The Art of Seducing a Naked Werewolf by Molly Harper
3.0
I went into the book having lowered my expectations - all the reviews said so. The book was messy in a way.
Maggie, brother to Cooper from the previous book is the lead for the book. When a new PhD comes in to research on werewolves, Maggie gets roped in to "handle" him. There is an attraction on both sides when they first see each other. But, to Maggie, being an alpha IS her life. Everything revolves around it. Which is fine and good - lovely to see a heroine whose life does not revolve around the love of their life. The problem is that too much of the going-on focuses on the alpha-stuff and the love story is a additional story. I don't get why they even love each other. I'm not shown the stage where it goes past like, lust and to love. It's a one big jump. Nick is a cardboard, albeit an handsome but a cardboard nonetheless acting as Maggie's love interest. At the end of the day, I can't even come to care about their so-called relationship.
For a supposed person who fought to be an alpha, she sure is dumb. Maybe she likes being an alpha, maybe she understands the responsibilities but she doesn't seem to put them to practical use. And she keeps yelling most of the time - either at Samson, Nick or anyone (except maybe her mom). She is not likable which is fine if she could have acted with more sense and not veering towards the TSTL line. The best saving grace of this book and the reason why it ended up 3 stars is the prose. The dialogues were very witty. The world-building good. Both of these made an enjoyable read.
