The Wolf Professor is book 7 in the Motham City Monsters series by Lilith Stone, a paranormal romance series set in a world where monsters have been segregated from humans for many years, but that has been gradually changing.
Charlie has taken a job as assistant to Max, a historian and author. Charlie has had a crush on him since he was a guest lecturer in the class she was taking, so she is excited to be working for him. Max is a werewolf, in denial of his inner wolf, and trying to come to terms with his heritage.
Motham City Monsters is such fun, easy series to read and enjoy. I think with every review of this series I have mentioned that I love the world building the author has done. She has set up a fairly complex history for multiple monster cultures, and their relationships between each other, and the humans of their world, but without getting detailed enough to make the story boring.
I loved the match between grouchy Max, and happy, upbeat Charlie, they seemed the perfect match for each other. Max really seemed to need someone to bring him out of his shell, who could help him get a new perspective on his family history, and Charlie seemed to fit that role perfectly.
A warning for people who need it, there is a short scene where Charlie is attacked by a group of youths, but Max makes a timely rescue, and she is not seriously harmed….although the result could have been much worse with the situation she was in.
For the most part though, this was a relatively light hearted, steamy romance, with Max reconnecting with his family roots, and getting a new perspective on the history of his race. I will be going on the hunt for the book I missed, and looking forward to the next book in the series.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
The Wolf Professor will be released on December 6 2024.
