From Goodreads:

Down, Boy
Anna Moder has just witnessed a shooting, seen her car pulverized, and rescued a wounded stranger only to discover he's really a werewolf. And by her recent standards, things are actually looking up. Lycanthropes don't faze Anna. Doctoring a wolf pack outside Grundy, Alaska, is the closest thing to home life she's known in years. But hitching a ride to Anchorage with long-absent pack member Caleb Graham that's a risk. Part of her itches to whack his nose with a newspaper. The rest is trying unsuccessfully to keep her own paws off every delicious inch of him.
The problem is, Caleb employs his lupine tracking abilities as a notquite-legal bounty hunter, and Anna is suspicious of both him and his profession. On the run from her past, with old problems closing in, she'd like to stay far, far away from anybody with connections to the law. Caleb, however, seems determined to keep her close. Are his intentions noble, or is he working a more predatory angle?
Anna's been dreaming of returning to a semi-normal life, but now she's experiencing a strange new urge . . . to join Caleb in running with the wolves.



My Thoughts:


This turned out to be my favorite book in Molly Harper's, Naked Werewolf series.  I don't know if there will be anymore books in this series, but I really do hope so! I just can't get enough of her fun characters, and their antics and banter.

Like the other two books, there was lots of humor and cute werewolves in How to Run with a Naked Werewolf.  This story also dealt with the serious and sad topic of domestic violence. Anna is on the run from her persistent husband, who has made her life a living nightmare. She has been hiding for years, and has kept her fear of him locked up inside. Anna also doesn't allow herself to get close to people for fear that her whereabouts will be made known. She is on the path to obtaining a new name and  ID, when she meets Caleb.

One thing that  I liked about this book was that there wasn't an insta-romance! There was plenty of  chemistry between the two main characters, Anna (Tina) and Caleb, however, and boy did it sizzle.  Caleb was wonderful! He was canny and fierce, yet he's also kind and nurturing to Anna. Although he is a cousin of Maggie and Cooper, he was seldom mentioned in the other two books. I'm glad we got to learn more about him, and he ended up being my favorite male character. Anna was a force to be reckoned with. She is really intelligent and sharp, and used her abilities to help Caleb with his job.

Another thing that I appreciated in this book was that it that the ending didn't wrap up in a perfect little bow.  As in real life, the characters and to work on a couple of issues, before they could have a HEA. Now that I have read this series, I am going to look into more books by Molly Harper!
