⭐⭐⭐⭐

Diego Martinez has always aspired to be a part of the venerated Dallas SWAT team. And after the traumatic experience that triggered his change, he got his wish. Diego is attempting to talk down a crazy hostage-taker in a diner, when he meets Bree and her son, Brandon. Brandon is a brand-new beta werewolf, still in the process of undergoing his transformation. Diego takes the teenager and his mother under his wing and inducts them into the world of werewolves.

I’m really enjoying this entire series and the Dallas SWAT team, of course. Diego is a great guy. Very supportive and understanding. I also found it very realistic that the process of adjusting Brandon to his new life didn’t go all smooth sailing. I like Bree and admire her dedication to Brandon and her strength standing up to her ex-husband.

The plot was very different from the previous books. It made for a nice change from the hunters that have been featured in the past. There is plenty of suspense and the real reason for everything that has been going on is only revealed later and came as quite a surprise.

I recommend this if you like werewolves and romantic suspense. I think it’s better if you read the series in order, though it’s probably not the end of the world if you don’t.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with an ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Was I hooked by this book? Oh, yes.
