Yesssssss!
Exactly the resolution and happily ever after I'd been hoping for! And some cults as well! Perfect in every way!

It is always a delight to return to the world Gail Carriger created with her book series. I've read most (if not all) of the books set within this universe, but I never grow tired of it. The reunion between Biffy and Lyall was one that was long overdue, and I was immediately invested in their relationship. But what really sold this novel to me was how grounded it is in the world Carriger made , and how she managed to create an engaging plot as well with the few pages she had to work with. I really liked that it didn't JUST focus on the romance, it was the perfect balance for me. Romance books usually aren't my thing, so I was glad that the overall plot was nothing short of hilarious in true Gail Carriger fashion. Romancing the Werewolf really is a must-read for any Parasol Protectorate fans out there.

I screamed a little bit at the tiny Soap/Sophronia reference she threw in. Wicker Chicken!bookishgoblin's review against another edition

Everything Gail Carriger writes is incredible. This one has some freaking adorable gay werewolves so yeah, it’s an amazing read

Carriger's skill in the world building of this series is to be congratulated, years after picking up a proper Parousol novel the characters and their circumstances all came flowing back as I started reading the story of Biffy and his adventures as the new Alpha of the pack. I also seem to have missed the entire arc detailing the sad end of Lord Macon succumbing to the Alpha's curse (couldn’t quite get into the Custard Protocol where this all goes down apparently)
20 years after being turned into a werewolf, our young Dandy Biffy and former drone to Lord Akeldama finds himself struggling to assert himself as Alpha to the pack, and his emotions in a whirlwind after the return of Professor Lyall to his proper position as Beta of the London Pack.
There’s a rather strange sub plot of babies being abandoned at the literal doorstop of the pack but really this is about the lovely schmoop that is Biffy and Lyall.

There is no way I could not love this book, Biffy and Lyall are so sweet and getting to see more of the pack after Lord Maccon leaves is amazing, I really hope we get more from this series of novellas.

This is everything I have wanted and needed since the beginning of Biffy and Lyall. It made me grin constantly and was an absolute delight to read.

And now I could finally read them getting back together in their very own hilarious and wonderful book!
I do love this book - but it did not meet my expectations.
For a book called Romancing the Werewolf there is very little romance. There's a lot of pining for each other and navigating through their new positions and expectations and feelings, but all that felt a bit secondary to the plot of the novella. I was a little bit disappointed - I would have like for their feelings to be the main focus.
That said, I absolutely adored the plot. I won't say much about it as to not spoil the novella, but I enjoyed the thematic as well as meeting the entire London pack as individual characters. I also liked reading about Biffy struggling with being Alpha and the dynamic he has with his pack, and of course Lyall finding a happy, loving partner after so many years of pain.
A new Alpha for a new Age.I think I literally screamed when I realized this book existed. I read The Parasol Protectorate back in 2012 and Lyall and Biffy were two of my favourite characters, and when they developed a romantic relationship I was delighted. Then Timeless happened and I cried for them - I knew they would theoretically get a happy ending, but to not have that on page made me sad.

Not expected, but not unpleasant to pick up on this side story from many moons ago.
