About the author
Anna Lowe
123 books501 followersUSA Today and Amazon best-selling author Anna Lowe loves putting the "hero" back into heroine and letting location ignite a passionate romance. She likes a heroine who is independent, intelligent, and imperfect — a woman who's doing just fine on her own. But give the heroine a good man (not to mention a chance to overcome her own inhibitions) and she'll never turn down the chance for adventure, nor shy away from danger.
On any given weekend, you might find her hiking in the mountains or hunched over her laptop, working on her latest story. Either way, the day will end with a chunk of dark chocolate and a good read.

Even the Grinch could be enjoying himself.
Quick read, fluff and Christmas in a great combo.

I LOVED catching up with the wolf shifters of Twin Moon.
Carly who was raised in another pack by her Mom and stepfather in California comes home for Christmas, yet she dreads it because all of her siblings are mated and have children of their own. She's single and plans on staying that way. Her relationship with her father is rocky, so needless to say, she's looking forward for the week to go by quickly so she can go home. What she doesn't expect to see is how her nieces and nephews have made the once curmudgeon Alpha that she and her siblings once feared, smile and soften. I LOVED revisiting the wolves of Twin Moon Ranch. Reading about Kyle and Stef and their new baby. Seeing how happy Tina is with her mate Rick and their plans for their future. Watching Cody and Heather in marital bliss. Getting to share Rae and Zack's happy moment into their future. And Lana finally see her mate, Ty, the stubborn Alpha, finally delegate tasks to other pack members so he can make time for his family.
It was a great read.

A special, short and sweet novel celebrating Christmas with The Wolves of Twin Moon Ranch who we came to know and love. They are all happily mated and have found peace and contentment after all their trials and tribulations.
We catch up on all our favourite characters during the festive season, and get a glimpse of something wonderful awaiting Zack and Rae (a heartfelt moment!! ). Tyrone surprises us when he shows his softer side while unwrapping gifts with his grandchildren.
An enjoyable short read filled with love for family and friends, during a season that brings us all together.
Loved it!

Love this series! This is a short and sweet look at the different couples of this series during Christmas time. It's great to see how all the couples are doing, and to see their families growing. I really like all of the couples. There's chapters with each couple, and each story is sweet with some steam to them. This book is great for anyone of loves this series! Excited to read more from Anna Lowe!

Just a nice way to catch up with all the mated couples and more introduction on Carly. Nothing really exciting, but a nice slice of life into the wolves. It was nice to see that kids do take time away from the parents and that there is a challenge in getting time alone. Also, it was nice to see the big alpha male show some emotion.
On to Carly's story then.

Sweet little story featuring all of the Twin Moon mates and shifters. Happy to see old Tyrone crack his shell a bit
Merry Christmas to all the shifters we’ve met to date in the series so far. I loved the last scene with the old alpha and his grandkids. I could only hope that someday he gets his happily ever after, hint hint!

Charming
This is a sweet and charming Christmas story that gives a peek into the lives of the main characters of the earlier books in this series. You get to see where the characters lives have gone, and the next generation of children. It's a warm family celebration where even a grumpy grandpa finds a moment of peace and joy.

I loved the chance to catch a glimpse of all the happy Twin Moon couples and their families. Sweet story of love and laughter despite some family conflict with the old alpha, and even that had a surprise ending. If you haven't read the books in this series you get to get them right now. Go on, get to it.

Good read
Wonderful to catch up with all the different couples from the series. Reading about the couples and all the children having a touching Christmas and the children yet to come is a great addition to the series. I would recommend this story to any adult reader that enjoys sexy shifter romances.

Series: The Wolves of Twin Moon Ranch #4.5
Rating: 3 stars - I liked it
This was a short Christmas novella that checked in with all the previous couples. Each couple gets a chapter or two of what their Christmas day is like and Carly gets to see her grouchy father in a new light. I liked that we finally got to see Rae and Zack’s wish start to come true.

Great catch up Break
This short story was a great catch up about the Hawthorne children. What was most enjoyable about this book is to read that even a curmudgeon retired Alpha wolf falls under the spell of grandchildren.
