**Please note that you don't have to read Book 1 first, however, I may inadvertently provide minor Book 1 spoilers as I type up the review for Book 2.Veronica Vale is the sole proprietor of Veronica Vale Weddings. Lately, she's been receiving gifts and flowers from an admirer. She loves the fact that someone is noticing her but things get really weird when the surprises start containing small amounts of fur. Fur that, quite frankly, resembles wolf fur - and that brings on a whole different set of issues.Veronica detests werewolves. After an anonymous one attacked her sister, Leah, forcing her into werewolf-hood, and ultimately destroying the bond between the human sister and her now-wolf sister, Veronica wants nothing to do with anyone in the pack - except Leah. Fortunately, after the attack, Leah has been taken care of properly by her new pack and is even marrying another wolf, Jake.As preparations are being made for Leah's wedding, Veronica is also handling the rest of the weddings on her schedule. At the latest wedding, she notices a really hot guy across the room who keeps watching her. On a dare from a friend involving a brand new set of shoes she's been eyeballing, Veronica goes up to the mysterious, and hot, stranger and introduces herself.Logan Black wishes he could be anywhere but at a wedding - a human wedding, at that. He's been assigned to protect the sister of a packmate's finance, after she started receiving anonymous gifts from a stalker that is also including some of his/her own fur/skin/blood. He finds her very attractive, but Logan isn't the relationship type. He's here to do a job - protect one female from a crazy, rogue werewolf. Plus, Veronica's made it very clear that she doesn't approve of werewolves.As the stalker becomes more daring and quite a bit more bold, Logan needs to pick up the pace and figure out who it is before anyone gets hurt.Four Weddings and a Werewolf is a fantastic second book in the Seattle Wolf Pack series. There isn't a lot of crossover but, if you've read Book 1, you know we first meet Logan there. We also get a small, important scene featuring Drake and Emelia. I loved the mystery behind the stalker, which is how the author unites Veronica with Logan. I did figure out who the stalker ultimately ended up being but until the key scene played out, it was purely speculation on my part.Veronica has had a hard life, and losing her sister to a pack of wolves didn't exactly make her day. Leah still communicates with Veronica and loves her dearly, but being part of the pack doesn't include her totally human sister, Veronica. This is what fuels her disdain for werewolves. They protect their own, sure - but Veronica gets left out in the cold with no other family to interact with, and she, with good cause, feels like they've stolen Leah from her. Her interactions with Logan are very entertaining at times, with bantering back and forth that made me laugh out loud.Logan is a complex wolf. He talks himself into believing that he's not relationship or marriage material. He keeps Veronica at arm's length for as long as possible but he succumbs to the fact that he likes her - A LOT. The chemistry is there between the two from the very start - from that first glance across the room at a wedding - and continues to intensify, even though Veronica tries to convince herself that wolves are out of the question and Logan tries to convince himself that he doesn't do relationships or marriage.This novel will keep you glued to the pages from start to finish wondering such questions as:Who is the stalker and what are his/her motives?Can Logan protect Veronica, who clearly doesn't understand the sinister threat that has entered her life?Will Veronica and Logan get over themselves and give a relationship a chance?Will Veronica's friend remember to buy her the shoes she so clearly won in the bet at the beginning of the book?Be prepared to stay completely engaged in this novel since you won't be able to rip your eyeballs from the pages!**Content Warning: There are adult scenes appropriate for those 18+ only.Review Copy Courtesy of: Entangled Publishing/NetGalley, at no cost, in exchange for an honest review.
