On a mission to expose as much corruption as she can Mac is determined to get access to the team by any means necessary. Reporter character usually tend to annoy me in stories as they tend to consistently put getting their scoops and the 'right' to know ahead of common sense. But in this case Mac seems to find a balance between her need to find out what is being hidden behind Dallas' renowned SWAT team and the need to protect what she eventually finds out.

Gage is a wonderfully calm, sure and deliberate alpha leader and I enjoyed the way that he asserted himself with both his team and with Mac. Gage is the kind of leader that would put his pack and the safety of others ahead of his own happiness and even his own safety if needed.

HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF is a pretty quick read because the plot moves forward at a good pace with no real lags in the story. I do hope however that in future books we learn more about the paranormal lore that should go along with a wolf shifter story. We don't get a lot of paranormal information in this one. It seems that most of the males in the group are definitely alphas and I would like to know how that is going to continue to work for them or if they will all eventually branch out on their won. I'm sure that as the series moves forward a lot of the blanks will be filled in. The gaps in the lore Tyler is building is really the only complaint that I had with this one. With a bit of tweaking this could have just as easily simply been a really good romantic suspense novel.

Although HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF is technically a paranormal romantic suspense novel the paranormal aspect isn't played up too much. Although it should be an important part of the story the paranormal aspect isn't explicitly explained. I enjoyed the introduction to the world created by Tyler and will definitely be reading further into the series.

Pssst ... the Dallas SWAT team has a secret. Despite the best efforts of team commander Gage Dixon, top journalist Mackenzie Stone is perilously close to discovering and publishing her findings. Gage and Mac have more in common than being workaholics not leaving much time for a social life. They spark attraction in each other and try keep their distance since they're each hiding something.

Mac is convinced the team is using drugs or are crooked cops since the only people with negative input abou ...more

2.5 stars
I don't know how to rate this as it is not bad, definitely good at points. Still it was the standard PNR military with nothing really special. Very close to a CR with paranormal thrown in. I wouldn't recommend this but might be liked by those that are avid readers of both CR and PNR. I'm not so excited about CR (contemporary romance) though I do read it, it is not my go to genre. It has to have something special or be excellent in relationship or story. This doesn't have either though b ...more
