Another story hit out of the park.. Trey and Samantha have been circling around their mutual attraction of two years. Trey and his pack mates have been investigating the Butcher Murders for the past three week - trying to find a clue if the murder is a supernatural or human.

Samantha has been curios about the SWAT member and how the coyotes / weird animal sittings to crimes always connect back to the SWAT force. The contaminated blood samples not making sense with the finding / documentations of the force. She was been keeping a file on each of the weird happenings for each member of the SWAT Team,

The story ties into the STAT stories greatly - Vampires and Frankenstein like creatures. The only problem with the story was we did not get the usual preface to how Trey was transitioned to a Werewolf that we usually get before the main story begins.

The story leave the reader wanting more. I want to know what happened to Jake and Alysia (STAT) and how do the SWAT team rescue them in the next STAT story.

When it comes to stories that highlight or mention military vets, I watch it like a hawk. I do this because I am very sensitive to a negative portrayal of our soldiers who have served. This book started out as a 3 star and when a subplot brings in the plight of a military vet, this shot up to a 4 star. This story is all about Trey and how he finds his "one". It is much more than a fated mate story. There is a serial killer, new supernaturals and ulterior motives for a date.

Trey and Samantha are colleagues for the past two years. He works on the SWAT and she works in the medical examiners office. Their paths keep crossing through work which is fine by Trey as he thinks Samantha may be his one. But how does one broach this topic with a human? In this world building, werewolves are only born, not made and to bring the supernatural to a scientist? Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Whilst Samantha and Trey are doing their mating dance, the serial killings are becoming more complicated and brutal. There are things that don't match up and Samantha's view of the world as human only is hampering her work. The villain in this story is as expected and for reasons I figured out pretty early on. This is because as soon as the 2nd crime scene was described, I started to suspect the motive.

Circling back to the military vet subplot, I specifically liked the accurate depictions of military trying to integrate back into the civilian lifestyle. There are difficulties and Ms. Tyler touches upon these in a respectful manner. The realities of military vet suicide is worse than what is shown here. The reasons are real and heartbreaking. I liked seeing the thoughts and feelings Trey shows when his best friend is gone.

The conclusion to this story moves fast and ends in a manner that isn't exactly satisfying for me. There is a lose end that I believe will bite the SWAT team in the ass. We shall see if this thread is just forgotten or shows up later in this series or crosses over to the STAT series. I do like the intersection of the two series going on in this book and possibly the next. This romantic suspense is recommended to readers who like paranormal romance with fated mates and happily ever afters.

Trey and Samantha have been circling around each other for a while now, neither one of them making the move to ask the other one out. Samantha is a medical examiner and she knows their is something odd about the SWAT team but can't quite put her finger on it. Trey wants to ask Samantha out but he knows she doesn't quite trust his team and she is way to smart not to notice that some things are not adding up whenever his team is involved in a case.

When they do finally go out its obvious to both of them that they have something special but the question is will either of them act on it and if it will effect the case they are both currently working on. They have a killer to catch and every second that is wasted means another chance a victim will be found.

Really enjoyed this story the chemistry between the two was great and the mystery of who the killer was not obvious will make the story even better. Can't wait to read another one in this series.

I always enjoy the books in this series - SWAT: Special Wolf Alpha Team. Lots of action, suspense, and of course romance. SWAT werewolf Trey Duncan and medical examiner Samantha Mills have been attracted to each other for awhile but it's hard to be romantic over dead bodies. There's a serial killer on the loose and they are working hard to solve the crime. Trey has to hide the fact that he's a wolf and that isn't easy when Sam is "The One" mate for him. Recommended.

Trey and Samantha's story. Good continuation of the series, and overall a good book. Although the creepy corpses were a little hard to read about. Overall though, a good book, series and great author. Would highly recommend.

Oh, I just love these books. They're not high literature. they are maybe medium literature, but they are the sort of book that sometimes I just need--nothing deep, but endlessly entertaining and fun and a quick read for when I don't want to deal with other more complicated things.
