Review:
I loved this book. It was a fresh take on incorporating fantasy creatures into the real world. The FMC and MMC have depth to them and both have a facade they lean very heavily into. Both had character development throughout the book that was brought on by just being in their situation. 

Summary:
Luna crashes into Claw Haven, or more accurately the Musgrove Inn sign, on her way to the airport for her wedding. Stuck in town at the inn, Luna, on the first night, takes a drink from a bottle near the party. Unknowingly, she is now bonded and werewolf married to Oliver, one of the owners of the inn. 

Now forced to stay in town until the snow melts, Luna and Oliver decided to enjoy the benefits of their relationship, with the blessing of Luna's fiancé as long as its just physical. 

Luna plays up the heiress and party girl persona despite wanting to use her marketing degrees and actually work. Oliver is grumpy and has been for a year since the pack had to move after a tragedy.

I almost dropped this book from the first couple of chapters, the fmc is sooooo bratty and spoiled, it actually pissed me off, I found the mmc to be unbearable, and some of the lexicon threw me off. Once it gets going these things kinda peter out and it makes for a super fun read. The banter’s fun, the characters are interesting, and I liked the plot. After you get through the first little bit of the book it turns into a very cozy, cute, and charming little book.  

Thank you Net Galley for the eARC.

I got the book for the title and enjoyed a romcom. My only struggle was a "me thing" in Luna was engaged when she met the MMC and while it was an open relationship, I found Hector an unnecessary add on.

Accidentally Wedded to a Werewolf was a sexy and sweet read. Our FMC, Luna Stack, finds herself stuck in a small Alaskan Town that’s a safe haven for monsters of all types. Due to shenanigans Luna and the MMC, Oliver Musgrove, are accidentally wed in the werewolf fashion. Watching the two of them grow as characters and fall in love was enjoyable. If you love the grumpy x sunshine trope this is 1000% the book for you.

Thank you to the author, the publisher, & NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I was hooked from page one.  The MMC is the ultimate grump to the endless sunshine of the FMC.  I loved the Luna's growth from the vapid party girl to the serious marketing guru who felt safe enough to know she didn't have to always be smiling.  

<I know many had an issue with the FMC being in an open relationship.  I think it's nice for the author to explore this.  It is not presented enough in the books I've seen.  And it led to an additional dynamic that helped the couple get together.>

I loved how there were so many different 'monsters' coexisting and I would love more stories from this cute little town. 

I do think the ending was a little rushed.  I would have liked to see more between the last chapter and the epilogue.  Or even more of their reunion.

Overall, read this in about two days and couldn't put it down! 

I don’t know what’s in the water up in Claw Haven, but I would like to drink it and possibly accidentally bond myself to a grumpy werewolf innkeeper while I’m at it.

This book was cozy and spicy. Accidentally Wedded to a Werewolf delivers a low-stakes, monster-filled romcom full of snowed-in antics, awkward magical accidents, and unexpected emotional depth. The vibe? Hallmark meets horny, with a side of potion mishaps and a porcupine chocolatier. While the romance is fun and steamy, the real heart of this story lies in Claw Haven itself, a town full of quirky, charming monsters who instantly make you feel like part of the pack. I cannot wait for more books set here.

Luna starts out as your classic spoiled heiress, entitled, dramatic, and more than a little insufferable, but give her time. The slow burn character growth was honestly one of my favorite parts of the book, although it does take a while. She goes from a stranded socialite to someone finding real purpose, real community, and yes, real feelings for her grumpy not-husband. Oliver, meanwhile, is a reluctant alpha-in-waiting with a tragic backstory, a lost shift, and zero patience for sudden werewolf brides.

But that bonded proximity trope? It’s doing heavy lifting here and it works. The spicy scenes are feral (yes, there’s knotting) but also unexpectedly tender, especially once Luna starts calling him “good boy” and his brain short-circuits. Luna and Oliver may have gotten stuck together by accident, but watching them slowly choose each other for real? That’s the magic.

Thank you to NetGalley and Publisher for the ARC.

It's not there is so much that needed to be worked on... I hope Harlequin can revamp it before it's debut publication date...

I have some mixed feelings, but overall, this was a cute read!!! I really liked the Hallmark movie vibes, just with monsters 🤭 The premise: girl gets stuck in a small town and accidentally gets bonded to a werewolf- was super fun! I liked Oliver's growly self, and even though Luna irked me at times, I liked how she'd grown as a person by the end of the story! Will definitely be looking forward to more novels set in Claw Haven!!
