I have enjoyed all the books in the SWAT series especially this one. Jayden is an alpha werewolf who is part of a pack of other alphas who work hard to keep the streets safe as police officers. Not only do they have to fight criminals but there are "hunters" out there who want to kill them. Jayden meets Selena, his future mate, before she becomes a werewolf after she experiences a traumatic event. It's a lot to deal with and there are setbacks along the way but true love prevails in this exciting paranormal romance.

Strap yourself in for a fact paced read filled with action, adventure and romance. Werewolf SWAT Officer Jayden Brooks is smoking hot! Selena Rosa teaches at a high school in a bad part of town. She is caring and committed to her students. The gangs have stolen her family she will be damned if she gives up on her students. This inevitably leads to Selena and Jayden meeting and it is pure adrenaline after that. A terrific addition to the series.

Since it was almost a year since Paige Tyler had released a new SWAT book, I was nearly starving after Wolf Hunger. But finally, yay, Wolf Rising came on Netgalley. After Max, we now follow Jayden Brooks, who rescues high school teacher Selena from a shoot out at her school.
After the rescue, he can't get Selena and her scent out of his mind. But strangely, he notices her scent is changing... She can't be The One, now can she? Of course, Max, Landon and all the other hunky guys offer Brooks a lot of advice (NOT) and they finally get to tease Brooks.
Selena doesn't understands what is happening to her. After she nearly got shot at her high school by on of her students, she feels off. She is angry and she has black outs. Fortunately officer Brooks is sticking around to help her. And he seems to understand what she is going through.
When Selena shows signs of becoming a werewolf, Gage orders Brooks to stay close to Selena and to help her during her change. What nobody realizes however, is that Selena is changing into an omega werewolf: a violent and unstable werewolf. With the attraction brewing between Brooks and Selena: is Brooks able to help Selena contain her violent traits? Or does she has to be put down as a rabbit dog? Find out for yourself in yet another hot part of the SWAT series. Five out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

A dramatic, werewolf shifter romance. Selena was the type of female lead character that I prefer. No wimpy, cowering female in this story, she kicks ass, even when she doesn't know how she's able to do so. I haven't read this whole series, but I will be doing so now.
.

I just absolutely loved this book, it was full of suspense, romance and action. Jayden and Selena were just made for one another. I loved the chemistry between them. Selena was so strong and independent and Jayden was sexy, strong, and such an alpha male. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Wolf Rising, by Paige Tyler is a captivating paranormal suspense romance and part of the entertaining SWAT: Special Wolf Alpha Team book series.

Due to a tragic incident on the job, Jayden Brooks almost died, yet he became a werewolf instead. Now, he's living in Texas and working as a SWAT officer, along with fellow werewolf shifters and pack mates.

Along with the SWAT team, Jayden rescues a teacher and her students during a hostage situation, due to a former student threatening the class with a gun. Selena Rosa is a high school teacher striving to save her students from gang life, despite this recent horrifying situation. Despite the drama surrounding their first meeting, Jayden and Selena are attracted to each other. As the story unfolds, they are dealing with dangerous situations, while figuring out their new relationship and a few surprises along the way.

Since it's the eighth book in the SWAT: Special Wolf Alpha Team series, it's recommended to start with the first book to meet all the secondary characters. However, each book is a standalone, so it's not necessary to read the books in order.

Wolf Rising is geared towards those who enjoy reading paranormal action-suspense romances, particularly stories involving military alpha werewolves.


Note: I received this book from NetGalley, which is a program designed for bloggers to write book reviews in exchange for books, yet the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Strong romantic suspense! Boy did that alpha know how to give his girl exactly what she needed to face life altering circumstances, which made this read even more sweet and endearing. Wolf Rising seemed to carry multiple plot directions creating a transitioning storyline but Tyler still hooked us into her tale, the couple and the suspense to come.

I loved this book. From the beginning when a werewolf was created to the end that leads to investigations in the future.... More books to come? Hope so!
If you've read the series then this addition will clarify and explain some traits of the team. If you haven't read any of the others this will give you some good information. But, seriously, you should read the others.

Action and attraction.

What I love about paranormal romance is the strong bonding between mates. Paige Tyler delivers that powerful love along with some very hot, sensual sex scenes.

Along with the smoking hot sex comes lots of action. There’s always trouble in the neighborhood with those SWAT boys. Paige put together a great suspenseful story about gangs, drugs and hunters.

What I loved about how this story was put together was the time invested in Jayden and Selena getting to know each other. There may have been the mate insta-love factor, but it didn’t take away the connection between Jayden and Selena.

The only con was the page fillers. A little bit of repetitiveness that I could have done without.

All in all, it was a fantastic suspense, romance story. A Paige turner that I couldn’t put down!

In this episode of the SWAT series, Officer Jayden Brooks finds The One when he rescues a teacher from a gangbanger who has entered her classroom to recruit one of her students for the gang. Selena Rosa has grown up around gangs. They cost her her parents and older brother. There is no way she's going to let them claim one of her students.

Selena has some weird effects after she's rescued. Her blood pressure is soaring as is her heartbeat. She's running a fever. However, she also feels the best she's ever felt in her life. After she gets out of the hospital, she wants to find Jayden and thank him.

Jayden is intrigued by Selena but couldn't immediately follow up because the SWAT team is busy with a police chief who is interested in photo ops that will help his campaign for mayor, a gang of hunters who has come to town and threatened a number of members of the team, a new gang leader who is consolidating all the local gangs, and a new drug in energy drinks that is causing users to OD.

What Selena doesn't know, and what Jayden doesn't know how to tell her, is that the trauma related to her classroom invasion has triggered her genetic change to werewolf. What neither understands is why the change is happening so fast. It usually takes two or three weeks before changes are visible. Selena's is taking only three days.

Selena and Jayden's romance is a whirlwind. There immediate attraction leads to lots of spicy love scenes. But their romance is almost derailed by Selena's changing since she is confused and panicking about what is happening to her.

Their romance deepens as the multiple story lines converge. This was a fast-paced, sexy romantic suspense novel that will be devoured by those who have been reading the series. New readers can pop in here too because, while some background would be nice, the story is tightly focused on Jayden and Selena's relationship.

Wolf Rising by Paige Tyler is the next installment of her Swat books. They are a team of werewolves who are police officers on a swat team. Jayden doesn’t believe there is only one person know as the one for a werewolf till he saves Selena. When Jayden is called to save a teacher from a gangbanger he is mesmerized by Selena. Who is turning into a werewolf herself who can’t understand what’s going on in her life. She’s attracted to the Police officer who save her. Jayden can’t help his feelings and knows Selena is the one. Great addition to the series! Action, adventure, romance. Can’t wait for more from this great author!

Jayden Brooks is a member of the Dallas SWAT team/werewolf pack. He saves the life of teacher Selena Rosa during a gang-related school shooting. Even though Selena is tough, the trauma is enough to trigger her change into a werewolf--a special kind of werewolf. And she happens to be The One for Jayden. They're perfect for each other--until Jayden has to tell Selena that she's turning into a werewolf.

In the meantime, there is a new boss in the gangs who is increasing the distribution of fentanyl.

On top of it all, Chief Curtis is playing politics.

Can Jayden and Selena navigate the twists and turns of events while Selena learns to deal with her werewolf side?
***
Selena thinks Jayden is the perfect guy, and he pretty much is. He's sexy, protective, humorous, and romantic. He's easy to fall in love with. Selena is a tough heroine even before she becomes a werewolf. Afterwards, she's a force to be reckoned with.

This is a fast-paced romantic suspense that will have you turning the pages well into the night.

This was a great read! The story had lots of action as well as a very hot and intense love story. All in all it was well balanced and engaging to read!

Wolf Rising by Paige Tyler is the 8th book in her wonderful SWAT (Special Wolf Alpha Team) series. I love this series, as Tyler always gives us exciting stories that are pulse pounding action, with a great couple, and the hot men (werewolves) that make up the alpha swat team. Wolf Rising was another wonderful romance suspense that Tyler does so well.

Jayden Brooks, our hero, is sent with some of his teammates to a hostage situation at the local high school, where a gang member is threatening a student, as well as the teacher. He arrives just in time to rescue them, and senses something different about the teacher.

Selena Rosa, our heroine, has stood up to gangs all her life, having lost her brother to one of them years before. Selena refused to back down to the gang member, and when Jayden rescues her, she thinks he is badly hurt. When she later goes to visit him at the Swat headquarters, she finds it strange that he was not hurt, since she saw blood, but accepts his explanation and soon a friendship starts.

We watch Selena put herself in danger when the student who she helped save, is again in the middle of a gang attack. Selena loses control, and finds herself becoming strongly violent to scare off the gang. She does not understand what has come over her. Jayden can smell Selena’s scent and knows she is going through a change to become a werewolf. After talking to his c- workers, it seems the traumatizing event at the school triggered the change in Selena. How was he going to explain what is happening to her?

When their relationship becomes sexual, Selena panics when she sees that she bit Jayden and he is forced to tell her the truth, which she does not accept. Jayden also sees how Selena is very strong, and out of control at times, which hints that she is an Omega (a more violent wolf). In a short time, Selena will go to Jayden for help, and meet the rest of his teammates, and work with another experienced Omega wolf to learn how to control her urges. It was a nice added feature to learn more about the other types of wolves, such as Omega or Beta.
The story line focuses on the gangs and the drugs they help sell. One is a dangerous and at time lethal drug, and the SWAT team is determined to find the leader of this group creating the drug. The chemistry between Jayden and Selena is hot, and he knows that she is the ‘one’ (his mate). Selena has a nice best friend, Becca, who helps her come to terms with her change. I also love the men on the SWAT team, and how well they get along.

When things get dangerous, all hell will break loose, and Selena is once again in danger from the leader of the gang, someone she never suspected, (whom I did suspect from the start). The last ¼ of the book was very exciting; I was unable to put the book down. Paige Tyler does it again with another intense, intriguing, fun and sexy story, with a fabulous group of secondary characters. I have said this before; Tyler manages to keep the story in the forefront, and still give us a beautiful sexy romance. Wolf Rising is a wonderful addition to this fantastic series that you should be reading.

This is an awesome book! Selena is such a strong, angry woman but she does her best with what life has dealt her. Had to laugh when Conner was "punked" by the cat. Also the "Sweet cheese and crackers" response is one I will have to remember. Such a well written, intense, often funny read. Highly recommend this one.

I liked this one, a big part of that was due to Selena. I loved that in the middle of an area with strong gangs Selena stood strong against them, how she fought for her students to stay out of them, only giving up when they were a lost cause, firmly entrenched in the gangs. That all made the opening of the book at school in Selena's classroom all the more crazy. Selena wasn't about to give up on one of her special kids. The drama brought Selena into contact with Jayden. Their "meeting" was one for the records.

It was interesting how Jayden started to suspect things about Selena, more interesting how Selena reacted to what was going on and being clued in. I was glad that it didn't take too long before Selena calmed down and listened to Jayden, helping her cope with changes in her life.

There was a lot of action at the end. Some of it was easy to guess, who was being the energy drinks, others blindsided me, like who was helping the hunters. The SWAT guys seem to have a better handle on things, hopefully they can finally put the hunters and their issues to rest soon.

Thank you Netgalley and SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca for the chance to read Wolf rising. I have enjoyed reading Paige Tyler's SWAT series and looked forward to reading Jayden's story and his search for The One! This series has changed from the early books and now has a continued story ARC which has increased my interest because it has brought a more conspiracy thread. The main story line is still strong; hot SWAT member discovers his mate; Teacher Selena is saved by Jayden during a hostage situation at her school. The chemistry between Jayden and Selena is Hot; but things don't totally add up right away. Is she the one for Jayden??? Someone is still trying to take down the SWAT team and werewolfs; is there a traitor in their midst? Can't wait for the next book!!!!

A dramatic, werewolf shifter romance, I liked this story :)
.
Jayden is absolutely perfect as the lead male, he certainly ticks all the boxes for me, I think I be in love with him myself lol.
.
Selena was a refreshing change in a female lead character. No wimpy, cowering female in this story, she kicks ass, even when she doesn't know how she's able to do so. I really liked her.
.
More info given about the hunters and several side stories set up that will obviously lead into following books, I'm looking forward to continuing with this series.
.
I liked that Selena had her best friend Becca to talk to about her discovery of shifters and her own change. Too often in pnr books characters are on their own or with strangers, so I liked the support aspect in this book.
.
Totally creeped out by Ernesto, what a sleazy piece of work he turned out to be. That betrayal is heartbreaking, I just wish Selena had been allowed to take her revenge for all he'd done and gotten her closure.
.
My type of writing style by this author, intriguing characters, intense, dramatic story, bookfeels and the all important hot romance, this is definitely a book I'd recommend to fans of paranormal romance.
.
I received this arc ebook in exchange for an honest review.

Although i had some difficulty getting into this book at first, I found myself soon getting caught up in the love story. This book is another winner in the collection! Jayden and Selena are a smoking hot couple with real chemistry. The overarching story continues and more pieces are added to the puzzle. Supporting characters are three dimensional as well.
I dont recommend this to be read as a stand alone. So much background info in previous books.

Jayden Brooks the largest and possible toughest of the SWAT (Special Wolf Alpha Team) finally meets his match in a little spitfire school teacher that he rescues from a school shooting. Selena Rosa is doing her best to keep her students away from the gangs that control her school area and when she is confronted by a group of them how does she manage to destroy them. Jayden knows that she is his mate her scent tells him that but what else is going on with her. When he finally realises she is fact turning wolf and even worse she is a omega he must teach her how to control herself before she turns completely rogue with the help of a fellow team mate will he be ble to keep her sane and have a future with her.

I was given a copy of this book but this is true and honest review
