Introduction
Wolf Unleashed is a story that I was so thrilled to read. This is a series that is so much fun and unforutnatley I have been HIGHLY neglecting all of this time. But wow this one was just so wonderful. I didn't have many issues with it, it was really one major issue, but the rest of the story was just flawless. There is something so unique about the way in which Paige Tyler writes her PNR. I love the sense of danger and suspense that she implements, her writing is edgy and thrilling and guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat. I can guarantee that you won't be able to put her books down either! They are THAT good! I just adore the way in which she wrote this one and it has some intriguing elements that will instantly pull you in. But fair warning there is animal abuse.

The Main Protagonists
The Hero: Alex Travino
-Alpha
-Wolf Shifter
-Law Enforcement

The Heroine: Lacey Barton
-Animal Vet
-Fighter against animal abuse

Summary
When Alex and Lacey first meet each other, there is an instant attraction that they have to each other. They meet due to similiar circumstances for their jobs, but there is an attraction and the hero definitely pines for the heroine, but she doesn't instantly return to. Lacey is focused on her job and saving animals and that is her primary focus. But when she and Alex keep bumping into each other, she starts to cave to his attention and the attraction that sizzles. But right when their relationship kicks off, Alex is revealed as a wolf shifter and it terrifies Lacey to the point where she doesn't know if she can move foward with Alex. But Alex is determined to be patient and wait for Lacey to choose him. But when her sister's life is brought into the game of their enemy, they will have to work together to keep her alive...

My Outlook
There were many elements to this story that I just found intriguing. We have the mystery of dogs being forced into death matches, so there is animal abuse so fair warning on this before reading this book. I really enjoyed the way the author had handled this aspect. We then see the SWAT team working on bring down this drug that is popping up and there is some political connection to it as well. I am very intrigued by the chief of police though, I have a feeling he is corrupt though and very fascinated to see where the series will take that role of his. I found the romance itself to be quite fascinating. I adored how endearing their relationship is and how well these two hit it off, but I will be honest I was disappointed in our fair maiden of a heroine. One she is super reckless, and doesn't take accountability for it at all. Then when its revealed who Alex is, she treats him so badly, like he is this evil monster. I just really struggled with her reaction and how she treats him, and quite frankly, he let her off WAY too easy.

Overall View
Wolf Unleashed is a powder keg of a romance, its thrilling to keep you on the edge and will keep your mind fascinated working through the mystery that develops....HIGHLY INTENSE OF A READ!

The pendulum has swung back to too explicit sex, again. The story is also less interesting because the relationship part has become somewhat formulaic (insta-love. Oh no, werewolf! Unhappy separation. Insta-love prevails), and the crime part is...weird and unlikely. Dogfighting, drugs, black market organs, kidnapped girls in a very convenient tangle - and the whole thing would have been over with no crisis (beyond the relationship) if they had ever discussed what the heck she thought she was doing in that junkyard. The thing that actually surprises me the most is that in all that ranting she did she never once (apparently) mentioned any names, or if she did Alex wasn't listening. Lots of missed links/opportunities here - and that's authorial fiat rather than organic development. I'm still reading, but maybe I'll take a break from the series for a bit. ( )

fast read ( )

I didn't particularly care for this book, which was disappointing because I have liked the other books in the series. While I loved Alex, I hated Lacey. She sent too many mixed messages and she wasn't very forthcoming with herself. ( )

Wolf Unleashed by Paige Tyler

Non stop action as the next werewolf on the SWAT team finds The One for him while dodging bullets and falling in love. It's a bit mad-cap, a bit humorous, and a bit dreamy with all those hot and buff men fall in love.

Fast, fun, flirty and fabulously entertaining.
Perfect escapism. ( )
