A Note from Paige Tyler:ANIMAL ATTRACTION was originally published in 2008. It was an EPIC Award Finalist, was chosen as BEST BOOK of 2008 at Long and Short Reviews, and received amazing reviews. When I got the rights back from the publisher a little while ago, I decided to revise and rework the story, adding in new characters, a new story arc, and more suspense, action and adventure, which … which turned the original novella into a full-length novel, and I think made it even better. Hope you enjoy it!
Not only are werewolves real, but they’re damn hunky, too.
Frustrated when none of the real newspapers will hire her as a reporter, Eliza Bradley takes the only job she can get—at a paranormal magazine. Her first assignment takes her to Fairbanks, Alaska to investigate the rumors that a werewolf has killed two local men.
When she meets Hunter McCall, a local college professor and an expert on wolves, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to him and ends up spending more time in his bed than worrying about werewolves. That’s when Eliza finds out Hunter isn’t just an animal in the sack, he’s an animal out of it, too—of the werewolf variety. Talk about a complicated relationship.
But Eliza can’t dwell on Hunter’s little shapeshifting issues for long. There’s another werewolf out there with a taste for human blood, and she and Hunter are the only ones who can stop him. If they don’t, they’re likely to become his next victims.

I couldn’t put it down!
There was just something about this story that effortlessly pulled me right along. I think it may have been the underlying mystery that the characters were trying to solve, but whatever it was, it grabbed hold and didn’t let go!
I liked Paige’s unique spin on werewolves, and I loved the action and suspense woven in throughout the book.
The imagery was also very well done; I actually felt like I was standing outside, in the dark, in the freezing-cold Alaskan night looking at the broken down door of…. Or the fear that gripped Eliza as she was getting ready to… (No spoilers!!!)
And if you like steam, there’s a-plenty to go around in these pages!
All in all, I really enjoyed this one and I’d absolutely read more books by Paige!

A rogue werewolf, a reporter, the Alaskan wilderness and a mystery waiting to be solved. The reporters instinct for investigating and putting the pieces together stand out in this story. The fact that she is instantly attracted to a werewolf hiding in plain site is amusing. Together these two, with several friends, figure out who the rogue is and why he’s killing.
I didn’t realize I had this book in my stockpile of books till 2 days ago. Man oh man am I glad I decided to read it. It was originally released in 2008 (when in won an EPIC Award Finalist and was chosen as Bes Book of 2008 at Long and Short Reviews) and reworked in 2014. I don’t know how the original read but the revised version is AMAZING. Once I started reading it around 10:30pm I just couldn’t put it down till 5am when I finished it. We have a young reporter out to prove herself and in trying to assert herself gets fired. Without the experience she needs she is only able to get a job at a “paranormal” paper; which is tough as she doesn’t believe in the sort of stuff, but a job is a job and she needs it. I don’t do spoilers so it’s going to be hard for me to get you excited about this book without giving up it’s truly great story. She heads to Alaska to investigate a tip about “werewolf” involved killing. While there she sees and is instantly sensually aroused by a man sitting next to table during the first night. She meets the man who sent the paper the tip, saying he had evidence of the werewolf; a man she feels is one of those crazy “X-Files, Truth is Out There” people. This leads to meeting and talking with police and a local professor and expert on wolves, which turns out to be the gorgeous guy from the restaurant. Welllll, we have secrets, mysteries, horrendous murders, new friendships, and hot, erotic, explosive, they’ve never felt like this before sex. I have to tell you this story had me itching to get to the end to find out what the hell was going to happen next, and then when I got there, I said NOOOO don’t end yet. Oh yes, I recommend this book to all lovers of paranormal erotic romance, packed with thrills and chills.
