Description:
A STORM IS BREWING…
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.
Review:
Wolf Hunt by Paige Tyler is the 6th book in her wonderful SWAT series. I love this series by Tyler, as she always manages to give us an exciting, fun, action packed, sexy story, with a great couple. Of course, it is always nice to learn more about our Hot hunks that are members of the Dallas SWAT team. It doesn’t hurt that they are all sexy alpha werewolves.
The story starts with Remy Boudreaux, our hero, on a mission that kills his girlfriend, and leaves him near death. We pick up a few years later, where Remy is now a member of the Dallas SWAT team, and we learn that he was turned into werewolf to save his life. Remy and his three fellow members of the Dallas SWAT team attend training in New Orleans, his old home town. When they go to the bar at night, Remy scents someone from the past that he knew from school.
We meet our heroine, Triana Bellamy, who had a crush on Remy in high school. The attraction between them is immediate and strong; before long Remy begins to feel a bond develop. His friend’s tease him, asking if she is “the one”, as legend says a werewolf will find his “one” mate, and it seems lately that the Swat members are slowly finding their “one”. Remy does not want to hear this, as he does not want to be hurt again or put anyone close to him in danger. But fate is making it difficult to ignore his intense feelings.
Triana works in California as a scientist in a CSI lab, which helps discover clues such as DNA, etc. Triana is home to visit her mother, who runs a voodoo shop, and also wants to find out more information as to who murdered her father. When she sees someone badgering her mother to sell them a missing wolf pendant, or the store, her suspicions rise. While Remy and the guys are working with the New Orleans police, they help on a real assignment to catch a drug lord. As the tension escalates, this will eventually coincide with Triana’s quest to find her father’s murderer. What follows is an exciting, tense, pulse pounding adventure putting Triana and her mother in danger; as well as pulling Remy and his friends to help.
What I love about this series is not only the suspense and action packed story; but Paige Tyler always gives us a wonderful sexy couple. Remy and Triana had sizzling chemistry, and were great together. She knew Remy was the man for her, and he was doing all he could to step away, so not to see her get hurt. But when push comes to shove, Remy finds out that not being together will not protect Triana. Her research into her father’s murder will put her in deeper danger, and he will be forced to find a way to save her, as she was in terrible danger. Triana will also learn the truth about Remy and his SWAT members. Will she try to stay with Remy knowing what his really is?
I love this series. It is always fun, exciting, sexy, with a fantastic group of characters that make up the SWAT team, and their eventual mates. Paige Tyler does it so well, putting the story in the forefront and at the same time giving us a beautiful romance. If you have not read this series, you are missing a gem.

“The shop hasn’t changed much, but do you want to come in and look around anyway?” she asked hopefully.
He grinned. “Yeah. I’d like that.”
Triana unlocked the door, then closed and locked it behind them quietly, so she wouldn’t wake her mom. When she turned back around, Remy was already walking around the dimly lit shop, taking in the shelves upon shelves of knickknacks that had mesmerized her since childhood. The overhead lights were off, so the red, green, and purple neon tubes that edged the display windows were the only source of illumination, but it was more than enough to guide her steps as she moved to Remy’s side. She watched as he picked up the various dolls, candles, beads, tarot cards, potions, books, and other trinkets that filled the store. For such large hands, he handled everything he touched with a surprisingly gentle touch.
“Everything is exactly the same as I remember it.” He turned to smile at her, a warm glint in his eyes. “Well, not everything. You’ve changed quite a bit.”
The heated way he looked at her made her tummy quiver. “Really. How so?”
Remy took her hand and tugged her closer. The tips of her nipples grazed his muscular chest, sending tingles spiraling through her. “I tend to remember you as a shy, somewhat awkward girl who was all knees and elbows back then.”
She laughed softly, a little embarrassed. Yeah, that was a pretty good description of her when she was in high school. She had been what her mom called a late bloomer, so everything had changed her freshman year in college, when her body had made up for lost time.
“And now?” she asked in a near whisper.
He bent his head until his face was so close to hers that she could feel the warmth of his breath on her skin. His left hand came up and found her hip, slowly gliding back and forth across the silky material and heating the skin underneath.
“And now, you definitely aren’t shy, you move like a cat, and all those knees and elbows have turned into some serious curves I’d love to explore, since I’m smart enough to know what I want.”
She blushed at hearing him put all that into words. “No one’s stopping you.”
The glint in his eyes flared brighter for a moment as the neon lights caught them. Then, one of Remy’s hands was in her hair and he was kissing her. A moan involuntarily escaped her lips as his mouth came down on hers and his tongue slipped inside. He tasted so delicious she couldn’t help it.
She slid her hands up the front of his shirt and grabbed his shoulders, squeezing hard as she pulled him even closer, urging him to kiss her harder.
Remy must have understood what she was trying to say because the hand in her hair tightened possessively and his tongue teased hers more aggressively. At the same time, his free hand moved around from her hip to her lower back, fitting her against him so firmly she could feel every ripple and bulge in that perfect body of his. And one of those bulges suggested he was enjoying the kiss just as much as she was.
Triana melted against him, surrendering to a kiss she’d been fantasizing of for over a decade. She’d heard women talking about going all weak kneed from a great kiss, but she’d never experienced it or even believed it. She believed it now. If Remy hadn’t been holding on to her so tightly, she was sure she would have just collapsed to her knees right there in front of him.
Isn’t that an interesting thought?
