Undercover Wolf (STAT: Special Threat Assessment Team #2)

by Paige Tyler

Blurb:

An unexpected partnership leads two wolves to reconsider everything they know...

Alpha werewolf Harley Grant isn't exactly comfortable with her inner wolf. Even though she's on a STAT Team where she can use her abilities because her teammates know about her, she refuses to do so, putting herself and sometimes them at risk.

Alpha werewolf Sawyer Bishop would give anything for his M16 Team to know about his inner wolf, but his teammates are mistrustful of anyone or anything with inhuman abilities. When he meets Harley on an overlapping case and realizes she's a fellow wolf, he's more than a little intrigued.

Now that STAT and MI6 have to team up to stop a crew of supernatural bad guys intent on causing a nuclear meltdown, Harley can no longer deny her wolf and Sawyer can no longer hide his. As they grow closer to resolving the case and grow closer to each other, they discover things aren't what they seem and revenge could cost them their lives.

Review:

Shifter…special agents… danger… passion… honestly what more could you ask for? Paige Tyler’s new spinoff series of wolf-shifters that are learning they aren’t the only thing that goes bump in the night continues with a story of two wolves that are finding their way in their own skins and in the world together. I have been a big fan of Paige Tyler for many years, enjoying first her SWAT series and not this new one as she takes her wolves on all new adventures. Harley and Sawyer’s story is one of danger, drama, pain and fear but in the end their connection and love is one for the record books as they sacrificed for one another right until the very end. Harley has been stuck as wolf for many years, but she has never really connected with the inner wolf enough to really feel like one, even though she has found a place in the STAT pack and on their missions. Now she finds herself on a surveillance mission when she is confronted by a sexy and enigmatic Sawyer Bishop, a wolf with serious skills and who seems to be hiding his nature from the humans on his MI6 team. Sawyer and his team are on the trail of the same kidnappers as STAT and soon it becomes a joint mission to protect and recover the victims of a deadly and dangerous kidnapping ring, led by some serious bad ass paranormals. Sawyer has hidden his wolf from his team for years, but being around STAT and Harley makes it harder to hide and reminds him that he isn’t really a lone wolf. Harley and Sawyer are more than attracted to one another, but how can a wolf hiding his nature and one that hasn’t tapped into hers find a way to be together as mates? And can they make a decision about their feelings before the psychos they are chasing take their decisions away from them? I loved every moment of the story between Harley and Sawyer, from the angst they both dealt with, to the pull between them, and the danger they faced together. Sawyer has obviously hidden himself entirely too long, but when he begins to peel back his layers and show himself I really enjoyed getting to know him. He was smart, tough, charming, and kind, showing Harley that she was more than enough even if she had some issues with her inner wolf. The sacrifices he made to protect his friends and Harley especially showed his determination to do whatever it takes for his loved ones, and I loved seeing him win in the end. Harley has a lot of growing up and accepting to do for herself before she was able to find her own inner happiness and when her mate was in danger she stopped fighting herself and embraced her own inner badass to do whatever it took to protect her man. Getting to know her was a little harder because she fought so hard to keep herself back, but ultimately she was a strong, dedicated, and compassionate alpha female that found her perfect match. The passion between them was there from the beginning until the very end and you can tell that won’t be waning anytime soon. I enjoyed every moment of this story even though I had to shed a few tears along the way. I am dying to know what comes next for STAT and what kinds of bad guys they will vanquish next and who will find their mate next.
