Accidentally Wedded to a Werewolf
Signed Copy

Accidentally Wedded to a Werewolf

LizzyI loved Claw Haven and it's cast of characters - a collection of creatures all doing their best in amongst a snow storm that brings Luna Stack to town and leaves her accidentally tied to a rather wonderful and grumpy werewolf. It's tropes done well - with forced proximity, fated mates, and a spicy romance all coming together in a way that was both funny and touching and left me SO excited for the next book in the series.
