A very quick yet highly entertaining holiday adventure filed with witty and engaging characters. I read this entire book only to realize it was part of a series, but it could also be standalone. It was great and kept my attention the whole time. I recommend!

This was a sweet, cute holiday novella that reminded me that I need to catch up with the rest of the Seven Range Shifters. 😉 At least this time I started with the first book in the series, Cowboy Wolf Trouble. We just won’t talk about the fact that I haven’t read any books in between.

Cowboy Wolf Christmas was definitely a “opposites attract” story. Cheyenne was pretty much loved by everyone and Silas… not so much. At least he didn’t think that he was even liked by anyone. Thrown together by a road trip and a snow storm, they learned a lot about each other and themselves. Even though this was a short read, it wasn’t lacking in any aspect. There was plenty of action, danger, hotness and even some sweetness thrown into the mix. The perfect Holiday short. ❤

I read this entire book and realized it was part of a series, but it could also be standalone. It was so good and kept my attention the whole time. It flowed so well and was so well written. I highly recommend this book.

A very quick yet highly entertaining holiday adventure filed with witty and engaging charters, exciting twists and heartwarming feel good moments. A great read from beginning to end.

COWBOY WOLF CHRISTMAS is a holiday novella found in Kait Ballenger’s contemporary, adult, SEVEN RANGE SHIFTERS paranormal romance series. This is former Wild Eights rogue wolf shifter Silas Buck, and packmate /mechanic Cheyenne’s story line. COWBOY WOLF CHRISTMAS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Silas was first introduced in book three Fierce Cowboy Wolf.


Told from dual third person perspectives (Silas and Cheyenne) COWBOY WOLF CHRISTMAS follows Silas, just days before the Grey Wolves Christmas celebrations, as he is tasked with escorting Cheyenne to Missoula, the abandoned site of the former Grey Wolf subpack .Cheyenne is the Grey Wolf Pack mechanic, and is in need of some spare parts from Missoula’s long forgotten machinery but Missoula holds too many bad memories for our story line hero, memories of which no one is aware. Believing he was ordered to protect Cheyenne, Silas took the demands to heart, protecting Cheyenne like she was his own but the vampires that had decimated the Missoula pack were still roaming in the area, and Silas was about to come face to face with the past. What ensues is the building relationship between Silas and Cheyenne, and the potential fall-out when Cheyenne reveals her plans for the future, a future that no longer included the Grey Wolf Pack.


Silas Buck’s history with the Wild Eights Pack has made him an enemy of the Grey Wolves, a Pack he has sworn to protect and defend. Silas has always felt like an outsider but never more so than when he hears the whispers and accusations by the other members he now calls his own. Cheyenne is different than most wolf shifter, and it is these differences that have Silas reconsidering his place in the pack. Cheyenne suspects Silas is her mate but Silas has built a proverbial wall around his heart, in the hopes of keeping everyone else away.


The relationship between Silas and Cheyenne began months earlier.Silas saved Cheyenne’s life, and Cheyenne freed Silas from a death sentence imposed by the Pack he had sworn to protect.Silas had kept his distance never forgetting about the woman that called to his heart but Silas believed he did not deserve his own happily ever after, especially one with a woman naive to the world. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.


The secondary and supporting characters are limited: Packmaster Maverick Grey, Maverick’s second in command and Silas’ former Wild Eights packmate Wes Calhoun, as well as Grey Wolf Cayden.


COWBOY WOLF CHRISTMAS is a fast paced story of want and need, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is captivating; the romance is seductive; the characters are broke, different yet strong.

This is a quick and enjoyable read. The story is interesting with just the right amount of action and romance. I appreciated Cheyenne's uniqueness and the way Silas responded to her. I found both characters to be endearing in their own ways, thus perfect for each other. I thought this was an excellent way to pass an afternoon.

This was originally part of an anthology but was released on its own and can be read perfectly as a standalone.

This is Silas and Cheyenne's story.

Silas Buck, even though taken a vow to be a Grey Wolf member, doesn't feel that he is trusted or part of the pack. He sports an attitude that other members dub him grumpy. To make matters worse it was the most wonderful time of the year, and he hated it!

Maverick, the packmaster, summoned Silas to his office to ask a favor. He was to escort the pack's mechanic and stand as bodyguard over the last member he would've wanted to, Cheyenne Morgan.

His inner wolf stood at attention every time she was near but Silas felt the two of them couldn't be together because she was too good for him.

They were polar opposites, Cheyenne was all cheer and rays of sunbeams, and Silas was the grinch.

Silas grudgingly took Cheyenne to Missoula but as the hour grew late trouble brewed, and Silas had to act fast to lead Cheyenne to safety. He lead her to a cabin that once held and still held memories for him but the snow accumulation prevented them from leaving and forced them to spend a night together. It was enough to thaw the ice from Silas' heart.

Cheyenne let it slip that it was her last Christmas and she wanted to spend it with the pack. But by the time they returned, most of the pack had left early, leaving only the old, young, and a few warriors as protection. Silas is angry at the lack of security and realizing that Cheyenne would be hurt from being left behind, Silas makes a plan to protect the remaining members and bring new Christmas traditions to Cheyenne. Will it be enough to convince her to stay?

I absolutely love this series! I also liked how Kait brought autism into the story. It took Cheyenne to break through Silas' hard head to make him realize that he was a part of the pack.

I requested and received an ARC from NetGalley via Xpresso Book Tours and I have voluntarily reviewed this book.

Great book about about a shifter wolf with autism and learning to love.
This book is a quick cute read for Christmas

Absolutely loved it!! Here we meet Silas, a grumpy wolf, who believes he doesn’t belong; and Cheyenne, who is autistic and feels like an outsider. They are thrown together to retrieve a necessary vehicle part and encounter attacking vampires, a snowstorm, an unplanned overnight stay at an abandoned cabin and dealing with Cheyenne’s autism. and, of course, attraction to each other. This was a really well written story. I loved that one of the main characters had autism and appreciated that it was not just casually mentioned but went in depth on how it affected Cheyenne and how she was treated by others. This Novella is part of a series, but I was able to read it without reading any of the others.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and Kait Ballenger LLC, after publication, and am glad that I chose this one to read. I haven’t read any other books by Kait Ballenger, but will be reading them now.

Cowboy Wolf Christmas by Kait Ballenger is a simple romance within a wolf/human shifter pack. Silas Buck is a shifter with no self esteem, despite the fact he is talented, gorgeous, and reasonably thoughtful. He’s is also grumbly and difficult to get along with. He has been tasked by the leader of the pack to accompany Cheyenne, one of the pack’s mechanics, to Missoula to retrieve parts. He couldn’t do it: Missoula was where his family had been killed, and he was too attracted to Cheyenne to make this trip. She was the pack’s darling, and too good for him. But to earn the leader’s trust, he had to do it. Turns out she is as attracted to him as he his to her. They didn’t make it back in time for her to join the pack on their traditional run. They left without her.

Cheyenne was unique. She was also autistic. This give her a singular view of the world, and of Silas. She was a unique character in this unique story. She and Silas were both damaged characters that came together to “cure” what ailed them, well, not entirely, but being together made it better. It was a thin, but enjoyable plot, and a good Christmas story, if shifters are your idea of Christmas. I enjoyed it.

I was invited to read a free e-ARC of Cowboy Wolf Christmas by Kate Ballenger LLC, through Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are mine. #Netgalley #KateBallengerLLC #KateBallenger #CowboyWolfChristmas

Oh what a wonderful short story in the Seven Range Shifters series. This is Silas Buck and Cheyenne Morgan's story. You couldn't find more two opposite people than these two. Silas is new to the Grey Wolf Pack as he was formerly one of the Wild Eight. He doesn't feel he fits in and that everyone in the pack is judging him. He's grumpy as all get out!.Packmaster Wes Calhoun has asked him to accompany the pack's mechanic to Missoula to retrieve a part they need for the coming snow. It's a day trip as the pack is leaving first thing in the morning for the annual Wolf Pack Run to their sister pack in Boseman before Christmas. The pack's mechanic is Cheyenne Morgan, the slightly odd but bursting with smiles and positivity darling of the pack. He on the other hand hates Christmas as it has too many bad memories.

This is the story of how they get snowed in at Missoula where Silas has to face his past and a pack of Vampires. He figures out she is Autistic and instinctively knows how to help her as his little brother had it. She in turn helps him see that he was, and is a Grey wolf with a guardian protector heart. I loved watching them fall in love.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Cowboy Wolf Christmas was a fun addition to the Seven Range Shifter series. I haven't made my way through all of the books yet but it was very easy to enjoy this holiday shifter romance. Silas is one grumpy wolf! He doesn't feel like a true pack member of the Seven Range tribe and one of the first people to come to his aid is Cheyenne who is beloved by the entire pack. She's a talented yet quirky mechanic and he has been trying to keep his distance since they first met when she freed him from captivity. Cheyenne knows that she sees life differently from the rest of the pack. She also knows that under Silas' grumpy exterior lies a good wolf. When the pack Alpha sends them on a mission together Silas and Cheyenne get to know each other on a deeper and more personal level. Cowboy Wolf Christmas has it all, danger, drama, laughter, tears and ultimately love. It was told from dual POV and can easily stand alone however I plan on getting caught up with this series.

I fell in love with the seven range shifters in the 1st book. Kait weaves a enchanting tale that always gets me caught up in her stories. So much that I plan my read based upon my days off. Knowing that putting the story down is going to be hard. This Christmas tale was as awesome as the other books. Prepare for binge read.

an enjoyable holiday novella with plenty of sweet & sexy and some holiday spirit. While part of the author's series Seven Range Shifters, this stands well on its own and new readers can jump in without feeling lost.

Another fun read by a great author. Grumpy Grey is forced to celebrate Christmas, and is snowbound with Cheyenne. Enjoyed this one and found it hard to put down. Highly recommend this book and author.

lecture sympa et agréable
bien écrit
mais pas le livre de l'année
A lire si on a rien d'autre

fun and enjoyable read
well written
but not the book of the year
To read if you have nothing else

I will read anything Kait Ballenger writes. I don’t care if one day she decides to write non-fiction; I will still buy her books. I hope she continues to write Romance because she writes her characters so well that I have too many book boyfriends from her books that my other book boyfriends are getting jealous. There’s also the issue of her heroines and why I wish they were not fictional and I could have them as best friends, especially regarding the FMC in Cowboy Wolf Christmas.

Storyline/My Thoughts: Cowboy Wolf Christmas originally appeared in the Shifter and Mistletoe Anthology, which I never got a chance to read. When I realized Kait was rereleasing it, I jumped at the chance to read it. First, because Silas was getting his book and he used to be a part of the Wild Eight, but because Cheyenne was the lucky gal that would have Silas falling to his knees for her. Silas would also be the lucky guy winning over Cheyenne’s heart.
I love stories where the MMC is grumpy, and the FMC is all sunshine; that is precisely what Silas was to Cheyenne. You know these two are going to clash. They were complete opposites of each other. Silas thought he would never fit into the wolf pack because he used to be the pack’s enemy, but Cheyenne knew better. She knows he fits right in with them.

These two together were electric in every kind of way. Yes, Silas thought he was horrible for Cheyenne, and Cheyenne thought that Silas would have the same feelings as everyone else when it came to some males thinking she was weird. Both couldn’t be more wrong about what they were thinking of each other. These two were made for each other. I’ve said that with every pairing that Kait has done for the Seven Range Shifter series, but these two were meant to be in every possible way.

I loved how Kait Ballenger has an Autistic Rep FMC in this book and how Cheyenne reminded me of my nephew and niece, who both have Asperger’s Syndrome. (I love my nephew and niece; they grew up too fast on me, but I remember when they were little and how people used to treat them. It broke my heart. The two sweetest kids are now adults, which I can’t friggin’ believe since it was yesterday I was visiting them with my oldest, and they were in diapers.) It broke my heart how others treated Cheyenne because they didn’t understand her. I loved how Silas handled things when it came to her. He may be a grumpy jerk, but when it came to Cheyenne, he was very protective of the sweet mechanic, especially when other pack members chose to give her a hard time.

How about those steamy moments between Mr. Grumpy Pants and Miss Sweet Sunshine? I’ll give you some quotes from the book to give you hints about how they were together.

“It’s okay baby, I’ve got you,” he whispered against her. “We don’t finish until you’re satisfied.”

“You’re the only kind of dessert I want to eat.”

“I mean I want to take you raw, bare, right here against this counter, sweetheart.” He drew back, spreading her legs wide. “Fill you up with a different kind of sugar.”

Silas, you dirty talker, how can Cheyenne resist those words out of your mouth?

I promise you that this book has a storyline, and I was not just there falling for the characters, but how can you not fall for them?

If you are looking for a story with wolf shifters that have to fight vampires and sometimes other wolf shifters, this series is for you. It’s also during Christmas, so this book will put you in the Christmas mood, even when it is released around Halloween. Refer to the quote of Silas above, where he mentions filling a confident female wolf shifter up with sugar. =)

Overall, this book gets 4.5-stars from me, and I will wait for Kait to release another book anxiously. =)

Standalone or Part of Series: It’s part of the Seven Range Shifter series, but can be read as a standalone. (You’ll miss out on the other characters in the series, though, if you skip those books.)

Steam/Spice: 🌶 🌶 🌶

Trope(s)/Element(s): Grumpy MMC + Sunshine FMC. Autistic Rep FMC. One Bed. Wolf Shifter Cowboy. Mechanic FMC. All the Christmas Feels w/ Vampires and Shifters Oh My.

HEA: Yes.

Would I recommend this book/series? Yes. If you are a fan of Paranormal Romance, this series is for you. Imagine the show Yellowstone but the characters turn into shifters. (These books came before the show Yellowstone though.)

I loved the Seven Range Shifter series and was happy to be back on the ranch, however brief, for this novella length book, Cowboy Wolf Christmas. Full of Christmas cheer, along with the signature action, suspense and steamy romance from the original series, this was great for a quick holiday read.

Let me just say before I give a brief summary how much I loved this book! When grumpy Silas‘s tasked going on a short trip with Cheyenne he isn’t happy about it but what are his choices. He is still new to the pack and when Maverick tells him he must bring the autistic mechanic to Missoula at first he says an adamant no but knowing he must prove himself as a new member and because is the fact it was an order and not a suggestion he does it. Not only will this trip bring them closer together it may just give Silas a little Christmas spirit. It was so much fun reading about grumpy Silas an autistic Cheyenne together again and this time they get so close, Silas actually sounds a little bit happy. I love this book and thought this was the perfect romance for Christmas. An absolutely joy filled Christmas romance. I received this book from NetGalley and the publisher but I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.

This is a novella in the Seven Range Shifters series that was previously released in Previously published in anthology Shifters and Mistletoe. So if you read that, you have already read this story-it's just available on it's own now! It can absolutely be read as a standalone but I recommend the other books in the series as well just because the characters are great characters. Silas Buck is a new member to the pack and he isn't happy that he has been tasked with protecting the mechanic on the way to pick up parts that they need. And when he finds out she is a woman, and a beautiful one at that, he is even less pleased. But they are forced to spend time together when they are caught in a snow storm and forced to take shelter. And it just happens to be in his family's old cabin. But when Cheyenne needs help to keep her autism under control, he steps up and helps her and is forced to face his own misconceptions.

I absolutely loved this story! Silas and Cheyenne both have struggles with their pasts and how it has affected their present. But they quickly find out that they have more in common than they thought. And that they are complete each other in ways that they weren't looking for or even expecting. I loved that a character with Autism was written in such a way that she wasn't portrayed as having something wrong with her. She just is and there is nothing wrong with that! I think that made the book even better in my opinion! It is a short, quick read but well worth it!
