L.A heiress (Luna) meets small town handsome werewolf (Oliver).

It reads like a romcom movie. Cue fun banter, hilarious situation of accidental marriage, spicy scenes and struggles to overcome. Luna challenges her identity as a spoiled heiress, Oliver has a tough time with the past and they both have tension with how they feel about each other. Accidentally Wedded to a Werewolf is enjoyable and charming with just enough emotional pull, like one of your favorite romcoms.

The setting is modern day world but with cozy town-folk monsters, like minotaurs, hedgehogs and orcs. You learn more about the whimsical town and the monsters that live there as the story progresses.

This read will give you feelings of giddiness and add a little spice to your life.

The atmosphere in this story was absolutely charming—warm, inviting, and whimsical in a way that made me wish I could pack up and move there. Imagine a quaint little town with all the cozy vibes and supernatural creatures lurking about? That’s a mix I didn’t know I needed. I especially enjoyed the close-knit pack dynamic. There’s something so comforting about the idea of being surrounded by a group of people who always have your back. Honestly, sign me up.

Now, Luna... wasn’t exactly my favorite. She came off a little too pampered and had that over-the-top, Valley Girl attitude that grated on me at first. That said, she did show some growth by the end and managed to shake off some of the immaturity. I have to admit, her back-and-forth with Oliver kept things entertaining. I’m a sucker for the classic grumpy/sunshine pairing, and they definitely delivered on that front.

There were a few plot points that felt off, though. One scene that had me raising an eyebrow was when Luna just casually drank a mysterious bottle of alcohol she found lying around at a random inn in remote Alaska—seriously, who does that? Also, the sudden shift from hostility to hooking up felt a bit jarring. I get the forced proximity trope, but the transition could’ve used more buildup. That said, their connection eventually felt more organic as they spent time together and started opening up.

The finale, though? Loved it. Watching Luna finally reclaim her agency and make bold choices was so satisfying. She realized her potential and didn’t let anyone hold her back anymore—I was mentally fist-pumping as she left that spa behind. And Oliver going full-on protective alpha mode? Yeah, that was definitely a highlight.

In the end, this book was a delightful and comforting escape, with just enough spice and heart to keep me hooked.

So, a little backstory. This book was independently published before it was picked up by Harlequin/Harlequin-Romance. First, I love the passion the author showed for her work and that so many others believed in her that she was able to publish it. Second, I am reviewing the copy of the book being released by Harlequin-Romance. Ok, now that we got that out of the way, let’s go.

TL/DR: So hopefully you have read the synopsis? Awesome! Now, if you love stories with grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, an accidental bonding, a FMC that comes into her own and a MMC that is poked and prodded gently out of his grumpy exterior, some spice and a sweet, cozy town filled with all kinds of paranormal creatures who don’t hide what they are, this may just be the book for you. I honestly loved it. I wholeheartedly recommend picking up a copy.

Now, if you are still reading what can I really say that the synopsis didn’t that won’t ruin the book for you? Umm, there is a super cute hedgehog who owns a chocolate store that makes chocolates that are werewolf safe. How sweet is that? From the descriptions I wish I could crawl into the pages or order some online.

There’s a bookstore owned by a grumpy dragon with a cat who has its own merchandise. I mean, come on!

Honestly, the relationship between the FMC, Luna and the MMC, Oliver is sugar and spice and grumpiness with a side of stubborn from both of them. Their relationship develops organically, even as the spice from their bond develops beside it.

I would like to thank the author, Harlequin-Romance and NetGalley for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own and my review is voluntarily given. As always, I wish you happy reading!

This was OK! It was a little dry and needed a little more excitement, background, and chemistry. The writing style wasn't for me and I found myself falling asleep at times

Okay this was basically just Alexis Rose (Schitt's Creek) fanfic and I am here for it. Luna really rode the fine line between awful and endearing, so her redemption arc was even sweeter. Her poses and fake smiles made me want to throttle her, but it made me like her that much more when Oliver brought out her true personality. I cackled at the scene where Luna is trying to make Oliver a grilled cheese and her temper actually comes out. The smutty scenes ended up still feeling pretty emotional because of the way the bond works, so I think they enhanced Luna and Oliver's relationship instead of being a distraction.

A spoiled heiress gets trapped in a tiny Alaskan town for 2 months after accidentally bonding with a grumpy werewolf with trust issues. It's a pretty straightforward story that isn't super deep, but it is exactly what I wanted after reading several heavier books in a row. My only complaint about the book is that side characters were really only used for plot advancement instead of being standalone. We don't learn anything about the Musgroves other than they used to live in Arizona and Uncle Roy's past. How did Ben and Sabine meet? Why does Aunt Althea have a gold tooth? I assumed it was important because it was mentioned so many times, but I guess not. There were a lot of characters introduced that have no purpose, so I can only assume that this book will be a series and we will learn more about them in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley, Harlequin Books, and Isabelle Raylor for the free eARC.

Luna Stack es una heredera californiana acostumbrada a una vida de lujos y fiestas, no a tormentas de nieve ni a conferencias corporativas en medio de Alaska. Pero cuando su auto se desvía del camino en plena nevada y termina chocando contra el cartel de un inn destartalado, sufre un accidente... matrimonial.

Oliver Musgrove es un gruñón hombre lobo que solo quería evitar la fiesta familiar y arreglar el techo con sus propias manos. Lo que no esperaba era que una humana mojada, malhumorada y vestida para la playa apareciera en su vida… y bebiera accidentalmente de la sagrada botella que sella los matrimonios entre los de su especie.

Ahora, unidos por un ritual ancestral que ni entienden ni desean, Luna y Oliver están obligados a convivir en el Musgrove Inn hasta que puedan romper el vínculo. Pero el destino y la escasez nacional de flores de divorci tiene otros planes. Entre nevadas, encuentros tensos, toques de humor y una chispa que se niega a apagarse, ambos deberán descubrir si este accidente fue en verdad tan desastroso como parecía.

No ccuento esto como infidelidad, ya que, aunque Luna estaba comprometida, su relación era abierta y ambos podían tener otras parejas sexuales. Además, no se amaban; eran más como amigos con un compromiso que les resultaba conveniente y nada más.


Gracias NetGalley por el ARC.

A charming blend of wit, whimsy, and supernatural romance, Accidentally Wedded to a Werewolf is delightfully unexpected. Isabelle Taylor delivers a clever, fast-paced story with just the right amount of tension and heart. The chemistry crackles, the humor lands, and the emotional moments hit with surprising depth. A quick yet satisfying read for fans of paranormal romance with a twist.

thank you so much for the approval- i cannot wait to dive in, this is one of my most anticipated reads of the year! i will be sure to leave a review on GR/retailers to come!
