Review: Wolf Rebel (SWAT: Special Wolf Alpha Team #10)

Wolf Rebel (SWAT: Special Wolf Alpha Team #10)

by Paige Tyler

Blurb:
She let him get away
SWAT werewolf Rachel Bennett is hounded by nightmares after a vicious attack left her with PTSD. Not knowing who or what she can trust anymore, she's relieved to be assigned to a high-profile protective detail. Diving into work might be the distraction she needs, until she notices the mysterious hunk who seems to follow her wherever she goes—and recognizes him.
Now he needs her help...
After he's badly injured, former Navy SEAL Knox Lawson seeks out Rachel when he realizes he's turning into a werewolf. He'd once been part of the group hunting her kind, but he knew he had to quit when he found Rachel in his crosshairs. Now he desperately needs her help.
Rachel isn't sure she trusts Knox, but having him around keeps the nightmares—and the monster creating them—away. Knox might not know much about being a werewolf, but there's no doubt he'll do everything in his power to win her trust and keep her safe.

Review:
 Wow, ok I so didn’t see this one coming.  We have been waiting for a while now to find out the story behind Rachel’s nightmares and the things she has been seeing out of the corner of her eyes, but we never imagined this was coming her way.  And of course when an enemy becomes a lover it automatically becomes all that more intriguing and complicated.  This series has been getting seriously more and more complicated as the enemies and friends continue to change and grow in the most outrageous of ways.  We have been introduced to an all new group of killers and in this series the new good-guys that we are supposed to trust turn out to be total douche-bags. I really loved this story and I am dying to see what is coming next in this series, but Knox and Rachel’s story was definitely more than interesting all on its own. Knox and Rachel first met when he attacked the SWAT team with the other Hunters months ago and their eyes connected across the battlefield, despite neither of them attacking the other, they both know that something is happening when he returns to her world now a newly-awakened werewolf in his own right. Knox has been obsessed with Rachel for months since the first moments he saw her and was unable to do what he thought was his duty and kill her, but that obsession has become even more important now that he needs someone to teach him to be a werewolf.  Rachel is dealing with her own shit, dealing with nightmares, waking visions, and blackouts that leave her as a weakness to her team and herself. But as the truth is uncovered and they are forced to come together in order to overcome all they are facing and defeat their enemies, the relationship between them gets hotter and hotter. Rachel was a woman with some serious issues but I enjoyed watching her find her way with Knox and show her just how strong she truly was.  She had been dealing with a lot since she became a werewolf, and until she almost loses her life she doesn’t realize just how much. Knox is determined to find his way in this new world he finds himself in, despite knowing that he will not be welcomed with his past transgressions, but Rachel pulls him like no woman before and he won’t let anything stand in his way.  When they are both faced with a very real enemy that neither of them ever would have thought could possibly exist, Knox and team rush to find a way to keep Rachel alive so that he can have a future with her.  Despite knowing they should be enemies, the passion and love that develops between Rachel and Knox was amazing to experience and I loved every second of watching them come together.  This series just gets more and more complicated and I find myself holding my breath for what comes next, knowing that Ms. Tyler will never let me down. Another great story and if this keeps up I cannot imagine how much better it could possibly get.
