Baby, I'm Howling for You by Christine Warren

Baby, I'm Howling for You (Alphaville, #1)

by Christine Warren

Renny Landry is a wolf on the run. Pursued by a shapeshifting stalker and his slobbering pack of killer coyotes, she is forced to flee her job as a librarian to find sanctuary in the wooded hills of Alpha, Washington. A well-secluded safe space for troubled shifters, Alpha is Renny's last hope. But the first person she meets there is a gorgeous alpha male with fiery eyes, fierce tattoos, and one ferocious appetite--for her...Mick Fischer thought he left his past behind when he moved to Alpha. But fate has a way of biting him in the tail when a female wolf shows up on his property. Wounded, desperate--and disarmingly hot--Renny brings out the snarling, protective alpha beast in Mick like no other woman he's known. Can these two haunted, hunted wolves manage to mate for life...even as the deadliest past demons howl at their heels?

I liked it...well, sorta, kinda, nearly liked it...

I really liked the storyline and thought the characters were interesting. My biggest problem with Baby, I'm Howling For You was that it was too long and overly descriptive. I didn't see anything new in this paranormal romance and waited unsuccessfully for it to suck me in. Unfortunately, it was overly descriptive and each plot point, conversation and sex scene lost me halfway through it. I'm reading about how he wants to kill her stalker and by the end of the paragraph, I've planned what I'm having for dinner.

I even skimmed the sex scenes...THE HORROR!! Sure, I know they're newly mated and they can't control themselves, but it was the same sex over and over and over again. I didn't feel like the couple progressed past their initial lust. Their "love" was more a tick in the box of what a mated couple is supposed to feel.

Like I said, the characters and the storyline were interesting and I did finish the story. I loved the people of Alphaville and what they stood for. Meeting Molly, Zeke and Jaeger kept me coming back for more and in some ways, their "scenes" was the highlight for me. It's just not my favourite style of writing. I have a friend who is horrified that I mostly read stories that take a day to read. He loves the overly descriptive ones that take days or even weeks to read and is CONVINCED I'm missing out. So, definitely don't judge this book on my opinion alone. Check out other reviews and you may find that Baby, I'm Howling For You is perfect for you.
