as fated mates - the stubborn wolf resisting at first, until he can't. :-)
I liked Renny right from the start. There's something about a damsel in distress in romances that tugs at my heart. But Renny is no pushover and when she's not running in fear and adrenalin overload from an insane stalker, she's direct, independent and caring. I liked that she was honest and upfront about what was going on and didn't try to hide anything from those around her. I also admired her from wanting to build a life of her own and not cowering in fear. And Renny was sensible about her situation and understood her own weaknesses and inability to protect herself, resulting in her needing the help and support of the people in town.
Mick has had a traumatic past and he's in Alpha to hide from the world. Things change overnight when his mate comes barreling into his life, desperate and injured. It certainly brings out the protective instincts in him. I loved how alpha Mick is. He's all growly and overprotective. So damn sexy. Despite being blinded by his protective instincts at times, he's also a smart man and one who is willing to communicate with his mate and listen.
I loved that Renny and Mick communicated. Bring thrown together as mates suddenly is a big deal and a lot of change to absorb in a short period of time. Aside from a few hiccups, Mick and Renny dealt with the situation as mature adults. I loved that. They talked and worked things out, even when Mick was being stubborn and Renny was chaffing at her lack of freedom.
While this is an entertaining story, it also illustrates how awful it is to have a crazy stalker after you. I would never take lightly someone in this situation. It can destroy a person's life.
I loved this start to the Alphaville series and am looking forward to future books.

I love werewolf books of any kind, and this steamy romance was no exception. I love Christine warrens books.
