[ARC Review] The Wolf Professor by Lilith Stone

✨ PUBLISHER'S SYNOPSIS: When history Professor, Max Hunt arrives in Motham City to work on his new book, he finds out that his research assistant Charlie, is not the guy he expected… but a girl... a deliciously attractive human who keeps tempting his inner wolf to behave in quite a beastly fashion.

And what’s worse, his low life werewolf cousins want him to join in the Winter Solstice Rut. Something the high-brow professor would never consider—If it weren’t for gorgeous Charlie Sullivan and her delectable scent.

As for Charlie, she’s had a major crush on Max since she attended one of his lectures as a student. Being Max’s research assistant, working with him to uncover Motham City’s fascinating past is a dream come true.

But it’s not long before Max and Charlie uncover some scandalous secrets from their own pasts. And suddenly their overpowering attraction to one another starts to make perfect sense...

✨ MY THOUGHTS: I say this with every new release in the Motham City Monsters series, but Lilith Stone just keeps ramping up the steaminess and beauty between her main characters. After getting minotaurs, orcs, and gargoyles, it almost seemed too basic to feature a werewolf in this installment of the series, but I ended up loving Max and the journey he went on. 

Both Max and Charlie were well-developed characters on a similar journey. I loved that they were both doing well professionally, yet had so much to work through personally if they wanted a chance to move on and heal from their pasts. Charlie and Max might just have my favorite working dynamic of all the Motham City main characters, and I loved how they worked together both professionally and personally. It was easy to fall in love with both of these characters, even before they started falling in love with each other. 

The Wolf Professor was an easy read with a slow burn for most of the story, culminating in some good spice towards the end. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and plot, and thought that Max's research added a lot to the overarching Motham City storyline in the series.
