We're pleased to welcome Lana Ferguson to CLC today to talk about her latest rom-com, The Mating Game. This novel is different from some of the others we have featured, as it is paranormal. It sounds like a wild ride and, thanks to Berkley, we're excited to share a copy with you!
Lana Ferguson is a sex-positive nerd whose works never shy from spice or sass. A faded Fabio cover found its way into her hands at fifteen, and she’s never been the same since. When she isn’t writing—you can find her randomly singing show tunes, arguing over which Batman is superior, and subjecting her friends to the extended editions of Lord of the Rings. Lana lives mostly in her own head, but can sometimes be found chasing her corgi through the coppice of the great American outdoors.
Lana hopes to give the world all sorts of sexy stories between two dummies sharing a single brain cell—but until then: practice safe text, use commas. (Bio courtesy of Amazon.)

Contractor Tess Covington has spent her entire life as a regular non-shifter human, so after she lands in the Denver ER with flu-like symptoms, it comes as a complete shock to be told that, no, she’s not sick—she’s actually a late-presenting omega wolf shifter. With her family in dire financial straits and a contract for her own television show on the line, she can’t afford not to complete the renovation job she came for. And given that her newly emerged wolf is in danger of going into heat, she’ll just have to do her best to follow the doctor’s advice to keep away from alpha shifters.
Alpha wolf Hunter Barrett has spent most of his adult life living by a routine, and a big part of that involves staying clear of omegas after having one stomp on his heart. So when the tiny contractor shows up at his place smelling like the one thing he’s determined to avoid, he thinks it must be some sort of cosmic joke. But with his lodge on the verge of failing and this sweet-smelling omega his only hope to turn things around . . . he’s left with few other options than to grin and bear it.
Set on avoiding each other as much as possible, they find things unexpectedly starting to heat up between them enough to thaw even the frostiest of hearts. Though even with the pair going head over paws for each other, there’s no changing that their fling has an expiration date. The more time they spend together, the more they realize they’re playing a dangerous game—one where the only thing on the line is their hearts
"Ferguson weaves together a light romance with lots of steam… Fans of creature romances, snowed-in tropes, and grumpy-sunshine dynamics will love this take on werewolf romance."
—Booklist
“A book that will wolfishly appeal to the most heated fans of [the] omegaverse.”
—Kirkus
This one’s hard because my brain doesn’t tend to store compliments on the hard drive, but I love when people call my books “feel good” reads because that’s the only goal I really have when writing—to make someone feel good.
How is Tess similar to or different from you?
How is Tess similar to or different from you?
Honestly, Tess is very different than me. She’s far more independent; I require lots of handholding to get anything done. I also can barely hold a hammer. I’d love to be her when I grow up.
If The Mating Game was made into a movie, who would you cast in the leading role?
If The Mating Game was made into a movie, who would you cast in the leading role?
I’ll never say no to a bearded Henry Cavill; he’s pretty much the star of my of my fan casts. For Tess, I think Daisy Edgar-Jones would be fantastic.
What is your favorite winter holiday movie?
The Holiday! Peak Jude Law.
What is your favorite winter holiday tradition?
I’m kind of a bear in spirit, so I love when it gets really cold and I can spend lazy mornings in bed under a pile of blankets. If someone brings me hot tea while I’m there I’ll pretty much never leave.
What is your favorite winter holiday snack?
What is your favorite winter holiday snack?
My grandmother makes Chex mix rolled in peanut butter, chocolate and powdered sugar. We call it Scooby Snacks, and it’s delicious.
