This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

What a grumpy wolf! Silas has a rough past and even though he is now in a better pack, he is still not feeling part of the pack which makes him really grouchy, and he just can't believe that anyone can be as genuinely happy as Cheyenne is!

When they are thrown together (and we later learn this was intentional...lol) they learn more about each other and their personal struggles.

Along with their budding romance, there is a lot of drama going on and growth as they move from past hurts. Great HEA and looking forward to more of these wolf shifters!

I requested this book from netgalley as an arc and I was one of the lucky ones to get the chance to read it first. I received this arc via netgalley for an honest review. I requested it because anything with Christmas and shifters close to the holidays, I love. Two of my faves in one book. It did not disappoint. It is beautifully written combining all the elements of Christmas, finding love and working to see that you deserve it, and loving your partner as they are. This book allso brings you a female MC, Cheyenne, that is high functioning autistic which was a first and welcome surprise to me. It illustrates some of the struggles that persons with autism go through as adults. I loved how beautifully it was all woven through the story and how Silas, male MC, dealt with the instances in which Cheyenne struggled with processing their struggles/difficulties they face. I wanted to mention it in my review because you don’t really have authors that illustrate or have MCs with mental disabilities and I believe it’s important to write about them because it’s important we can see ourselves in the characters of the books we love and have others see us as more than our disability. My nephew is on the autistic spectrum and books such as this one will not only educate others and give him stories in which he seems himself. ( books appropriate for kids lol which this is not - 18 plus only) I fully recommend this sweet Christmas shifter story.

This was my first book by Kat Ballenger and I will be reading more! I loved this sweet read. It's a story of two outsiders, one by choice and one by genetics, finding love and solace in each other. I really enjoyed both Silas and Cheyenne. If you want a cute, story with a grumpy but good hearted hero who feels judged and a sunshiny heroine who is used to being left on the outskirts because of her autism, werewolves, some occasional vamps, and some Christmas cheer, this is the book for you!

Silas Buck doesn't like Christmas and is called to the pack master for an assignment right at Christmas. He must take the resident mechanic Cheyenne to get a part off a snowplow and return before the yearly Christmas run.

Cheyenne is a little different from the other wolf shifters and keeps to herself. She has already had a run in with Silas.

They end up snowed in at Silas's old family cabin. When they return to headquarters the others have left for the run and nobody seems to be in control of the camp.

Short hot read. Loved all the Seven Range Shifters.

I LOVED this story! This is a quick grumpy/sunshine tale that left me with a silly grin. This story proves that acceptance is an aphrodisiac. Both Silas and Cheyenne feel ostracized for different reasons but find acceptance and love in each others arms.

This is a short novella length addition to the Seven Range Shifter series though it can be read as a stand alone

It is the story of Grey Wolf Silas Buck a new member to the ranch and pack, He isn't very happy when he is tasked with protecting the packs mechanic on the way to pick up parts he is even less happy when he discovers she is one of the most gorgeous females he has ever seen. When a snow storm traps them he will have to use all his skills as he tires to help her as her autism causes her to react. Can these two form a bond You will have to read to see

Cowboy Wolf Christmas by Kait Ballenger
Seven Range Shifters series book 4.5. Paranormal wolf shifter, diverse, romance novella. Can be read as a stand-alone.
Silas has given his loyalty to the Grey Wolf Pack but he knows that he’s not trusted. When he’s told to take Cheyenne to pick up car parts and to take care of her, he takes the instructions seriously. That he’s attracted to Cheyenne should have no impact on his decisions, right?

Fast moving and plenty of action, this novella packs a lot into the pages. From dealing with her autism and his feeling undeserving of pack loyalty to attacking vampires, a snowstorm and an attraction that neither want to deny, it’s a steamy and full two days.

Release date 10/25/22. Previously published in anthology Shifters and Mistletoe 12/07/2021.

I received a copy of this from NetGalley.

Who doesn't love a holiday romance full of compassion and secrets? The characters had you invested and the story was compelling. A great read!

I loved this story about a relatively new member of the Grey Wolf pack and Cheyenne, a mechanic with autism. Having a daughter on the spectrum, it was lovely reading about her abilities and coping mechanisms. Silas was grumpy but kind and supportive to her. He helped when she was confused about his communication and he demonstrated patience and compassion. Such a lovely read!

Silas is a wolf, a grumpy one but still a wolf, when he’s ordered to guard the packs mechanic he is not pleased. When he finds out it’s the sexiest mechanic he’s ever met he’s really not happy. There’s just something about her. Action packed and a great read.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own

This is a wonderful story! Cheyenne is autistic. It has it's drawbacks but she is a strong capable wolf. Rules has his own limitations from past events. Losses. This is such a heartfelt story. Their story.
