There is a hostage situation and the Dallas SWAT team is
sent to the premises. As the team SUV leaves the
compound, investigative reporter Mackenzie "Mac" Stone
follows their van. Mac has been watching them for 2 days.
She's dying to do a story on the elite team since a
disreputable character told her a most unbelievable story
about the officers; there seems to be something fishy
about the media darlings. They are all over the place
doing good deeds, they never seem to mess up, and yet
nobody knows anything about them; access to their
compound is denied everyone. During the hostage crisis,
Mac gets into trouble, and SWAT team Commander Gage Dixon
decides something must be done about her snooping before
she discovers things that should remain undisclosed to
the public. He will grant her interviews and she will be
able to do a story on the team, otherwise she will act on
her own and compromise the fact that they are all
werewolves.
HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF is the first instalment of Paige
Tyler's new series Special Wolf Alpha Team, and
she's off to an very impressive start! Ms. Tyler has
built a solid premise for a new paranormal series that is
entirely different from her X-Ops series. HUNGRY LIKE THE
WOLF features a great cast of characters: Gage is a
splendid leader, he's a true Alpha male -- after all, he
must keep his pack in check -- but he is a gentleman as
well, and a very reasonable man. Mac is strong-willed,
but not unduly pigheaded; they both act like
professionals, they are willing to listen and admit they
made mistakes. They are attracted to each other, but they
realise they have to work on their respective trust
issues.
I really like how Ms. Tyler never succumbs to excesses:
even though the heroes are werewolves, they are all
entirely believable; a bit wild at times, but fighting to
control their animal nature for the better good. HUNGRY
LIKE THE WOLF is a multi-layered story and we get a good
feel how both SWAT teams and journalist crews work.
HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF IS action-packed, fast paced, very
well written, and I appreciate how Ms. Tyler takes care
of little details that matter, such as a birth control
issues. I love the camaraderie between the wolves, as
well as between Mac and her photographer-friend Zac; it
feels real. The author allows the romance between Mac and
Gage to slowly build: from mistrust to flirtatious banter
on to admitting their attraction, and acting on it
intelligently. I do hope the next book features Mike
Taylor, one of Gage's team mates; I'd really like to read
his story; he's yet another compelling character. HUNGRY
LIKE THE WOLF is yet another demonstration of the immense
talent of Paige Tyler.
They're tight
They're on target
They're as alpha as men can get
The Dallas SWAT team is hiding one helluva
secret...they're
a pack of wolf shifters.
The team of elite sharpshooters is ultra-secretive-and
also
the darlings of Dallas. This doesn't sit well with
investigative journalist Mackenzie Stone. They must be
hiding something...and she's determined to find out what.
Keeping Mac at a distance proves impossible for SWAT team
commander Gage Dixon. She's smart, sexy, and makes him
feel
alive for the first time in years. But she's getting
dangerously close to the truth-and perilously close to his
heart...
