Instant attraction, of course!Logan's cover is blown early in his job, and he and Veronica end up spending a lot of time together. And spending a one-half night stand. (Yes, I made that term up, but it fits.) Veronica is aware that Logan is a playboy, but she doesn't know that he's a werewolf. And she doesn't believe that her secret admirer is a creepy stalker.And then it all hits the fan. Veronica realizes that her secret admirer is a dangerous, creepy stalker. She finds out that Logan is werewolf. And Logan realizes that he's falling into a relationship that he doesn't want.A happy ending just doesn't seem to be a part of the plan.A Heart-Warming Love Story:Logan is an Ian Somerhalder look-alike who will curl your toes. He's protective, sexy and funny. He has a side to him that he keeps secret. I'll keep his secret, also, so you can find out for yourself. He was introduced in Gone With the Wolf, but comes alive in Four Wedding and a Werewolf. He has a lot to learn about love.Veronica has a lot to learn about prejudice. Although she's witty and has some great lines, there are times when she's unintentionally nasty. You just want to unintentionally smack her upside the head.The book moves along at a good clip as you turn the pages to see what Logan and Veronica or the stalker will do next. Although I did guess the identity of the stalker early on, the climax is creepy enough to make up for it.Four Weddings and a Werewolf is a fun, funny, light read with an edge of danger to it. It's a nice blend. Mild spoiler alert: The last chapter is beautiful and guaranteed to leave you smiling and satisfied.
