 Nothing starts a new year off right quite like a debut werewolf series, and Paige Tyler brings it with SWAT. There are sixteen alpha males to choose from, so you're sure to find at least one to drool over, and first in line is their smexy leader, Gage Dixon. HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF was light on shifter lore, but heavy on scorching romps which makes it the perfect read for Paranormal Romance groupies looking for a bit of danger, and a whole lot of steam. The story was predictable, and insta-love goes hand-in-hand with this genre, so if you're expecting something other than entertaining fluff you should probably keep walking, however if quality PNR is your kryptonite then this is where it's at. 
 This is essentially Romantic Suspense with a supernatural slant, and I loved how Tyler combined the two! The very notion that a team of smokin' hot werewolf officers are protecting the citizens of Dallas was enough to make me one-click this title. There's just something about a man in uniform that lights my fire, and if you throw in fur I'm done for. The plot wasn't that difficult to figure out, but still interesting enough to keep me turning the pages at a quick pace. SWAT kills a mob boss' son during a hostage situation, the king pin is now out for blood, and all the while Mackenzie Stone is trying to prove that the city's golden boys aren't as clean as they appear to be. I'll leave it to you to fill-in the rest. 
 I was let down by the were aspects of this story line; other than knowing from page one that the characters are no ordinary cops, the author doesn't dig any further into that aspect until much later, and even then very sparingly. I liked that the mates lingo was replaced by The One, that their first change is brought on by a high-stress, life-threatening situation instead of the usual puberty / bite / full moon, and that the author focused on scent. However, other than those three elements, plus a brief mention of DNA and babies, that's pretty much all of the werewolf mythology that this novel had to offer. Do they HAVE to change? Are there females? I could have done with one less sex scene, and more deets. 
 The attraction between Mac & Gage was immediate, but their love was not; granted the latter did happen in under a week which is to be expected whenever a HEA occurs in one installment. They had great chemistry, and their sex marathons will make you wish that you had a member of the Special Wolf Team Alpha at your beck and call. I had to roll my eyes when Stone exposed Dixon's secret, and did exactly what you'd expect a journalist to do--pick the story over the man--only to later regret her decision, and crawl back begging forgiveness. Of course Gage accepts her apology, she joins the Pack, and everything is hunky-dory after that. I was just hoping for a little twist. Still, their tale was a cute one. 
 A seductive book filled with peril and romance; HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF was yummilicious!
