Howl With MeDeacon Rodgers is a wolf shifter with nothing left to lose. He is the sole survivor after a roadside bomb targets his unit. Discharged from the military routine that kept his inner wolf sane, he’s tossed from pack after pack due to his destructive behavior. Deacon’s road leads him to the Allegheny Pack. If he can’t find solace here, he can’t find it anywhere. No longer able to outrun … to outrun his demons, he’s settled for outdrinking them.
Theodora Morelli thought divorcing her abusive husband, obtaining sole custody of their daughter Francesca and moving across the country would be enough to keep the two of them safe, but she was dead wrong. With nowhere else to turn, she runs to Maryvell, and appeals to her last living relative, her aunt, for help.
Because of his extensive military background and black ops training, Deacon is assigned by his Alpha to watch over Theodora and Francesca. Theodora is terrified of their new-found protector, and Francesca is smitten.
But, darkness is again hovering over the sleepy town of Maryvell. Demons of the past have finally caught up with Deacon and Theodora. Can Deacon, and his wolf, move beyond the past and find sanctuary in Theodora’s arms? Or, has the abuse she suffered, broken her beyond that ability? Can they learn to trust each other, before it’s too late for them all?
This book contains scenes of a sexual nature, strong language and adult themes, and is intended for readers over the age of 18.

I’ve loved all the books in the Magical Love series, and I hate to pick favorites, but I knew two chapters into Howl With Me that this one was gonna be my favorite.
I’ve been in the same situation as Theo, and I have to say that this author NAILED it spot on. There were moments that brought me to tears because I FELT SO MUCH of what Theo was feeling. I’ve been that woman, fleeing for her life from an abusive ex with her babies, and there were times I had to put it down, take a breath, and come back. But Dixie handles this with such tact. AND there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Frankie. OH MY LORD this little “pup” has stolen my heart. (Because “toys and ice cream and sh*#). I literally LOL’d at the things that would come out of this spitfire’s mouth.
And Deacon is just all KINDS of masculine. Tortured. Wounded. FEELS so much. My kind of swoon worthy hero, in need of redemption.
Woman is mate. Child is pup. I SWOONED.
I didn’t think that a couple could compare to Ty and Nya, but this little family has stole my heart.
I absolutely LOVE the world that Dixie has created. I wish I had some madjick so I could take residence in Maryvell because all these characters are folk that I’d want to be friends with. She’s created such an amazing TRIBE. Full of love, friendship and OMG the humor. There were moments that Dixie had me rolling in laughter…
“A two hundred plus-year old vampire driving a minivan.” I was ROLLING.
“I’d forgotten how eerie Bodie was. If Striker was a freak show, Bodie was the mothership.”
NEED Striker’s story. STAT. You hear me Dixie???
I can’t wait for the rest of the books in this series. I’m hooked like heroin.
There is so much to like about this book, it’s a great one. The story grabbed my attention right away and had me wanting to know what was going to happen next. The characters are intriguing and complex, I enjoyed getting to know them and follow along on their journey. There is something for everyone to enjoy with this book.
This is the first book I have read in this series and by this author. I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED!! It had it all, friendship, lose, faith, survival, love. You couldn’t ask for much more in a book. I will definitely be reading more from this author if all of her books are like this one! A MUST READ!!
Deacon and Theo’s story is full of suspense, fear, anguish, pain and love. Frankie is a spitfire addition to the adventure. I loved this book.
this book was amazing! its the fourth book in this series. he is a wolf with a lot of problems. she is scared after fleeing her abusive ex. now the wolf is sent to watch over her. feelings start and things start to happen.
This is book 4 in the series. I have not read books 1-3 book I was never lost in this story. This was an amazing story! You wanted to reach in and helps both Theo and Deacon with their issues. This was differently a page turner I could not put it down. There were times when the sections were repeated and I was thinking really ! Then you read it from the other persons view and then it was WOW that was great ! I would guess that books 1-3 dealt with the others in this story and I am sure their stories are amazing as well ! I so enjoyed this book. I look forward to reading 1-3 and any others in this series !
Howl With Me will anger you and touch your heart at the same time. The characters in this book are some of the stongest I have read in a long time. This story is about abuse, emotional and physical as well as PTSD. If these are triggers for you be warned. The author handles this sensitive subject with tact. That being said you will love Deacon, Theodora, and Francesca.
Deacon is suffering from the loss of all of his men by an explosion in the war. He is the only member of his team to survive. Theodora and her daughter are running from her ex husband who abused her physically and mentally while her small daughter watched. Theodora came to her distant relatives for help hoping he wouldn’t find her. Deacon is a wolf shifter and his alpha wants him to watch over Theo and her daughter. You will absolutely fall in love with Francesca aand Deacon’s time together. Once Deacon realizes that Theo is his mate he will move heaven and hell to keep them save. This book is part of a series but can totally be read as a standalone. The glimpses from a Francesca about the abuse her mother suffered will tear your heart out. Dixie Painter has a way with words and characters that entices you page after page.
What an amazing read, breaks your heart. Love Theo and Deacon and was routing for them the whole time. A real must read if you like PNR and shifters.
Deacon can’t seem to get over the deaths of his military team. PTSD is very common. Theodora hopes that this time her ex-husband won’t find her and her daughter. After his Alpha tells him to watch the two, he is unprepared for what he feels. Can he still protect them and himself?
I LOVED Howl With Me!!!!!!!!!!!! Deacon has been thru He!! when he lost his unit to a roadside bomb and the only way he can cope is with alcohol. Theo and her daughter Francesca are on the run from her ex-husband who has beaten her and more. They end up driving to Theo’s Aunt and Uncles house to find help and that comes in the form Deacon and his wolf(who claims both of them right away.) They both have been through so much and will go through more as the book continues. I had to keep reading because I could not put it down. I’m rating this 10 stars
Emotionally gripping! This paranormal romance tugs at your heartstrings pulling you along a journey full of forgiveness, second chances and sweet romance. I really enjoyed both characters and how they helped each other heal and find truly find themselves.
I loved Deacon and Theo’s story. Deacon is a broken man haunted by the past and the future to come. Theo is a victim of domestic abuse and barely escapes with her life. She is being hunted by her ex-husband and is looking for protection from Deacon and other members of the community family. Little Frankie is wonderful and can see ghosts. Deacon is drawn to Theo and Frankie but fights it all the way. This author writes in such a wonderful descriptive way that you can almost feel the angst of the characters and the pain their souls are tormented by. I would recommend this book wholeheartedly. Treat yourself and read the whole series!
This is Book 4 in the Magical Love Series. I’ve not read the other books, but this was so good all by itself. You can read it as a stand-alone book. Deacon is awesome. I just have to say that. He’s the sole survivor of a roadside bomb and has gone through so much emotionally. Then we meet Theodora and her daughter, Francesca. They are leaving an abusive situation and need help. I’m going to be honest and tell you that this will leave you an emotional wreck. Everything that these two have gone through and must go through before the end of the book, it makes them so strong together. You have to read it so that you can see it for yourself. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book that I received from the author. Now I’m off to get the first 3 books in the series. Magical Love really exists!
I have been waiting for Dixie Painter’s Howl With Me fir what seems like forever!! And it was so much more than I expected.. Deacon is a wolf shifter and a soldier. He had seen more than any one man should. He was a broken man trying to live with his demons now. And Theodora (Theo)had excaped a hellish marriage. Another broken soul who saw too much..
I absolutely loved, loved this book, it was an emotional rollercoaster that had me at the edge of my seat and not wanting to put it down. You think it’s going to go one way and it doesn’t and then Deacon just breaks your heart at every turn. You understand what he’s going through and it just breaks you. Oh my goodness and then Theodora just breaks your heart, you feel her pain and it just breaks you. I just fell in love with these two and watching them go through everything makes you love them even more. I cannot say it enough I loved loved this book!!!
