The Art of Seducing a Naked Werewolf by Molly Harper-a review

THE ART OF SEDUCING A NAKED WEREWOLF (Naked Werewolf #2) by Molly Harper

THE ART OF SEDUCING A NAKED WEREWOLF is the second instalment in Molly Harper’s Naked Werewolf series. Stepping back to the first book “How To Flirt With a Naked Werewolf”, the book titles are a reflection of some of the content of the stories. Laughing at their ridiculous circumstances, the werewolves of Grundy Alaska find themselves in the precarious position of human nudity whenever they shift from wolf, and once in awhile, there happens to be an audience. This storyline follows Maggie Graham, whom we were first introduced to in the previous book.

Maggie Graham is the new pack alpha. Elected into the position when her brother Cooper stepped aside, Maggie knows it will be difficult, especially when all the eligible males come looking for a mate and Maggie is one of the few remaining females available. Wanting to keep the shifter line alive, Maggie considers her options, but when a nerdy yet sexy full human comes to their small town, Maggie is experiencing jealousy and emotional turmoil when ever another woman is in his presence. Could this human be Maggie’s future mate?

Nick Thatcher is a researcher- a self-professed nerd and a reluctant Trekkie. Hoping to discover the truth behind the myth surrounding supernatural beings and shape-shifting wolves, Nick finds himself in Grundy Alaska, chasing reports and sightings about giant wolves. And when the beautiful Maggie Graham tells him it is time to leave, Nick is determined to stick it out to the very end, even if it means, giving up everything he has worked for. But the wolves have kept to themselves, and are not about to let a human reveal the truth about their lives.

Several males are vying for Maggie’s attention including a distant cousin and a new comer to the pack. But distant cousins have been stroked off the list of potential mates, and the new comer is looking like her best opportunity for mate selection. And of course there is always the human-who for some reason-makes her heart flutter and her stomach drop every time he is near. Not withstanding an assortment of accidents, near death experiences and gunfire, Maggie is uncertain as to why her pack has been threatened. But like everything in life, there are people who do not like her choices and another pack looking for new territory.

The storyline is slow to build, as is the relationship between Maggie and Nick. Plenty of background information from the previous storyline weaves throughout the novel, which is always good for new readers to the any series. The characters are quick with the one-liners and snappy come-backs. Told from Maggie’s perspective, the reader is along for the ride as she debates the pros and cons of a full-breed mate versus the love of her life, and suffering the well-meaning intentions of a very large extended family. Molly Harper writes with plenty of humor that will keep a smile on your face when a certain wolf takes a bite out of someone’s ass.

How To Flirt with a Naked Werewolf by Molly Harper-a review

HOW TO FLIRT WITH A NAKED WEREWOLF (Naked Werewolf #1) by Molly Harper

HOW TO FLIRT WITH A NAKED WEREWOLF is the first storyline in Molly Harper’s Naked Werewolf series. Set in Gundy Alaska, the story focuses on Mo Wenstein, the daughter of two hippies still stuck in the mindset of the Haight-Ashbury era.

Mo needs to leave Mississippi, get away from her smothering parents and start a new life as far away as possible. And heading to Gundy Alaska seemed liked the right move. Finding a place to live was easy- a secluded cabin in the woods- and landing a job that basically drops into her lap-even easier. But finding a wolf with blue-green eyes eating an elk in her backyard was a little disconcerting. It was as though the wolf was looking right into her soul.

Cooper Graham is a werewolf. As the alpha of his pack Cooper left under uneasy circumstances, leaving Eli in charge. Hoping one day to return, Cooper takes up residence in Gundy, where he is neither friendly nor outgoing. But seeing the beautiful new comer at the local saloon has called up all of Cooper’s alpha male instincts-and his wolf wanted its’ mate.

Mo is the new girl in town who has caught the attention of every available male, but there is one male who seems to hold a definite grudge. When a large wolf comes to Mo’s aid during an attempted robbery, Mo recognizes the eyes, but it is not until a very injured and naked Cooper falls onto her front step does Mo know for sure.

A very large wolf has been attacking the local residents, but when 2 young tourists go missing, the hunt begins for a rogue wolf. Mo is concerned that the attacks may have been werewolf related and possibly by Cooper himself. But as their relationship grows, Mo realizes that the man she is falling in love with, could not be the wolf destroying the lives of the people she now calls her friends. But when Cooper is called back home, he must face his family and his pack.

Cooper is a reluctant alpha. He believes himself unworthy and has left his friend Eli in charge. But as the attacks increase, so does Cooper’s concern. Believing himself capable of killing, Cooper leaves town without a word, knowing he has abandoned his mate in the process. But it is not until his mother reaches out, does Cooper know where his heart belongs. Only now, his mate may be the next victim in a power struggle for pack control.

HOW TO FLIRT WITH A NAKED WEREWOLF is an easy read and a lighthearted look at life in small town Alaska except there are a few supernatural critters. Picture Joe Manganiello as Cooper and all your worries will fly. Molly writes with humor and smart one-liners that will have you laughing along with the storyline. Her characters are your basic home-spun people trying to survive the harsh winters and cold nights. The story is enjoyable, a fun read with a little romance on the side.

Nice Girls Don’t Bite Their Neighbors by Molly Harper-a review

Nice Girls Don’t Bite Their Neighbors  (February 2012 release)– Book 4

Nice Girls Don’t Bite Their Neighbors begins with Jane finally saying yes to her boyfriend and Sire, Gabriel, who was forced to turn her when she had been mortally injured. She finally feels that she is in a good place (after being turned into a vampire) and ready to get married. Before the celebrations can start though, Jane’s grandmother, Ruthie, dies. Along with that, while Jane is outside of her bookstore in town, a car comes out of nowhere and hits Jamie, a young man that Jane babysat when he was a child and their families had been friends for years. Jamie was dying and Jane made the decision to turn him in to a vampire in order to save his life. Once that is done, Jane is required by the council to take care of her “childe”, which means he has to move in with Jane and Gabriel so that they can teach him how to live as a vampire. On top of that, Grandma Ruthie, who has never been approving of Jane, either as a human or a vampire, starts haunting where Jane, Gabriel and Jamie live. She is bound and determined to drive them from their home.

Jane and Gabriel are a little overwhelmed with everything going on and decide to leave the house for an outing, where they are attacked and Gabriel is shot with an arrow and poisoned. All of this while trying to plan a wedding. Jane’s mom and sister are great in helping out with the wedding plans, (even though they have not been close in the last little while), as are Andrea (Dick’s wife, and to say dick has more connections than any mafia don is an understatement) and Jolene (Zeb’s wife). Zeb is Jane’s best friend, who also happens to be a werewolf. All along though, accidents keep happening.

To say there are a few bumps in the road during this story is an understatement. A lot of humans are furious about Jane turning Jamie, and constantly deface her bookstore. Once folks figure out that Jane did it to save him, they eventually come around. Dick and Andrea are instrumental in helping sort out who keeps causing the accidents. And Jane’s aunt (who is a ghost and Grandma Ruthie’s sister), finally come up with a way to get rid of Grandma Ruthie’s ghost. In the end, Jane and Gabriel say their I dos and are off to enjoy their honeymoon.

I really enjoyed this book and getting to know the characters. I have not read the first three books in this series, but will definitely be going back to read them! I enjoyed the humor in the book and the crazy situations they constantly found themselves in. The leader of the Vampire Council was frozen into her immortality at 16, so the fact that everyone has to take orders from a teenaged looking girl is hysterical. Jane is quick-witted and plays beautifully off of the other characters. There are so many scenes that will literally make you laugh out loud. And when they all gather, ghosts and vampires alike, to vanquish ghost granny, it was hysterical. And the outcome of Jane’s kidnapping (while getting ready for her wedding) will have you laughing and shaking your head. If you like quick, fun reads, you’ll definitely enjoy this book!!
