How to Help a Hungry Werewolf is a paranormal romance with a plus-size FMC, a frenetic friends to enemies to lovers story with a slow burn into a dirty-talking inferno. To be honest, I don’t think I am the target audience for this book. I read it because I like Charlotte Stein and because I am trying to read romances with plus-size characters.
While I was reading , I was reminded of Stein’s book “Never Sweeter” more than once. This was not a bad thing. “Never Sweeter” was one of the only bully romances I enjoyed (probably because it was more of a post-bully redemption story.) There is fat phobia and fat shaming on-page and historical.
While this will never be a favorite of Stein’s books for me personally, I feel people who are shifter aficionados will enjoy it quite a bit.
Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press and the author for an advance review copy. All opinions are solely my own.
