The Dallas SWAT team has a secret: it is compromised of werewolves
and besides the daily danger in their job there are Hunters who want to
annihilate all werewolves. Not a good time to be a werewolf or a new WOLF RISING as in the case of
teacher Selena Rosa.
Jayden Brooks, SWAT officer responds to a call of a hostage situation
in a school; it seems a gangbanger brought a gun to recruit new
members to the gang. Now, he is holding a classroom hostage and
threatening to kill the teacher first. Brooks gets one look at the
beautiful, brave teacher and he wants nothing more than to run in and
rescue her. Something about her draws him... could she be his one, the
legendary mate that each werewolf wants to find.
Selena Rosa grew up in the gangs, broke free after losing a brother to
the violence, and wants to help other young people do the same. She
survives thanks to the gorgeous, huge, hunk in uniform. But, the
trauma has changed her. Is she going to be able to control these
strange bouts of anger? And what about the tingle she gets being near
Officer Brooks -- will those survive the WOLF RISING ?
WOLF RISING is the amazing
continuation of author Paige Tyler's SWAT series and I believe it is the best so far. The
characters are well rounded in the fact that Brooks and Selena both
know what they want in life and go for it. Her world is slightly derailed
by a number of things and turning wolf is the least of them as the
readers learn later in the book, a lot of things she believed to be truths
turned out to be lies.
The storyline follows the last book, WOLF HUNGER, in that the Hunters are still gunning for
all werewolves; our favorite British werewolf Zane is dealing with his
injury from the wolfsbane-laced bullets and a few more little items, if
you add in dealing with gangbangers and synthetic heroin-laced energy
drinks., then you have WOLF RISING
. There are, of course, some funny moments, especially when
Connor explained to Brooks that the cat that had wandered into their
world had named herself -- hilarious when he proved it. And let's not
forget the romance between the star couple, it was instantaneous and
steamy, but even that has some rough moments when she partially
shifts during intimacy and freaks. Worry not all works out in the end but
getting there is heartbreaking yet funny. Picture a naked SWAT guy
chasing after a hysterical woman who's stolen his truck and there are
witnesses.
If you love hunks in uniform, a spitfire heroine, drama, danger, intrigue,
and some really steamy moments then get your hands on WOLF RISING .
Just when he's found The One...he might lose her. SWAT Officer Jayden Brooks doesn't believe there's a soul mate out there for him—The One. But when he saves high school teacher Selena Rosa from a hostage situation, he knows he's in big trouble. Her scent is irresistible. Selena finds the big cop irresistible, too. In fact, the buttoned-up teacher gets a little carried away—during a steamy make-out session, she bites him. Turns out, the traumatizing events at the school triggered her werewolf gene. Fangs and claws are appearing and her aggression is out of control. The change is happening, and Selena doesn't understand. It's going to take everything Brooks has to pull her back from the edge...and ultimately win her heart.
