Intense action, sizzling romance, and bold writing… Paige Tyler has a new fan in me!
Jayden Brooks is a SWAT member, the team that packs a lot of “bite”! He never expected to find his mate during a siege at the local high school mind you!
Selena Rosa is said teacher and she lives for her students, encouraging them to leave gang life behind and embrace their education. There was no way she would ever leave behind a student she thought could be saved from gang initiations.
But when she gits bitten by Jayden during all the commotion, she has to quickly learn that she has a new set of powers and she is going to have to learn to control them, fast. It would normally take a few weeks for her to find her wolfy side, but with all the adrenaline of the situation she seems to be in a fast cycle.
Action, adventure, romance – what else do you need? The series hasn’t grown stale over the course of the series and with The Hunters still on the prowl the urgency is still there.
The series is best read in order. Great read.
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
It was a great book!
Selena is a high school teacher for godsakes, not a werewolf.
So how come she is sprouting fangs, furs, and claws.
Jayden did not believe in soulmates.
But when he scented Selena, all bets are off.
On top of that, she is experiencing her first transformation.
Good Luck Jayden! You are going to need it.
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
5 Stars

The clash of werewolves Brooks and Selena is freaking hot! Wolf Rising, SWAT: Special Wolf Alpha Team #8, is a sexy, action-packed romantic suspense. This was my first time reading this series by New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author, Paige Tyler and it was so freaking good! Now, I need to go back and read the other 7.
At first, I will admit, I was a little lost on how Brooks became a werewolf but it all unfolded as the book progressed. Brownie points to Paige Tyler on how they become a werewolf. Rather than the typical getting bit and turning, in this series, it is a genetic mutation. That right there has reeled me right into the series.
SWAT Officer Brooks: Freaking tall, broad, silky dark chocolate Brooks… swoon. My brain bounced from Shemar Moore to Idris Elba throughout this book. Heck throw them in the air and make a hybrid of the two. Just that yummy. He was the perfect alpha for Selena. Well, he is an “Alpha” werewolf but he is able to handle Selena during her transformation into an “Omega” werewolf.
High School Teacher Ms. Selena Rosa: I really liked her character. She is a teacher, a protector, a momma bear through and through to her students. She teaches in the same rough neighborhood that she grew up in. She has become somewhat of a buffer between the gangs and her students and she is ok with it. But when she gets caught between one of her students and a gang member, it triggers the gene mutation causing her to become a werewolf. And this little lady can kick some serious booty!
This would be an awesome tv series. It’s a must read book And should be added to your TBR list.
SWAT – Sexy, Wonderful, Awesome, Terrific – that is what else the letters for SWAT can be in regards to the newest mission for these werewolves. Jayden’s in trouble when he catches the most irresistible scent of the high school teacher he rescues and Selena’s werewolf gene has flipped on in the wake of the traumatic experience. Together these two strong, dynamic characters have a sizzling chemistry that not only electrifies the pages but the readers as well while they take on all the turmoil and changes that they find themselves in. This relationship is scorching hot and quite sweet and readers easily become enamored with Jayden and Selena and want to know every last detail of their story.
Twist and turns, sweet romance and life altering changes can be found throughout this fast paced plot with lots of explosive excitement and thrilling suspense that keeps readers on the edge of their seat as hunters stalk the werewolves, a wedding turns deadly and cops betray their own. This series just keeps getting better and better and I find that I want to read it over and over and over again because I can’t get enough of all the sexy werewolves, wonderful romance, awesome twists and terrific plots that the author keeps creating in her fascinating world that has its own werewolf SWAT team which really just can’t get any sexier than it already is and did I mention HAWT!
Every book in this series is a winner in my opinion. Nothing like combining wolf shifters and SWAT officers. Full of action, romantic suspense and hot sex. All my favorite things to read.
Jayden Brooks isn’t thinking he’ll find “THE ONE” like his teammates but when he goes into a high school classroom of Selena Rosa he suspects he’s found her. Selena has been trying to drag her students away from gangs since she lost her family to gang violence. She’s confronted by one of her former students, Pablo, who’s bullying and belittling his “best friend” Ruben when things escalate out of control. This traumatic experience triggers her latent wolf genetics and brings her to Jayden’s attention as he tries to defuse the confrontation. The story continues as Selena rapidly shows her new confusing wolf powers and finds herself in the middle of gang unification war and distribution of the illegal drug fentanyl. Add to that the werewolf hunters closing in and the SWAT pack trying to discover who’s giving up their locations within the police department. This is a jam packed book that is so HOT. I just adore Paige’s stories. Thank you Paige
and Sourcebooks for allowing me to review this book.
Wolf Rising (SWAT: Special Wolf Alpha Team, #8) by Paige Tyler Another great book by Paige… Thanks to the publisher and #NetGalley for letting me preview this book. This is Jayden(Brooks) and Selena’s story. I had a great time revisiting with other members of the team and getting updated on their stories.. This story grabbed me and didn’t let go… I felt like I was part of their story and felt the tears and laughs… this was an intense story and keep me guessing …plenty of steamy stuff and a very HEA. Can’t wait for the next book…and to learn more about Kat.
The Dallas PD SWAT team have their hands full, thanks to a growing drug problem and gang-related incidents: a raid on a warehouse doesn’t go exactly as planned, then there’s a hostage situation in the Terrace Grove High School, where Jayden Brooks takes a bullet meant for teacher Selena Rosa. Jayden wasn’t too badly injured because he’s a werewolf, but the most startling was that Selena might be “The One” for him, his true mate. The hostage-taking triggered Selena’s shifter DNA to surface, and Selena’s first shift might happen sooner than anticipated, which makes Jayden wonder if the connection he and Selena share could only be a reaction to her impending change.
This is a great book! WOLF RISING is the eight instalment in the SWAT series, and decidedly one of the finest books in this series. While recurring characters are featured, and there’s a continuing story arc, WOLF RISING stands perfectly on its own; no pertinent details are missing, no one will be lost! WOLF RISING is flawlessly paced: from the explosive action at the beginning, to the SWAT team trying to elucidate the mystery of “the hunters”, finding the identity of the traitor in the Dallas Police Department, and the sultry romantic times between Jayden and Selena, it all flows seamlessly. The dialogues are spot-on, the plot meticulously crafted, and again Paige Tyler has written a splendid hero: no woman in her right mind could resist Jayden! And, apart from the eye colour, the model on the cover is exactly how I imagined Jayden. Selena is a fighter, she doesn’t shy away from confrontations, and she surprises everyone, even herself; one couldn’t dream of a better-matched pair.
Villains can make or break a suspense novel, and the bad guys in WOLF RISING are superb: they are terrifyingly realistic, ordinary people who have somehow turned deadly. There are a few subplots that bode well for the future: one revolving around Zane Kendrick, another around Carter Nelson – both Jayden’s teammates – and the secondary are fully fleshed-out and enhance the story: Becca, a good friend of Selena’s; Ernesto, Ruben, and a most intriguing black cat. The chemistry between Selena and Jayden is palpable from the start, and getting to know both their backstories was exquisitely done, and it makes us believe that they fall for each other so quickly. WOLF RISING is an excellent read, and with the hints dropped at the end, I am already eagerly anticipating the next book in the series!
I give 4 1/2 stars
One thing you can count on with Paige Tyler each story will be unique. Jayden and Selena’s story did not disappoint on that front. I really enjoyed the twists and turns in this book. This series continues to get better with each new book. I really enjoy the departure from the typical wolf shifter books this series and author provide.
Jayden Brooks was just doing his job. He put himself in the line of fire to prevent a teacher from being shot by one of her students. As he was carrying her out to the ambulance, their eyes met and something clicked between them. He wasn’t sure what happened, just that he could not stop thinking about her.
Selena Rosa was determined to keep as many of her students as possible away from the gangs. Even so, she did not expect one of her students to come into her classroom and try to kill her. She was saved from that attempt by SWAT officer Jayden Brooks. In addition to her wanting to see him to thank him for saving her, she wanted to see him because she couldn’t stop thinking about him.
As Selena and Jayden start to get to know each other, Selena notices she’s going through some unexplained changes. Jayden also notices but he knows what the changes mean. Can he convince Selena of what’s happening, keep her for himself, and also keep her safe from all the danger surrounding SWAT and the gangs?
Action packed, sexy, thrilling and engaging romantic adventure filled with danger, secrets and passion… could not put it down, loved it.
Jayden Brooks is a strong, sexy and protective alpha male and not at all convinced that a one true love even exists for him…. Selena Rosa is a smart, sweet and shy teacher that Jayden rescued after a hostage situation and is now experience all sorts of new things as her entire life changes. Was hooked from the very first chapter.
This is Book 8 in the Swat: Special Wolf Alpha Team series. I love to read Paige Tyler’s books. They are all so exciting and she just keeps making them better and better. Selena is a teacher in a bad school district. Her class is held hostage by a student and that’s when the Swat team enters the picture. Brooks saves her from being shot by the student. There’re so many surprising things going on throughout the book and you will be kept guessing as to what’s going to happen at the end. What a great book! I love the Swat team and can’t wait to read more about them. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book that I received from Netgalley.
I love Paige Tyler.This is totally original with a good twist.
Great action. Great romance. Great read.
Selena Rosa is an English teacher at Terence Grove High School, she is proof to at least some of the kids in this school, that there is a way out of this neighborhood. She doesn’t allow disrespect in her classroom so when Pablo, who unfortunately has joined a gang, makes fun at ‘his friend’ Ruben as he’s reading outloud. Selena confronts him and sets off a sequence of events that will be life changing for her.
Jaden Brooks, is one of the SWAT team members called to diffuse an escalating situation in Selena’s classroom. Unfortunately Pablo decided to shoot and Brooks dove into her to prevent her from being shot. Interrupted by work he hasn’t had a chance to track her down.
Instead she finds him, bearing gifts of brownies for him and the rest of the team. Jaden steals her away to a more private spot and manages to convince her to make dinner for him.
I love that Brooks has found his one, but things are not going to be simple, A case with gangs, an imprisoned hunter that thinks he’s the Alpha and a drug that is killing people.
The traumatic way they met has also caused a change in Selena, she is becoming a wolf and not just any kind of wolf. A difficult situation to be sure.
Action-packed, suspenseful, edge of your seat drama and plenty of heat.
I love this series and I really can’t wait for the next book.
I am a huge fan of this series and I have loved every single book in this series. There was absolutely no question that I wouldn’t love this one just as much as I loved the others in this incredible series. I fell in love with Jayden and Selena the moment that they met each other. I highly recommend that you read every single book in this series and I cannot wait for the next book in this series which will be Zane’s.
This has been one of the best series that I have read so far, each book gets better with the intense story line………………can not wait for the next one!!!
Book eight in the Swat: Special Wolf Alpha Team is a well-written book, I want to read the other books in this series. Suspense, drama, danger, hostage taking, and romance, a book I enjoyed reading. I received a copy of this book through NetGalley and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
