BELIEVE: Gray Wolf: Book Twenty-Five

by Mary Kennedy

It's time for the old guard to completely retire but Matthew and Irene have one more mission for them. It won't be a typical mission but rather something they've craved and didn't even know it. Mixed in with the holiday surprises, are new babies, new adventures, and even new animals. For one member of the team, Christmas will bring love. Belle Fleur never disappoints at the holiday season and with everyone pitching in to make it a holiday season they won't forget, things are about to get interesting.

Although it's the end of the crazy missions and adventures of Gray Wolf, the Legacy team is ready to take over in the new year and bring some magic of their own to the team.

Reviews

[Darcy · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you are in a down mood, or feeing bad about the world, this is a great book to read. It shows what we all should be like and sure I know this is fiction and the author has set this family up to have lots of wealth beyond measure, some monetary, but more in family and friends, so it's easy for them. But what I really liked about this one was how fun the seniors had will helping so many others. This one season really helped them transition from working to really retiring this time. You can see how they will take these feelings and run with new ideas on how to make things better next holiday season and every day in between.

Once again, the holiday season is both magical and angelic for the folks at Belle Fleur. Love, generosity, kindness, and courage abound. A new baby doesn't hurt either. A transition is taking place as the original Gray Wolf Team retires (or so they say) and the former leadership prepares to take over the Legacy Gray Wolf team. All hands are on deck to ensure that the local community has a happy Christmas with assistance from elves and angels where needed.

Great!

I chose this rating because this was a really good book. I enjoyed pretty much all of the characters. This was a book of sharing, giving back, and understanding. I enjoyed Matthew and Irene's last mission. I loved the way the Robicheaux families come together and help their fellow man during this time of the year. The author did an amazing job with these characters. Amazing read, I recommend this book to all romance readers and mystery lovers.

Beautiful

Beautiful is the best word for this story. The Christmas season is hard for some folks and the Gray a wolf team made it better. This story gives you all the wonderful things about the holidays we sometimes take for granted.

holiday feels

Sometimes its not about action, violence and catching bad people. Sometimes a holiday read filled with all the good feelings can be enough. It’s what this book is about.
