How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf

Northern Exposure meets paranormal romance in this story of Mo Wenstein, who moves to tiny Grundy, Alaska to escape her hippie parents and start fresh. Her arrival in the remote town brings her face-to-face with both wilderness challenges and an antisocial neighbor who may be more than he appears. The narrative follows Mo as she adapts to life in Grundy, takes over the local saloon's kitchen, and investigates a series of mysterious animal attacks. Her growing connection to the reclusive Cooper Graham adds complications to her new life, especially as strange events continue to occur around town. Mo must navigate small-town dynamics, potential danger, and her own preconceptions as she builds a new life in Alaska. Her practical nature and sharp wit serve her well as she faces both supernatural and mundane challenges in her adopted home. The novel explores themes of independence, community bonds, and the balance between embracing or fighting one's true nature. Through humor and romance, it presents a fresh take on both the fish-out-of-water story and paranormal genre conventions.

The first-person narration and witty dialogue drive positive reviews, with many noting protagonist Mo Duvall-Wenstein's sarcastic commentary as a highlight.

🐺 The book's small-town Alaska setting was inspired by author Molly Harper's research into communities where single women were actively recruited to move north, similar to reality TV shows like "Looking for Love in Alaska." 📚 Before becoming a full-time writer, Molly Harper worked as a church secretary and a newspaper reporter, experiences that often influence the humor in her writing. 🌙 The novel blends multiple genres—paranormal romance, mystery, and romantic comedy—while incorporating authentic details about life in remote Alaskan communities. 🐾 The werewolf mythology in the book differs from traditional werewolf lore by making the transformation process less painful and allowing werewolves to maintain their human consciousness while in wolf form. 🏠 The protagonist's decision to move to Alaska was partly inspired by the author's own fantasy of "starting over" in a new place, though Harper herself has remained in Kentucky.
