There stories just keep getting better. This story focus's on Dreya a thief and feline shifter and Braden the burglary cop who has been trying to pin her for a crime for a while. The characters were great, Dreya was a strong, confident heroine and Braden is an loyal, alpha who will make for an incredible partner.
There was great chemistry between the characters, interactions with previous characters and advancement of the overall storyline. With the way the story ended I sure hope the next book is scheduled to be released soon.
The writing was a high quality, with a well structured story that was fast paced and kept you wanting to read more. Another winner from Paige Tyler

WOW! This book is a fast paced whirlwind that will suck you in and not let you go even after the last page has been turned.
The crook and the cop. We first met Dreya and Braden in HER ROGUE ALPHA. Dreya had to hide out for a bit but now she is back and up to her old tricks. Cop Braden Hayes hoped that she had given up her risky behavior after losing her mentor and almost getting killed herself but here she is doing an impossible mission type burglary and he is going to arrest her this time. Dreya is scared, for the first time she has been righteously caught red handed by the hot cop. They are both pissed off and confused when the DCO claims her. Dreya and Braden are both in for a world of surprises not the least of which is falling for each other.
This story opens up a whole new arc for the X-Ops series and I for one can’t wait to see where the author takes us. Strap in for a hell of a ride.

We meet Dreya, the master thief, in a previous book. She's quite impressive - able to get into just about anywhere using a mix of her incredible intelligence and her shifter abilities. But she may have taken a mis-step and landed herself in jail. Braden, a police detective, has been tracking her and finally catches to her.
This one seemed to have a lot of downtime. When the DCO sweeps in and offers to keep Dreya out of jail, she goes into some intensive training and testing. While I thought it was interesting to see their set-up and recruiting/training methods - it never seemed to end. I wanted more in the mission and with Dreya and Braden out in the field. The time they did spend in the field, seemed a little forced and overdone.
I did get to see some of my favorite characters from series, and I do feel like the series storyline was moved forward - but just a bit. I've gotten used to some seriously action-packed stories and this one just let down my expectation a little in that regard. I highly recommend reading this series in order. While each book has a stand-alone romance, there is a lot going on in the X-Ops world that really builds from one book to the next.

Dreya Clark, while out on a run of theft from the high end rich, she is caught red handed by none other than the one man that somehow keeps tracking her, Braden Hayes. Braden is a police detective, and even though he is slightly amused by her antics, he also feels duty bound to arrest her since he has caught her in the act and has evidence of it, evidence that could prove that she is slightly more than human. But then agents from the DCO come to Dreya and offer her an opportunity to work with them, instead of going to jail. Dreaya knows she has little choice, and ends up partnered with Braden in the end. They discover that they balance each other completely and Braden ends up being the only partner that Dreya can click with, and as they investigate the making of hybrids from their nemesis.
Paige Tyler steps up the series with Her True Match and man I don't think I will ever get enough of this author or the way she writes these books. And I will admit at first I wasn't sure if I would like it like the other books, but I did love it alot more than I thought that I would. The story itself is pretty exciting in many moments. At the beginning we have our heroine, who has been a thief for ten years. She has feline talents, she can climb walls and jump long distances. Basically, our heroine feels torn between two entities. It was interesting to see how her character handled everything. I did love our hero Braden. Braden was such a solid hero, he plays by the rules, but we see how he learns how to go by his gut feelings and react according to the circumstances. We also get a side plot with Ivy and Landon and Trevor are working to uncover the truth about some hybrid experiments at a mental facility. But these two plots one with Braden and Dreya and our trio actually connect in the end. I think what I loved most was seeing how well Braden and Dreya end up working together.
Braden let the guy collapse to the floor, then took the weapon from his limp hand and dropped it in the toilet.
They are so well intuned to each other, it is brilliant the way they can fight together and Tyler really steps up the series with the end here. I am not going to lie, I wasn't too pleased with the cliffhanger the author gives us, a bit of a shock with what happens to one of my favorite side characters but we will see how Tyler progresses the series from here.
I really love the goldish yellow tones here, and yeah our male model is super ripped, I am so not going to complain.
In Her True Match, we have a masterful story teller that brings the passion and chilling excitement that this author brings to the table....edge of your seat adventure will lots of twists along the way that is guaranteed to stimulate the sense!!

Paige Tyler steps up the series with Her True Match and man I don't think I will ever get enough of this author or the way she writes these books. And I will admit at first I wasn't sure if I would like it like the other books, but I did love it alot more than I thought that I would. The story itself is pretty exciting in many moments.

But these two plots one with Braden and Dreya and our trio actually connect in the end. I think what I loved most was seeing how well Braden and Dreya end up working together.
Braden let the guy collapse to the floor, then took the weapon from his limp hand and dropped it in the toilet.
He turned to find Dreya looking at him with a shocked look on her face.
"What?" he asked.
"You came to get me," she said.
"I'm getting a feeling that is going to be my role in this partnership," he said, grabbing her hand and heading for the door.
"You steal things and I come get your sexy ass out of trouble."
He glanced at her to see her grinning.
"You think I have a sexy ass?"
Braden stifled a groan. Being her partner was going to kill him - or drive him nuts. Tommy was probably laughing so hard, he was surprised he didn't hear the sound coming all the way down from heaven.
They are so well intuned to each other, it is brilliant the way they can fight together and Tyler really steps up the series with the end here.

Her True Match is another great installation in Paige Tyler’s X-Ops series. I truly love this series with it’s mix of spy and black ops type missions entangled with a paranormal shifter world that is different from many of the shifters that we typically read about. In this world, shifters haven’t come out to the majority of humans. They also don’t shift entirely into their animal forms like in most shifter stories. They grow fangs and claws and their eyes will change. They have enhanced senses and some of the personality traits of their other shifter form (like cat shifters that feel the need to get out and hunt, even isn’t the same kind of hunting that a cat would do).
In this story, we follow Dreya. She’s a cat shifter and a cat burgler. We met her in the previous book, Her Rogue Alpha, when she stole something very important from a very evil man. She fled the country before he had her killed, but not before others will killed looking for her. She’s now come back to DC and is back in the thieving game. That’s when Detective Braden Hayes actually catches her in the act of stealing something from a very high, hard to access apartment building. He also witnesses some feats that shouldn’t be possible for a human. DCO (Department of Covert Affairs) bails her out, but Detective Hayes won’t let it go and follows them when she leaves.
So there’s this storyline of Hayes and Dreya working together to join DCO as a team. They also come together romantically. Hayes has to come to terms with the fact that Dreya isn’t human. He does take to that very well. They go a few missions together before officially signing on.
There’s also another storyline that is following Ivy and Landon and their quest to bring down the hybrid research centers. This time, they bring along a coyote shifter named Trevor. Trevor gets himself committed into a mental hospital where the lab is at. He works to gain access to the ward with the hybrids. While in the hospital, he meets a young girl. She’s worried about her friend who was taken into this ward where the hybrid labs are at.
This is another great addition to this series. With the two storylines going, there is no shortage of action. It also makes for a great overall story arc for the series. I would recommend starting this series at the beginning because of this series story arc. The hybrid search is a great storyline, but it is also a bit repetitive. Ivy and Landon find a lab, infiltrate the lab, kill or rescue shifters or hybrids, doctors get away, rinse and repeat. It’s a fun story, but we’ve seen similar scenarios in several books now.
I do love this series, even if there are a few things that are repetitive. The romance isn’t as strong as some PNR. That isn’t an issue for me, but for people looking for more of the romance and less of the suspense, this story is much stronger on the suspense side of things. I love suspense and lots of action, so that works great for me. I also want to say that the ending of this story changes a lot of things. It will be very interesting to see where Ms. Tyler takes the story from here, because it will not be following the same path that it’s been on. That ending was amazing.

Trevor almost followed after the woman when she turned and walked away so he could ask her if it was legal to work in a mental health facility if you hadn’t seen One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. He decided not to bother. Being snarky lost all its appeal if you had to explain it.
When she found one she like—a gray shirt with the word Property of the Metro PD across the front—she laughed. A thief wearing a shirt like this should be in the dictionary somewhere under the definition of irony.
