How to Run with a Naked Werewolf by Molly Harper

Title:  How to Run with a Naked Werewolf

Series:  Naked Werewolf Series Book #

Author:  Molly Harper

Genre:  Paranormal Romance

Blurb:  Anna Moder has just witnessed a shooting, seen her car pulverized, and rescued a wounded stranger only to discover he’s really a werewolf. And by her recent standards, things are actually looking up. Lycanthropes don’t faze Anna. Doctoring a wolf pack outside Grundy, Alaska, is the closest thing to home life she’s known in years. But hitching a ride to Anchorage with long-absent pack member Caleb Graham—that’s a risk. Part of her itches to whack his nose with a newspaper. The rest is trying unsuccessfully to keep her own paws off every delicious inch of him.  The problem is—Caleb employs his lupine tracking abilities as a not quite- legal bounty hunter, and Anna is suspicious of both him and his profession. On the run from her past, with old problems closing in, she’d like to stay far, far away from anybody with connections to the law. Caleb, however, seems determined to keep her close. Are his intentions noble, or is he working a more predatory angle? Anna’s been dreaming of returning to a semi-normal life, but now she’s experiencing a strange new urge . . . to join Caleb in running with the wolves.

Thoughts:  Wow, I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed this book!  I had tried Molly Harper’s Nice Girl series awhile back, but I just really didn’t connect with it at all, so I was a bit leery of this series as well.  But while scrolling through Netgalley for more books, this one popped up, and the cover and the blurb immediately caught my attention.  I found that I just had to give her another shot, and am I glad I did!  The story is so well done, so well written, and the characters so likeable that I had a hard time putting this one down until I read every last word!  The sweetness between Caleb and Anna, particularly as he’s taking it slow and trying to win her over, is just compelling – and once the sparks ignite, the chemistry just blows you away!  Bring on the confessions, the pack taking her back into the fold, and the unity as they fight to protect their own just all winds together for one of the best books I’ve read in awhile.  I will definitely be delving back into the previous books in this series!  And who knows? – I might just wind up giving the Nice Girl series a try again!
