Review: The Art of Seducing a Naked Werewolf by Molly Harper

The Art of Seduing a Naked Werewolf

Naked Werewolf #2

by Molly Harper

Maggie Graham is Alpha bitch of the werewolves that live by Grundy, Alaska. But when sexy Viking-esque Dr Nick Thatcher comes to town with his devilish nerdity to investigate the possibility of werewolves existing it is up to Maggie to drive him off. But between repeated attempts on her life and her relatives antics it doesn't quite seem to work out that way...

This is the book equivilant to a packet of Malteasers. Light and fun (have you ever tried that thing where you blow on a Malteaser to try and makes it hover?)you keep going through the bag and the next thing you know you have sucked up your last Malteaser but still keep searching for that one you always miss. That's what this book felt like, I ambled through it enjoying the humour and all the characters and before a story seemed to have really started the book had finished.

Maggie is in the first book How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf as the main characters, Coopers, annoying little sister. But I really liked her in this book, she is a sarcastic smart arse, my favourite kind of heroine. I liked Nick as well, he was cute! Although I wished we saw more of him, but he and his Star Trek boxset are definitely rocking the gorgeous-geeky section of heroes. I also wish that we saw more of Nick and maggie together, it didn't seem as if they ever really had time together, yet they fell in love.

The story in this was a little slow as well and like the previous book I did guess the general gist of what was happening before it was revealed. However, that didn't stop me from enjoying the book; there was enough hunour and interesting characters in it for me to like the book regardless of a weak story.

This was another fun read by Molly Harper. I don't think this will ever become a favourite series but I would recommend it if you want something light between all the angst!

How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf

(Naked Werewolf #1)

by Molly Harper

It's extremely shallow of me, but what attracted me to this book was the cover. I love a quirky cover and then I was intrigued by the equally quirky blurb and title. I have read Molly Harper before and I do enjoy her blend of the paranormal and humour, and this book was no different.

Mo Wenstein has moved to Grundy, Alaska to get away from her interfering hippy parents and start a new life for herself. One particular resident of Grundy, Cooper who happens to be an alpha werewolf in exile, isn't to pleased about her relocation, even if he can't seem to keep away from her.

This was one of those reads where you can curl up on the sofa with some chocolate and a cup of tea and escape for a while. It was fun and lighthearted and keeps you laughing. If you want to read a PNR with a lighter bent, then this is the book to pick.

It is told in first person from Mo's POV, which normally I don't like unless it is an Urban Fantasy, but I found I loved to camp out in Mo's head and see what she was thinking, this book is choc full of funny and witty quotes. As for Cooper, I did like him, he was cute and gruff and a little bit sulky at times, which I found kind of sweet, but he wasn't someone who made me drool. However, Mo and Cooper did make a good couple, I loved that Mo didn't take any of his BS and also that she took the werewolf thing in her stride, in fact she took it a little too well and figured it out really quickly.

There was also a plot of a wolf attacking citizens of Grundy, which Cooper thought was him as the the only werewolf in town, but I thought it was fairly easy to figure out who was doing it, so I thought that part of the book was weak. But, what was good was that although this is a romance book, it focused equally on how Mo settled in to the town and the other people she built relationships with as well as Cooper.

A great read, and I can't wait to get stuck into the next one.
