Dakota Cassidy (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 5, 2008

When Marty Andrews gets bitten by a mangy mutt while walking her teacup poodle, her blond hair darkens, the hair on her legs starts growing at an alarming rate, and her mood swings put her dream job as a sales rep for Bobbie-Sue Cosmetics in serious jeopardy.

Then a drool-worthy man shows up at her door claiming that he accidentally bit Marty. And since he's a werewolf, she is now, too. Thinking Keegan Flaherty is clearly insane, Marty refuses to believe a word until a kidnapping makes her realize there's more at stake than just her highlights. And she must put her out-of-control life in the hands of the man who makes her blood run wild in more ways than one...

From Booklist

Cassidy, a prolific author of erotica, has ventured into MaryJanice Davidson territory with a humorous, sexy tale of cosmetics saleswoman Marty Andrews. She is so obsessed with her career that she has no friends and no boyfriend. But one evening her teacup poodle goes berserk and attacks a huge dog, and Marty is bitten. Her color palette is no longer flattering, and her legs start growing hair like crazy. Then hunky Keegan Flaherty shows up and apologizes for turning her into a werewolf while in his wolfish form. Turns out he is CEO of Pack Cosmetics and alpha of his werewolf pack. As Marty tries to come to terms with her bizarre new state, her lust for Keegan, and her derailed career, she finds love, danger, friends, family, and the ability to swear like a drunken sailor. --Diana Tixier Herald

5.0 out of 5 stars Could Not Put It Down!, February 25, 2008

This review is from: The Accidental Werewolf (The Accidental Series, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

You know when you start to read a book and you get so into it that you forget about eating and sleeping and even your children? This is one of those books. I literally could not put this book down and finished it in 2 days. (It would have been hours, not days but the children did eventually convince me that they needed food.) I cannot wait to read Nina's story. Come on July 2008!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!!, February 19, 2008

Marty Andrews is on her way to being a top seller for Bobbie-Sue Cosmetics. She's already eyeballing that sky blue convertible as she is determined to show every woman just how great she can look if she just uses the right make up from her color wheel. Her plan looks like it will be successful... until she meets Keegan Flaherty. Or rather, until Keegan bites Marty! Keegan is, after all, a werewolf. Now Marty's colors are all wrong as she is turning brunette while she has to shave her legs at least twice daily. Unfortunately, being bitten by a werewolf is the least of Marty's problems as now someone wants her dead. Will Keegan and Marty find out who the culprit is or will Marty be doomed?

THE ACCIDENTAL WEREWOLF is one of the funniest books I've read in awhile! Dakota Cassidy injects humor throughout the story, while still maintaining a high level of suspense. Who is behind the attacks on Marty and why? And almost as importantly, how on earth will Marty cope with all the changes in her body?

Marty's snarky personality hits just the right tone. While her obsession with cosmetics and appearances would lend you to think Marty is shallow, she is much deeper than that. Marty is a woman determined to be successful and she's taken her love of looking great and turned it into a career. Becoming a werewolf is not on her agenda at all and the results that ensue are hilarious!

THE ACCIDENTAL WEREWOLF also has an underlying message about families. Marty has been alone most of her adult life and has a strong work ethic she inherited from her mother. On the flipside, Keegan is part of a pack and used to having a large family around him. The resulting clash between these two very different upbringings is thought provoking.

Dakota Cassidy takes the werewolf mythology and spins it on its head! Her unique take on werewolves is nothing short of hysterical as THE ACCIDENTAL WEREWOLF is guaranteed a spot on my keeper shelves. Highly recommended!

The Accidental Werewolf by Dakota Cassidy is cute, funny and will leave you wanting more.

Not only are the main characters fun and appealing but the secondary characters will have to screaming for them to get their own books too.

I absolutely LOVED this book and highly recommend it to anyone that wants a good laugh.
