Werewolves🐺, Small town🏘️, accidental marriage💍, strangers to lovers❤️,monsters👾

Luna Stack finds herself stranded in a small town in Alaska. The inn she stays at is run by a pack of werewolves. Somehow she manages to accidentally ignite a werewolf wedding ritual with Oliver. You can see their story unfold from hating to potentially something else. However Luna is engaged to someone else so the goal is to find the flower to break the ritual. Not only does the story evolve but so do the characters and their whole demeanor.
Personally i thought the story was “cozy” a bit cheesy at times but interesting and happy ending. I enjoyed how I got to meet every character and their personalities. Has some spice🌶️ and romantic cute moments.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you, NetGalley for the ARC!

3.25/5 rounded to 3/5

Cheesy but entertaining! The plot and setting was fun, I felt like I was missing a little emotional connection between Luna and Oliver but I enjoyed this.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing this as an ARC

The epitome of grumpy/sunshine, cozy town, cozy werewolf family. I was obsessed with this book and could not put it down. Hours flew by as I curled up and sent various non-spoiler quotes to friends as I was sure they needed to add this to their TBRs.

The main characters were messy and imperfect, but Taylor did a great job of showing their character development as they learn from the community and each other. I love a good snark off where both people are stubborn and can't give in and boy did this book deliver, from the banter/fight regarding who gets to push the shopping cart to the whole Musgrove family dinners. I loved the secondary characters too who, while not terribly deep (most not all), were very charming and played a fun role in the story.

I have never wanted to visit Alaska so much as after this book hoping to find my own 'Claw Haven'.

I would and already have absolutely recommended this book. It's very 'Bride' adjacent which I couldn't get enough of, both in plot and 🔥🔥🔥. The perfect book for when you want something light that you know will make you laugh. It seems like there are more books in this series and I'm so excited to check them out. So much possibility! Now I'm off to go re-read the last 1/3 of the book for the feels.

Thank you so much NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for an honest review, what a pleasure!

P.S. I love the new cover, what a phenomenal upgrade!

Loved reading the mesmerizing and spellbinding paranormal story. When Luna's care breaks down, she accidentally gets bonded to a grumpy werewolf, Oliver. Reed the highly recommended, wonderfully written, and a must read riveting story.

Sugar and LOTS of Spice. Spoiled, engaged, Luna is on the backroads of Alsaka during a snowstorm when her car slides off the road, directly into the sign of a decating, small inn. Inside, she meets a family of werewolves, some friendly, some not so much, and one completely put out that she's there. While checking in, she's invited to a party. Although she declines, she does sneak a drink out of a fancy bottle - after all, it's a party, right? little does she know it's a bonding serum that the cranky werewolf she met also had a drink of. The effects are immediate as Luna and sullen Oliver are accidentally wed. The catch? They can't be far apart from each other, or Oliver will become seriously ill.
Thanks to an open relationship, suggested by her fiancé, Oliver and Luna soon form a physical bond. Their very physical bond is written about in tingling detail. But as Luna's wedding date is approaching, the rush to find the special ingredient to a de-bondong serum is in full gear. But will Luna choose her lavish lifestyle or remain part of the pack she's been with for just a few months?
Sweet relationships are formed with Oliver's family and the locals.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were well formed. I only have two suggestions /complaints. The reader has to find out that a variety of monsters are commonplace to humans. It isn't a surprise that the town is filled with a variety of mythical creatures to Luna, but as a reader, I have to just figure it out. Also, Luna is a well-written character. But the author throws in an occasional "toodles" or "tres-[awesome]." It's just weird and makes me wonder about how shallow Luna is and if her sincerity to the community and her new friends is an act.

Thanks to NETGALLEY for the preview of this book.

I almost dropped this book from the first couple of chapters, the fmc is sooooo bratty and spoiled, it actually pissed me off, I found the mmc to be unbearable, and some of the lexicon threw me off. Once it gets going these things kinda peter out and it makes for a super fun read. The banter’s fun, the characters are interesting, and I liked the plot. After you get through the first little bit of the book it turns into a very cozy, cute, and charming little book.

Thank you Net Galley for the eARC.

Accidentally Wedded to a Werewolf is a light, cozy paranormal rom-com about a woman who accidentally married a werewolf while travelling through a small town — as readers we got to navigate supernatural drama, magic, and their unexpected feelings. It’s fun and humorous, with low stakes and an easy vibe.

While the tone was enjoyable, the FMC’s personality and the romances "insta-love" created a lack of emotional buildup, and for me is hard to connect with. The plot was repetitive at times, and the cheating-adjacent element (she was engaged!) took away from the romance’s impact. Cute concept, but didn’t fully land for me.

This book delivers a lighthearted, cozy paranormal romance that’s easy to enjoy but doesn’t quite hit the magic of truly memorable reads.
If you're looking for a light, feel-good paranormal romance with a quirky cast, enchanting snowy setting, and some mild heat, this one does the job. But if you're craving deeper development, stronger emotional arcs, or a fresh twist on the genre, then it may fall just a bit short.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Romance for this eARC in exchange for my honest review!

What a fun read! This is a perfect book if you’re looking for a quick and spicy read that has small town and found family vibes. I found both main characters to be a bit hard to like at first but they both eventually warmed up to each other. I also like how progressive Luna was in regard to relationships!

Overall this is a fast read and perfect for vacation! There seems to be a lot of potential for other characters to have books too.

Accidentally Wedded to a Werewolf by Isabelle Taylor
⭐️ 3 stars

Tropes & Themes:
🔹 Grumpy x sunshine
🔹 Accidentally married 💍🐺
🔹 Small town full of supernatural creatures
🔹 Forced proximity
🔹 Slow burn with magical tension ❄️🌙🛏️



Okay this was honestly really cute and super cozy even if it didn’t totally blow me away 🐾 Accidentally Wedded to a Werewolf follows Luna, a spoiled heiress who gets stranded in a snowy little monster town (as one does lol) and ends up magically married to a grumpy werewolf named Oliver. Chaos and magical bonding ensues 🫠

The vibes? Hallmark movie meets Twilight with a sprinkle of cottagecore monster romance. Luna and Oliver are total opposites. She is high maintenance and sparkly, he’s broody and emotionally constipated but their banter was cute and the bonded pain if they’re apart thing added some real tension. I also loved the charming little town and all the supernatural side characters.

My main issue was just that the plot felt a little repetitive in the middle and the emotional development didn’t hit quite as hard as I wanted. It had some ✨potential✨ to be deeper or funnier, but kind of stayed in the mid range zone. Still it was a fun and cozy escape read!



Final Thoughts:
If you’re in the mood for something light, magical and a little ridiculous in the best way, Accidentally Wedded to a Werewolf is an easy pick. Not life changing, but charming, sweet, and full of wintery monster romance fluff ❄️💘🐺

This was a delightful beach read; in spite of most of it being set in chilly Claw Haven, the fictional Alaskan town where party girl Luna is stranded in the months before her wedding. Characters are engaging and fun, and the town sports a cast of well fleshed out characters to bolster the MCs. The author's addition of details throughout the story had me google-ing "Wolf Mating Biology". This was a lighthearted, lovely, sincerely enjoyable book with characters that experience plausible growth and the very real pangs of adjusting to the world after a complex betrayal.

3.75 stars. ARC was received via NetGalley and Harlequin publishing.

This was super sweet and would be best read when there’s snow on the ground for the extra ambiance.

While it felt like there was a missing novella about the brother and his wife, the story was sweet and fun. The MFC was infuriating with her vapid mentality in the beginning, but she grew on me by the end.

Definitely a grumpy-sunshine kind of romance with knotting and open views on monogamy. I wish there was more smut, but you can’t always get what you want. I’d be excited to see what else this author comes out with in this series.

I love a good shifter book and this was so much better than I expected. The characters were well written and well defined. The plot had an actual purpose and the book was truly well written. This was the first book I’ve read by this author and I’m looking forward to reading more.

I got the book for the title and enjoyed a romcom. My only struggle was a "me thing" in Luna was engaged when she met the MMC and while it was an open relationship, I found Hector an unnecessary add on.

I almost stopped reading after the first chapter. I got that there would be a werewolf- it was in the title, after all. That said, a whole town of “monsters” and a human just seemed ridiculous. By the fifth chapter I was slightly invested in Luna and Oliver. By the chapter fourteen, I was invested in the whole pack, the entire town of Claw Haven, AND I was invested in seeing Oliver and Luna grow together!

Isabelle Taylor crafts a touching story about love, trust, family, and- of course- the redemptive power of love.

This was my first romance book that included the supernatural, but it will not be the last!

honestly not sure about how i feel about this book. i think that this book was super fun and easy to read. for the most part, the plot was really good. it's just i couldn't really deal with this fmc, luna, as she was acting super immature for the majority of the book. their relationship also kinda felt super insta-lovey too me and they kinda just did the deed before actually knowing each other. (but they're both werewolves, so i guess it's the bond's fault??)

⤷ thank you to netgalley, the publisher and the author for providing me an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was ridiculously fun to read but also emphasis on the ridiculous. There was a bit of everything. A cozy small town. A city girl meets small town boy. Accidental marriage and forced proximity. Grumpy and sunshine. It was a cozy romance with plenty of spice, featuring monsters and werewolves. Luna was a bratty hot mess that’s full of sunshine. Oliver was a grumpy werewolf. The duo had some fun banter and hilarious moments. Overall, the book was light hearted and fast paced. I finished it in less than 2 days, and that’s with doing household chores, running errands, and cleaning. I wished I had saved this for my upcoming vacation. This would have been perfect to read while lounging by the pool. Or, more so around the holidays when everything gets cozy.

Goodreads review posted on 07/09/2025

Accidentally Wedded to a Werewolf was an unexpectedly cute story with some definitely angst and pining toward the end. From both the FMC and MMC, there were some connecting feelings of how they felt toward each other and whether it was from them or the bond between them. When Luna gets stuck in Oliver’s Inn and gets accidentally bonded to him, she finds different projects to keep her occupied throughout the town. One of the elements that I loved is that the author expanded on the interactions with supporting characters rather than solely focusing on the FMC and MMC.

Some of the tropes in this book included forced proximity, opposites attract, grumpy and sunshine, and a bit of small town charm and meddling family. These, I personally feel were executed well in the book, making it a fairly light read and kept me engaged until the end.

A cute cozy monster romance. At the beginning we meet Luna, I didn’t like her at all. She was the typical entitled rich girl that gets stuck in a small town. But then we see her evolution to something more and it’s thanks to Oliver and his family.
I loved Oliver , we think he’s a grumpy guy but he has so many layers and trauma. He’s my favorite character of the book.
Loved their banter and their chemistry. Also, te secondary characters were very interesting to get to know .
