Clayne Buchanan finally came to terms with his wolf when
he was offered a job in the DCO -- the Deparment of Covert
Operations. He realised he was not the only shifter in
the world, and it saved his life; but he had serious
anger issues. When Danica Beckett was transferred from
the FBI to the DCO and became his partner, she was able
to help him deal with more than controlling his temper:
she became the love of his life.
There's a serial killer on the loose in Sacramento, and
Danica, now back with the FBI, is on the case with her
new partner. With only one glance at the victims, she
suspects the murderer is not quite human. That's when the
DCO tells Clayne the Bureau wants him to give them a
hand, but no one mentioned he would have to work
alongside his former lover! Danica had unceremoniously
dumped him 2 years before; she had told him she never
wanted to see him again but Fate has decided otherwise.
HER LONE WOLF is the second book in Paige Tyler's X-
Ops
series and it's terrific! Even if you have not read the
first one, enough background story is provided by the
author to keep you riveted. HER LONE WOLF is a suspense
with an extremely tight plot: exciting, fast-paced, and
full of twists and turns. But best of all, the shifters
are intrinsic to the story line. It's not a paranormal
romance with some light suspense thrown in for good
measure, nor is it a suspense where some characters are
shifters but it wouldn't really matter if they weren't.
And what shifters they are! HER LONE WOLF features a
great cast of characters, some of the best I've ever read
in paranormal fiction: perfectly plausible, wildly
fascinating; they assume their animal side with panache
and use their assets and flaws creatively. And Danica's a
pretty terrific norm; she's a superb female heroine!
I love how Ms. Tyler progressively told how Clayne and
Danica met and fell in love; the reason for their
separation is the basis for a thrilling secondary plot
element in HER LONE WOLF. In fact, a less self-assured
author would have had enough material for at least two
books in there! And towards the end, just when you think
it couldn't get any better, it does! The next instalment
in the X-Ops series will not come out soon enough!
Brilliant!
It took everything she had for FBI Special Agent Danica
Beckett to walk away from the man she loved. But if she
wants to save his life, she has to keep her distance. Now,
with a killer on the loose and the stakes higher than ever
before, the Department of Covert Ops is forcing these
former
lovers into an uneasy alliance...whether they like it or
not.
Seeing her again is even worse
The last thing Clayne Buchanan wants is to be shackled to
the woman who broke his heart. She gets under his skin in
a
way no one ever has and makes him want things he has no
right to anymore. All he has to do is suffer through this
case and he can be free of her for good.
But when Clayne finds out why Danica left in the first
place, everything he's tried to bury comes roaring back-
and
there's no way this wolf shifter is going to let her get
away this time.
