Accidentally Wedded to a Werewolf
by Isabelle Taylor
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.
