Yours Mine and Howls Werewolves in Love Series Book 2 edition by Kinsey W Holley Paranormal Romance eBooks

Yours, Mine and Howls wasn’t my thing. While I love all the usual trope characteristics that go along with the werewolf sub-genre (fighting, mating bond, pack hierarchy, different and usually more brutal culture, and action), I was uncomfortable with the autocratic, dictatorial nature of the pack structure in this book.

Cole (one of the Cole/Cade/Caleb/Chase group of heroes) is the Alpha of the wolf pack that the heroine, Ally, goes to live with. She, her cousin, their roommate, and her adoptive son arrive at Cole’s home because he’s the adoptive son’s uncle. There’s a long story behind this that is partially in the blurb and in other reviews, but this is the basis of the relationships.

Cole is autocratic to the extreme. In this universe the alpha doesn’t apologize for a decision, say I love you (“me, too”), lean on anyone, tolerate any difference of opinion expressed in their presence, doles out orders without any pretense of civility, lose their tempers frequently, and try to kill close friends. This is tolerated and expected by the other characters so I understand that these characteristics are part of the world building in this book. It made me uncomfortable and I didn’t enjoy his character. 99% of werewolf heroes aren’t my personal type, but that doesn’t usually stop me from enjoying the romance. Cole was just too dictatorial, which is different from arrogant, for me.

Ally is presented as a female alpha, but goes the usual way of such characters. She has her plucky moments, the hero confronts her, and she backs down even though she knows he’s being unreasonable. Ally calls Cole on this once, he refuses to apologize, and she just lets it go.

As an example of Cole’s behavior, he seduces Ally, which forms the mating bond without telling her about the bond. When Ally wakes up the next morning she is embarrassed both everyone in the house knows they had sex and because since she didn't know she is Cole's mate she misunderstood something he said and stupidly decides to run off. Despite being warned that Ally is embarrassed and that she is out of her element in another culture, when Cole finds her suitcase packed he doesn’t talk to her, certainly doesn’t say she’s his mate, yells at her, forces her cousin to obey him and help keep Ally a prisoner (thus putting both in their places), and locks her into her room until he decides to let her out. He laughs at her justifiable anger when he locks her in and tells his second in command “I’m not gonna keep her locked up for long, Michael. Just…for a while.” After he deals with some plot he thinks: “Maybe he should try to talk to her…Hell no. Let her stew.” There are absolutely no repercussions for this. He apologizes for hurting her feelings by making it sound like she didn’t have a chance with him, but not for locking her up or binding her to him without her consent.

As I said before, this is not my thing and I didn’t enjoy the book. I'm giving it two stars because the writing was fine and there weren't any obvious typos.

4 stars

This was a very good story. Ally and Cade are both great and I really liked them together. The story is interesting with a lot of unknowns that don't come out until the end. It kept me engaged until the end, not wanting to stop until I knew all.

Ally is a great heroine. She's strong, smart and caring. She lost her parents at an early age and then, when she was 16, she also lost her aunt that was raising her. She lived on her own and helped her cousin, Gracie, look after her 5 year old son, Dylan. When things go terribly wrong, Gracie ends up dead and Ally (while trying to protect Dylan) is killed as well. Fortunately, through intervention by a higher being, Ally is brought back and when she does she has the abilities like an Alpha werewolf (although she can't shift). She raises Dylan as her own (along with their cousin Seth) until Dylan is 18. Around this time, they find out who Dylan's family is on his father's side and Ally, Seth, Dylan and a friend and roommate named Declan, go to Colorado so Dylan can meet his uncle.

Cade is an Alpha werewolf but his pack in newly reformed and hasn't been "recognized" by the other packs in the country...something he's trying hard to accomplish. He has a young daughter, Becca, who's mom isn't in the picture and for some unknown reason he has trouble keeping a nanny. On top of this all, he has a nephew he didn't know he had, coming to visit and bringing strangers with him, which Cade isn't real happy about. I liked Cade but he does start things out behaving like a bit of a jerk. He does have some reasons though as Ally, Dylan, Seth and Declan all seem to be keeping secrets from him, making him rather uncomfortable and annoyed, which isn't a good state for the Alpha of a pack.

When Ally, Dylan, Seth and Declan arrive, things are tense at first. Cade expects obedience as an Alpha and Ally is used to being the boss of their little group so there's an instant conflict between them. It also doesn't help that they're both attracted to each other. Cade doesn't like being attracted to a woman he doesn't know if he can trust and keeps threatening to throw her off his land. Ally is used to being strong and doesn't like how she melts whenever Cade's around (which usually just makes her fight it and fight taking Cade's orders). They clash multiple times as Cade tries to get to the bottom of things that don't make sense to him. Ally also is troubled by the fact that it feels as though Cade is "stealing" Seth and Dylan from her, as he becomes their Alpha and they have to follow his orders and this messes with her relationship with them. This upsets her, making her feel sad and alone, especially when he keeps threatens to make her leave his land and Dylan and Seth, who are her only family. Fortunately, Cade soon stops threatening to make her leave as he realizes she's his mate and he actually wants her there but he starts pushing even more to get to the bottom of what Ally and crew aren't telling him. Since Cade doesn't tell Ally that she's his mate, it does cause some additional conflicts between them until it finally comes out.

Things get even more complicated when Becca's grandmother (on her mother's side) shows up unexpectedly and it isn't a welcome visit as she's threatened to try to take Becca away from Cade in the past. An Alpha from another pack goes loco and causes problems for their pack, including an attack that injures Cade and Ally is forced to use her abilities to save his life. There are also family secrets that Cade doesn't know about and they start coming out as the drama unfolds. In general, there are a lot of twists and turns in the story and multiple bad guys or possible bad guys that make things interesting and hard to predict. Cade and Ally do work things out between them and end up being a great couple that I really liked seeing together. They have to fight through some drama as secrets come out and unexpected things happen but they come through it well. Once everything gets settled, Ally and Cade get to start their well deserved HEA.

This was a very good story. I really liked Ally and Cade and the secondary characters in the story. I also liked the twists and turns because it kept things interesting. I'm looking forward to book 3 in the series. I'd recommend this book. Thumbs up! D
Ally Kendall knew the moment she died and came back to life that her one focus was raising her nephew Dylan. She did not know where her life would lead, but rolled with the punches which has led her to seeking out Cade MacDougall, Alpha and Uncle to Dylan with her cousin and friend in tow she is not sure what will come next.

It doesn't take long for Cade to realize he has met his mate, but she is nothing like he would have expected. She acts like an alpha, has secrets and unnatural abilities he can't explain, and has formed an attachment to his daughter who thinks she is a cat. With his enemies striking out and some unexpected visitors, Cade's hands are full especially with Ally's interference, but he wouldn't have it any other way.

This was a reread for me, but I chose to reread because I did not have a review and I had forgotten most of the story. This is a great shifter story, has some unusual twists and historic aspects to the shifter legends which was intriguing. Loved Cade and Ally she is feisty and he is arrogant, they clash, they storm around one another, and they sizzle off the pages when they come together.
