Paranormal Romance


Remy Boudreaux had returned to New Orleans. It might just be for some cross-training with the local team, but he was back on his old beat. His old home. And soon on the scent of his old friend. Triana Bellamy. His best friend back in high school had turned into a woman Remy couldn't stop thinking about. He knew they didn't have a future, not only did they have careers in different cities, his in Dallas, hers in Houston, but unlike his fellow packmates, Remy had no intention of finding, or keeping his "One".
Triana was enjoying her night out with her friends, but the night had turned magical when she had turned around and found Remy. Her friend had become the epitome of a male specimen, and Triana was more than happy to move their former best friend status to something much more. Maybe even something permanent. After all, they didn't live that far apart, and she knew that Remy was a man worth the effort.
Wolf Hunt is the sixth story in Paige Tyler's SWAT: Special Wolf Alpha Team series, and is another fun, sexy adventure. Remy and Triana have much more than an attraction for one another. They may have been apart for several years, but they know each other, understand one another, and have a mutual respect. Add in Remy being a werewolf and Triana being "The One", for him, and they seem the perfect match. Of course, that doesn't take into account a defiant, stubborn werewolf who had seen a former love die. Add in a threat to Triana and her mother, an investigation that seems to have conspirators at every turn, and Wolf Hunt is another winner. So when is the next SWAT story?

This is a great book; this is the sixth book in the SWAT: Special Wolf Alpha Team series written by Paige Tyler. Remy Boudreaux is back in his hometown, New Orleans. He's there with three of his fellow Dallas SWAT officers for a week of training with the NOLA PD. On the eve of a tropical storm, Remy and his buddies prowl the French Quarter. One tantalizing scent captures Remy's senses, forcing him to follow until he is face to face with Triana Bellamy,his beautiful high school crush. But when a mysterious wolf pendant ropes them both into danger, Remy's protective instincts kick in. He may have to reveal his true self...and hope Triana accepts him.This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises. I am looking forward to reading the next book by this great author. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

Love that it takes place in New Orleans! I always find the setting of New Orleans interesting, and magical! I also loved the action scenes, and the whole SWAT angle was entertaining. I also loved that this is sort of a second chance at love story, and the sex scenes were hot! Remi is in his hometown of New Orleans with a few members of this Dallas SWAT team to do some training with NOLA PD, when he's out on the town, his senses lead him to Triana; a girl he was friends with in high school. Both crushed on the other in high school, but neither did much about it, so each jumps on the chance to connect on a deeper level, but both parties aren't on the same page, so that causes issues in the relationship. Remi feels drawn to her, but he has walls up around his heart that closes him off to a deeper, longer relationship with women; plus on top of that, Remi is also a werewolf, so he doesn't want long-term relationships. I would've liked the werewolf aspect to be a little bit more fleshed out, but I still love this element. I enjoyed the chemistry between Remi and Triana; they have some really sweet moments, and some intense, hot moments! I would've liked Remi to be more apologetic at times though, but I still really enjoyed their relationship, and was rooting for them to work it out. There's also the added suspense element of Triana looking into her father's murder, which adds some danger to the story, and it was cool that Triana's mom owns a voodoo shop! I would've loved more voodoo stuff! Action-packed, suspenseful, and romance! The writing was on point and entertaining! Looking forward to more from Paige Tyler!

I know I've gushed about this series before -- it's one of my favorite shifter series. There's plenty of action and plenty of romance. When these wolves find "The One" -- their own true mate -- they get so epically alpha at the same time they totally fall hard for their mate. It's a great combination.

This is the sixth book in the series, and I always worry at this point that the story is getting old or that the series has run it's course. That is NOT the case with Wolf Hunt. I really loved this story. It's action packed, and has some awesome foreshadowing of what is to come for these SWAT wolves.

When Remy goes to New Orleans for a training exercise, he doesn't anticipate running into an old childhood friend. Well, he doesn't actually run into her -- he's drawn to her scent across the French Quarter. It's clear to everyone that she's his "ONE". Remy has some legitimate reasons why he has to stop seeing Triana, even though their heat factor is off the charts.

Triana and her mom run into some trouble of their own and Remy and his pack brothers are the only ones that can rescue them from the clutches of a drug dealer and his minions. Along the way, the mystery of Triana's father's murder opens up new information about the wolves and what might be coming in the future.

Every page of this book was terrific. There's action, there romantic heat and there's the fellowship of the pack which I absolutely adored. I just loved everything about Wolf Hunt and I'm really looking forward to what may be coming in the next books in the series.

I recommend this series if you are looking for a shifter story with a "true mate" theme and lots of action. This entire series and Wolf Hunt especially is just a lot of fun!

An ARC was provided for review

This series is still as engrossing as it was when I read the first book but I'm really glad that the story moved from Dallas to a new location and what better setting than sultry, sexy and mystical New Orleans. As usual, Ms. Tyler combines fast-paced action with sizzling hot chemistry in this installment and will leave you itching to get your hands on the next book as soon as possible.

Remy Boudreaux is back in New Orleans after a long time for a training with the city's SWAT unit and ready to enjoy the pleasures of the city with his team mates but fate throws a wrench in those plans almost immediately when he reconnects with his high school crush, Triana Bellamy. Even though he intends to keep their reunion casual and lighthearted, nothing seems to be going according to plan. Could Triana be The One for him? Besides, after the loss of his girlfriend and partner, Remy has no intention of falling love ever again, but fate has other things in store for him.

With Triana and her mom in the cross-hairs of a mob boss looking for immortality and her father's death linked to this quest, Remy finds himself embroiled in a game of cat and mouse where he's not sure which he is, a game that will reveal even more sinister secrets and he will need the help of his team to defeat this enemy.

I liked that Triana and Remy's relationship was mostly easy and straightforward, and the drama was focused on other things, but my favorite character was Triana’s mom and I would love to see her in future installments. I did have a few misgivings about how neatly their past and present as well as Remy's relationship with his late girlfriend lined up, but it was still a very enjoyable read and I definitely will recommend this to lovers of romantic suspense or paranormal romance.

I love the buildup of suspense that spans the whole series and putting together the tiny clues the author doles out in each installment. It's obvious that there is about to be a big showdown between the wolves and a rogue group and I can't wait for the next book to get here!

Review featured at www.books-n-kisses.com

3.75 Hearts This is part of the SWAT series and trust me you need to read the series before reading this story. Or at least most of the series. It really can’t be a stand alone. Even though if you do read it first you will want to go back and read the first five.

There are a few changes with this story from the series. First they are called out of Dallas to New Orleans. Second this falls more under the second chance at love since they knew each other in high school and third it is a bit lighter on the sex scenes but still a very sexy read.

Disclaimer:
I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Talk about your brooding, alpha male/were-wolf! Remy sure knows how to nourish those emotional scars.

This was great installment in the SWAT: Special Wolf Alpha Team series. Although, it did have some interaction and mention of the pack characters, I missed it being at home base. Okay, I missed the past character interaction that happens when its at home base.

I found WOLF HUNT to be highly entertaining. Tyler's writing keeps the chemistry burning bright between Remy and Triana while getting the readers blood pumping with the action intense, suspense filled plot. If you are looking for a really great alpha shifter tale, I highly recommend WOLF HUNT.

I received this ARC copy of Wolf Hunt from SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca. This is my honest and voluntary review. Wolf Hunt is set for publication June 6, 2017.

A sexy cajun and an alpha male all in one package. What more could you want? Remy and Triana were friends from high school that lost touch after graduation. A night out on Bourbon Street with friends reunite them and they discover the connection and chemistry between them is still there. They are both in town for the week and decide to hang out and have fun. There's fun but also there's a hurricane, drama and suspense.

This is a great series and I love all of the members of the SWAT team.

BOOK BLURB


A STORM IS BREWING…
Remy Boudreaux is back in his hometown, New Orleans. He's there with three of his fellow Dallas SWAT officers for a week of training with the NOLA PD. On the eve of a tropical storm, Remy and his buddies prowl the French Quarter. One tantalizing scent captures Remy's senses, forcing him to follow until he is face to face with Triana Bellamy—his beautiful high school crush.

After reconnecting, Remy and Triana are close—very. Remy struggles to keep things casual. Ever since his partner—and first love—was killed on the job, he's kept women at a distance.

But when a mysterious wolf pendant ropes them both into danger, Remy's protective instincts kick in. He may have to reveal his true self...and hope Triana accepts him.

My Thoughts


Taking place outside the confines of Dallas locales the team members of SWAT selected to accompany Remy are stoked to be in New Orleans for a week. Even though the purpose is not for enjoying the non-stop partying but working with the NOPD the men are still excited to be in the Crescent City.

On their first night Remy cannot stay away from the most enchanting fragrance he has ever come across, to his surprise when he locates the source much to their mutual delight it is an old friend from High School.

When words like Destiny and Fate come into play expect the romance to be off the charts from the beginning and yet it seems that this time action took center stage for a nice change of pace for the members of SWAT who still managed to enjoy the novelty of Ladies Man Remy Boudreaux apparently finding himself off the market.

Triana Bellamy has changed from the shy girl Remy crushed on in High School to a beautiful, sexy, confident woman he finds himself even more attracted to all these years later.

To say the least this series delivers with each new romantic pairing and each new leg on the journey of discovering the threat facing the werewolf packs.

As with the previous reads there is an overuse of explaining The One and the reluctance to admit the connection on a deeper level that Remy feels for Triana mentioned enough times to become annoying.

Thankfully those two peeves are the only things in the story that really chafe me when reading the book, otherwise I enjoyed this foray back into the SWAT world and it's characters, both primary and supporting.

Guess have read too many paranormal romance couples stories that use these same tactics to drive home those points.

The good thing about this story is that there are several plots taking place at the same time so when one seems to run it’s course the other picks up the slack keeping the reader involved in the ongoing arc that will be further addressed in book seven later on near the end of 2017.

[EArc from Netgalley in exchange for honest review]

On every book read as soon as it is done and written up for review it is posted on Goodreads and Netgalley, once released then posted on Amazon, Barnes and Nobles as well.

#6 is just as heart pounding as the first 5. Remy is visiting his hometown of New Orleans to train with the local SWAT. He finds himself distracted in the best way but keeping the pack secret becomes hard to do. The crazy coincidences just keep piling up

Triana is in town visiting her mother for a week and helping out in her Voodoo shop. Her high school crush has appeared all grown-up and delicious but she can't help but think there is something everybody knows but her. Is their attraction just right for a week-long affair or is this unnatural pull something more?

Anything can happen in NOLA and for Dallas SWAT werewolf, Remy Boudreaux, that would mean forgiving himself and letting himself love again. It is going to take his nerdy high school crush, Triana Bellamy, now all grown up mother to crack through the shell around his heart to help him learn to love again. This is a high energy, fast paced sweet and sexy addition to the series and I thoroughly enjoyed every page. This book also hints at a danger to the wolves much bigger than any perp they’ve encountered to date. Bring it!

A Broken Hero:

Remy Boudreaux has been the playboy of the SWAT pack, always having a woman in his bed but never getting serious. In WOLF HUNT, we find out why.

An Attraction That Can't Be Denied:

And so when he's on a training operation in New Orleans and is strongly drawn to a woman, he's cautious about getting too close. Especially since that woman is Triana Bellamy, a friend and crush from high school. But their attraction can't be denied. Though Remy does try to deny it, with serious consequences.

A Storm of Suspense and Danger:

In the meantime, a storm is barreling down on New Orleans. Triana gets a lead on one of the men who killed her father, and Remy becomes involved in a drug case. All of which comes together in a "perfect storm" of suspense and danger. And just when you think it's over, it isn't. And after that come the dire predictions for the future... And so the series continues.

Throughout the Swat series, there appears to be a gearing up for trouble, big trouble and the air among the wolves is getting thicker, tenser. The fact that more wolves are finding their soul mates is both unusual and thought-provoking, and Alpha wolf, Remy Boudreaux is next up to take that trip on the paranormal “love boat.”

As the Dallas SWAT team trains in New Orleans, the city where nothing paranormal seems unusual, Remy catches a scent…and once again, Fate steps in, finding Remy’s mate, a girl he knew along ago.

Triana may have been pretty in high school, but now she is a fascinating beauty and she is Remy’s. No doubt about it, and the dance of love begins with flirtation, insinuation and daring, all wrapped up in a few humor moments that makes one want to wink and smirk, heck the rest of the SWAT team is.

Even in a city known for its party life, evil is writhing beneath the surface and a clueless Triana becomes a pawn in a game of power, drugs, a mysterious pendant and control. Hiding their wolfish tendencies can be difficult when not on home turf, but a power-hungry mob boss knows more than he should and Tiana will become his bargaining chip in a game that will bring hidden secrets to light, uncover dark revelations and bring the alphas together to protect their own.

What Triana learns about her family and the man she loves will test her very soul.

Paige Tyler’s WOLF HUNT gives new meaning to insta-love, and I do mean instant. I liked both Remy and Triana but the star of this tale was actually Triana’s mother and I would LOVE to learn more about that gutsy and grounded lady. A good read, and I do want more from these wolves, but for me, a little too neat and tidy.

Wolf Hunt by Paige Tyler is the 6th book in her wonderful SWAT series. I love this series by Tyler, as she always manages to give us an exciting, fun, action packed, sexy story, with a great couple. Of course, it is always nice to learn more about our Hot hunks that are members of the Dallas SWAT team. It doesn’t hurt that they are all sexy alpha werewolves.

The story starts with Remy Boudreaux, our hero, on a mission that kills his girlfriend, and leaves him near death. We pick up a few years later, where Remy is now a member of the Dallas SWAT team, and we learn that he was turned into werewolf to save his life. Remy and his three fellow members of the Dallas SWAT team attend training in New Orleans, his old home town. When they go to the bar at night, Remy scents someone from the past that he knew from school.

We meet our heroine, Triana Bellamy, who had a crush on Remy in high school. The attraction between them is immediate and strong; before long Remy begins to feel a bond develop. His friend’s tease him, asking if she is “the one”, as legend says a werewolf will find his “one” mate, and it seems lately that the Swat members are slowly finding their “one”. Remy does not want to hear this, as he does not want to be hurt again or put anyone close to him in danger. But fate is making it difficult to ignore his intense feelings.

Triana works in California as a scientist in a CSI lab, which helps discover clues such as DNA, etc. Triana is home to visit her mother, who runs a voodoo shop, and also wants to find out more information as to who murdered her father. When she sees someone badgering her mother to sell them a missing wolf pendant, or the store, her suspicions rise. While Remy and the guys are working with the New Orleans police, they help on a real assignment to catch a drug lord. As the tension escalates, this will eventually coincide with Triana’s quest to find her father’s murderer. What follows is an exciting, tense, pulse pounding adventure putting Triana and her mother in danger; as well as pulling Remy and his friends to help.

What I love about this series is not only the suspense and action packed story; but Paige Tyler always gives us a wonderful sexy couple. Remy and Triana had sizzling chemistry, and were great together. She knew Remy was the man for her, and he was doing all he could to step away, so not to see her get hurt. But when push comes to shove, Remy finds out that not being together will not protect Triana. Her research into her father’s murder will put her in deeper danger, and he will be forced to find a way to save her, as she was in terrible danger. Triana will also learn the truth about Remy and his SWAT members. Will she try to stay with Remy knowing what his really is?

I love this series. It is always fun, exciting, sexy, with a fantastic group of characters that make up the SWAT team, and their eventual mates. Paige Tyler does it so well, putting the story in the forefront and at the same time giving us a beautiful romance. If you have not read this series, you are missing a gem.

I really enjoyed Wolf Hunt while I was reading it. I love New Orleans, especially as a setting for paranormal stories. And it was nice to see a smaller group of the SWAT guys and get to know them a little better. In addition to Remy, Max, Zane, and Brooks, my personal fave, are the only ones on this trip so I felt like the supporting cast got more page time than usual. I also really liked Triana's mom who owns a voodoo shop.

I had some issues with Triana though. First of all, her name bugged me. I know that's an odd complaint and it may be my own personal weirdness. But Triana sounds too much like Tiana, who is also from New Orleans which made it an obvious connection. (She's the princess in The Princess and the Frog for anyone who doesn't speak Disney.) I kept getting the wrong picture in my head, which took me out of the story.

I also felt like it wasn't really clear what her job was, though that's not as important as it might have been since she's on vacation. She works in the crime lab, but at one point she says she works in the medical examiner's office. Despite what NCIS might lead us to believe, I don't think those are the same thing. But what bothered me more is that she didn't really feel like a scientist. I wanted her to be more precise and methodical, especially since she didn't believe in the supernatural despite growing up with it. Don't even get me started on "How could her parents keep that from her?"

I loved the werewolf action at the end of the story, though I thought the final showdown was a little bit anticlimactic seen from Triana's POV. But I had all the secrets surrounding her father figured out from the beginning. And that wolf pendant that started it all? We never did find out what happened to it.

I think I would have given Wolf Hunt another star if I didn't have to review it. It's one of those books that's fun while I'm reading but when I think about it too much I start to find flaws.

Wolf Hunt is the sixth book in the SWAT series by Paige Tyler and is currently scheduled for release on June 6 2017. Remy Boudreaux is back in his hometown, New Orleans. He's there with three of his fellow Dallas SWAT officers for a week of training with the NOLA PD. On the eve of a tropical storm, Remy and his buddies prowl the French Quarter. One tantalizing scent captures Remy's senses, forcing him to follow until he is face to face with Triana Bellamy, his beautiful high school crush. After reconnecting, Remy and Triana are close, very close. Remy struggles to keep things casual. Ever since his partner, and lover, was killed on the job, he's kept women at a distance. But when a mysterious wolf pendant ropes them both into danger, Remy's protective instincts kick in. He may have to reveal his true self and hope Triana accepts him.

Wolf Hunt opens with the scene that explains how Remy's partner, and lover, was killed in a raid. So readers know right away that he is going to be reluctant to get attached from the very beginning. My only issue with it is that the raid seemed so familiar to me that I had to check and double check to make sure I had not read this book before. I know raids gone wrong are all going to be similar on some level, I started off my read unsure, but was glad that the rest of the story made up for my initial unease. I liked hat Remy reconnects with someone he knew from his past, but that readers still got to know Triana and her mother a little. I think the mother was my favorite character- and I spent a good portion of the book worried that she was going to get killed, because I liked her and her forthright style and stubbornness so much. She was three steps ahead of Remy, Triana, and the root of the danger haunting them all the whole book. I say some of the twists and connections coming right away, but was happy to see some of the interesting ways they came about. I enjoyed the read, but could have done with less stubborn brooding and more actual conversation between Triana and Remy- but that is something that I find to be a common issue in romance of all sub-genres.

Wolf Hunt is not far off what I was expecting, but was glad to see a few unexpected twists along the way. Fans of the series will want to pick this one up, and since the stage is set off the SWAT home turf I think newcomers to the series will be able to fully enjoy the read as well.

I really enjoy the series but I wasn't able to get into WOLF HUNT. Remy is dangerously sexy as are the rest of his packmates. The story was exciting and there were a few surprises along the way. The reason I couldn't get through the book smoothly is because I didn't like the heroine, Triana. I'm not sure if it's her personality or just her entire side of the story but whenever she got page time, the story seemed to lag.

I think readers and fans of the series will enjoy Remy and Triana's story, she just wasn't a particular favorite of mine.

***I voluntarily read a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and feelings are my own***

Remy, a member of the SWAT team, is in New Orleans with his teammates cross training with NOPD. There he reconnects with Triana, a girl he knew in high school. She's no longer an awkward girl, she has become an irresistible woman. Triana could be The One for him - the one true soul mate each wolf yearns for - but Remy has loved and lost before and is reluctant to take a chance on her. Another winner in the SWAT (Special Wolf Alpha Team) series by Paige Tyler!

First of all, I have to mention how glad I am that this book took place in a different setting than Dallas, TX. Nothing wrong with the place but it was good to have a change in scenery. That being said I loved Remy's story. I've been waiting forever for it and I couldn't be happier than if I'd written it myself.

Remy, unlike every one of the other wolves, doesn't want to find The One for him. He is hurting from the past and I am happy that he ended up with someone he knew. I think that's why it worked. The very distant past was needed to push the past away and have him that chance to be happy. He needed reminding of what it felt like to care for someone.

It was obviously destiny that put them in their path and had Triana live in Texas too. Also that her job can help them solve some cases and help them keep their secret hidden.

I can't wait for the next book in this series and what else the amazing Ms. Tyler has for this SWAT team!

I really liked how this one started out, loved that Remy followed his nose to find an old friend. I thought it was funny how both Remy and Triana had crushes on each other as kids, but didn't do anything about it. Not the case this time around, these two were determined to take advantage of randomly running into each other. The time they spent together was cute, but all too short as Remy did the guy thing and walked away when scared. I so wanted to reach into the book and knock some sense into Remy, he should have explained things better to Triana, she would have understood and slowed things down. Instead some bad guys around town were able to get Triana and of course these were the same bad guys that Remy and the SWAT team were going after. Things from here go about how you guess, with one exception. Turns out Triana's mom is a smart cookie and saw much more than her daughter. A very good thing when Triana needed advice towards the end. Triana made the right choice and found a new home and lots of friends.
