Generations of werewolves have been secretly residing in a secluded valley a stone's throw from Grundy, Alaska. So when a snooping Outsider comes to Grundy to investigate rumors of lycanthropic shenanigans in the area, the valley's pack alpha, Maggie Graham, resolves to chase him away, even if doing so takes a quick bite on the butt. What a pity that researcher Nick Thatcher turns out to be so drool-worthy, and that his kisses make Maggie want to sit up and beg.
Maggie just can't seem to convince Nick to leave . . . and even worse, she can't convince herself to stay away from him. Cross-species dating is problem enough for a harried alpha female, but on top of that, a rival group of werewolves is trying to move into the valley. With interpack war threatening, Maggie can't afford to be distracted. Combining romance and a career can be tough for anyone; for a werewolf in love with a human, it may be disastrous. . . .
REVIEW
This is the second book in the Naked Werewolf series and this time it's Maggie's turn. Maggie, as you'll no doubt recall, is the younger, brattier sister of Cooper, the reluctant Alpha werewolf and Joe Manganiello lookie like we met in book one.
And like a younger sister might, the book kinda sits in the shadow of its older, better looking brother in almost every way. A lot of the ingredients I loved so much from book one are in evidence, just a little dulled; the shine taken off them a wee bit. The mystery, the romance, the funnies were all good, just not as good as book one.
Still, I have no regrets about reading it. It was nice to see Maggie's development from the first time we met her. I love how she is with Mo now, I wish those two had more scenes together. And of course it was nice to be back in Grundy and see all those familiar faces.
As far as I know there are no whispers of a third book to the series, but if there was I would read it, definitely. I'm going to look at Molly Harper's other works, her vampire series, to see how that is.
3 Stars! ★★★
Well, the cover certainly caught my attention :) It's a shame it wasn't a five star wonder, the premise sounds entertaining. I like paranormal funnies...Gail Carriger being my favourite.

I like funny books too. The first book in this series I loved, made me want to move to Alaska!
