Sweet, spicy and sizzling! This holiday novella featuring Marcus and Samara is awesome because we get to catch up with all the members of the Wolf Pack and it is hilarious. This Christmas Samara has a secret to share with Marcus and she does it in a big, big way! Absolutely loved this!

I enjoyed the sexy love between Marcus and Samara. The other couples and family updates felt rushed and superficial. The descriptions of wealth and extravagance were distracting and significantly altered my perceptions of the personalities of many of the characters that I'd come to admire.

If this is your first Maureen Smith book don't read it! Go to the beginning of the series, start with Treacherous and enjoy all that came before the Oh Baby novella.

I have been and will continue to be a Maureen Smith fan however this Wolfpack installment fell short for me.

Good update but over the top

The story was good. Loved hearing about the Wolfe pack, but the extravagance was too unrealistic and took away from the storyline. Ms. Smith is also drifting away from the realism I liked about her characters and making them seem mythical and too perfect.

Disappointed

I wasted my time and money on this book. The story line could have been included in the next promised Wolf pack book.

Nicely done! Marcus and Samara were my introduction to the Wolf Pack, so it was nice to check in with them and see how they're doing after 10 years of marriage. Love their little family! It was also great to catch up with the rest of the Wolf Pack and to get updates on the Morehouse Nine. And the peek at Nadia and Reed was a nice bonus.

The teases about potential new relationships for Magnum and Montana were nice, but a little bittersweet since we have no idea how long both series will be on hiatus. Not all that thrilled with Derek's new fiancee, but hopefully this clears the way for Mason to end up with a bride who can join the 'Chocolate Wives' Club', as Reese called it, instead of the ScarJo lookalike the author said she was contemplating.

Anyway, thanks for this novella. I've been anxiously waiting on something (anything!) from this crew, so this is greatly appreciated. Crossing my fingers and toes that the author's muse swings back this way, so that we get a story from either the Wolf Pack or the Morehouse Nine sometime in the near future!

Nice read

I always enjoy this writer's work. I love her style and imagination. While it was nice to be updated on the Wolf Pack saga, couldn't these updates been included in another sequel of the Wolf Pack series e.g Magnum's story, or something of the Morehouse 9. I am thinking that there is no inspiration to complete the Wolf pack series,or start the Morehouse 9. If so, very sad.

The Wolf Pack is Back

Maureen never disappoints! Oh Baby is a sexy novella that catches us up on the lives of our favorite Wolf Pack family. Set around the holidays, it features Samara and Marcus, and her big Christmas secret.

Definitely worth the read and makes you remember why you fell in love with this family all those years ago.

Wonderful

What an awesome update of the Wolf Pack family and friends. As usual Maureen did it. It was nice to read all the new happenings for this family and possibly new love interest for others. Well worth the wait.

Oh how I love the Wolf men!!! After all these years, Marcus and Samara still has the love and chemistry. Marcus is still the Alpha male we fell in love with and Samara is still the sassy independent soul we remember. I love how her and Asha have been able to repair their relationship.

Love sweet Love

Samara and Marcus had sustained their relationship for more then 9 yrs and counting! Samaria has a secret and she wants to do something special for Marcus and reveal the secret during The family gathering at Christmas. Ms Maureen Smith writes a dynamite ,entertainment,joyful family novel. This story is centered around The wolf family and how they all come together as a one ,can't get enough of this family. Ms Smith I know u cannot write about everyone but sure would enjoy a short novel about Maya and Zora...... can't wait for the next Wolf pack novel.

Loved it

Any fan of Maureen Smith's knows that she doesn't publish books quickly..you have to wait a year or more for a book and it's always worth the wait..and then some. This one was no different.

This quick update and reveal for Marcus and Samara was awesome. Her elaborate production for the baby reveal was inspiring. As always,the sex was hot and seeing that everyone I loved catching up the Wolf pack and friends. It's like a visit to visit old friends.

Great read. I never doubted that it would be an awesome short and she didn't disappoint.

Oh Baby Wolf Pack 9 WTW

Book 9 was worth the wait and all the hype. The story hit the spot for me. This was a revisit from the first couple from book one with Samara and Marcus. In the story, we get to see how 9 years of loving one another brings about a new challenge for their family. I loved seeing the Wolfe brothers, their wives, the large number of kids, all the family members and old friends... This was a nice sexy love story about one of my favorite Morehouse men.

Need more!

Ugh I am literally obsessed with the Wolf Pack so this was just a tease. A good tease, but still a tease, none the less. I'm ready to here more about Prissy's other kids or something! I loved the tie in of Reid and Nadia!

You feel the love the couples have for each other and the joy in being around each member. You also get treated to some intriguing beginnings for other characters and I cannot wait to read their stories!

A nice update.

This was a lovely novella. It is enough of a read to keep you occupied on a back and forth commute, while waiting in a doctors office or just before bedtime for relaxing. It provides a update on the Wolf pack and friends. A must for fans of the series.
