Werewolf romance novels are my comfort reads. When I need a book that will make me laugh or get me out of a reading slump, werewolf romances are my first choice. Much of my love for werewolf romance books comes from the "fortuned mates" trope that almost always shows up in these kinds of books. When big bad werewolves can't love or find a mate, it's so sexy and sweet. Another reason why werewolf romances are so hot is because the characters' bodies know that they need to get it on as soon as possible. See? Werewolf books are always good for your mood.

There are some people who don't like books about werewolves, but there are a lot of people who do. These werewolf books have a huge fan base. The thought of looking for werewolf romance books on the internet made me close to going over the edge. There are a lot of werewolf-themed paranormal romances written each year.
