Blurb:
Supernatural
creatures are no longer keeping their existence secret from humans, causing
panic around the globe. To investigate, monitor, and ― when necessary ― take
down dangerous supernatural offenders, an international task force was
established: The Special Threat Assessment Team.
STAT agent
Jestina Ridley is in London with her team investigating a suspicious
kidnapping. Over her radio, Jes hears her teammates being savagely attacked.
She runs to help, but she's too late. The only survivor, Jes calls for backup
and gets former Navy SEAL and alpha werewolf Jake Huang and his new pack.
Convinced that the creature who butchered her teammates was a werewolf, Jes
doesn't trust them. But if they're going to uncover the facts and make it back
home alive, she'll need Jake's help. And with everything on the line, Jes will
have to accept Jake for who he is, or lose the partner she never expected to
find ...

Review:
An all new series begins with a new take on
the world of the Alpha wolves and their friends, with Paige Tyler’s new STAT
series. For long-time readers of the
SWAT series, we were introduced to the secret FBI team that investigates the
truly unknown in the last book of that series and this story picks up right
where that one left off. I am really looking forward to this new branch off of
the original series and seeing where Tyler’s imagination takes us with new
creatures and new couples on the scene.
Jake is on his first assignment for the new STAT team of the FBI and he
never imagined he’d be traveling to England to be paired with an
anti-supernatural partner—that just might be his mate. Jestina has just listened
to a creature tear apart her teammates and now has to deal with a new team that
includes werewolves. She doesn’t
understand her attraction to Jake, but it quickly becomes obvious that he is
one of the good guys and soon they are pairing off in more than just the
business sense. When what they are truly up against comes to light, Jake and
Jestina have to give one another their absolute trust in order to defeat their
enemies and survive the coming battle. Jake is such a sweet and hot, alpha and
sexy wolf that I found myself drooling right alongside Jestina, but it was also
apparent that he didn’t yet entirely trust his relationship instincts in the
beginning. Once he began to earn
Jestina’s trust and overcome her walls there was no time at all before he was
showing us all how wonderful he was. I also loved seeing him interacting with
his new pack and finding his way as a leader.
Jestina on the other hand was a bitch for the first third of the story
and made me really dislike her in the beginning but after she finally accepted
that her new team was trustworthy, she became a woman we could all like. I loved seeing her kicking ass and taking
names, but the best part was when she showed her vulnerable side with Jake and
finally accepted it was ok to fall in love with a supernatural. The passion between Jake and Jestina was off
the charts from the minute they clapped eyes on one another and only banked at
times, but in the end that fire will burn and keep their relationship alive til
the end. I am dying to read the next
story and see who pairs off next in their team.
Another hit, Paige!
