My review
Okay, I have to admit, I kind of really liked all the hot and sweaty werewolf hunks from the SWAT series of Paige Tyler (you can check my review on To Love a Wolf).
So when I saw Her Rogue Alpha on Netgalley I just had to request this one. Unfortunately, if you are hooked on those yummie werewolf shifters, you may find this story of Paige a little tame.
Oh, sure there is a lot of action, and do not forget the claws beautiful Layla has at her disposal as a feline shifter. But this book is more about Jayson, and the extensions of not only his bodily scars, but also his mental scars. Paige does a perfect job of creating the turmoil Jayson is feeling because of his broken body. How hard it must be on a guy, who was in the Special Forces, to rely on a cane and on your - not so average - strong girlfriend. Yeah, it's not only his back which is hurting, but also his pride and ego.
So yes, a wonderful written book, with still a lot of action. And although there is enough physical attraction, I kind of missed the playful banter and witty remarks of the SWAT serie. What can I say: I'm really a werewolf-furry-kind-of-girl.
No less, still four out of five stars for Her Rogue Alpha. I'm not sure I will continue with her X-OPS series, but I'm keeping my eye out for the next SWAT book.
