Marty Andrews is having a bad week. First, she’s bitten by a mangy mutt while walking her teacup poodle. As a result, her salon-perfect blonde hair begins darkening by the day to something that’s sooo not in her color wheel. Her mood swings have turned her into The Hormonal Hulk. Worse yet, the hair on her legs is growing at a rate even a body slam into an entire vat of wax couldn’t cure. Last, and most important, her dream job as a sales rep for Bobbie-Sue Cosmetics is going to hell in a handbasket …

The only high point is Keegan Flaherty, the drool-worthy man who shows up at her door. Of course, he’s clearly insane. Keegan claims that he accidentally bit Marty, and since he’s a werewolf, she is now, too. Red meat cravings aside, Marty refuses to believe a word until a kidnapping makes her realize there’s more at stake than her highlights. And she must put her out-of-control life in the hands of the man who makes her blood run wild in more ways than one …

This is a captivating novel that starts a little slow, but speeds up quickly and grabs your attention. Great character development is one of this author’s strengths - Cassidy really brought them to life in my mind. Readers laugh with Marty as she obsesses over her color wheel, and can easily empathize with her as she worries over fitting into the pack scene and frets whether or not she’ll ever transform more than merely growing a tail. Readers feel Keegan’s pain as he agonizes over committing one of the cardinal sins in werewolf culture in centuries (biting and turning a human) and the varied consequences of his actions.

If pressed to give a short description, I’d say this was a ‘laugh out loud’ book, as that’s what it will make you do. I look forward to seeing more of Cassidy’s work in the future.
