Goodreads synopsis:

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.

4.5 Stars

This is the tenth book in the SWAT: Special Wolf Alpha Team series by Paige Tyler.

I have not read any other books in this series by Tyler and I to say this works perfectly as a standalone. All the characters that are important get a lot of details and the interactions between them all are so genuine. What a well-written paranormal romantic suspense book! There are a lot of great scenes concerning the struggle of being a wolf and the whole structure of how you become an alpha or werewolf was fascinating. Great backstories here.

The book centers on Rachel Bennett, an alpha female werewolf. She has PTSD, or she thinks she does, and it comes in the form of a scary evil clown who seems to show up at every turn. Now, I don’t have a problem with clowns but this seems like the Joker/Heath Leger version which is a particularly spooky adversary. Not going to mention how this entity crops up but this plot point is just so bang on!

Rachel encounters Knox Lawson, former SEAL and newly minted werewolf. He is just coming into his powers and is at odds with it all. He is drawn to Rachel and he believes that she can help him find his way though the werewolf world. The only problem is… he is a werewolf hunter and that makes him not accepted by the pack.

The trust in this story had to build up over time and I thought it was particularly well-done. I am not a big reader of paranormal romances but I thought this series was well thought out and executed with a ton of grace and feeling.

If you are into paranormal romances, definitely check out this book and series, you won’t be disappointed! Another must read author for my TBR shelf.

I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title.
