Synopsis (Goodreads):

A heartbroken witch, a cursed werewolf, and a fated encounter under the full moon.

Belinda loves curse breaking. When a man shows up at her shop asking for help, she’s delighted to assist.
Who wouldn’t help their fated mate after all?

Things go from bad to worse and now she’s left on the rebound. Perhaps riding the local lake monster through his heat will be enough to patch up her wounded soul and get her life out of the rut it’s fallen in.

Getting lost in the woods on the way to her date was not a part of the plan.
What also isn’t a part of the plan? Belinda has unfinished business coming for her with an entirely different type of rut in mind.
Can she outrun what hunts her? Does she want to?

Thoughts on Ensnared by the Werewolf: A witch with a gift for untangling tricky curses and a werewolf with a sticky curse. They seem like they'd be a solid match since Belinda isn't put off my Jack's physical peculiarities (thanks to said curse), but Jack was stubborn and hurting and things did NOT go as Belinda hoped.

So she set out to forget the sexy wolf by going on a date with a lake monster. EXCEPT...Jack might think he's okay with Belinda looking elsewhere, but he's really anything but. And once his beast gets riled up there's a little moonlight chase through the woods and some physical moments the two get to engage in once said chase ends.

A little magic, an understanding witch, a werewolf with a little baggage to unpack, and a VERY invigorating hunt. *thumbs up*
