Starred review from June 15, 2015
Tyler’s second SWAT: Special Wolf Alpha Team contemporary paranormal romance (after Hungry like the Wolf) delivers scorching heat and sensual spark, with a strong heroine as unusual as her name. Khaki Blake was shot trying to save a woman’s life. Khaki isn’t quite sure what’s going on with her body, but she knows her bullet holes aren’t supposed to heal as fast as they do. Then she learns she’s a werewolf. She’s so desperate to escape her vindictive, clingy ex that she’s willing to be the only female member of the Dallas, Tex., SWAT division, led by Xander Riggs. Xander is certain the werewolf legend about finding “the One” is just a myth—until he catches a whiff of Khaki’s scent. Threat of discovery and the drive to protect the city from serial bank robbers ratchet up the suspense, as Khaki and Xander’s heat shimmers. Hints of humor temper the steamy scenes, which combine with richly detailed characters to elevate the novel to a must-read. Agent: Bob Mecoy, Bob Mecoy Literary Agency.
