The guys in the Special Wolf Alpha Team (SWAT) are hotter than ever.

SWAT werewolf Diego Martinez was on a mission to save lives when he walked into the hostage situation—he didn't expect to find a newly turned teenage werewolf and the kid's fiercely protective mother. For Bree Harlow and her son, Brandon, Diego is a godsend, and not just because he saved the day.

Bree has spent the years since her divorce trying to do her best by Brandon. But lately the boy who used to tell her everything has been keeping secrets. In the face of all the bizarre things happening at home, there's something about Diego that Bree can't resist—especially when he's able to explain Brandon's new abilities.

But the hostage incident was just the start in a wave of violence that no one can explain, and when Bree and Brandon are caught in the middle, Diego will do everything in his power to protect the family he wants as his own.

"SWAT is hot hot hot!"—Kerrelyn Sparks, New York Times bestselling author

"Paige Tyler's SWAT series hits all the right marks, blending steamy paranormal fantasy with modern-day realism."—Larissa Ione, New York Times bestselling author

Eleven books in and Paige Tyler has not lost the magic with the SWAT series! There’s a character for every reader and then some!

SWAT member Diego finally gets his own book! Diego can read hostile situations better than his teammates, and he has a knack for being able to talk down most of the dangerous people he comes across. It is what makes him essential as the team’s negotiator. And it is how he meets Bree and her teenage son.

Diego and Bree made such a good couple. I loved how grounded both characters were and how both were naturally nurturing and caring of each other and of Brandon, who happens to be a werewolf. Diego helped Brandon transition into his new life as a beta, all while he was falling for Bree and helping his SWAT team deal with an increasing number of calls for help kept the book at a brisk, intense, and interesting pace. There’s a buildup to something bigger in the plot, and I’m excited to see where this new threat takes these characters and the series.

Wolf Untamed is the first SWAT book to have the influence of the spin-off STAT series woven throughout it and it made a difference. The influence is subtle, but it’s there, and I like the fact that there could be cross overs and team-ups in either series. Without spoiling anything, I will say that the shocking discoveries made a few books back has opened up the SWAT team’s world to a whole new realm of possibilities and threats. And potential mates. It will be interesting to see if any of the remaining SWAT members get paired up with an unusual mate.

All in all, I would say that Wolf Untamed keeps longtime fans interested while getting new fans excited for what’s to come. Can the book be read as a standalone? Sure. But this series deserves to be read from the beginning and in order for maximum enjoyment.

She let him get away

SWAT werewolf Rachel Bennett is hounded by nightmares after a vicious attack left her with PTSD. Not knowing who or what she can trust anymore, she's relieved to be assigned to a high-profile protective detail. Diving into work might be the distraction she needs, until she notices the mysterious hunk who seems to follow her wherever she goes—and recognizes him.

Now he needs her help...

After he's badly injured, former Navy SEAL Knox Lawson seeks out Rachel when he realizes he's turning into a werewolf. He'd once been part of the group hunting her kind, but he knew he had to quit when he found Rachel in his crosshairs. Now he desperately needs her help.

Rachel isn't sure she trusts Knox, but having him around keeps the nightmares—and the monster creating them—away. Knox might not know much about being a werewolf, but there's no doubt he'll do everything in his power to win her trust and keep her safe.

Wolf Rebel (Book 10)

Wolf Rebel is an edge of your seat, nail biting dose of paranormal romantic suspense with a touch of nerve wracking horror to top off what is in my opinion one of Paige Tyler’s best books in the entire SWAT series! I just could not put this book down! I’m a huge fan of this series, and I have enjoyed all the books, but Rachell and Knox’s story is in a category all its own and in the best way.

Werewolf and SWAT member Rachel Bennett has been having nightmares about the horrific attack that turned her into a werewolf and they’re getting worse and worse. She hopes that being assigned to a high profile protective detail will help keep her mind distracted, except that she’ll be working with none other than the werewolf hunter she let get away months ago when her pack was attacked. Irony of ironies, the hunter is now a werewolf and he desperately wants Rachel to help him understand what that means. In his defense, Knox thought he was on the “good” side until he saw what the hunters were capable of and when they set their sights on destroying Rachel. While Rachel doesn’t trust Knox, she agrees to help him and the added bonus is that Knox’s presence keeps the nightmares away, at least for a while.

What stands out to me with the SWAT series is that while the majority of the team is comprised of hunky alpha males (all the members are alphas), there are a handful of alpha females, REAL alpha females who lead and stand BESIDE the males who have the utmost confidence in their abilities. Rachel is one of these alpha females and I just love her. She’s such a confident, kind, capable wolf so to see her brought so low by her nightmares was jarring and definitely made me take the antagonist seriously. Also, that antagonist? Plucked straight from my own nightmares and in frighteningly elaborate detail. Tyler really outdid herself this time, she’s a freaking Rockstar. I didn’t know whether to be impressed or terrified of how well this villain was written.

Wolf Rebel reminds readers that the series is also about the bonds that are shared between the SWAT pack. This group is tight knit and willing to do anything for each other and that definitely shows when they find out Rachel needs help. They don’t treat her like a damsel in distress, she’s one of their own and she needed backup. It was great. I really couldn’t get enough of this book and I highly recommend the whole series to anyone looking for great characters, fast-paced action, and an author with a great sense of humor.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

"SWAT is hot hot HOT!"-Kerrelyn Sparks, New York Times bestselling author

HE'S FOUND THE ONE...

SWAT officer Landry Cooper is certain Everly Danu is The One. The problem is, she has no idea what Cooper really is. And as much as he wants to trust her, he's not sure he can share his deepest secret...

When Everly's family discovers Cooper's a werewolf, her brothers will do anything to keep them apart-they'll kill him if they have to. Everly is falling hard for the ridiculously handsome SWAT officer, and she's not about to let her brothers tell her who she can love... Until Cooper's secret is exposed and she discovers the man she thought she knew is a monster in disguise.

BUT CAN HE KEEP HER?

amazon

When SWAT officer Landry Cooper meets Everly Danu, he’s certain she’s The One, only she doesn’t know that he and his team are werewolves but Everly’s brothers do and they’ll do whatever it takes to keep Landry away from Everly. But when Everly eventually does find out Landry’s secret it brings back painful memories from her past and forces her to make a choice.

I enjoy this series so much in part because the paranormal aspects don’t overwhelm the rest of the story and it flows smoothly from one scene to the next. Even the action sequences were smooth because there wasn’t a lot of paranormal type fighting going on. Landry and the rest of the SWAT team are wolf shifters with enhanced senses and that was it because the main focus of To Love a Wolf was always Landry and Everly’s story.

Speaking of Landry and Everly…

I just LOVED these two. I think they just might be neck in neck with the couple from book 2, Xander and Khaki for the #1 spot on my “Favorite Couples” list. All the SWAT guys are dreamy and total alphas (The attractive kind, not the ugly controlling kind) but Landry was the go-to guy when they had problems. He was the voice of reason, the giver of advice, and the most loyal of friends. I loved his calm, compassionate nature because it went so well with his alpha side and balanced him out as a character.

Everly was such a good match for Landry. She was tough when she needed to be because...hello, she was raised by her father and three brothers after her mother died so she kind of had to be tough or get run over by all the males in her life. I loved how assertive she could be when it came to what she wanted, but at the same time she loved her brothers and her father so her relationship with Landry put her in a tough situation. You gotta love a character that is torn between her family and her man, yet stands her ground. I loved her and Landry as a couple because they alternated between tender and sweet and hot and sexy. It was overall a great combination to me. Friendship and love make for two great foundations for a relationship and these two had it in spades.

Their connection and relationship felt very real to me and later after I finished the book I read in the author’s acknowledgements that Landry and Everly were fashioned after the author’s husband and herself respectively. I thought this was pretty neat and seriously, Landry and Everly were a really great couple and I fell in love with their story, so yay for the real life inspiration. *cue sighs and swoons*

Of course, you can’t have a SWAT book without having the other members of the team make appearances and it was great to see Xander, Khaki, Becker, Jayna, and all the rest of the extended family again. I just loved the camaraderie among them and the good natured teasing that came with the territory. There’s always humor to be found in those scenes and To Love a Wolf had plenty of moments like that.

Paige Tyler is one of those authors that just rocks when it comes to a sexy, action packed paranormal romance. I get so excited when one of her SWAT books is about to be released because I just know it’s going to be fun. To Love a Wolf is a must have for fans of both paranormal romance and romantic suspense because it excels at both. I’m already excited for the next book in the series!

Paige graduated from The University of West Florida with a degree in education in 2000, but decided to pursue a full-time career as a writer in 2004. Since then, she’s written over fifty books in several genres, including paranormal, contemporary, western, sci-fi and erotica. She loves writing about strong, sexy, alpha males and the feisty, independent women who fall for them. From verbal foreplay to sexual heat, her stories of romance, adventure, suspense, passion and true love will leave you breathlessly panting for more. 

She and her very own military hero (also known as her husband) live on the beautiful Florida coast with their adorable fur baby (also known as their dog). Paige graduated with a degree in education, but decided to pursue her passion and write books about hunky alpha males and the kickbutt heroines who fall in love with them.

When not working on her latest book, Paige enjoys reading, jogging, P90X, Yoga, Pilates, going to the beach, watching NFL football, watching movies and hanging out with her husband (not necessarily in that order!)
