This book was an absolute rollercoaster—in the best way possible. I didn’t see any of the twists and turns coming, which kept me fully engaged from start to finish. As a fan of shifter romances, I had high expectations going in, and this story did not disappoint.
At first, I’ll admit I wasn’t the biggest fan of Luna. She grated on my nerves a bit in the beginning, but by the end, I found myself fully in her corner. Her character growth was one of the highlights of the book, and watching her transformation made the journey that much more rewarding.
Oliver, too, went through a bit of a metamorphosis. He was such a sweetheart by the end, and while both he and Luna were a bit frustrating at times, they became endearing and downright lovable by the final chapters.
One of the most unique and enjoyable aspects was the bonding nectar—something I hadn’t encountered before in werewolf lore. It added a fresh twist to the genre and led to some truly fun and adventurous moments.
In many ways, this felt like a shifter version of a Hallmark movie—comforting, entertaining, and exactly the kind of read I was craving. I truly can't say enough good things about this book. If you're in the mood for a cozy, unexpected, and heartwarming paranormal romance, this one's for you.
Accidentally Wedded to a Werewolf is the story of Luna and Oliver. Luna has car trouble and ends up in a shifter/monster friendly small town at the hotel owned by Oliver and his family. Thanks to a magical werewolf bonding potion, they ended up married. I liked Oliver more then I liked Luna and while I thought the book was ok there were a couple things that I had a hard time with.
While the story is resolved and they get there HEA, there was some things that bothered me a bit, one of which if I wish I had known ahead of time. Things moved pretty fast in the book, which I expected and was ok with, but this book isn't one that I'll read again in the future.

Spoiler
I wouldn't call this a trigger, but I don't enjoy stories where one of the MC's is cheating. Luna is engaged throughout the book which also leads to the 3rd act break up.Thank you, Harlequin Romance, for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley.

This was a very fun cozy romance set in a small town, with werewolves & knotting. The vibes were good and kept everything low stakes; the imagery of the small town was nice. Very grumpy-sunshine, which I enjoy. Generally the characters were likeable, though some of the supporting cast was one-dimensional. At times it felt like things were skipped over in the plot, but it wasn’t hard to follow in spite of this. Overall I liked the story and had a good time reading it.

Okay, hear me out: it’s giving Hallmark but furry.
Accidentally Wedded to a Werewolf is exactly what it promises, a silly, chaotic, slightly unhinged rom-com full of growly declarations, surprise weddings, and “oops, I guess we’re soulmates now” vibes. I knew what I was getting into. I came for the werewolf marriage shenanigans, and I was fed.
Was it deep? No.
Was it going for deep? Also no.
Was it fun in a “curl up with a snack and suspend all disbelief” kind of way? Absolutely.
Solid silly good time. Would recommend for fans of:
🩷 Accidental soul bonds
🐺 Growly soft bois
💍 “We’re WHAT now?” tropes
🌙 Fluffy chaos

Fun read with grumpy sunshine vibes, forced proximity as she accidentally bonds with him. Initially enemies, we see their journey and the author takes us along for the ride. I did like his reluctant if I must attitude. He is a softy. We learn to love them both together. Sugar is knotted. The surrounding characters make for this a charming found family story.
If cheating is triggering for you, there may be an issue with her having a significant other when this starts, regardless of how it's resolved.

This is an adorable premise where monsters and humans coexist together in - mostly - harmony. This story follows a spoiled rich girl who ends up stranded in an area where the perks she’s used to just don’t exist. There’s no room service or a spa and even the cell phone service is spotty. It’s very inconvenient that her family is headed for the beach while she’s stranded in Alaska in the snow and she can’t leave, for more than one reason. It’s a wild story of the grumpy/sunshine nature and I find it delightful. Definitely worth the read.

What an unexpectedly fun book to read!! The very definition of a grumpy/sunshine trope mixed in with a “monster” romance. It was quick and easy to read and had me kicking my feet at several spots!
Luna is your typically rich party girl, never having to work for anything and lives a life of luxury. Oliver is your grumpy werewolf with dealing with a traumatic past. Together they get accidentally bonded and chaos ensues. The entire Musgrove Family is endearing and charming- I would gladly live in Claw Haven with them!
I thought the concert of bonding in this book was fun - like a warmth the grows the closer you are, coldness when you get farther away. To the point it causes physically pain to be separated .
I do think the open relationship idea between Hector and Luna threw me off and I felt bit weird about a lot that happened in the book. The immediate spice and how it continually happens despite Oliver not liking the idea initially knocked this down for me.

I was excited about this book because the premise had so much cozy vibe potential—a small Alaskan town as a safe haven for all kinds of monsters sounded right up my alley. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite work for me. The FMC felt a bit annoying and lacked the depth I was hoping for, and the romance between her and the MMC felt rushed and mostly driven by their magical bond rather than any real emotional connection. I still think the setting and idea were unique, but overall, it just wasn’t the cozy supernatural escape I’d hoped for.

I really enjoyed this book! I was expecting a typical gruff werewolf romance but got a heartwarming small town love story that almost made me cry at the end. Something a lot of contemporary romance fumbles is the genuine connection and growth of the love interests, but here it's so clear and so touching. Seeing Luna and Oliver grow closer and grow into the best versions of themselves was so fun to read. And setting in all in a cozy monster town was an added bonus!
Luna reminds me so, so much of Alexis Rose from Schitt's Creek--- actually, this is like "Alaskan monster town Schitt's Creek with werewolves and accidental mating bonds," and it WORKS. It was like a Halloween Hallmark movie but with the perfect balance of sappy and genuine.
Thank you to Harlequin and NetGalley for a digital copy for review!
