What if the one thing you wanted most was forbidden?Wealthy werewolf Storm Howler wants a chance to act out his submissive fantasies without his overprotective brothers scaring off every dominant man in sight. If he can’t choose his own partners, how will he ever find his fated mate?As the former leader of a shifter special forces unit, Jax knows how to keep people safe, but he also craves the … but he also craves the one thing he never had in the military: control.
When Storm and Jax meet, tension sizzles between them. It only takes one night of control and surrender for each of them to question whether they’re fated for one another. But the next day, they discover Storm’s brothers have hired Jax as Storm’s new bodyguard. Rather than resign, Jax agrees to the hands-off policy in his employment contract, because no one can protect Storm as well as he can. But when danger threatens, Storm needs a man who can calm his mind as easily as he protects Storm’s body. The two begin spending more time together, and there’s only so long anyone can fight against fate—or love.
This is the second book in the Howler Brothers series. Five Brothers all looking for their fated mates. The series begins with Claiming Bite.

The Perfect Storm
Jax & Storm
I am enjoying this shifter series so much. I am a sucker for shifters anyway, but this one ticks my kink/ bdsm box, my close family ties box, my morally ambiguous characters box (I live for the gray), my fated mates box, and finally my HEA box.
Author Violet’s writing is clever and smart. It displays a lot of societal comparisons and prejudices by using different shifter species and also by comparing shifter society as a whole against mundane humans.
Heavy themes such as trafficking, underage prostitution, dub-con/ non-con, and assault are present though not explicit.
What is explicit and explosive are the scenes between Storm and Jax. Phew! Those scenes are so hot, you might need oven mitts to hold your book while reading.
While the Howler Brothers work to clean and make better lives for shifter society, Fate is lending her hand by sending mates to balance these men. Jax is the perfect mate for Storm, inside and out. Together they work to bring down a bear shifter who has been abusing his job’s power, and his family privilege to take advantage of and steal from one of the Howlers’ Businesses.
Can be read as a standalone, but more fun if read as part of the series, in my opinion.

I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Wow! Jax and Storm fogged up my screen! I thought the first book was hot, but this one was even better. I can’t wait to read the next one. I truly love the idea of fates mates. That one special person created just for you. The Howler family face another issue, but nothing they can’t fix together.
Bodyguard’s Bite is the second book in author Silvia Violet’s Howler Brother’s series. I did not read the first book in this series and I was not lost at all. I really love the world Ms. Violet has created in this series. The relationships are strong and make me want more. I love the emotional angst and action in this book. This book is written in dual POV and does end on a cliff hanger.
Storm is a submissive with alpha brothers who think they need to protect him. Although his brothers tended to be overprotective, I loved how Storm is still able to live up to his name. He is a tiny mighty storm that is a force to be reckoned with. He has sass, courage, and above all smarts to outwit those who think he is the weaker brother.
Jax he is new in town, looking to get a job, and that’s when Storm literally throws himself at Jax. I liked how Jax is alpha but not so much you’re like ugh he is all muscles no brains. He’s a smart and strong character who is just the man to handle the incoming storm.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story and I plan to go back to the first book to see what I missed. I’m also looking forward to seeing more from this wonderful series in the future. When you want some spice and angst with your wolves this is the book to pick up.
Five Shooting Stars
Delightful story with steam, intrigue, complex characters and an intense love. This was so much fun to read. I loved the family dynamics and the complex situations that were part of the story-line. I really enjoyed each brother and the supporting characters will continue to appear in the next books i hope.
Storm and Jax really sizzle from the first pages of this story and they will steam up your kindle for sure. There is so much more to these guys then the steam, they are so connected and each has their struggle and together they do find their way.
This is book two of the Howler Brothers series and could be read as a stand-alone. I would recommend reading book one also because it is really good and will give you more insight into all the brothers. Looking forward to the next books!
I was gifted this book from the LesCourt Author Services and i freely give my honest opinion and review
Even as a follower of Slivia Violet’s book, this series was a nice surprise for me. Catching it up at book 2 is never enough (I just started now book 1) but as this book can be read as standalone it was no issue. The story is all about finding someone who loves you, and accept you unconditionally even with a few (ok, a lot of) kinks and perks, someone whom you trust too much that you can trust him everything including your inner fantasies. Add to it shifters, fated mates, an interesting plot with a lot of dangers and a great HEA and you’d get a wonderful love story!! I would like to add that the Dom/sub hot scenes between Jax and Storm are some of the best I ever read!!
I received this book as an ARC and this is my honest opinion.
I enjoyed reading this intriguing MM shifter romance, it is the second book in the series “Howler Brothers” & can be read as a standalone. I found the plot to be well-written & entertaining. The characters are well-developed with good chemistry between them; I particularly enjoyed the straight-forward way (Storm) approached (Jax) & then how Jax tried to resist Storm after he was employed to protect him, only to discover that fate & love will not be denied.
There is: various kinds of shifters, humans, a shifter council, a submissive but independent wolf shifter (Storm), his caring brothers (King, Garrett, Bryce & Shadow), ex-special forces dominant wolf shifter (Jax), fated mates, friendship, some domination/submission, discipline, spankings, drama, intrigue, suspense, secrets, danger, deceit, betrayal, threats, enemies, devious plans, disagreements, compromises, discovery, coercion, determination, verbal banter, frustration, manipulations, advice, plans, vengeful feelings, confrontations, aggression, thankfulness, love, contentment, steamy scenes & a delightful satisfying epilogue. I would recommend this book & look forward to more from this author.
