How to Marry a Werewolf by Gail Carriger

Publisher's Summary

Guilty of an indiscretion? Time to marry a werewolf.

New York Times best-selling author Gail Carriger brings you a charming stand-alone story set in her wildly popular Parasolverse. Described as: Georgette Heyer goes to the wolves.

Werewolves

The monsters left Faith ruined in the eyes of society, so now they're her only option. Rejected by her family, Faith crosses the Atlantic, looking for a marriage of convenience and revenge. But things are done differently in London. Werewolves are civilized. At least they pretend to be.

Americans

Backward heathens with no culture, Major Channing has never had time for any of them. But there's something special about Faith. Channing finds himself fighting to prove himself and defend his species. But this werewolf has good reason not to trust human women.

Even if they learn to love, can either of them forgive?

From the best-selling author of the Parasol Protectorate series. Look out for appearances from favorite characters and the serious consequences of unwarranted geology.

A Note on Chronology

The Claw & Courtship novellas can be heard in any order. This book can be enjoyed without having heard any of Gail's other works. Set in the spring of 1896, this story occurs after events chronicled in Romancing the Werewolf.

Toll the Hounds was heartbreaking, so I decided to go gor something short and fun.

This hit the spot. It's fluffy and has some charming characters, silliness and romance.

~Check out my blog over at The Bent Bookworm!~Adorable novella set in the Parasol Protectorate universe (the Parasolverse). I was in desperate need of a good paranormal book fix after the catastrophe that was my last foray into paranormal books, and as usual Gail Carriger did not disappoint! I giggled and swooned my way through this little story and my only complaint is that it IS little. Note: You can read this even if you haven't read any of the other Parasolverse books, but it is much, MUCH more enjoyable if you're already familiar with the world and some of the characters. Recommend starting with Soulless. Now, I have absolutely LOATHED Channing ever since he first appeared in I think it was the second Parasol Protectorate book. I hated how he treated Alexia and his general airs of superiority towards the entire world. I was more than willing to see him get his icy little heart crushed and broken in this book. Faith is an entirely new character and I loved her! I love that she totally disdains societal expectations of her interests and hobbies (she's an amateur geologist). “Are the British opposed to the immigration of foreign rocks in principle or just in theory?...I assure you, sir, these rocks are mostly harmless. Your virtue is safe from nefarious rock infiltration.”Also, the narrative voice is hysterical, as is usual for Gail's books (yes, I might be fangirling just a little bit here). There are some amazing quotes, especially near the end, but I'll leave most of them out so you can discover them for yourself. Please just go read this story. It's so worth it and really doesn't take long!Pretty please?Short, sweet, a little bit sexy - but much less actual sex than Poison or Protect, another of the novellas. 5/5 stars, highly enjoyable and highly recommend, and can we please have more Channing and Faith?!?“I've looked all my life for family...now I know it is you...this is what you and I will do now. We will hold these broken parts of ourselves dear because they brought us to this point, and we will love each other wholly and completely.”Blog Twitter Bloglovin Instagram Google+
