"She found him in the dog pound!"

Who knew that when J. C. Jensen went to the local shelter to adopt a cute little dog her entire life would change? She ends up adopting the ugliest dog in the shelter. When she takes him home he is very territorial to any guy who comes around her and steals her steak.

When she meets her hunky neighbor Max, it is an immediate intense attraction that she cannot nor want to deny.

WOLFMATES:AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN HOBOKEN by Dakota Cassidy is a hilarious, sexy romance where the Max goes looking for his lifemate thanks to his grandmother Eva who found his destiny in her chicken noodle soup. Max is certain that his grandmother should give up chicken soup, but he revises his opinion after being caught by the local dog catcher and he sees his future in the sexy woman who adopts him.

Max now needs to convince J. C. that he is the one for her and also to let her in his little secret. That he and Fluffy her new found dog are one and the same.

I thought AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF in HOBOKEN was one of the funniest things that I have read. The scene where J. C. takes "Fluffy" to get his rabies shot is worth the price of the book alone.

Lovers of paranormal will definitely want to check out WOLFMATES:AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN HOBOKEN.

Summary

No, no... I know what you're thinking, but don't let the cover fool you... this is not a BDSM story!! And it ain't your typical werewolf tale either.

JC Jensen, a hairdresser in Hoboken, New Jersey, is happy living alone and focusing on her career. JC decides that maybe a dog might be a better companion than the boyfriends she's had, so she heads off to her local animal shelter to find a puppy that needs a home. Like a cute ball of fluff, ya know?

What she comes home with is a beast that the shelter says is part wolf -- and destined to die. He's mean, he's ornery, he has enough fleas to require fumigation, and he's a hairdresser's nightmare, but JC is compelled to adopt him. The shelter is amazed when he only responds to her (no surprise for you there I'll bet). After a trip to PETsMART and a bath, JC dubs her new buddy Fluffy. Fluffy loves steak and hates her ex-boyfriend Jess, which is just fine by JC. He's her perfect match -- so perfect she thinks if only he were a man they could pick out china together.

But Fluffy likes to roam and when he takes off one night JC's new neighbor Max Adams consoles her by inviting her in for pizza. Max is hot and he has a great head of hair. JC and Max have nothing in common -- he's a country boy and she's a city girl -- but sexually speaking (you knew that was coming, didn't you?) Max is like no other man she's met. He does have some peculiarities though...like a strange affinity for red meat, and his allergic reaction to anything silver. All of this has JC wondering where Max comes from and why -- despite their differences -- she can't keep her hands off of him...

Oh, and the biggest plus of all? Max really digs her big, mangy mutt Fluffy...
