Author: Paige Cuccaro
Release Date: June 27th, 2017
Age Category/ Genre: Paranormal Romance
Publisher: Swerve
A sassy, sexy debut about a young woman who agrees to marry her billionaire playboy nemesis to save her business, only to find out he's also a werewolf and that her problems are just getting started.
There are two things Kate Affetto will do anything to protect: the younger brother she's raised ever since their father walked out, and the small diner she's managed to start from nothing in New York City. Things might not always be easy, but at least she gets to call all the shots and follow her own heart. That is until Jack Pensione, irritatingly gorgeous billionaire playboy and CEO/heir to the family empire shows up at her diner with an ultimatum: find $3 million to purchase the space, or vacate so it can be turned into condos.
But Kate isn't going down without a fight. So when Jack offers a third option—marry him, and he'll gift her the space—she agrees, knowing it'll save the life she's built for herself and her brother, and that the marriage will be over practically before it's begun. After all, it's not as if she actually likes Jack, or as if he's actually attracted her at all... Little does she know he's also a werewolf, that he's vying to be the alpha of his pack, and that her problems are just getting started.

Thank you, Swerve!
Well, I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for paranormal romance to be
a thing again. Seriously. Bring back the vamps and werewolves and everything
else.
And I think… I think it’s slowly happening. At least in the adult
category.
I’ve been recently approved for three adult paranormal romance books on
NetGalley these past few weeks, and since Marriage
Claw was the one with the closest publishing date, I immediately started on
it. That’s how much I’ve been dying to read a paranormal romance.
Marriage Claws had a few elements that instantly attracted my attention: billionaire
alpha (and no, I don’t mean CG kind of billionaire alpha), hard-working MC, a
little bit of hate to love and fake relationship, and (obviously) werewolves.
The story started out really well with Kate and Jack going head to head
because they wanted different things: she wanted to keep her restaurant and he
wanted her to clear the space she was occupying so he could continue with his
condo expansion plan. The supernatural elements were already present, but Kate
was oblivious to the whole thing—until Jack proposes a deal: marry him and he’ll
let her keep her restaurant. But marrying Jack means entering a world she didn’t
even know existed.
Up until Kate agreed to marry Jack I was really into the story and
anxious for the supernatural elements to come into play. The problem is the
supernatural side of the story didn’t live up to my expectations. I thought
Kate gave in and accepted Jack’s true nature a little too fast. I wasn’t a fan
of how Kate reacted to her brother’s involvement in the story. And I wished
Jack had been a more asserting alpha. In the end, I thought there was something
lacking to make the story extra special.
I liked how the author added a twist here and there on the werewolves
mythology, bringing in new elements or rewriting old ones. I also enjoyed
reading about Kate and Jack falling in love.
Most of all, I liked seeing this title out there because it could be a
sign one of my favorite genres is coming back to life.
