This is a great holiday-style paranormal romance.. I liked it very much. Great characters and a fun storyline. Love this couple!

What a wholesome holiday romance!
There isn’t too much drama happening in this shifter romance, but these two are so adorable you won’t care.
This has forced proximity, holiday romance and a cozy ski lodge. This is super short too so it can totally be read in one sitting (perhaps with some cocoa & a snack, seriously there is a lot of food in this!)
This is one holiday romance that will leave you feeling warm & fuzzy.

I really wanted to love this book. I just couldn’t get into it and I wasn’t really the biggest fan of the writing style. Gabrielle was really sweet and worked as a veterinarian in her home town. Landon was part owner of a ski resort that Gabrielle was vacationing. Landon was so in to her from the start and just wanted her to be happy and they seemed to click immediately. The relationship moved fairly quickly be the storyline seemed to drag.

DNF 50%

I definitely want to give this one a try again once we're closer to the holiday season. I loved the sweet moments between Gabrielle and Landon. It definitely felt like things were always going so perfectly,which set me back a little.

I struggled getting pulled into the story and the characters. However, I'd say this is a light holiday read that will absolutely tick some marks off of people's boxes.

Bummed this didn't quite work out for me at the moment, but once the festive season comes around... I'll try again!

I love a Christmas romance! Gabrielle comes to the resort to ski with her friends who are delayed. The resort co-owner, Landon, offers to teach her to ski and show her around. Gabrielle is a veterinarian, which is a position his pack has been needing. Yes, there is plenty of matchmaking and plenty of Christmas spirit. It was lighthearted and full of love.

Gabrielle Lowe, Veterinarian, and grey wolf shifter dreads going skiing with her jaguar shifter girlfriends. When Gabrielle arrives at the ski resort in Silver Town, Colorado, she finds out her friends are delayed because of a criminal case they're working on. Landon Wolff, co-owner of the ski resort is immediately attracted and offers to teach her to ski. What follows is several days of skiing, getting to know each other, and Gaby having to offer her skills as a Vet a few times. What Gabrielle doesn't know is that her jaguar friends, and the Alpha couple of Silver Town are working together to find a pack for Gaby, and they hope she'll stay as the new Vet. Landon finds out, and is on board with getting Gabrielle to stay. She fights the attraction she has for Landon, and the fear of change. This was such an enjoyable read while Gabrielle realises that a woman needs love, and a wolf needs her pack.

Joy, happiness, family and love during the holiday season. Book 2 in the Wolff brothers with no problem reading as a stand alone. If you love the holidays, paranormal, shifters and just want to read a book that brings you love and contentment, this is the book for you. This was pull up my feet, get comfy and indulge in the light this wolf shifter romance brought into the mess of the world today. Thank you NetGalley , Sourcebooks Casablanca and Terry Spear for a joyful paranormal read. I freely volunteer my thoughts and opinions, in this case my emotions :)

Jingle Bell Wolf is a pleasant holiday visit to Silver Town, a town of wolf shifters. When wolf shifter Gabrielle Lowe is talked into going on vacation to a ski lodge with her two jaguar friends, she is leery but agrees. When her friends are delayed, Gabrielle is left on her own until the sisters arrive. But when wolf shifter Landon Wolff, one of the lodge owners, catches her swimming when the pool is closed, he is pleased to realize she is also a shifter. Soon they are spending all their time together, including time with his family and friends.

I liked the Wolff family and how well they all got along. The ski lodge, the little town businesses and the Christmas decorations created the perfect holiday experience. There is a shortage of female wolf shifters in town, and it was so cute when Landon practically glued himself to Gabrielle’s side, which is fine with her. The pacing of the story is relaxed and everyone is so pleased to have Gabrielle in town, it’s a big change from her hometown in Florida, where she is the only wolf shifter. Overall, a fun, easy story.

Thank you NetGalley for providing an eARC of this book; this is my honest opinion.

What a feel good Christmas story! Jaguar and wolves as best friends is fun. I enjoyed the family in this book. Fun, caring and ready for anything.

Jingle Bell Wolf is a beautiful atmospheric love story for Christmas time.
This book puts a lot of emphasis on the description of the Christmas decorations, atmosphere and local customs. Interestingly, that didn't bother me too much. Probably also, because you can indirectly put yourself in the Christmas mood better.

I do not recommend this book to anyone who likes love stories with a lot of action; as it builds up slowly but steadily. The plot is somewhat predictable, but that doesn't detract the reading pleasure.

By and large, it's a book about love, family, and togetherness. In short, all the things that we should appreciate - not just at Christmas.

Gabrielle is staying at Landon’s family resort. Gabrielle was in a terrible accident in the snow many years ago where she lost both her parents. She has lived in sunny Florida since and this is the first time she has been back in the snow. She comes to Landon’s notice when she breaks the rules about swimming in the lodges pool. But rather than getting angry Landon gets intrigued and attracted. Soon, it seems, the whole town is trying to get Gabrielle to move to town- to be the local vet and to mate with Landon.
This is a sweet love story peppered with a missing person’s chase. The plot was often devoid of action, however.

Jingle Bell Wolf by Terry Spear is the second book in the Wolff Brothers paranormal romance series. While a small part of the story is set in and around Daytona Beach Florida, the main story line is set in Silver Town, Colorado. Our protagonist is Gabrielle Lowell, a gray wolf shifter and veterinarian. She and her two jaguar shifter friends are to meet at a ski lodge for a week’s vacation. However, her friends get held up with a job and Gabrielle decides to swim in the lodge’s heated pool after it’s closed. Gray wolf shifter Landon Wolff is part owner of the lodge and intends to throw Gabrielle out of the pool. However, when he learns she is a wolf shifter, his plans change.

Gabrielle is a likeable female lead with a great sense of humor who doesn’t handle change well. Landon hopes he has found someone to share holidays and life with. The supporting characters are well-rounded and enhance the story. It was great to have several characters from book one or other series set in this town play minor or pivotal roles. It had some humor, some relationship building, and the romance did not heat up until the second half of the book with some steamy scenes. The descriptions were vivid without detracting from the flow of the story. It also had several themes running through it including the importance of family, friendship, community support, adventure, romance, and much more. After reading the first book in the series, I was expecting some suspense in this one to add some depth to the story, but it was missing.

Overall, the plot was contemporary, light-hearted, and heartwarming. The prose was well-written and engrossing. The story was entertaining, paced well, and fun to read. If you enjoy contemporary paranormal romance novels, then this author may be one you will enjoy as much as I do. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series. Meanwhile, I am going to check out her Silver Town Wolf series.

SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca and Terry Spear provided a complimentary a digital ARC of this novel via NetGalley. This is my honest review. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own and are not biased in any way.

Cute holiday story about Gabrielle, a wolf shifter, that spends the holidays at a ski resort in Colorado and meets the one of the owners, Landon, also a wolf shifter. They are instantly attracted to each other and their romance blooms. The plot is slight but the romance is sweet.

Terry Spear's shapeshifter romances are always full of adventure and attraction. This time around Gabrielle works on overcoming her bad memories of a ski trip wtih her parents by heading to Colorado with a couple of friends. When her friends are held up by work, she has to force herself to try out the activities rather than sitting by the fire in the lodge all day. Landon owns the resort with his siblings and has no patience for rule breakers - until he finds Gabrielle taking an after hours swim in the lodge's pool. Suddenly the wolf from sunny Florida and the ski expert find themselves spending a lot of time together. Between late night swims, ski lessons, and rescuing an avalanche victim the pair grow closer by the day. Will they find a way to stay together when their careers are on opposite sides of the country?

Like the first Wolff Brothers story, this takes place in Silver Town, so the pack there shows up - Darien and Lelandi, Silva and Sam, Doc Mitchell, and the rest of the Wolff family. And since it is set at Christmas time, the traditional Silver Town competitions for the best snowmen, snow sculptures, gingerbread creations, and lighting displays are included. Gabrielle's friends are jaguar shifters on a JAG mission, one that will remind readers of Ashley Judd's "Double Jeopardy" role. And, of course, the Wolff's lovable St. Bernard - Rosco - is there for all the petting and belly rubs he can get.

Longtime fans of Spears and newcomers to the world of her shifter stories will all have an enjoyable read just in time for the holiday season.

Summary: USA Today bestselling author Terry Spear brings you the wolf shifters you've been wishing of for Christmas in this action-packed paranormal holiday romance!

It's almost Christmas, and Florida gray wolf shifter and veterinarian Gabrielle Lowe has been talked into going with her friends to a ski resort in Silver Town, Colorado. But when her two jaguar girlfriends are held up on a mission, it not only leaves Gabrielle alone for the holidays, but also out of her element at the snowy resort. Determined to make the best of it, Gabrielle takes a dip in the lodge's heated pool--after it's closed, of course...

Gray wolf shifter Landon Wolff is part owner of the ski lodge and he's got enough on his plate getting ready for the annual influx of Christmas visitors. The last thing he needs is a rebel, indulging in a midnight swim long after the pool is closed. Just as he's about to throw the rule breaker out of the pool he realizes that Gabby is also a wolf. Suddenly, all the rules change... Maybe Landon will finally find the wolf he's always wanted to share the holidays with.

Review: I really enjoyed this book from the beginning. I'm not sure if it's because of how simple it was laid out or it's all around cuteness. I've been in a bit of a book slump but this book was just very easy to read. My only complaint is that things got over explained and repeated a bit too much for my liking. I understood it the first, second and third time it was stated. I didn't read the first book but you don't really need to, to understand this book.

I tried very hard to get pulled into this book and just couldn't do it. It's saccharine sweet with everyone smiling and getting along and becoming immediate best friends. It's the kind of book that you hold out hope for but ultimately just find yourself groaning about.

Another good addition to Terry Spear's werewolf series. We get to see the second Wolff brother meet his match, Gabrielle, a veterinarian. Gabrielle is visiting Landon's lodge for what is supposed to be a girl's trip, but her friends are delayed and after breaking a lodge rule, she runs into Landon. By the time her friends arrive, she has been spending all her time with Landon and is falling in love with him and Silver Town. We get to see more of the Wolff sisters as well as Blake and Josie.

Why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5: I felt like everything was too "perfect" if that makes sense. Their relationship seemed all sunshine and roses. I like my book relationships to be a little more realistic, as most people don't just magically mesh together and agree on everything. Overall I still enjoyed the book.

Gabrielle a wolf shifter has decided to spend the holidays with her friends at a ski resort in Colorado, not her usual choice in vacations. Unfortunately her two best friends who happen to be jaguar shifters are running late and are not expected to show up for a few days. Gabrielle finds out quickly the resort she is staying in just happens to be shifter friendly and owned by a family of wolves. Landon one of the owners finds out someone is swimming after hours and intends on kicking them out of the pool until he finds out it happens to be a beautiful wolf shifter that he can't wait to meet.

This was a fun story, the setting and characters are easy to like and the resort and town are just perfect for a holiday story. I'm very glad I was able to read this story and review it. I would definitely give it a try because you won't be sorry.

I was given a free arc to read in exchange for an honest review.

This book is unusual in the shifter category in that it could be a fully human romance with zero impact on the main plot. The relationship development is so normal that it's practically wholesome. The entire town in which it takes place is shifter Mayberry. The main couple are responsible and practical and devoid of unnecessary drama.

This is a warm and fuzzy one night read except for one thing. There is so much food in this book that it's nearly impossible to read without snacking. Roast beef, balsamic mushrooms, red velvet waffles, peppermint hot chocolate, pizza, steak, cookies, and so. much. food. The author is either gifted in kitchen skills or knows all the best restaurants in every town. Probably both.
