The high-impact action and tender romance that fans will expect from Tyler’s Special Wolf Alpha Team (SWAT) series shine in this 10th urban fantasy (following Wolf Instinct). Knox Lawson, a former Navy SEAL, fell in with a group of werewolf hunters without realizing how brutal they could be. During an attack on a werewolf compound, he was grazed by a bullet, activating his dormant werewolf DNA. Rachel Bennett, werewolf and member of the Dallas, Tex., SWAT team, is keeping a secret from her packmates: when their compound was assaulted, she had the chance to kill one of the attackers, but something in his eyes led her to let the man escape. Two months later Rachel, the woman Knox has been following since she let him live, is the only one he trusts to help him understand his condition. When both are hired to protect an assistant district attorney and her family—Rachel with SWAT, Knox with a private security firm—sparks fly as they work to keep both their client and one another safe. Though the procedural elements are often predictable, the love story is by turns spicy and sweet. Series readers will delight in returning to the SWAT universe.
