ANIMAL ATTRACTION is Book one in Paige Tyler's Alaskan Werewolves series. All the good guys in ANIMAL ATTRACTION are extremely likable and that contributed greatly to my overall enjoyment of this story. I always worry, with books that have a reporter main character, that the character will be too obnoxious in his or her pursuit of a story. Happily that was not the case with ANIMAL ATTRACTION. Eliza Bradley is very easy to relate to and while she is eager to prove herself as a reporter, she is considerate of others and respects her environment. Likewise, Hunter McCall - hero, werewolf, and college professor cutie - is a very nice guy.

I like the integrity displayed by Eliza in this story. She starts out hunting down a story she doesn't believe is true -- that there is an actual werewolf stalking Fairbanks, Alaska -- but she tries to do right by her editor and everybody counting on her. It would be easy to just make something up and collect a paycheck, but she takes the time to investigate Nate's werewolf claims, rather than just blow him off as a crazy person. I also love Hunter. Even though he is a strong Alpha werewolf, he's not simply an overly-aggressive, act first think later, kind of a guy. Instead, he's smart, sexy, and couldn't be sweeter to Eliza.

Throughout the story, there are snippets from the point of view of the unnamed murdering rogue werewolf. No clue is really given to his identity until the surprise reveal at the end. I liked this tactic the author decided to take, and it keeps the momentum going and the intense feeling of suspense. Even though there is a lot of action in ANIMAL ATTRACTION, the romance is just as strong. The chemistry between Eliza and Hunter is off the charts, and the sexy scenes between them are smoking hot.

ANIMAL ATTRACTION is a wildly entertaining and super exciting paranormal romance with equal parts action, mystery, and sexiness. Though this is the first book I've read by author Paige Tyler, I look forward to reading future books in this Alaskan Werewolves series.
