This book is sort of like a sandwich. The beginning and ending felt like a whirlwind storm where so much information gets thrown at you that it's overwhelming. The meat in the middle though is delicious and worth savoring. Please forgive my food analogy, I haven't eaten breakfast yet.

Some call Ally the alpha. She's strong, doesn't take crap from anybody, and protects her family. That's how she died. Yet somehow she came back, different. How can the things she does now be explained? Will her life ever be somewhat normal again?
Ally is one heck of a heroine. Her past is surrounded by tragedy, and at an age where most are starting their adult life with so much ahead, Ally is raising a young pup, Dylan. But she does this with no second thought or hesitance. Now that Dylan is com...more

PJV Quickie: I’m kind of picky about my shapeshifter romance and Ms. Holley got this one right: Great characters, a fae mystery, and interesting pack dynamics made ‘Yours, Mine and Howls’ a book I couldn’t put down.

Although this is the second book in this series, it can be read as a complete stand alone book. I haven't read the first one and didn't feel I was missing anything.

I read the first one of this series and wasn't sure if I wanted to carry on. It was okay but nothing fantastic. I am so glad that I did. This was a really good read. I loved the characters and how they interacted with each other.
I loved Ally, she was strong and for the longest time I thought that she had been made into a were but was pleasantly surprised at the way things came out.

SOO much better than the first one!
i really loved the ideas and concept of this book. Although Cade annoyed the hell out of me sometimes with his macho bs. I know alphas are supposed to be domineering and strict but not to their mate. I mean he let Ally order him around a bit but he'd get really annoyed and irritated about it like a little girl.

A really nice paranormal romance with werewolves, a little mystery and a great relationship in the center.
I loved all the characters, the interactions between them, the fast pace of the novel, the writing style, it all just clicked for me.

Had some good lines but the whole alpha male got a little tiring towards the end. Not a bad read all in all.
“She called me baby.”
“Oh, well then, we’ve got nothing to worry about, do we? Hope she’s not the jealous type. Wouldn’t want her breaking my neck if she catches us in the shower together.”

I read Nanny Years and it was amazingly funny and very well written short story. I just had to know what will happen next. So I bought the kindle book and spent a day sneaking behind my PC to read it. And it was a great adventure. I was hooked from the start - the characters were believable and the storyline was really exciting. I think author has done a wonderful job creating this world with fae, werewolves and old gods. And now my only option is to buy the other books from the series and hope...more
lebih bagus dr buku pertama, exciting en bener2 alur cerita yg ok.. alurnya sama sekali nggak ngebosenin, awalnya males bgt baca sekian ratus hal ttg werewlf. Tp ternyata bukan cm cerita tentang werewolf and his mate aja... tp ada misterinya en surprisingly unpredictable... almost sad when the story ended soalnya ada bbrp hal yg terlalu jelas, like Ally life spam, is she gonna be immortal like Cade or not? the writer didn't mention it 'till the end...I wanna read more...I want to know if she gon...more
4.5 stars
Funny and interesting. A great read. Maybe I loved it this much because the last couple of books I've read were either mediocre or terrible. But even allowing for that, this book was quite good.
Just some minor thoughts though:
The title was nonsensical
And there was a whole lot of mythology there in the end. A little hard to keep up.
The hero was an uncommunicative Neanderthal in the beginning.
I liked how the heroine handled him (she's real bossy).
No epilogue - not cool
But I look forward t...more

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.

YOURS MINE AND HOWLS was another roller coaster ride of a read, and took some time to for me to settle down to it. After reading this second book I will say that packing alot of drama into her books probably will be apart of Ms Holley style – there is alot of stuff happening that made this read a bumpy journey for me.

This is a different shifter story, a little odd. It had many plots going on that it was difficult to keep up, I felt like I was being pull in to many different directions. When someone want to know what was happen they were told " tell you later or don't have time right now in a hurry will tell you later" .
But I guess overall I enjoyed it enough that I read the whole thing.

4.5 stars - Review to come, but I really really liked this. I am a shifter nut and I liked the bit of myth tie-ins too and I really liked that the heroine is alpha enough - and has some secret special powers - that allow her to go toe to toe with her very alpha mate. I also really liked both Allie's ragtag family and Cade's patchwork quilt pack.
If I could give this book a negative number I would. A sexist religiously oriented pierce of crap obviously the author does not know children, for every time Becca is mentioned it in conjunction with the TV show she is watching. Yep, Ally is great with kids anyone can sit in front of a TV with a child, its no great skill.
While I really liked "Kiss and Kin," this offering by Holley didn't do it for me; it was too long, with too much information packed into it. I got 49% through the book (Kindle edition) and then skimmed to the end. I felt like the author tried to do too much in one novel. It had a good premise that turned into "am I done yet?"
I really enjoied this book. So cute, so sexy, so everything.
Becca is so cute, but I wish I would know her better. She doesn't appear too much on this book, what is so not cool. :( But I had enought secrets, action and love. A lot of love. And so well written!
IN LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOV

I really liked this one. First off there was a whole lot of meat on it compared to the 2 first books and there was more plot, which really made it great. I liked all the history that came from Ally's and Cade's meeting. I found the whole business with the old ones intriguing and i'm hoping they'll play a part later on.
I'm looking forward to reading the next book.
