It has been several years since Remy Boudreaux was last in
New Orleans. Remy and three SWAT teammates from
Dallas arrived in town to train with the NOPD's tactical
unit. The
guys are strolling along Bourbon Street, when Remy catches
a whiff that hits his lust button, and he follows his
shifter nose to the source. He has a most pleasant shock
when he finds out that that Triana Ballamy, Remy's high
school friend, is the bewitching creature emitting the
scent. She has definitely outgrown her awkward stage, that
brainy girl who had a secret crush on him. This is not
high school anymore, and Triana and Remy opt to act on
their undeniable attraction. But Remy had once found his
own true love, she was murdered, and even if everything
points that way, he won't succumb to the pull of The
One , his soul mate: Triana.
I was anxiously awaiting Remy's story, the flirtatious,
happy-go-lucky Cajun, but he wasn't exactly who I
expected, and this is one of the reasons why I have mixed
feelings about WOLF HUNT: I very much enjoyed the first
half, but the second half less so, and it's a bit
difficult to explain other than I felt melancholy because
of Remy's attitude towards Triana. On the other hand, I
guess it's a testament to Ms. Tyler's ability to convey
emotions so successfully. I loved Triana, and I felt so
much for her, it seemed to have coloured my sentiments
towards Remy; I didn't like that he hurt her. The romance,
however, was gorgeous, and Remy did redeem himself.
The action sequences are excellent and realistic, the
dialogues are possibly the best Paige Tyler has ever
written, but in my opinion, secondary characters stole
Remy's thunder, notably Max Lowry, a Dallas SWAT teammate
of Remy's, and Triana's utterly unforgettable grandmother,
Gemma. I'm beginning to think that Paige Tyler has just
about cornered the market when it comes to shocking
endings: while there are no cliffhangers in this book, the
WOLF HUNT has just begun!
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.
