Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack, #1)Claiming My Mate by Nicole Howl
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Decent character driven story with our main heroine being a human slave in the household of Wolf shifters. Namely the royal family. The King is a royal Jerk, the queen seems sweet but downtrodden, and the sexy Wolf Prince Jason. The story feels a bit Shakespearian with a fairytale twist. We have rebels/rebellion over the monarchy being iron fisted and a slave girl who catches the eye of our handsome prince. There’s the “evil” guardsman who you want to see on a pike before the story is through, and a twist that just makes you want to cry.
While the world and scenery could use more fleshing out in my opinion. The characters are decent. A good book for older YA audiences. Be cautioned as there are some hard themes and possible trigger warning scenes in here. I like how the characters deal with the events and come out the other side. Not to graphic in the scenes, but still there.

I do want to start this with a warning. Sexual assault is a major driving force in the storyline. It is brought up multiple times, sometimes in vague detail. However, the tale was an engaging one. I’m a huge fan of shifter stories and this is no different. High stakes abound in this modern story with a medieval skew.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Claiming My Mate was in my opinion really intriguing. I literally started and finished on the same day. I couldn’t put it down. Lilly was a good lead female, strong, loyal and never lets people keep her down, and this is just the beginning. I can’t wait to see her blossom as the story goes on. As for Jason man! I really think now that he’s found her he’s going to be unstoppable. I love the way he protects her and makes her feel safe after everything that has happen, and don’t get me started on his father😡 his downfall will be ever sweet  😗🤌(Chef kiss) I can’t wait for the the next book I’m counting the days til it’s released. I’m so happy I stumbled upon this. Great job Nicole Howl 👏

Ps. Trigger warning it does touch on sexual assault.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Claiming My Mate is a romantic fantasy about a girl named Lily, who serves the royal wolf pack family as a “slave”. Lily tries to keep her head down and do the job, since many find the wolves to be mean and intimidating. Unfortunately, one of those wolves in the royal guard has taken an “interest” in her and because of his position feels that he can take whatever he wants from her. (Trigger warning – sexual assault) In the midst of all her troubles, the prince, Jason, finds himself attracted to her scent after she was cleaning his room. His wolf senses were screaming at him that this girl was special and needed to be “claimed”. Lily finds herself between a rock and a hard place – on one hand the prince is claiming her as his soulmate, while the royal guard just wants to claim her. What will she do and how far will each of these men go to claim what they believe is theirs?
I for the most part enjoyed this book. I thought the story line idea was a little different from other wolf fantasy books which interested me. I also always enjoy a good read where a wolf wants to love their soulmates so hard you can’t help but fall in love with them. Well, I was slightly disappointed. The main aspect of what could have been better was the character development. Here you have a good premise, but no build up. For example, Lily, you could see there was a little fire in her, but she was in no position of power. However, once she makes her choice (which comes pretty quickly) all of a sudden she is turning into a woman who has balls of steel and confidence. I thought it was just weird that the character development just went from one extreme to another. In addition, Jason, who is prince and supposedly powerful, wasn’t displayed that way in the writing. In each fight scene he gets extremely hurt and just seems to me if you are that powerful you should be a little more resilient when being described in these scenes. This is not to say I will not read the next book, I still got the feeling that the books will get better so I am invested in at least one more installment.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A shorter read (few hours). Seemed contemporary but I don’t remember any technology so I could be wrong about that. Paranormal alternate reality where there are shifters, here wolves, who create their own packs. The Alpha of the pack head up the royalty line, and they keep lower level shifters (Omegas) and humans as servants. Lily is a human servant who has had a rough time at the hands of Royal Guards and just making it through in a life where she’s the bottom of the Totem-pole. Jason is the Prince of the pack and is expected to be the next Alpha, but he’s harboring secrets that threaten his status and security.

I really enjoyed learning more about Jason’s character and who he is outside of being the Prince and next Alpha. I thought him and Lily worked well together as a couple and I can’t wait to see them grow together. There’s not much on screen romance here, with book 1 acting like the introduction to the world and characters .

I loved the strength we see from Lily at times, but I wish we got to see her backbone in other moments. I hope she starts to trust in herself more and stops sacrificing herself for others, no matter her good intentions. I loved her relationship with her friend and fellow slave Amara.

Warning, book 1 ends on a cliffy (cliffhanger).

CW: off screen sexual assault, sexual intimidation, slave scenario, domestic violence, abuse against women

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nicole Howl’s “Claiming My Mate” is the first in her Wolf Hollow Wolf Pack series. Shifter romances are usually not the first books I turn to, but the cover art grabbed my attention immediately and pulled me in. This is geared more towards a YA romance with shifters, werewolves, fated mates, humans, and plenty of action. I would like to add a trigger warning though, it does deal with some more mature and dark themes such as rape and abuse.
The male MC, Jason is the prince of the Wolf Hollow Royals and set to take over from his horrible father as the Alpha King. Lily, the female MC is a young human servant in the royal kingdom who doesn’t feel like she belongs. Tragic events bring the Jason and Lily together and no matter how hard they try they cannot escape their fate. Along the way they face many battles by both family and enemies.
Once I picked this book up, I couldn’t put it down! Nicole jumped right in with the action, and it was a very fast paced book from beginning to end. The book was shorter than I prefer but completely worth it. I can not wait for the second one to come out to learn the fate of Jason and Lily.

Ahhhh!!! Y’all! To start: the cover is eye catching and absolutely BEAUTIFUL. If a book has a good cover I can’t resist reading! I’m also a serious sucker for any kind of shifter romance. I really enjoy getting to read from Jason and Lily’s point of views. It makes the story so immersive and it really kept me from putting the book down. Jason’s character was drool-worthy and Lily is just so sweet and compassionate. This story was so twisted, disturbing, and beautiful. I really enjoyed it and I’m EAGER for the next in the series!!

This is book one in the Wolf Hollow Pack series. This is first book I have read by Ms. Nichole Howl and it was well worth the read. She has a way of bringing the characters to life between the pages and making you feel connected to them. Lily and Jason have a connection like no other as well as some steamy scenes that leave you wanting more. I was through with the book before I even realized the ending was upon me. I will be patiently awaiting book two.
There are some scenes described that may trigger readers sensitive to physical & sexual abuse, discretion is advised.

This is a great story and a strong start to a new series. For me this book was entirely about the characters. They has a strong connection right from the word go and it continued throughout the whole story.
This is a new author to me so I was excited to see what the story wojkd hold. It is quite a short book so didn’t take too long to read. It was fast paced and enjoyable. The bolm was well written and I really liked how the author developed the characters. I thought this was a good start to a new series and I am looking forward to Book 2.

Claiming My Mate was definitely my kind of book. I loved how Lily’s character developed in this story. My only complaint is major things happen so quickly that I was left feeling a bit dizzy. I think had the author spent just a little more time explaining what was going on and just slowed it down a tad, it would have been better. It seemed like I was missing part of the story by starting with book 2. I’m absolutely going to look for a book two however, because I’m looking forward to reading more from Nicole Howl.

Claiming My Mate was such a surprise to me! As a novella I was a little leery because sometimes novellas feel rushed, but this was a wonderful, complete story!! Forbidden Lovers is always an exciting trope but the draw they have to each other is so compelling!! He is quiet and stoic but catches her scent and BAM, we are off! Can these fated mates face the challenges that are in their way? I can’t wait to read what comes next!!

5 Star Review
Claiming My Mate is the first book in this two-book series, Wolf Hollow Pack Series, by Nicole Howl. From the first page I was hooked and could not put this book down. Nicole Howl brings the wolves alive in a completely different way than I have ever read.
Jason is next in line to become Alpha and King of Wolf Hollow. Lily is a human slave to Jason’s family, the Wolf Hollow Royals, and just wants to go about the rest of her life unseen and complete her daily duties. But Goddess Leto has a different plan in mind.
Lily is caring and sweet and just wants a normal life. She feels bad for the humans, like her, who are being held captive to slave and serve the Wolf Hollow Royals.
Jason is strong, levelheaded compared to his father, King Huntington, and kind like Lily.
One day Jason’s wolf catches a scent that he is in love with and is trying to figure out where it came from, when he finally figures outs its Lily, a human, who also happens to be his mate, he must protect her from one of his fathers Royal Guard members who is trying to claim her as his mate.
Lily on the other hand just wants to be hidden in the shadows and doesn’t want anyone to know she even exist, that is, until her wolf peeks out and also want to claim her mate, Jason.
Will Jason and Lily survive what is to come and be able to live a happy life together, or will it be destroyed by King Huntington? I cannot wait to find out in book two!

Forbidden lovers, a girl who has no idea who or what she is and a Prince with many secrets.

Jump into this forbidden lovers tale which is a quick and intense read making you desperate to want to know more as its left on so many cliffs you arent even sure which one you need to know the answer to first!

My only complaint is I feel like I needed a little more development of characters… due to its short read the story felt rushed but I will certainly be interested to see if Author fills us in more in Book 2 because now I have to see how this plays out.

fair warning this is not a typical forbidden lovers romance there is some dark themes here that are not for the faint of heart!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The first book in the Guardian of the Spirits series: the war, Claiming My Mate by Nicole Howl. We first meet Lily, a human and servant to the Wolf Hollow Royals. The Wolf Hollow Royals are well known shifters. The first lesson we learn is do not make eye contact, this is a challenge to the shifters and could end badly. The second perspective is Jason, a shifter, prince of the Wolf Hollow Royals and the next in line for the throne. Lily is Jason’s true mate and all of this wolf instincts are to loved, defend and protect his mate. But will Lily accept his invitation to become his mate and how will she truly fit in with the Royals as a human and servant.
This book is a brilliant introduction to this new paranormal world. We meet characters from both sides of the house, from servants Miss Kitty and Amara, to the Royals the King and Queen and Jason’s little sister Laura. I am so interested to see if we learn more about these characters as the book series continues. The story is action packed, full of twists and turns and romantic from page one.
The ending did leave us on a cliff hanger an I cannot wait to see where the rest of the series takes us.

Lily has lived her life under the cruel rule of the wolf pack and its King. Her life changes the moment the wolves take notice of her. Their cruelty brings everything to the forefront and soon her life is thrown into chaos when she crosses paths with the prince of the pack.

Claiming my mate is just the beginning of Lily’s tale. Wrapped up alongside Lily’s adventure are the threads of many other sub plots. Readers not only get a romance but also the threat against the hierarchy and the court intrigue. I enjoyed watching the way Lily begins to blossom and find her place with her mate’s support. While each of the characters have strong personalities, I did not find myself connecting with them enough to get lost in their story. The plot is good, but I found the characters to be one dimensional and did not feel the emotions through out this story. Although this may not be my favorite book the author has woven an interesting tale in this first book of the series, and I am interested enough to see what happens to the characters.

A Fast paced four-star read that leaves me wanting more. I don’t know how to rate this one as at times it pushed ever one of my buttons, but by the end I did want to know what’s next. I liked the meeting; it was so much better than I expected after where the story went initially. Lily and her journey start off rocky, but the hope is there that it gets better, Jason was a character that had so much thought into it, sometimes a little too much as the expense of others, but overall, a good character that made me smile. It’s a nice story that will sweep you away.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Claiming My Mate is a very accessible, engrossing, and interesting novel. Lily, a slave, has been treated poorly her whole life, and suffers even more abuse near the beginning of this novel. When Prince Huntingdon meets her in the infirmary, his wolf is drawn to her immediately. As the future king and alpha of his pack, he is expected to marry for economic and political reasons, not love. But he knows in his heart that this young woman is his soulmate. Although Lily has been trained to be meek and subservient, she surprises the Prince (and everyone else) when she stands up for herself at parts in the novel. She becomes more herself as the novel winds on, and grows into the person she was meant to be.

I really liked this book. The characters were interesting and dynamic, and the plot moved forward with good pacing and turns. The novel does resolve itself at the end (no cliffhanger) but I could definitely see how the story could be furthered in future books, as I hope it does. Great read.

If the authors name; Nicole Howl, wasn’t enough for me nothing would be. A new author for me and goodness where do I begin. The story of Lily and Jason had me shaking, had my mouth dry and my heart pounding hard. Once I began the book I couldn’t stop if my life depended on it. This was incredible. Everything I could have possibly hoped for in a shifter romance. When it ended I was literally out of sorts. I need more, all of what Nicole has to offer me. Palms still sweating and if you’re considering reading this you need to do it. You won’t be disappointed in the SLIGHTEST! The perfect blend of romance, chemistry, angst, despair and thrill.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lily has grown up as a servant in the castle of the Alpha of the Wolf Hollow Pack. Her days are spent keeping her head down, avoiding eye contact with any member of the royal family, and doing her chores. After an attack on her from one of the king’s guards, her life takes a turn that she never saw coming.

After an attack from rebels lands him in a hospital bed, Jason (the prince) is shocked when his wolf wants him to protect whoever else is in the infirmary with him. When he learns that it is one of the humans that works in the castle, he is confused. But, there is more to this human girl than it seems…it’s his mate.

Jason finds himself fighting to the death for a chance to claim his mate…despite his mate’s protests. But, there seems to be a lot more at play here than we know. Can Jason win the battle? Is there a bigger battle brewing?

This book was a relatively quick and easy read. Lily is definitely a lot stronger than she lets herself believe…and I am hoping more of that shines through in the next book. There are also enough secondary characters that could potentially have their own storylines in future books. Overall, a good introduction to a new series that I am looking forward to following in the future.

Claiming My Mate by Nicole Howl Book 1

This Werewolf Fiction Romance starts with a young women named Lily who has known nothing but slavery, she is naturally timid, quiet, selfless and loyal. Lily serves the Wolf Hollow Pack and is treated horribly by the guards, pack and King but through it all she finds her mate.

First few chapters is just building her character, getting to know her personality and laying down the foundation of the storyline, little did I know there would be so many twists and turns.

Lily finds herself in a bad situation with one of the guards that leaves her, broken, scarred and violated. Luckily a member of the pack finds her in her panic and brings her to the royal hospital where she awaits questioning from the not so understanding King and merciful Queen.

From there fate intertwines and her mate is revealed…. Or so we think.

This book is romantic, dark and actually quite witty, I love how much Lily’s character grew in such a short time.
I did not expect the ending at all! quite a cliffhanger, I can not wait for book two come out and read more about these two main characters and how they grow together as mates.

This is such a great fated mates paranormal romance. Lily is a servant working for the royal shifter family. She is horribly mistreated by one of the royal guard, but she feels herself drawn to Jason just as much as he is to her. They face so many obstacles along the way, not the least of which is the difference in status. Jason is the complete opposite of his father. Even though he is the future alpha of the pack, status has never been a big deal for him. He is quick to help the servants unload his family bags and he never treats them like they’re less than him. Jason and Lily fall hard for each other and even though she feels like she isn’t good enough for him she can’t help craving him. This is a must read that you are not going to want to miss. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series!

AH! This book had me totally immersed in its world. I will admit, I have a weakness for wolf shiters, so maybe that is why I enjoyed this read so much. I loved the way the author showed the playfull side of the wolves along with the side that seeks dominance. If I am being totally honest with myself, I would shift into a wolve, and proceed to chase my tail for at least 10 minutes, haha! I loved Prince Jason, and I actually loved Lily! Experiencing the way her confidence shifts was great. Jason is a cinnamon roll and I am excited to see how he develops in the next books. The book was filled with excitement and action. I wish the main conflict would have been resolved just a little quicker so that I could experience more of what happens next, but I suppose that is what the next books are for! So excited to continue this series. Will be keeping my eyes open for when the next books come out!

Claiming My Mate: A Forbidden-lovers romance is the first book in the Wolf Hollow Pack series. I enjoyed this book and the characters. Prince Jason is a significant romantic lead. Lily is a human servant of the pack. I wanted the best for the new couple, and I like the story and how it dealt with sensitive subjects. There is rape, so be warned if that might be a trigger. It is handled well by the author. I like the forbidden romance element of the story and am interested to see if some of the secondary characters will play a larger role in future books in the series.

For starters, Lily is overall a complete badass of a woman when she wants to be. She’s a human slave at this pack’s castle serving for the royal family. She gets bullied a lot and nothing is done about it. Well, when a worse bully comes in and does something that should not be done, she ends up getting the attention of Prince Jason of the Wolf Hollow pack. Prince Jason just got back to the castle with his family and detected a scent that smelled amazing to him. After a couple scenes, he ends up finding Lily. It takes a lot of paths and challenges, but the read is worth finding out! I’m ready to read the second book! 🙂

This was entertaining tale of Royal shifters and the servants that serve them. Jason falls for his human servant. There is plenty of adventure, romance, a bit of violence and a little darkness. There were some twists I did not see coming. There were some characters that lacked something I can’t put my finger on. I did feel the characters were written well. I do wish the story could have been a bit longer so I could have had more. I am such a book hog that way. The plot was enjoyable. The King, though, he was intimidating. Overall, I loved the book and hope there will be more.

This story was phenomenal! From the first page, I could not put it down and when I finished, it left me wanting more! Lily is a servant of the Wolf Hallow royal family. Though she didn’t choose to be in her position, she wants nothing more than to stay out of the spotlight. Some unwanted attention brought her into the spotlight she didn’t want.

Jason is the future king and is just waiting for his chance to claim the spot as Alpha, until he meets his mate. The trouble is, she doesn’t know, nor is it a welcome title to anyone involved. Jason soon realizes he will have to fight for what he wants.

Jason and Lily’s story has a little of everything; action, adventure, romance, humor, and even some unexpected turns. I loved that I felt like I was in the story with them. I felt their emotions resonate within me as I turned page after page. It is a true story of fighting for the ones you love! Plus, who doesn’t love a little paranormal romance, especially when wolves are involved?! I can not wait to read more Wolf Hollow stories in the future!

This book is a well written short story by an author who is new to me. I was impressed with how well the author described the scenes, things the characters were thinking and feeling, and how well the main characters interacted as things changed. I was able to connect to the main characters of Lily and Jason as they helped each other navigate changes. I love how Lily grew stronger as she learns more about the shifter world as a human who was turned. She compliments Jason, the future pack Alpha, in many ways with her strength and caring personality. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Lily is a human servant in the royal household of Wolf Hollow. Her life is turned upside down when the family returns and she is attacked by a guard. Jason, the prince, catches her scent and realizes that she is his mate. Everything seems to be set against them meeting and ultimately being together. As they find their way to each other, will they be enough? Can Jason survive a challenge to them being together?

This is my first time reading this author. It caught my eye, and I couldn’t resist picking it up! It was a quick read and full of action. There were surprises throughout the book that kept me reading to see how it was all going to work out. I do love a good werewolf book! I won’t give away anything, but it did end the book at a bit of a cliff hanger. Looking forward to the next book and seeing how it goes!

This shifter romance is unlike any I have read before! Lily just wants to go unnoticed and do her chores. Being a servant for wolf royalty is not easy and keeps you on guard. Jason is just trying to make it until he becomes the Alpha. He definitely wasn’t looking for his mate and neither was Lily. This story is very fast paced and does have some triggers. I really enjoyed the writing style and the unexpected plot twist! Looking forward to the second book!
