Book 9 of 9 in SWAT: SPECIAL WOLF ALPHA TEAM

He's a wolf shifter.

She hunts monsters.

How can she be The One for him?

SWAT werewolf Zane Kendrick will do whatever it takes to take down the man who attacked his pack. His search takes him to Los Angeles, but when he meets Alyssa, the smart, sexy agent who comes to his aid, he's immediately interested in pursuing more than just the next lead. All his wolf instincts tell him that she's The One.

FBI agent Alyssa Carson has investigated some weird stuff lately, and finding missing people drained of their blood definitely falls into that category. When following a clue leads her to Zane, she agrees to work with him and his team. She's attracted to the gorgeous Brit, but she doesn't have time for anything but finding answers.

When Zane and Alyssa discover the sinister truth, it'll take everything they have to make it out of this mission with their lives—and hearts—intact.

Praise for Paige Tyler's Wolf Rising:

"If you love hunks in uniform, a spitfire heroine, drama, danger, intrigue, and some really steamy moments, then get your hands on Wolf Rising." —Fresh Fiction

"Will leave readers panting." —Booklist

"This fast-paced procedural brims with heat and action." —Publishers Weekly

"Totally unputdownable." —USA Today Happy Ever After

Amazon

The SWAT series is no stranger to surprises, a few books back the team of highly trained alphas learned about The One and then found themselves the targets of an assassination attempt. SWAT member Zane Kendrick’s search for the ones responsible lead him from Dallas to Los Angeles where he meets FBI agent Alyssa Carson who may or may not be part of the group that is trying to eradicate all werewolves. Meanwhile Alyssa is trying to solve her latest case that involves missing girls and a body drained of all blood.

That Paige Tyler sure knows how to keep readers invested in her characters! Wolf Instinct packs quite the punch if you’ve been reading the series from the beginning. Which I highly suggest you do before picking this one up. All the wolves are hunky but Zane’s got a little something extra… He’s British! *insert sexy accent here*

FYI in my mind he sounds a bit like Clive Owen. *swoon*

Anywhoo, Wolf Instinct relies a lot on the plot for its pace and it works so well when it comes to the suspense and action. Just who is snatching young women off the streets and why? Is it connected to the attack on the SWAT compound? Those questions and more are answered even as more questions arise. It was quite the ride, however I do think that the romance took a bit of a blow with this book. Zane and Alyssa’s relationship is definitely of the “insta” variety and I had a difficult time buying into their declarations of love after only a handful of days in each other’s company. Even if Alyssa is The One for Zane, I would have liked their love story to rely less on that legend and more on them getting to know one another.

Romance aside though, Wolf Instinct had me firmly in its grasp and part of the reason is because Tyler really lets readers get to know her characters. Zane has been around since the beginning so he’s familiar but if you’re just jumping into the series, Zane is a great guy to start with, though I really do recommend reading the series in order. Paige Tyler doesn’t disappoint and I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

"Intense action, sizzling romance, and bold writing... Paige Tyler has a new fan in me!"―LARISSA IONE, New York Times Bestselling Author, for Wolf Hunger

Just when he's found The One...he might lose her.

SWAT Officer Jayden Brooks doesn't believe there's a soul mate out there for him―The One. But when he saves high school teacher Selena Rosa from a hostage situation, he knows he's in big trouble. Her scent is irresistible.

Selena finds the big cop irresistible, too. In fact, the buttoned-up teacher gets a little carried away―during a steamy make-out session, she bites him. Turns out, the traumatizing events at the school triggered her werewolf gene. Fangs and claws are appearing and her aggression is out of control. The change is happening, and Selena doesn't understand.

It's going to take everything Brooks has to pull her back from the edge...and ultimately win her heart.

Readers are hungry for Paige Tyler's SWAT series:

"I don't think I will ever get enough of Paige Tyler's Special Wolf Alpha Team."―Night Owl Reviews Top Pick, 5 Stars

"I love the SWAT series, I love Paige Tyler, and now multiply this tenfold!"―Fresh Fiction

"The chemistry is scorching hot."―RT Book Reviews

Most series would have lost my interest by now but not the SWAT series by Paige Tyler! She’s back with an all new book in the super hot, super intense series about a group of alpha werewolves working as a SWAT unit in Dallas. The series has expanded since the first book and now includes beta wolves, omega wolves, and more. I couldn’t be more thrilled with the direction this series is heading.

Taking the lead this time is werewolf Jayden Brooks, a character longtime fans (like me) are familiar with. He essentially rescues teacher Selena Rosa from a hostage situation involving one of her former students when he realizes she’s The One. Basically, it means she’s the one fated to be his lifetime love and partner. But of course, things get complicated real fast because that hostage situation just triggered Selena’s werewolf gene and she’s going through the change. Worse, she’s showing signs of becoming an omega wolf, the most out of control and violent breed Brooks has come across.

Wolf Rising takes on a more urgent tone than its predecessors because the werewolf hunters introduced a few books back are getting more and more aggressive in their quest to eradicate Brooks and his fellow wolves. There’s a lot of tension present throughout the whole story and the hunters serve as a conflict that is going to take not just all of the SWAT team, but all the allies they’ve managed to make along the way. It’s a two steps forward, three steps back kind of game that has me coming back to this series as eager as I was when I picked up the first book a few years ago.

As bad as the hunters are, they don’t take away the spotlight from Brooks and Selena. Their romance is complicated but it’s a solid one, and yes it is a case of near instantaneous love for them, but because Wolf Rising is a paranormal romantic suspense it works really well. Brooks is total boyfriend material and Selena is a tough as nails woman more than capable of learning to control her aggressive wolf side which was a conflict all its own. In this book, readers learn more about the omega wolves that up until now were thought to be irredeemable and dangerous. I really love how Tyler has managed to keep the series fresh by weaving more strands into a world she’s already established without overcomplicating things or confusing readers. She doesn’t overdo it when she’s rehashing previous events to catch new readers up, and she makes sure that longtime readers get fresh, new material.

One of the constant things I really enjoy about Wolf Rising and the books before it is the relationship and work dynamic between the SWAT team. They’re not a group of wolves following an alpha, they’re ALL alpha wolves. They just don’t have the controlling d-bag tendencies that seem to be popular in other sub-genres of romance. These wolves are big, bad, and dangerous but they also have the ability to crack readers up with their sometimes childish teasing of each other. Brooks gets teased by his fellow alphas but he knows that they are the ones he can count on to watch his back. After they’ve made fun of him of course. I love those guys. Every single one of them.

Overall, Wolf Rising is a stand out addition to the SWAT series with the edge-of-your-seat suspense, red-hot romance, and a cast of werewolves that you can’t help but fall in love with. I can’t wait for the next book.

Book Reviews: X-Ops Exposed (X-Ops #8) by Paige Tyler

X-Ops Exposed (X-Ops #8)

by Paige Tyler
April 3, 2018
Paperback, 384 pages
Sourcebooks Casablanca

Lion hybrid and former Army Ranger Tanner Howland retreats into the forests of Washington State to be alone—he’s too dangerous to be around people. He had to leave the love of his life behind but little does he know, she followed him.

Dr. Zarina Sokolov has an anti-serum she hopes will make Tanner human again. But before she can convince him to take it, they discover he isn’t the only hybrid that survived the experiment. And there are people who want to use the hybrid shifters for sport, pitting them against each other for money. But does Tanner have what it takes to save his fellow hybrids and Zarina—or will he lose control again?

Eight books, can you believe it? Eight books into Paige Tyler’s X-Ops series and things are going in a direction that could lead to a major battle for survival. I don’t know about anyone else but I’m excited.

Tanner has been a character that I’ve wondered about since he stepped onto the pages of the first book. As a shifter hybrid, Tanner was created in a lab and therefore had most of the characteristics of the hybrids. He was stronger and faster than natural born shifters but like other hybrids, he was also wild, uncontrollable, and very dangerous. But he also had a deep connection with Zarina, a doctor that was being held prisoner along with him. Their connection has been shown in all the books leading up to this one and it really is a special one.

Throughout the series, Zarina has been trying to help Tanner control his more savage urges and for the most part, it had been working, until an event forced Tanner to unleash his hybrid side and he accidentally attacked a friend. That freaked him out enough that he left the DCO where he’d been staying to live in the woods. Naturally, Zarina followed him and was almost mauled by a bear until Tanner showed up to chase it off. Zarina stubbornly refused to leave him and Tanner has no choice but to keep her with him. Not that it’s a hardship, these two have always shown how much they care for each other even if they never officially crossed the line into lovers until now. Of course, nothing is ever easy and soon they find out that Tanner wasn’t the only hybrid survivor and that humans now want to use them for sport, pitting hybrid against hybrid for money.

Fans of the series already knew Tanner and Zarina were deeply in love but the thing was these two characters hadn’t openly admitted it to anyone. X-Ops Exposed did justice to their relationship by first showing just how special and deep their connection ran. Zarina was the sole calming influence on Tanner’s otherwise dangerous hybrid side and Tanner brought Zarina comfort and solid friendship. Paige Tyler then puts these two in situations where they spent a lot of time alone together without the prying eyes of the DCO and their shifter friends. Their romance seemed so natural and so right while at the same time hot and sexy. It was during their moments together that you get to see a more lighthearted, charming side of Tanner. He’s happy for once whereas before he had this sense of doom around him. After eight books of him being Mr. Negative/Emo, I did a double take at the new side of him. It was refreshing and kept the character from feeling stale and becoming predictable. As did the setting for this book.

X-Ops Exposed takes readers away from the DCO to see how “The Other Half Lives” aka shifters and hybrids who weren’t picked up by the DCO and are having to scratch a living for themselves in hiding. I’m hoping that the hybrids have a larger role to play in future books since they’ve been popping up so much recently.

With eight books down, there are a lot of characters at this point and I’m sure many more to come. I enjoyed the quick “check-ins” with most if not all the characters from previous books and I just realized that up until this point I haven’t had a favorite couple from this series. This is unheard of for me! By this time in a series, I usually have a stand out favorite but the series is so much fun and the characters have all been on equal standing with me that I haven’t said: “Oh my gosh this one is my favorite!” They all have something special.

As it has been since the beginning, I enjoyed this book. It was definitely more on the romantic side because Tanner and Zarina’s emotions have been building up in the background of previous books and if you’re a fan of longing, friendship, and love then X-Ops Exposed might end up being your favorite in the series.

Paige Tyler’s paranormal romances are easy on the reader and that’s part of their appeal in my opinion. There’s more emphasis on characters, romance, and plot than on saturating it with paranormal aspects. I love that I can get my dose of paranormal without getting a headache with massive info dumps about species of creatures, histories of those creatures, feudal families, etc. The X-Ops series is straight up romantic suspense with paranormal elements. That means that each book can easily be read as a standalone but I will admit that readers will get the most out of them if they’re read in order.

Book Review: Wolf Hunger (SWAT Book 7) by Paige Tyler

Wolf Hunger (SWAT Book 7)

by Paige Tyler

December 5, 2017
322 pages

Sourcebooks Casablanca

Wolf shifter and SWAT Officer Max Lowry falls hard for she-wolf Lana Mason, but things spiral out of control when wolf hunters track her down, and Max realizes Lana has no idea who—or what—she really is.

SWAT Series:

Hungry Like the Wolf (Book 1)

Wolf Trouble (Book 2)

In the Company of Wolves (Book 3)

To Love a Wolf (Book 4)

Wolf Unleashed (Book 5)

Wolf Hunt (Book 6)

Wolf Hunger (Book 7)

Get ready for another action-packed installment of Paige Tyler’s SWAT series!

The guys are back in Dallas and trying to cope with the new information about werewolf hunters that they gained in New Orleans. At an awards ceremony of a few of their own, Max Lowry meets Lana Mason and knows she’s the fated One for him. She also happens to be a werewolf but before Max can settle in and do his own happy dance, he finds out that Lana doesn’t know she’s a werewolf AND she’s the daughter of the deputy chief in charge of the police department’s specialized Tactical Division aka the guy in charge of the SWAT team. So instead of making things easy it actually makes things worse but Max isn’t one to give up and so he and Lana start dating like normal humans. Until the threat of the werewolf hunters reaches Dallas and Max has no choice but to give Lana a crash course on what she is. She doesn’t handle it well of course and the timing couldn’t be worse as the SWAT team is being spread thin with so many werewolves coming to them for protection.

I always enjoy each couple in the SWAT series but Max and Lana are definitely one of my favorites. Max has always seemed like a happy-go-lucky guy until you find out (or remember if you’re a long time fan) that Tyler’s werewolves don’t become werewolves until they’ve experienced a traumatic event. Max’s “event” is one that can hit home for victims of domestic violence because Max is a victim. As big, strong, and good as he is, his past shows a time when he wasn’t. It makes him relatable and an almost perfect hero. He’s funny, charming, and has a protective streak a mile wide.

Lana surprised me too. First of all, she didn’t have a clue that she was a werewolf so that made things a bit interesting. She was so spunky and sassy too! And confident! Lana didn’t let anyone, even her dad cast her into the role of the powerless, placating female while he played the bossy, overprotective father. She was an adult and let him know it.

Paige Tyler delivered more this time around and it made Wolf Trouble a better story for it. There’s more action, more suspense, more romance, and of course more hunky SWAT guys because this book, while a standalone romance needs Max’s fellow alpha wolves to really make the secondary plot work. The book packs a real punch as the impending clash with the vicious and violent werewolf hunters takes a big step forward and hits the SWAT guys close to home. Before this conflict, these wolves were virtually unbeatable and invulnerable to anything but the women (and men) they end up falling for but these hunters aren’t messing around and they’ve come prepared. At one point Wolf Trouble had me biting my nails because Max and his pack were NOT prepared for the attacks against them and it was a close call! That’s good writing folks and I can’t wait to see how the SWAT guys and ladies fight back.

Book Review: Her Dark Half (X-Ops #7) by Paige Tyler

Her Dark Half (X-Ops #7)
by Paige Tyler
September 5th 2017
Mass Market Paperback, 352 pages
by Sourcebooks Casablanca
Trevor Maxwell
Coyote shifter with an attitude

Covert operator
Trusts no one, especially his devastatingly beautiful new partner

Alina Bosch
Former CIA, newest operative on the covert team
Hired to spy on her partner
Motto: "Never be deceived again."

Coyote shifter Trevor Maxwell is teamed up with CIA agent Alina Bosch to catch a killer. But when the mission becomes much more dangerous than they expected, they're going to have to ignore the attraction between them and learn how to trust one another to come out on the other side...

With everything that happened in the previous book, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Her Dark Half to see just how my favorite characters old and new would handle the fallout.

The setup is that after the murder of his former boss, Coyote shifter Trevor Maxwell doesn’t know who to trust outside of the now branded “rogue” shifters accused of murdering said boss. Trevor certainly doesn’t trust his new human partner Alina Bosch, a former CIA agent secretly hired to spy on Trevor. But they’re definitely attracted to each other and they don’t have much time to learn to trust each other before their real enemies close in on them.

From the very start, Her Dark Half hit the ground running and kept up a pretty fast pace which I appreciated because there was a definite sense of urgency and a small window of time that Trevor and Alina had to work with. I could almost hear the clock ticking in my mind as the plot progressed and it seemed like Trevor and Alina would put the puzzle pieces together too late. All of Tyler’s books have that “can’t put it down to save my life” feel but this book totally got my blood pumping and had me biting my nails for real with how narrowly these two escaped with their lives.

As a couple though, Trevor and Alina’s romance kind of took a back seat because, hello! There were a few more important things to get done and lives to save but that didn’t mean that there wasn’t a romance. I loved how Paige Tyler made their romance seem natural even though they started off not trusting each other. The timeline was pretty quick for a romance but I felt it was more of a this is a great beginning to something real kind of love for Trevor and Alina. If that makes sense.

The big plot twist that occurred in the previous book is resolved here which okay I thought was a bit quick but at the same time there were a lot of loose ends that could keep the series going for a long time (Oh please let it keep going for a long time, it’s one of my favorites). I did love the twists and turns that happened towards the end because it made me feel like while the Big Bad was down, he wasn’t the only Big Bad, in fact there are bigger, badder ones out there that this tight knit group may not be prepared for. That uncertainty makes for very exciting possibilities and again, more books.

Her Dark Half can technically be read as a standalone BUT I wouldn’t suggest it. Start at the beginning of the series so that the build-up to this point leaves you with the best feeling. I kid you not it is worth the time.

A STORM IS BREWING...

Remy Boudreaux is back in his hometown, New Orleans. He's there with three of his fellow Dallas SWAT officers for a week of training with the NOLA PD. On the eve of a tropical storm, Remy and his buddies prowl the French Quarter. One tantalizing scent captures Remy's senses, forcing him to follow until he is face to face with Triana Bellamy—his beautiful high school crush.

After reconnecting, Remy and Triana are close—very. Remy struggles to keep things casual. Ever since his partner—and first love—was killed on the job, he's kept women at a distance.

But when a mysterious wolf pendant ropes them both into danger, Remy's protective instincts kick in. He may have to reveal his true self...and hope Triana accepts him.

Wolf Hunt (Book 6)

Wolf Hunt takes a few of the Dallas SWAT members to New Orleans to help the NOLA P.D. with training. For Remy Boudreaux though it’s a homecoming, especially when he picks up on an irresistible scent that leads him straight to his old friend and high school crush Triana Bellamy. Even though things between them quickly heat up, Remy is determined to keep things casual but when Triana’s life is put in danger because of a mysterious pendant, Remy sticks closer to keep her safe.

Paige Tyler has fast become THE author I go to when I want a bit of the paranormal to go with a steamy romance, she’s got a team of hunky alpha werewolves that not only work together as a pack but they bring out the funny in each other. It’s like a testosterone filled comedy sometimes and I always look forward to those scenes as much as I do the romance.

Remy just might give Xander a run for his money as my favorite SWAT male (Khaki will forever hold the title as my favorite female cause she’s female, awesome and an alpha!). Remy’s a smooth talking charmer with a healthy dose of wariness when it comes to love because his first love was killed on the job. There was just something so effortlessly seductive about him. I’m telling you, Xander had better watch out!

Triana on the other hand had no idea that Remy was a werewolf. She was just happy to see him again and a little surprised at the intense attraction between them. I enjoyed Triana because she wasn’t some silly girl with mush for brains. She loved her hometown but she also knew that she had to know how to defend herself in any way she could. She was a smart, sassy, fun, and had her own kind of charm that came from being confident in her own abilities.

Wolf Hunt had a lot of the same wit and brisk pace that I’ve come to love about the SWAT series but it was also a little different too. For starters, with everything going on in Wolf Hunt Remy and Triana’s romance kind of takes a back seat which normally would bother me except there is so much excitement and new developments going on that it didn’t take away from my overall enjoyment of the story. Then there’s the fact that the story takes place in New Orleans instead of Dallas which exposes the Remy and the three team members that go with him to a new environment. And finally there was more than just the typical drug runners and thieves that Remy and his fellow SWAT members had to deal with: A group of people who know of the existence of werewolves and are hunting them down. As tough as the SWAT guys are, they don’t seem too prepared for a group that may know more about them than they do. It will be interesting to see in what direction Tyler takes the series with this new threat. I know I’m excited to see what will happen, so long as there’s always a member of the SWAT team around I know it will be good. I just love the idea of an all alpha group of werewolves who can work together and live like a family.

FORCED TOGETHER

She's being recruited for her shifter abilities by the Department of Covert Operations.

WILL DANGER RIP THEM APART?

Braden has been chasing the smart-mouthed cat burglar for years. But when Dreya's taken away, he knows their game of cat and mouse has turned deadly-serious. There's no way he'll let her go off alone. Fur flies and temperatures flare as Braden realizes Dreya is much more than she appears. Thrown together on a dangerous covert mission, this unlikely pair will have to rely on each other to make it out alive.

amazon

Detective Braden Hayes has finally caught the cat burgler he’s been after for years but before he can question her, two agents swoop in and escort his thief out. Feline shifter Dreya Clark thinks she’s safe from Braden’s prying questions but when the agents reveal that they not only know about Dreya’s shifter abilities but that she’s being recruited to work for the Department of Covert Operations because of them, Dreya starts wishing she had stayed with the detective. Then Braden is discovered following them and he’s brought into the DCO as well. As Dreya’s potential partner. That’s when things turn seriously hot, and seriously dangerous.

Paige Tyler is shaking up her X-Ops world in a big way with Her True Match!

Longtime X-Ops fans (Like me) already know who Braden and Dreya are. He’s been trying to catch her in the act of stealing and she’s been lucky enough to avoid being caught until now. I’m glad that Braden and Dreya’s book was the one to shake things up. They’ve been a favorite of mine since the very first time they appeared on the pages in a previous book. Their chemistry was always there and I’m glad that they both lived up to my expectations. Braden and Dreya made an excellent team in part to that chemistry and their attraction to one another but also because whatever one lacked, the other made up for. It was a great balance that was showcased the best when these two were on a mission and having to watch each other’s backs. The action and fast paced plot leaves no room for boredom and that’s one of the things I love best about this author.

Her True Match also brought in almost all of the previous characters in some way, even if it was just mentioning their names, and that was a little bittersweet because right when I thought everything was getting wrapped up at the end, Tyler dropped a bombshell of a twist that had my jaw dropping and my emotions rioting. I’m definitely not going to spoil it because you just have to read this book for yourself (I would recommend reading the previous books first so that you can grasp just how much of a shocker this was), I will say that it was really gutsy of Paige Tyler to shake up the bigger plotline this way and it left me with the question of: What’s next for this group and for the ones that come after? I’m such a fan of Tyler’s work, she always manages to get me so involved with all her characters and her storylines but with this one, wow, I was caught off guard by the way this book ended. Now I’m just trying to distract myself until the next book is out and I can find out just what’s going to happen next.

What a way to make sure this fan loses her mind while waiting for the next book! Her True Match is definitely going on my Best Reads of 2017 list.
