Synopsis: As the owner of Get a Mate Dating Service, Rylie is more than happy to step in and lend a hand to lonely lycanthropic hearts all over town. No matter how hopeless Rylie might be in finding her own soul mate, she has a knack for helping others find theirs. Convinced that she is stuck with a family curse, Rylie is positive she will never find her true love. But when drool-worthy Jack Chandler shows up at her door, Rylie wonders if maybe the curse is finally broken.
But Rylie’s life is about to become complicated courtesy of the after-dark crowd. When she begins receiving strange notes and harassment from a jilted client, events careen out of control. Jack knows she’s more hassle than he can handle. What he doesn’t know is whether she’s seriously in trouble . . . or simply delusional.
Review: This book is a blend of a couple of genres; I’d say it is a mix of romance and urban fantasy. How to Date a Werewolf focuses on Rylie, and her day to day life and job with all that entails, now add to that the fact that she is a werewolf.
It is a lighthearted paranormal story, with elements of danger from an unhappy client who turns into a stalker and romance from Rylie’s attempts at dating the guy next door all mixed in together and it really works. It does however, start out really slow so stick with it, I know I’m glad I did.
I’m giving this a 4/5.
