About this ebook

“A swift-paced, fun romp.”
–Charlaine Harris, New York Times bestselling author

Romance is about to get a little hairy.

Sophie Garou seems to have it all: a great job at a prestigious accounting firm, a closet that rivals a Nordstrom showroom, and a terrific boyfriend who isn’t afraid to use the “M” word. There’s just one little itty-bitty problem: Sophie is a werewolf–and her time of month has a whole new meaning.

Needless to say, life among yummy flesh-and-blood humans is no piece of steak . . . er, cake!, but regular doses of wolfsbane tea and a mother who runs a magic shop have helped Sophie keep her paranormal pedigree under wraps. Still, when a sexy, golden-eyed werewolf prowls into town, Sophie finds herself struggling to keep her animal impulses in check–not to mention trying to keep things on track with her super hot (and super human) lawyer boyfriend. What’s more, someone is threatening to expose Sophie for what she really is. And when her mother is accused of selling a poison-laced potion, Sophie must sniff out a culprit before the fur hits the fan.

Ratings and reviews

Fun, snarky and hair-raising. An accountant 1/2werewolf, 1/2 human, that have to shave constantly to keep her furry side at bay. She is dating a super hot tenuous lawyer, and he does not know of her changing ways. Her mother is a witch and is accused of murder. She tries to help free her mother while hiding her from her boyfriend and keeping her job and her sanity intact. That is not easy. She encounters a Alpha Were-wolf that has her blood boiling with pleasure...... Oh it just keep pilling on her plate of troubles. I found myself laughing all through this book with lines like-(describing a big bad were) "he had a funny tuft of hair over each eye-kind of like overgrown eyebrows. And the rest of him looked fluffy too, kind of like and Angora rabbit" " I stopped by Whole Foods to pick us up some dinner. No wonder they call Whole Paycheck. A cup of fruit salad is like five bucks" I enjoyed reading this these books, they just leave me feeling good when I am done.

Love this series! =)
