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.
Alphaville is the new series by Christine. I have read her work in the past, to be honest, she is a hit or miss for me. I nice and easy in between story. The story is quick passed, nothing but a good action, suspense romantic story with some crazy Coyotes after the main heroine. I enjoyed both characters they both felt real with each having their own little flaws.
This is a brand spanking new series from an amazing paranormal author that I've come to love and who's become an automatic one click author for me.
I'm a huge fan of paranormal romance stories and this is one of the best that I've had the pleasure of reading in a while. I loved the instant connection between Renny and Mick and literally couldn't get enough of them together! If this incredibly addictive story is a sign of things to come, then I'm going to love this entire series so much!
I highly recommend everything written by this amazing author
I received a copy of Baby, I'm Howling For You by Christine Warren from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I found the summary for this novel to be very intriguing, and although the execution was not completely polished, it was still an enjoyable read!
1st full length novel set in this new world.
Mick is a lone wolf through choice. After his mate was killed Mick dealt with those responsible in a bloody fashion. Now settled in Alpha, he is content with his cabin in the middle of nowhere and his
calling as a Graphic Novellist.
Renny is a Librarian and just loves books. But that love of books got her into a sticky situation and when she rebuffed the Alpha of the town, he started to harass her. Now he has graduated to stalker and uses his goons to track her down. Her last hope is Alpha, haven for shifters of all kinds. But when her car breaks down and the goons are on her tail, she hightails into the forest and lands on the unsuspecting Mick's door!
Poor Mick doesn't know what way is up. His wolf says she is his mate but he already had a mate and doesn't believe what he feels. Renny is in so much danger she can't work out why she feels so safe with this strange, lonely male. But she feels an attraction that she can't deny..she just keeps getting mixed signals from Mick!
Mick is a man in denial! He may still has a few issues but he is dealing with them and is just perfect for Renny. His inner rants at himself are quite entertaining. He loves Renny for who she is and at turns loves her intelligence and hates that downright stubborn streak she has. He really has to lock her out of decisions for her own safety sometimes because she is so damn independent!
Renny is no damsel in distress, ooh i broke a nil type! She is brilliantly feisty and I loved her.
Looking forward to more in this series cos the cocky mayor has got to get knocked off his feet!
I enjoyed this book. I have read many of Ms. Warren's Other series and I liked her writing. I recommend this book as a good read. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book. SQ

This book started off okay off me, then I kinda lost interest. It wasn't bad, but by the end my interest just wasn't really invest in the characters or story. Character, story, and setting developement were okay but didn't overly stand out to me. I would check it out if you love shift books, though.
I loved the start to this new series. A werewolf with tattoos who is also a graphic novelist? Where was this town, again??
I'll definitely be on the lookout for the next book.
This was fun and steamy, with an added bonus of an interesting background characters with all kinds of potential for feature stories. I'm looking forwards to the next one.
Baby, I'm Howling For You by Christine Warren is the first book in the Alphaville series. And the first book I have read from this author. The beginning started out slow, and picked up by the end. But I felt as if Renny for being a shape shifter, was too meek for me.
The story begins with Renny running for her life, and Mick is an alpha who lost his mate. Fate seemed to want them to meet, and sparks fly!
Lots of action, suspense, and a steamy love story all in one.
