How do you coordinate 2 teams, STAT with MI6, when MI6 doesn't know of the existence of supernatural beings? Uneasily, that's how. Someone is kidnapping supernaturals off the streets and selling them at auction. STAT needs the help of an MI6 team who's dealt with some of those involved, but unfortunately sees supers as monsters. They don't realize the leader of their team Sawyer Bishop is a werewolf. He turned 8 years ago saving his team in a FUBAR situation that should have killed him. While recovering on his own he gained control of his new strengths and kept them hidden from his team.

Harley Grant is the Alpha of her team but because of her past, has suppressed her werewolf. She went full wolf once with her family and they disowned her not understanding who and what she was. When she meets Sawyer she recognizes his wolf but her whole team quickly realizes Sawyer's team doesn't know he is one. As they try to work together to locate the kidnapping ring it's an uneasy association. Harley and Sawyer quickly realized they are drawn to each other but neither realize the other is The One. Teammate Caleb finally spells it out for them and he's usually the clueless one being an Omega werewolf.

I loved watching this story unfold. We dig for a while trying to find clues seeing the team getting ambushed over and over by the bad guys. We discover there's a leak somewhere in the system. The teams learn to work with each other. Truths come out causing soul searching within, making individuals have to decide where their trust and loyalties lie. Eventually a past evil returns and must be dealt with. Along the way Harley and Sawyer unite with explosive chemistry. This is a fun adventure.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

After reading and enjoying the first book in the STAT: Special Threat Assessment Team series, I was looking forward to see what Paige Tyler would come up with next for the STAT team member. I admit, I was initially a little disappointed that this wasn't Caleb's book (I can't wait for his story!) . Thankfully, the author more than made it for it by pairing Harley with sweet sexy British alpha werewolf who loves to read. Need I say more?

I enjoyed Sawyer and Harley's story. It was fast-paced and packed-full of action, twists and turns. I was pleasantly surprised to have the STAT team paired up with MI6 while trying to capture the man responsible for kidnapping and murdering supernaturals. Of course, the members of MI6 are not aware that supernatural exists, which made for some tension-filled moments which just added more conflict to the story.

Having Harley and Sawyer paired up on this mission made for some great candid moments as well as some sexually charged moments too. I admit, their connection was slow in coming since Harley preferred to keep some aspects of her life to herself and didn't open up to Sawyer right away. But slow and steady won the race and soon I could see that their connection was solid, regardless of them being each other's THE ONE. Add to that an explosive chemistry and I was sold.

This time around I appreciated the fact that the author balanced the romance with the intrigue without it affecting either element. IMHO, UNDERCOVER WOLF had just the right amount of sexy times while on a mission, I know, I know. I can't believe I said that either. 😀

While this is the second book in the series, it can be read as a stand alone. However, I think the reader would benefit from reading the previous installment since it introduces the STAT team members and details why the task force was established. Also, it was a great book.

All in all, a fast-paced suspenseful romance with plenty of action and explosive chemistry.

The STAT team is as much a favorite as the SWAT team and do not disappoint. The depth of the characters and the development of the story keeps you intrigued from beginning to end. A great read and I'm looking forward to what's next.

Undercover Wolf is the second book in Paige Tyler’s new supernatural series called STAT. This series is a spin-off from Paige’s other supernatural series about a werewolf SWAT Team. I have read all of the books in SWAT as well as both STAT books. Paige continues to deliver on everything that makes the supernatural intriguing. There’s plenty of action, mystery, suspense, and romance.

Undercover Wolf focuses on STAT agent Harley Grant and MI6 agent Sawyer Bishop. They are both werewolves who cross paths while their respective teams are investigating a human trafficking ring. These criminals and their victims are not all normal. There are vampires, shape-shifters, a mermaid, and plenty of other supernatural creatures that will definitely catch you by surprise. Technically, this book could be read as a stand-alone but you will get a more comprehensive experience if you at least read the first STAT book, Wolf Under Fire. Sawyer and Harley hit it off immediately and their attraction builds throughout the entire book. Paige does a great job of weaving in a lot of life lessons about family and forgiveness in all of her books and this one is no different. On top of that, just like any good novel about law enforcement, there is plenty of fighting, shooting, and more fighting except these creatures don’t go down easily.

I love how Paige continues to reinvent the supernatural that we all grew up with. She makes you really examine your understanding of the myths about werewolves, vampires, and the like. It makes it very difficult to even come close to knowing what will happen next which really adds to the mystery. Each book is always better than the last and I have yet to be disappointed.

This is book 2 of a fun and exciting paranormal romantic suspense series!

Harley Grant is a werewolf, but she's not really in touch with her wild side, after a traumatic experience caused her to suppress her wolf. She's an agent on the STAT team, and she's still getting used to all the team dynamics, especially when her wolf senses are dulled most of the time. There are 2 other werewolves on the team, and she envies the ease they have with their wolves. They're on a mission in France, when she catches the scent of another wolf and it's the best thing she's ever smelled, attached to the most beautiful man she's ever seen. Lucky for her, he's a good guy too!

Sawyer Bishop is an MI6 agent. He's also a werewolf, though no one on his team knows that, and he'd like to keep it that way. But, on a mission in France, he runs into Harley, and he's hooked. He's thrilled when the bosses say that his MI6 team will be working with STAT on the case, but he's worried that he won't be able to hide his wolf any more when they're hunting other supernatural creatures. Will his team accept him and his wolf, or will they turn their backs on him?

Sawyer and Harley had an instant connection, in a way they had never felt connected to another person before. It was hard for them to get time together to figure stuff out, with everything that was going on with the investigation, but they were constantly drawn to each other and stole time where they could. I loved the ways they both fully embraced the draw they felt, and wanted to explore it together.

I enjoyed getting to see the other STAT team members again here, and I'm excited for Caleb's story next! They really are a family/pack, and I love how they all care for each other. There was a bit of a different dynamic within the MI6 team. Sawyer had good reason to think that his team couldn't handle his truth, and watching them deal with everything was an interesting contrast.

The suspense plot here kept me guessing about what would happen next, and the bad guys were REALLY BAD, which was great. It got a bit bananas at some points, but that just made it more fun. Since our good guys are supernatural, they can take a lot of hits and keep on pushing, so it was always exciting. The werewolf mythology in this series is unique, and I loved learning more about it in this story.

I adored both Sawyer and Harley as characters, and I'm excited to peek in on them through the rest of the series! They really made sense as a couple, and watching accept their feelings, and figure out their stuff like grownups was so great. I'm looking forward to book 3!

This is book 2 in the STAT series and it can absolutely be read as a standalone, although I would still read the first book before this one. Harley Grant is a werewolf who isn't always comfortable with her inner wolf. She refuses to use her abilities even though her team knows about her, and it puts not only them but herself in danger because of it. Alpha werewolf Sawyer Bishop wishes he could tell his MI6 team what he is. But they are distrustful of anything or anyone that is different than them. But when he meet's Harley on a case that overlaps, he can't help but be intrigued by her. And when their teams have to team up to stop the bad guys, neither can hide what they are. And as they grow closer to each other, they discover things aren't what they seem and revenge could cost them everything.

I like that there is more focus on this spin-off on the other supernaturals that are out there. Especially when they thought they were the only supernaturals for so long. It's a nice change to see a lot of different things in this world. I liked that there was action almost throughout the whole book, although I didn't like how his team reacted to things that are different than them. Honestly, I felt like the book was more about the bigger storyline rather than the couple-although they are a big part of the story. It just felt like it geared more towards the action and the mission rather than them. And it didn't make it bad or anything like that, just different and I felt like I was missing something there. Other than that, I liked everything else with this book and story line in general.

Undercover Wolf is the second book in Paige Tyler’s new and amazing paranormal suspense series called STAT: Special Threat Assessment Team. This story checks off all the my boxes: Fantastic storyline✅. Great, well developed characters✅. Action-packed✅. Terrific chemistry and romance ✅.

Werewolf Harley Grant, a member of STAT, and alpha werewolf Sawyer Bishop, a member of MI6, meet unexpectedly in a bar while investigating a possible supernatural trafficking ring. Sparks and bullets fly as both teams work together to save the victims and stop a potential global threat. Both have issues they are dealing with but will they be able to put those aside in order to save the world and themselves? Read it and find out!
All the books in Paige Tyler’s STAT series contain a happily ever after and can be read as a standalone. However, reading it in order will give you a better appreciation for the characters and the series itself. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced readers copy received from Netgalley.

Loved it! This series continues to get better & better. I love Harley & Sawyer chemistry and connection with each other. The action & suspense is page turning magic. Caleb is a hoot and I love the humor he sprinkles throughout the book. I cannot wait for the next one.

Undercover Wolf
STAT: Special Threat Assessment Team Series - Book 2
Follows SWAT Series Book 11
By Paige Tyler

Sourcebooks Casablanca - June 2021

Paranormal Romance


Harley Grant and her fellow STAT teammates were in Paris trying to identify a human trafficking ring, one that specialized in people with special abilities, when she discovered a fellow werewolf. As it turned out, the werewolf was a British MI6 agent and now both teams were going to work together.

Sawyer Bishop never let the other members of his team know he was a werewolf, and their reactions to learning about the others in the world confirmed his decision. But he was amazed at the American STAT team and relished the opportunity to learn more about werewolves. Even more, he enjoyed the time he was able to spend with Harley.

But this wasn't a Parisian holiday, and lives were at stake. They needed to dismiss prejudices and come together and work as one team to save multiple hostages

Undercover Wolf is non-stop action, romance and adventure. I enjoyed seeing the STAT team discover the MI6 team, and how they interacted with one another. The suspense was palpable as they tried to find a way to find and save the hostages. The romance was sweet to see Harley and Sawyer find one another and discover they are the "One" for each other. Although set in the SWAT world, and is the second in the STAT series, it can be read on its own, but you'd be missing out on some fantastic reads.

On an undercover mission, Harley is surprised to find another wolf shifter, not just an ordinary wolf shifter but one working with a rival alphabet agency tasked with the same mission as she and her team. What are the odds? Of course Harley is on a team of super naturals and Sawyer's team has no idea that he is a wolf shifter. 
As the two teams join together the pursue the same bad guys it turns out that Harley and Sawyer may actual have a lot more going on than simply partnering on the job. Sawyer's team is opening is openly skeptical and even hostile about shifters hence why Sawyer has never come clean. 
Harley has suppressed her wolf for years because her family was not accepting of her change. Can the two heal each other even as they are tasked on a dangerous mission together? 
There are twists and turns and new twists to the turns with some really cool characters with some interesting supernatural powers. There are some nice adrenaline fueled episodes and chases that keep the story moving at a good clip.  I believe we are just getting our feet wet in this series with a lot more excitement to come.

Paige Tyler has an amazing way of giving her readers the perfect escapes with a lot of action, mystery, intrigue, people just being idiot people, and a romance that will have your heart beating faster. UNDERCOVER WOLF is the epitome of Ms. Tyler's best work and when you hit the end you will wish there were more pages!

Sawyer & Harley

Harley's US STAT team was working with MI6 for the first time. The Brits weren't excited about working with the US team but to find they had to work with a team of "monsters" werewolves--too much. A major bad guy was dealing with supernaturals and planning a nuclear disaster.

Sawyer had kept his secret of being a werewolf from his Team. Now that the others were revealed and the MI6 group had shown their feelings he was glad he had kept quiet and wondered if he could keep it that way. His attraction to Harley made it even more difficult.

The mission was dangerous. Would their growing feelings for each get in the way?

An exciting read with amazing characters, secrets revealed, loyalty tested, lots of action, steam, some comic relief-- A story you won't forget or want to end.

My favorite series of Paige's is her SWAT series, which I think is fantastic. The STAT spin-off series is ramping up to be just as great. It incorporates all the elements I love in the SWAT series and adds world travel. YAY! Undercover Wolf is the second book in the series and kinda picks up a bit after the first book. I really enjoy the interaction with the secondary characters, it makes the narrative "pop".

Harley and Sawyer meet up on a stake-out, and end up rescuing each other. They are from 2 different law enforcement groups and must learn to work together. They travel the world to break up an international kidnapping ring. Of course, along the way they fall in love.

Great characterizations and a kick-ass plot make a fast paced interesting story, that takes you on a wild ride. Hopefully in the next book we can meet up with some more of the different paranormals.

Received as an ARC from Netgalley and SourceBooks. Thank you.

Undercover Wolf is a fast paced procedural that takes us all over the world in search of human/supernaturals trafficking. This story delves into the nature of family and acceptance. Sawyer and Harley couldn’t be more perfect for each other. I loved this installment. Even though this is part of a series each book can be read and enjoyed standalone.

Undercover Wolf by Paige Tyler
Book 2 of the STAT: Special Threat Assessment Team. A spin-off of the SWAT series. Paranormal werewolf shifter romance. Can be read as a stand-alone but characters from the first book are part of the team in this book.
Hailey Grant is a member of the special team sent to France to investigate a series of kidnappings of supernaturals. Hailey is surprised to meet another werewolf on the MI6 team but they work well together when the threat turns to gunfire.

Large cast of characters from the STAT and MI6 teams and extra support. I had trouble keeping up with them all at times. Hailey switched from could shift, to couldn’t, to could in her memories so many times I was confused. It took me half the book to be clear about her issues.

Fast based action with romance on the run. Sawyer, the hero, was steady and the strong silent type. The secondary characters were intriguing with amusing traits. I’m guessing we will see more of them in this expanding supernatural world and I’m looking forward to getting their stories. Especially Caleb.
A romping rollercoaster ride.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley. I’ve also purchased a copy to share.

Thank you Netgalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for the chance to read an advanced copy of Undercover wolf by Paige Tyler. I really needed a distraction this week and I got it with the 2nd book in her STAT (Special Threat Assessment Team) Series. The action starts right away and doesn't let up! I can always count on Paige to give me someone in the background that I quickly become attached to (in this case its Caleb!) This series is a bit different from her original SWAT as it opens up her Werewolf world a lot more...
Alpha werewolf Harley Grant isn't comfortable with her inner wolf. Alpha werewolf Sawyer Bishop would give anything for his M16 Team to know about his inner wolf, but he has hidden that part of himself from them for years. When he meets Harley on an overlapping case and realizes she's a fellow wolf, he's more than a little intrigued. Now these two teams join 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.
The book can read as a stand alone, but better if read in order with SWAT being read first. There is a even a Supernatural nod to Sam and Dean in the book -- loved it! 3.5 stars rounded up to 4

:

After Wolf Under Fire, I promised I would try the next part of the STAT series, before giving up on this series. And I'm glad I did! As I mentioned, in the STAT series (compared to the SWAT-series), the focus is less on hunky werewolves and more on other supernatural beings. Fortunately Undercover Wolf has enough werewolf funkiness and less darkness than Wolf Under Fire.
Jake's team from the previous part is thrown together with the MI6 team (yep secret service, with British dialogue, whoohoo!). When Sawyer's werewolf gene was activated during a mission gone wrong four years ago, he decided not to tell his MI-6 team he became a werewolf out of fear of being rejected. And when he sees his team mates reactions when they are forced to work together with the STAT-team, he is glad that he hasn't come clean. Hayley may be a werewolf, but her instincts are severely lacking. As much as her love life. So, she is very surprised when she and Sawyer hit it off instantly. Together with their teams, they try to find out what the bad guys are after. Which is a bit tricky, when their mission is compromised. Since the STAT-team and the MI-6 team already had some trust issues. Now everybody becomes a suspect.
So, in all, a very good read. Full of suspense, twists and turns and a lot of fun. Caleb, the omega, who might be a bit unstable, is an absolute hoot. I'm rooting for him in the next part of this series. Four out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

Undercover Wolf is book 2 in the STAT: Special Threat Assessment Team by Paige Tyler. The story centres around Alpha werewolf Harley Grant and Alpha werewolf Sawyer Bishop who are thrown together due to their jobs overlapping with one another. The story follows them as they travel around the world trying to beat the bad guys and save the day as they both figure out who they can trust.

Like previous Paige Tyler books, this one is full of action, suspense and passion. Both the characters are instant hits with me! I enjoyed reading about their journey as well as them juggling their increasingly dangerous jobs and their relationship with each other. I love the paranormal element of Paige Tyler books, which definitely makes her a one click author for me.

3.5 Stars

UNDERCOVER WOLF is the second installment in Paige Tyler’s STAT series. I think this is a great series is you enjoy the combination of Romantic Suspense and Paranormal Romance. Tyler blends together great shifters with detailed action scenes and UNDERCOVER WOLF is no exception.

I feel like there aren’t many books that have this much action and paranormal aspects to it these days, so I feel like this series is special for that reason alone. Tyler’s writing is easy to follow and enjoyable. Sometimes her characters can be a little hit or miss for me, but I enjoyed both the Alpha werewolves in Harley Grant and Sawyer Bishop. Their personalities felt much more authentic to me and I enjoyed their interaction.

Sometimes I would’ve liked more of slower pace in some scenes and then I wanted to speed things up in other scenes, so I do wish there was better pacing, but I did like this book overall. If you’re a fan of werewolves and action, then I don’t think that you can go wrong with one of Tyler’s books.
