SEAL Wolf Undercover (Heart of the Wolf #22)
by Terry Spear
No wolf is safe in USA Today bestseller Terry
Spear's new installment of the SEAL Wolf series.
Never
be so foolish as to fall for the enemy...
Special
wolf agent Jillian Matthews has joined the jaguar-run United Shifter Force to
track down a deadly criminal. She's even willing to work with PI Vaughn
Greystroke―until the hot, growly SEAL wolf makes the mistake of getting in her
way. Naturally, she shoots him. Who could blame her?
Vaughn
Greystroke has always worked alone. But when a string of attempted murders puts
him in the crosshairs, teaming up with the Shifter Force begins to sound like a
good idea. Even if he has to work with alluring―and potentially
treacherous―Jillian Matthews. Vaughn is a trained SEAL, after all. He can
surely keep his distance from Jillian...no matter how much she's getting under
his skin.
Themes: Paranormal,
wolf-shifters
Rating: 3.5 stars
Review:
This long-running series about sexy
wolf-shifters has veered into a new direction with the crossover from the Heart
of the Jaguar series and all I can say is I LOVE that twist. Terry
has a great way with her characters whether they are Wolves or Jaguars and she
has no problem making the dramas of their lives human problems just as often as shifter-only
problems. That being said this story was
a little slow for me is some ways and not as memorable as some of the previous
stories in the series. Jillian and Vaughn were the story of a couple that has a
second chance after spotting one another in a club and not taking the chance to
introduce themselves despite their connection from across the room. Jillian is
on the trail of a criminal and finds Vaughn in her way, accidentally shooting
him, and bringing them together in a way that will certainly be a story to tell
their grandchildren one day. I liked
Jillian’s independence and determination to get her man, even as she works with
anyone that is able to lend a hand; she will never allow ego to get in the way
of protecting her people and accomplishing her mission. I enjoyed seeing her stand up to Vaughn and
she was certainly an interesting woman.
Vaughn was a sexy, brave, and deadly alpha male that was also sweet at
times and certainly a match for Jillian.
I liked Vaughn ok in the beginning but as he worked beside Jillian and
her team I started to like him even more, seeing that he was definitely a good
man and one that Jillian would be able to count on for years to come. I have followed this series since the very
beginning, following Terry through the different packs along the west coast,
and even to a pack in Scotland, and the series keeps taking new and interesting
turns, but I am beginning to lose a bit of the connection with the couples
themselves so hopefully future stories will bring back that magic. And the crossover connection between this
author’s two series are becoming more and more interesting and I am looking
forward to seeing where this might go in the future, perhaps even a jaguar/wolf
mating? Whatever happens I know I will enjoy this series for a long time to
come.
