About the author
Quinn Loftis
77 books5,967 followersHello, Readers. My name is Quinn Loftis and I am lucky enough to call myself a novelist. In 2011, I self-published my first novel, Prince of Wolves with no expectations, other than my friends and family might purchase the book out of pity. Now, several years later, with 30+ novels and counting under my belt, Prince of Wolves had been downloaded over 1 million times. Though I was hesitant at the time to submit my work to the world for their scrutiny, I'm so glad I did. It made my dream of making a living by telling stories a reality.
I'm blessed to share my household my wonderful husband of more than twenty years (who also co-writes with me on occasion), three beautiful sons, a French Bulldog, and an oversized tabby cat.

A Grey Wolves Howliday felt like a family reunion for Christmas. As I was reading, I experienced feelings of joy at seeing members of my book family and sadness at missing those who had gone on. I laughed lots at the antics of the three amigas and shed a silent tear or two when we paused together to honor the fallen. I sat in my reading corner observing the growth and adjustment to new roles. I searched for new members of the family then was reminded that the reunion was limited to the Romanian Pack and did not include the Gypsy Healers.
As I tend to do, I let my mind revisit the book during the night hours and in my sleep. Early in the morning, I understood what it was that was begging me to see. In the last 3 books, Alpha Rising, The Warlock Queen and A Grey Wolves Howliday, the author, Quinn Loftis, did what many authors do not do. She pulled back the veil for the reader to EXPERIENCE the in between. A HEA book doesn't do that. With most HEA, you follow a formula. The main characters meet, feel attraction, face life altering challenges, overcome them and live HEA. You don't usually see the time between the overcoming and HEA. There is a reason for that. The in between time is a roller coaster of loss, pain, growth, acceptance, more growth, adjustments, joy, love, vision, support...etc. etc. Loftis brings you to the in between time and makes you FEEL every single emotion associated with that time. She gives you enough hope accompanied by laughter to keep you moving onward. You don't get to skip forward 10 years past the pain, past the silence, past anything. You move through it, resting when needed. Laughing when needed. Swearing when needed.
With Jen,Jacque,Sally, Peri, Thia, Slate, Titus, Decebel, Fane, and Costin you get a ton of laughs and their normal sexual innuendos. With Bethany and Drake, you get hope and more laughs. With Zara and Wadim you get great romantic feels, sexual tensions, and even more laughs. Jen is in rare form. Well she always is.
A Grey Wolves Howliday is not a stand alone novel. It is Book 14 in a series. While some of those books and the accompanying novellas can be read on their own. This one cannot. It is for family. Thank you, Quinn, for making me family. I loved this book and look forward with some trepidation to Book 15. Meanwhile, I am reaching for your many other great series like the nature hunters, Vikings, and elves.

I had the incredible honor to be an ARC reader and it is another outstanding book by Quinn Loftis! If you haven't read this series I highly recommend it. I of course recommend starting from book 1 and working your way through so it all makes sense.
Quinn made me laugh and cry and do a combination of the two.
I don't know how she puts all these emotions together and makes it work but she does!
Merry Christmas y'all, Christmas in July that is!!!!
Jingle hell, jingle hell and headless wolf cookies included!!!!
Read this book, read them all!

I hated so many things, and I’m still so trash for this book.
I literally cannot even comprehend it.

Holly holiday!!! Quinn has done it again!!! No surprise there tho. First off you have to memorize the new version of the 12 days of Christmas cause it will shock everyone who hasn't read this book lmao. This is one of the funniest books out of the series. I was laughing so hard I might have peed not sure lol. This is what we needed after Alpha Rising and Warlock Queen. Even though there was tears it was tears of joy and laughter. Was so excited with the ending that I can't wait for the next book even though the happy feeling will leave and the evil returns. The pack is together happy and the Alpha pair are starting to show their strength.

Sometimes we get so enamored in a series and become so lost with the characters we forget to laugh. When an entire cast is within the depths of grief, we join them in tears. But Grey Wolves Howliday gives us a chance to laugh and spit our milk through our noses. It takes us back to remembering why we fell in love with these characters and keeps us wanting more. And though we know challenges are coming, we get a chance to breath, laugh and love with our favorite beings. And of course Jen, lol.

I'm not even sure, once again, where to begin. I guess I can start out by saying this was a homerun, a touchdown, a 3-pointer, a hole in one... you get the picture.
The last couple books in the series have been super heavy. Amazing, but heavy on the heartbreak. Howlidays gives us a bit of a reprieve, and gives all our characters one too. I talked about Alpha Rising being a book of healing but THIS was actually healing. While there were moments that I teared up, that's what made it feel realistic. We all know heartbreak, and feeling like we can't go on. But as this book shows us, in time, it still hurts but breathing gets easier. The characters showcase this very thing.
Jen once again takes the sarcastic comedy to new heights. It was Jaq and Sally encouraging and also making fun of Jen, that made it feel like the first few books in the series. It focused on the 3 of them again, and it was good to be reunited with our favorite girls. I loved how they unconditionally have each other's back. I love that the mates, while filled with anxiety over their newest antics, unconditionally support them.
The strength and unity in the pack was heartwarming and uplifting. I am in awe at Fanes ability to step into Vasiles shoes, and they're huge shoes to fill, and lead the pack. The love and support of the entire pack, standing behind Fane. It's inspiring.
Fane, Dec, and Costin. OMG. The BEST PART!! The fact that all of Jens antics were directed at them and they went with it every time 😂😂 it was pure gold.
I cant gush enough about this book. I laughed so much. Jen and girls always crack me up. So dang much! Truly. It was just what we needed.

There are very few series I follow beyond 3 books and even fewer I stick with beyond 5-6. This is one of two that will always bring me right back in. I've taken breaks from the series and always found myself curious about these characters again. I enjoy the way Loftis writes and circle back to her books for my backlog when I need a break from the other genres I read.
Howliday is a nice refreshing break from the heartache and heaviness that the last installments of this series carried.
The characters finally have time to breathe and remember what joy and laughter feel like. They get to experience a normal holiday surrounded by those they love and get to feel that love returned. It is remembering those that had fallen but not feeling consumed by the grief; if only just by a bit. It is about showing the youth how to carry on and celebrate life when trouble brews on the horizon. It is about being together as pack and knowing they are stronger for it.
Thank you to Quinn for allowing me to review an advanced copy. I really enjoyed it.

“A Grey Wolves Howliday,” by Quinn Loftis is the fourteenth book in The Grey Wolves series. I have been following this author since the beginning, about ten years ago when I discovered the book that started it all, “Prince Of Wolves”. Quinn’s style of writing is unique, you feel as though you are right there with the characters living in this amazing world she has created just for you. The book is in the Young Adult Category.
This book is emotional, tender and heartwarming. It had me laughing and crying. It takes a look at the core characters, who are the heart of the series, and the dynamics of their friendships and relationships. It cements the bond between the pack members, to face what comes next together. It touches upon relationships between children and their parents, which as we know can be difficult at times. It also brings in subtle ways the importance of open communication between couples. Quinn’s writing incorporates the supernatural as well as real life situations we can relate to in our own lives.
This book was a much needed reprieve from all the fighting/war they have faced in previous books. It was great to see them enjoying one another and celebrating all the missed occasions because of the turmoil and sadness they have endured prior to this lighthearted storyline. However, for Quinn’s followers we know that there is much more turmoil and heartbreak to come in future books.
But for now we get to see them celebrate their imperfectly perfect Christmas, solidify their amazing friendships, watch the characters grow and mature, watch the pups growing up, see the mated couples navigate the difficulty and joys of relationships, and laugh and cry along with the characters all in the amazing Romanian world of Gray Wolves that Quinn Loftis has poured her heart into for us to enjoy.
Without a doubt you will enjoy this book as much if not more than the previous books in the series. Quinn Loftis is a truly gifted author. The book was very well written and I can’t wait for the next one, even though I know it will be an emotional roller coaster for the characters as well as the readers.

********** Contains Spoilers**********
I rated this book 4.5 Stars, which I rounded up to 5 Stars. I’ve been a fan of Quinn’s Grey Wolves/Gypsy Healers Universe since I was first recommended and purchased Prince of Wolves on Amazon back in 2013. Vasile and Alina will be missed, but they left one hell of a legacy. I enjoyed this book, and thought it was perfect addition to the Grey Wolves Series as it was a slice of happiness before they have to protect those weaker than them, and save the world from the power hungry a*seholes in the Order of the Burning Claw. This book is filled with lots of Jen being her usual self, love and laughter. All I can say is that Jen is planning the celebrate pretty much every holiday/anniversary/birthday that they haven’t been able to celebrate due to being busy trying to rid the world of one evil being after another. Jen is in fine form during this book. The Jen cakes completely cracked me up, especially Bethany and Drake’s baby shower cake.
Sally and Costin’s son Titus totally steals the show. He’s a little genius and totally adorable. I really liked how Lucian, Decebel, Fane and Costin helped Adam when he was freaking out about him and Crina, as Crina has stopped touching him and he thinks that maybe Crina’s realised that she doesn’t want a Fae as a mate. They told him that what feels for her is absolutely normal, and not weird at all. Even if he knows down to the exact second how long they haven’t touched for. He sometimes just stares at her mouth. They told him that he needs to push back, and tell her that it’s hurting them both so she needs to stop shutting him out. The birth of Bethany and Drake’s daughter was pretty funny. I’m looking forward to reading the next book, and finding out how the Pack takes on the Order of the Burning Claw. I’d definitely recommend this book, series, universe and author to everyone.

This series has everything you could possibly ask for in a book series 😍 it's a total rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish, trust me!!! you will not want to put these books down. After reading the last two books and the torrent of emotions and heartache I experienced, I was more then ready to kick back with my snuggly blanket and hot chocolate and engroce myself into the Howliday cheer and chaos I was sure this book would bring and boy was I right!!!!
This book had me, not only howling with laughter, I also felt pride from how far these 3 BFFs have come and how strong there friendship really is. With this book we get a glimpse into the lives of a lot of the other characters, this I loved 😍 we have all grown to love each and every mated pair in this series and thanks to Quinn she's managed to touch base with them and I hope this continues into future books.
Without going into details Quinn actually brings up a memory from the first book Prince of wolves which has resulted in me starting the book series from the start again. A Grey Wolves Howliday Cheer was the perfect book, with lots of laughter, fun and memories to set you up for what I am sure is going to be an action packed next step in this amazing series, you will not be disappointed 🤗

It's another winner for Quinn Loftis... as always!
Every time that Quinn Loftis comes out with a new Grey Wolves book, I know that I am going to be blown away and I am very pleased to say I was not disappointed. A Grey Wolves Howliday was a welcome reprieve from the heaviness of the previous few books and the overarching story line as a whole and quite frankly it was needed so to prepare myself for what is to come. This story had me laughing hysterically throughout its entirety, while the joy and light heartedness of the plot is very reminiscent of the first few books in the series, getting to see the dynamic between Jacque, Jen and Sally together again sparing with one another as well as the whole big Romanian Grey Wolves family happy and whole.
I was very lucky to be chosen as an ARC reader for this book for the first time and I devoured it within a day as I do with every Quinn Loftis release. This instalment of the Grey Wolves Series really took me back and reminded me why I feel in love with this series in the first place as well as getting to see my absolute favourite couple Jacque and Fane take the lead. At the same time, the joy the children in the book bring me is lethal. It was a great opportunity to check in with each of the couples, including some who had faded into the background a little in recent books and to get extremely excited for things to come.

“A Grey Wolves Howliday” goes on a hilarious and wild ride with of Jacque, Jen, Sally, and the rest of the pack for an all around great christmas celebration. It makes connections to past books of the series, including novellas in a way that engages you to read further. As a long time “Grey Wolves” reader and fan, I couldn’t put the book down! Jen definitely had a lot to say in her very sarcastic and witty manner that just made me cry with laughter while reading, and watching Jacque, Sally, Crina, and so many more of the pack interact with Jen and each other was absolutely hysterical. I felt like I was in the book with all the characters going along on the wild ride. “Howliday” really gave me more insight on a lot of the main characters and how they deal with love and loss as well as learning more about themselves and their pack. There was tons of laughter and even some tears in certain scenes. I absolutely loved reading about how all the characters interacted with one another during such a strange time, as well as watching them cope with loss, celebrate life, and love with their entire beings. To top it all off, Quinn’s version of 12 Days of Christmas was absolutely hysterical! All in all, this book was absolutely amazing. This is a book well worth reading and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a good laugh and short little story outside the main plot of the series! Definitely must be read with the series, can’t be read as a stand-alone, but all in all amazing!

Quinn really has a way with words and making you feel like you’re right there amongst the characters laughing, crying and rolling your eyes with them. I loved how we got to experience a more laid back and festive setting in this book compared to some of the darker/save-the-world storylines we’ve had leading up to it and that I know will be following. There were some great character building moments and without spoiling anything you do get some hints to future character arcs that will have you jumping for joy.
Overall the storyline had me reminiscing about how the series started with Jacque meeting Fane and also her friendship dynamic with Jen and Sally. It is the relationships and characters that are the heart of this series and Quinn’s ability to have a reader be so invested in them and how captivating the entire Grey Wolves world is, proves how great of a writer she is.
I was lucky enough to be an ARC reader and this book does not disappoint. I know some tougher story lines are coming up and I can’t wait to continue along this journey with these characters. This was an absolute joy to read and I wish it didn’t need to end so soon.
If you’ve read and liked any of Quinn’s other GWS or Gypsy Healer Series books, you’ll love A Grey Wolves Howliday.
For the pack!

Outstanding! Like all of Quinn's books.
Oh my! I definitely felt my inner Jen while reading this one. I have been reading since the beginning with The Prince of Wolves, 10 years ago, and have enjoyed everything that she has written.
This book was such a sweet and welcome reprieve after the heartbreak and pain that we just went through in the previous books.
Jen gets the idea in her head that a celebration needs to take place, one that will go down in pack history. Between best friend antics, Bethany's pregnancy brain, and a random returned memory of the potty mouthed little Thia being dyed blue I didn't stop laughing till i finished the book.
I really enjoyed exploring the connections between some of the other characters. We have spent a good amount of time focusing on Fane & Jacque, Dec & Jen, Costin & Sally. What I haven't seen enough of is Sorin & Elle, Adam & Crina, Wadim & Zara. This book gave me such joy seeing the love bonding these couples together in times of joy instead of grief.
I was blessed once again with being an ARC reader for Quinn, and I am eternally grateful! I of course will be buying the book as well so I can reread the entire series many more times. Well done, and many blessings to you Quinn and Bo.

Before I start this review, let me say that if you have not read the Grey Wolf Series yet, what are you waiting for? Go purchase The Prince of Wolves and start on this adventure with us.
Quinn has once again hit it out the park with the newest book in this amazing series.
This was just what we needed after the heartbreak in the last couple books. The story of Jen planning a huge Christmas Party for the pack was what you would expect from jen, an adventure. I laughed so much while reading this and it made me remember why I fell in love with these books and these characters from the start.
The friendship between Jen, Jacque, & Sallly is one I wish I had the opportunity to experience. Now add in Perri, Bethany, Zara and the rest of the crew and it gets better. The love these wolves have for their mates is one that warms your heart and makes you wish that you could have your own wolf. The banter between Titus and Jen is priceless and I cant wait to see what the future holds for the three (now four) new wolf pups.
Thank you Quinn for being the amazing author you are and giving us these amazing books and wonderful characters we have all come to love and making us feel like we are a part of their pack.

This was just what we needed after the heartbreak in the last couple books. The story of Jen planning a huge Christmas Party for the pack was what you would expect from jen, an adventure. I laughed so much while reading this and it made me remember why I fell in love with these books and these characters from the start.
The friendship between Jen, Jacque, & Sallly is one I wish I had the opportunity to experience. Now add in Perri, Bethany, Zara and the rest of the crew and it gets better. The love these wolves have for their mates is one that warms your heart and makes you wish that you could have your own wolf. The banter between Titus and Jen is priceless and I cant wait to see what the future holds for the three (now four) new wolf pups.

It's always an honor to read any of Quinn Loftis's books especially as an ARC reader. I feel so blessed. I have also purchased the book as well. Because YES IT IS THAT GOOD. Just like all of her books Quinn somehow manages to make each one out of this world. I loved reading A Grey Wolves Howliday for a few reasons. One it was outright hilarious which if you have been keeping up has been long due after a lot of heavy reading. All needed of course and she knew after the last two books (Alpha Rising and The Warlock Queen) the pack both us and the Romanian pack needed to be lifted up. And wow did Quinn deliver. From devious plotting by Jen and some ninja training for Titus to cookies and sleighs and Santa's all over. This book is perfect for those summer Christmas time blues and you just can't stop reading until its over. There is so much love and laughter and joy in this book with the pack and all their members. The hijinks have you down right bellow laughing because these characters are more than hilarious. Between Jen and Zara and the girls rendition of songs you can't pass up this amazing book. Quinn also keeps the love flowing and lots of happy surprises are bound to make you giddy!!! ITS A MUST READ THAT I PROMISE YOU!!!!!!

Quinn has done it again! In "A Grey Wolves Howliday," Quinn gives us a look into our pack and what they are going through after the events of "Alpha Rising". We spend the holidays with our favorite characters as events unfold. She spends time flushing out the interpersonal relationships of the couples and friends we've grown to love over 14+ books. This novella is well paced and adds value to our characters' arcs in our storyline. Our protagonists are all feeling the weight of the war they are in and we get to explore each individual's progress as they cope in their own ways.
If you haven't had the opportunity to join the thousands of people who love Quinn Loftis' magical Canis Lupis world I would highly recommend you start. It's a thrill each time I get to dive back into the world she has created with characters I love dearly. She does a great job making each character relatable (even the baddies!). I devoured this book and I am starving for the next one. I can't wait to see what Quinn has up her sleeves.

First off if you haven't started this series, drop what your doing and grab Prince of Wolves and start your amazing journey today!!!
It's Christmas! Let the Jenaningans (see what I did there?) begin!!! A Grey Wolves Howliday was needed to heal our pack a little, see the love continuing and just an all around deep breath of fresh air after the utter heartbreak we have experienced recently.
The girls are bringing the crazy and the hot chocolate. We see new couples and their struggles and how they heal. We see a new pack dynamic and look into how these HBAWWM (hot badass werewolf men) handle the real emotions.
The laughs just kept coming!! Seriously spit out your drink funny. The sexy factor was amped up and our favorites seem to have matured a bit.
Titus was the star here. This is kid is amazing and I am excited to see how his "new friend" will fit into his life as well as his antics against his aunt Jen 😉
This book deserves more than 5 stars. I LOVED every single minute of it!!! Thank you Quinn Loftis for giving us Christmas in July

This book is just laughter from start to finish!
The Romanian wolves have had a very tough few years. They've had some great highs and some very bad lows. They have saved the world so many times at this point and unfortunately that means that stuff like birthdays, anniversary's and Christmas has gone by without any celebrations. Well since The Great Luna had given them 3 months of peace a certain blonde has decided that its time they celebrated all of the things they have missed.
She has put herself in charge of everyone (did we really expect anything different) and she wants everything to go perfect.
This book is something I didn't know I needed. I love all of the books and all of the drama they go through because unfortunately if it was all sunshine and flowers they just wouldn't be as perfect as they are, but I've been reading these books for years and I consider these characters as friends. So to see them getting time to relax and have fun and celebrate life was just amazing. I was really lucky to be an arc reader for this book!

Christmas came early this year, and I’m definitely not complaining! This book was funny and heartwarming from start to finish and a definite must-read for fans of the Grey Wolves Series.
One of my favorite things about the series is the idea of “pack.” Pack doesn’t have to be blood, but it is the people you would shed blood for. Pack is not perfect, but it doesn’t need to be. Life can get messy after all - especially for this group - but pack is there to help you through the struggle, the grief, and the heartbreak. This particular book reminded me of all of that, as it has some truly beautiful moments among the pack woven into the story.
In usual Quinn Loftis fashion, there are of course some teary-eyed moments in this book. But don’t fret! There are plenty of hilarious moments as well - I mean how can there not be when you get Jen and the other gals in a room together? So grab your hot chocolate, Oreos, and maybe just go ahead and put up your Christmas tree while you’re at it. You gotta set the mood, right? Jen would certainly approve. Enjoy!

It was a much needed reprieve.
This book was a ray of light in the sea of darkness that the previous books have been and, no doubt, the upcoming books will be. It was a reminder that even in times of hardship, there are still moments that make going through it, worth it. I really liked how the pack was able to keep up their comradery and comedic commentary even though they have been through shnizzle and know that more shnizzle is to come. Also, it was great to see the entire pack overcoming the death of Vasile and Alina in their own ways while also being able to depend on each other at the same time.
Quinn's writing will never cease to amaze me and I can't wait to jump right back into the world of the Grey Wolves in the next book. This time with a care package in hand, supplied with enough tissues in case this "butthole author" decides that our emotions need another round through the giant cheese grater known as the plot of her books.

My heart swells with joy after just finishing The Grey Wolves Howliday! Quinn as always has made you feel like you've stepped right into the world she has written and your there with the pack! There were lots of laughter and tears of joy reading this much needed celebration for the pack. They have been through so many trials and tribulations and needed a break from their hardship and a moment for everyone to catch their breath. To celebrate all the beautiful moments that has happened through their journey! Quinn has outdone herself again making her readers feel every emotion the characters have. She has given not just the characters a gift but her pack a gift by writing this book something we all needed. Thank you Quinn for always thinking of the pack. I can not wait for the next book my heart is in knots when thinking of the future that lies ahead but know I'm not alone nor is the pack! FOR THE PACK!!!!

I was privileged to be an early reader for Quinn as an ARC. I enjoy all things Quinn!! As noted with other readers, she doesn’t disappoint. She has a talent of continuing the flow with the characters for the reader to experience all emotions. She brings together her characters of friends turned family which set you in a journey of laughter, tears, rage, eye rolls, sympathy/empathy, food tossing and hot chocolate drinking good times. While experiences all the “feels” the reader doesn’t lose focus of real genuine hope and prayer that everything works out. Quinn is a creative and talented writer. She doesn’t disappoint. When a new book comes out, the reader can feel safe to know that she has invested all her time, energy and heart in that book! This book, is no different. It is wonderful and worth the journey. If you have been reading along with the series (in order), this book is a fantastic break from the “heavy” that we have endured. It’s a joy to read. I did. Hope you do as well.

Howliday is the 14th book in the Quinn Loftis series. This book was a welcome relief after the last few intense, non-stop books. This story was a chance for the characters to regroup, mourn, remember, and celebrate their friends and family. The story was full of laughter and fun, with some romance mixed in. In other words, it was the perfect combination for a happy Christmas in July. It was also nice to see the characters in a happy place of healing and love as they welcomed new members. My only regret is that I didn't want the story to end. I wanted more glimpses into this little slice of family time and new traditions. If you have never read the series, give it a chance. The books get better and better until you see the characters like family and you become fully invested. Quinn has built a community with her readers and she is amazing about sharing her time, planning events for her fans, and making us feel like family, too.

Jen is put in charge of organizing an amazing Christmas/birthday (the pups)/baby shower (Bethany) to make up for what they missed during all the ‘Cxxp’ that’s been happening the past year. So, she assembles everyone and coordinates Elf Bootcamp.
Not much series plot action regarding the Order, just celebration and pack. The Great Luna declared a moratorium in order to morn and that’s what they’re doing: in the Grey Wolves females manner. A lot of repetitive teasing, raunchy sex jokes and madcap overdone Christmas decorating along with couples crisis’s and make-up sex, plus, pregnancy problems. That’s it. The whole book. Skimmed through some of the repetitious parts. Jen can be a bit too much.
Footnote: 1) 12 days of Christmas is one of favorite songs and I love this version of it.
Fave scenes: Bethany attacking Wadim, Zara’s healing, Peri’s tree trick and Titus protecting Thia & Slate.

Loved this book, what can I say?? It takes you back to the heart of what it is to be PACK! There is lots of laughs to be had, thanks Jen, Peri, Thia, but for me Little Pup Titus takes the crown in this one, made me full on Belly Laugh with his antics, watch out Jen! You may have competition... 😂 It was great to read a feel good, coming together, in the calm, in the storm, well with a little of normal crazy thrown in. That makes your heart warm. And also gives it time to recover a little from previous ones. Thanks Quinn. 😁 One situation that is hinted at, no spoilers will make you get the feels and want to jump for joy. Yay!
Beautifully written, we readers feel like we are part of the PACK and it was nice to be in the light, in the forever it seems darkness of the characters lives. Though no doubt won't last, we can hold it in our hearts for the coming storms ahead. Xoxo

Holly Freak! -channeling my inner Jen- Book 14... I stumbled across Book 1 on Amazon and I'm so glad I did. This book was hilarious from beginning to end! The remix of 12 Days of Christmas 😂😂 Loved It!
The familial spirit of this book is so heart warming, it puts you in your feels but the lighthearted energy keeps you from ugly crying... I laughed til I got cramps and in some parts I just sat teary eyed, spell bound. I absolutely love how Quinn writes and each installation to this series leaves me wanting more.
The Christmas essence and familial camaraderie in this book makes me a bit sad that these people don't actually exist so I could be their friend as well. Having a support system as strong and stubborn as Jen, Jacque and Sally is rare and unmatched. I'm ready with a box of tissue for the next book atp!

I had the joy of reading this book as an ARC reader. This book is much needed reprieve after the previous few books! During this book we get to see inside some of the couples - we get to see how they learn and grow and we also get to see the love and support within the pack.
I could not put this book down, it was over all a feel good book, that will have you laughing out loud at the antics of the group (if you have read the previous books, I’m sure you can guess the main culprits! And if you haven’t started reading this series yet, then what are you waiting for?!)
I highly recommend this book (as I do the rest of the series) Quinn writes in such a way that the characters become your friends and loved ones. You laugh with them, you cry with them, she has such an extraordinary gift, you won’t be disappointed. #FORTHEPACK 🐺

Disclaimer: This is an ARC review but all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Christmas in July! This book was the perfect calm before the storm book. It kept true to the emotions the characters were feeling after Alpha Rising without being too dark; perfectly balanced.
I absolutely LOVED the private glimpses into the mated pairs that we don’t hear from often (Crina & Adam, Gabriel & Rachel, etc.) lives. I always wonder about them and I’m so happy that they each got mini solo scenes.
Jen’s cakes were hilarious and her revenge plots are always amazing. Seeing Jacque and Fane stepping into their alpha roles made my heart smile because they truly care for their pack just as much as Vasile and Alina did.
This novella was like a balm that soothed the pain of Alpha Rising and I’m so ready to get back into the nitty gritty of the Grey Wolves universe.

I found this series while looking for something new to read and my friend suggested it because she loves it so much. Once I started I could not stop reading this series as well as the Gypsy Healer series. Through all the dramas, laughter, and tears the characters have become such a normal part of my day. Sometimes I will be just talking to someone and I can feel my inner Jen wanting to come out.
The characters have been through so much through this series that I feel like this book is the much-needed relief, not only for the characters but for us as the readers as well. Though there were parts that pulled at my heartstrings it was a more bittersweet feeling. This book is a bit different than the others but is just as amazing. It takes you through a rollercoaster of tears, laughs, and holiday fun… of course with a furry twist! You will not regret reading this book!
