Wolf Trouble is book two in the SWAT: Special Wolf Alpha Team by Paige Tyler and Narrated by Abby Craden. Theirs danger, intrigue, and scorching moments.
I enjoyed this one a little better then book one. The heroine in book one is a reporter and I dislike reporters, but this time we get a female werewolf, the first the SWAT guys have found and seen.
Khaki didn’t get on my nervous, but I do have to say Khaki!! Really? I get unusual names, but every time I read this name I thought about pants. Also not one character mentioned or commented on her name. That’s unusual. Besides the usual name Khaki owns up to her mistakes, she’s funny, smart, independent, and resourceful.
Xander doesn’t believe in love or fate and is thrown by his attraction to Khaki. He’s close to his pack, teammates, and isn’t too thrilled to have a female on his team. Once he meets the new female his protective instincts go on high alert and he has to battle them and his attraction.
The world building was much stronger in this story. Book one lacked in that area, but her the world comes to life.
I liked meeting and diving more into the pack. We didn’t get much in the first book, but here we get to see more of the pack dynamics and it was great. I liked the interactions and felt they where believable. Theirs this deep camaraderie and real respect.
The sexual tension between Xander and Khaki is scorching. I like that they took some time to get to know each other and see where their feelings take them. Neither realizes what is going on and that leads to some funny scenes.
One thing that I noticed and this would have taking away a lot of the drama. Is that when a new wolf comes into the pack they should sit them down, whether male or female, and explain what the pack knows about werewolves, instead of leaving them and the team open for trouble. If this is done; then it would take away the confusion and also help the pack find out what the new wolf knows about being a werewolf. It felt like something the pack Alpha should do, but he didn't do this.
One other thing that was a bit disappointing was Khaki's ex-boyfriend. I was expecting more evil and more drama from this plot line, but he had no depth and his evil was eh! The ending was a bit too neat and tidy as well.
Narration: Abby Craden did a great job. I enjoyed the female voice, but some of the male voice didn't sound so good. I'm glad a listened. I don't think things would have moved along as fast for me if I read. The audio brought the action, learning process, and romance alive.
All and all I enjoyed Wolf Trouble and I plan to continue the series in audio.
Rated: 3.5 Stars
Narration: 4 Stars

Terrific! This is so much fun. First, I love the idea of a werewolf SWAT team. Second, and third, and oh my goodness 16 hunky alpha males. This book is full of surprises. We discover not only are there female werewolves we get to meet one and learn as she does what shifting feels like and what other gifts are out there. I love Khaki (well everything but her name). She has a joie de vivre that makes you just want to get to know her. She lets nothing get her down. Not even when she overhears her new supervisor Xander telling the boss he doesn’t want her on his squad. What he means is that he wants her. Can these two deny their mutual attraction and work together? We have fun watching them try.

I did like this book more than the first one. I think it is because the story is a little bit more exciting with the stalker and forbidden attraction and what not. But I would have liked to see/feel more from Khaki since she is a new wolf. Only three months in and I feel she took way to easy on the whole situation. At least one freak out would have made it a little more believable.

This was recommended to me on the sidebar of goodreads and I decided to give it a try and I am glad I did, it was such a pleasant surprise. The premise was unique, and it was a lot of fun and quick read. I like that it combines fantasy and romantic suspense elements. I want to read Becker and Cooper's stories next.

I really liked Khaki, she has a great head on her shoulders and she has no problem jumping into the line of fire to help someone out. She comes to Dallas SWAT as the only female team member and she holds her own against all of our favorite alpha wolfshifters. As for Xander, why are alpha males so darn stubborn? Uggh they drive me nuts, but they are so yummy in the long run. He, just like Mac in book 1, fights the pheromones and takes forever to realize that Khaki is "the one". Of course, they both fight the attraction until they have no choice but to jump each others bones.
You can't help but love the build up to and the romance of the main characters Khaki and Xander, but I have to say that reading about ALL the wolfshifters on the SWAT team is my favorite part of this series. I love getting to know them and reading their interactions. I absolutely loved the way they all treated Khaki and made her feel at home as well as them having each other's backs no matter the circumstances.
I had a great time reading WOLF TROUBLE. It had plenty of action, lots of yummy guys to think about, a great love match and plenty of danger to go around. Book 3, In the Company of Wolves, is set to release December 1, 2015 and will feature Eric and new comer Jayna.
