UNDERCOVER WOLF (STAT Book 2) by Paige Tyler

Publication Date: May 25, 2021

Genre: Paranormal Romantic Suspense

An unexpected partnership leads two wolves to reconsider everything they know…

Alpha werewolf Harley Grant isn’t exactly comfortable with her inner wolf. Even though she’s on a STAT Team where she can use her abilities because her teammates know about her, she refuses to do so, putting herself and sometimes them at risk.

Alpha werewolf Sawyer Bishop would give anything for his M16 Team to know about his inner wolf, but his teammates are mistrustful of anyone or anything with inhuman abilities. When he meets Harley on an overlapping case and realizes she’s a fellow wolf, he’s more than a little intrigued.

Now that STAT and MI6 have to team up to stop a crew of supernatural bad guys intent on causing a nuclear meltdown, Harley can no longer deny her wolf and Sawyer can no longer hide his. As they grow closer to resolving the case and grow closer to each other, they discover things aren’t what they seem and revenge could cost them their lives.

I found this STAT installment to be fast paced and exciting from page one. International intrigue, mystery, danger, and a variety of new paranormals to make things interesting. Although the extent of their globetrotting seemed excessive for the situations, it did make for fun reading and gave time for the romance to blossom.

Harley’s continued issue about shifting bothered me. She had been with STAT long enough to be comfortable in a pack, so I couldn’t reconcile her hang-up with her strength of character. Thankfully, I liked everything else about her. She made a great match for Sawyer. Both were strong and accomplished yet yearning for more and not sure what that more was. Sawyer was a handsome Alpha in MI6 – I could easily imagine his delicious accent as he worked operations or seduced Harley. It was nice that although they were clearly “the one” for each other, they took the time to let their relationship build instead of either fighting it or surrendering to it. That gave the romance a nice depth. There wasn’t a lot of sexy time (what there is, was hot!), but with the story blending in, it worked just fine for me.

This is a romantic globe-trotting, special agent wild ride from beginning to end. Loved it.

KEEP YOUR TEAM CLOSE AND YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER…

Werewolf agent Caleb Lynch takes the lead on STAT’s newest case: to track down the thieves who stole nuclear weapons from the air force. His best lead points him to a brother-sister duo with a shady record, but Caleb sees something in the mysterious woman that could change his whole world.

Brielle Fontaine’s supernatural abilities are a force to be reckoned with, making her one of STAT’s biggest threats and a most useful ally. But Brielle is suspicious of anyone who might use her for their own gain, so she keeps most people at a distance—that is, until she meets werewolf Caleb Lynch.

When Brielle, Caleb, and the other STAT agents come under fire from supernatural terrorists seeking to start a war, the attraction between them could lead to something much more explosive…

I thoroughly enjoyed this fast-paced addition to the STAT series. Right off I was pulled into the mystery and danger the team had to defuse. The introduction of unknown supernaturals made their mission more difficult, while giving the reader a good time.

I was looking forward to seeing how the author would go about finding Caleb’s mate, hoping it was a good match because he deserved it. Brielle is that woman. Yes, I thought there was more to her than being one of the bad guys in book two but was pleased to learn more about her. She is strong and intelligent, yet not cocky. A perfect combination to make me like her and become invested in their relationship. I liked watching them interact and the sweet way they grew together.

As always, I’m a sucker for books that involve a group…when it is done well. STAT is one of the good ones. The pack dynamic is full of banter and the caring only a close-knit group has. The kind that makes me wish I were a part of it all. I enjoyed the storyline, the globetrotting and battles kept me glued to the pages wondering what would happen next. However, there were a few instances that pulled me out of the book because the situation was so improbable due to the location and proximity of humans. I quickly recovered to read on and follow this romantic and sexy wild ride. I can’t wait to see who is up next, and what evil they will face.
