Her Lone Wolf

Her Lone Wolf by Paige Tyler

A breathtaking continuation of the X-Op series of shifters tracking down killers. This book is action packed with danger, romance and thrills.
I loved Danica's confidence and selflessness. She wants to protect Clayne even at the cost of her own happiness. Both are more concerned about the other and deeply, emotionally connected. Plus hot, sexy couples and emotionally satisfying connections. Hot sex scenes too.

Read the first in the series, Her Perfect Mate, before indulging with this book. This is the second in the series and stands alone. There is quite a bit of involvement with the characters from the first book and a continuing storyline so in order is best.

Im anxiously awaiting the next in the series. It will be a high priority in my TBR pile.

First off, this did not pick up anything like I expected it to based on the ending of book one. But, don't disregard that ending - it's super important, just not quite yet it seems. Instead we get to see jerk-wad Clayne, the wolf shifter, be not such a jerk-wad. Now, don't expect to see his softer side - I really don't think he has one, but you will get to see him put in his place just a little by the woman he never stopped loving.

There are a ton of flashbacks in this story. Danica and Clayne have a history and the important parts are shared this way. There were a little too many for my taste - flashbacks pull me too far out of the story and I think they should be used more sparingly than they were in this book. But that was really the only downside to the story.

The chase is on for a serial killer shifter, and he is one crafty guy. He's highly intelligent and has managed to stay one step (or more) ahead of everyone for a very long time. Watching Clayne and Danica put the pieces together to figure out who he is and where he may turn up next was great. And of course it gave them plenty of time to find out the truth of their past and spend some "quality time" together. This bad guy will keep you on the edge of your seat - so be prepared. Every time I thought he was definitely caught - something happened and the whole game took off in a new direction.

We get to see Lily and Landon from the first book, too. And not just as quick cameo type roles, they are on their own chase as a result of the events in book one (you definitely want to read these in order) and even have a small part in helping out Clayne and Danica with a little issue they run in to.

While book two wasn't quite as good as the first book in my opinion. This is a series that I'm falling in love with!

I love the way Paige can describe a fight scene and it is as if I were there. I can vividly picture the full scene including the moves, the "sounds" and positions the characters are in. She gets an "A" for her descriptive writing skills. Great stories too. I can't wait for the next one.
