PRIMAL LAW

Alpha Pack #1

Founded by a group of former Navy SEALS, the Alpha Pack is a top-secret team of wolf shifters with Psy powers tasked with eliminating the most dangerous predators in the world. But the gift of their abilities comes at a price…

After a massacre decimates half his team and leaves him crippled, Jaxon Law must relearn how to fight—and battle the anger and guilt threatening to overwhelm him. But when he rescues a beautiful woman who reawakens his primal instincts, Jax is unprepared for the dangers that lie ahead.

On the run from her employer, brilliant lab assistant Kira Locke has evidence that leads the Alpha Pack on a hunt for someone targeting human civilians with Psy abilities. And as Jax and Kira circle both the killer and each other, Jax will have to decide if the deep connection he feels with Kira is worth breaking the ultimate shifter rule—because bonding with Kira means putting his abilities at risk, and they might be the only tools he has to keep his mate alive…

A group of former Navy SEALS, the Alpha Pack is a top secret team of wolf shifters with Psy powers combating the greatest dangers in the world. And when the battle gets personal, their wild side is unleashed….

Ryon Hunter sees dead people—spirits that beg him for help in ways he can’t understand. He’d do anything to end the torment, until a beautiful spirit appears to him with a plea he can’t ignore: Help me…I’m alive. The woman is wildlife biologist Daria Bradford, mortally wounded after encountering a white wolf, calling to Ryon through a rare Psy gift.

When Ryon locates Daria in the Shoshone National Park, it is almost too late, but nursing her back to health at the Alpha Pack compound brings a new complication—Daria is his destined mate, and Ryon is afraid of what will happen when she discovers what he is, and what he had to do to save her life. But the biggest threat of all is still loose in the forest, leaving a merciless trail of death behind it. The Alpha Pack goes on the hunt for the mysterious white wolf, determined to stop the murderous rogue… only to find that the most lethal creature of all is the one they can’t see coming…

COLE'S REDEMPTION

Alpha Pack, #5

Coming:  March 4, 2014

Once, they were Navy SEALS. Now they are the Alpha Pack: a top secret team of wolf shifters with Psy powers who take on the darkest dangers on Earth. But sometimes the greatest danger lies within their own hearts....

Healer and black wolf shifter Zander Cole has survived horrors that would have broken a weaker man. But when a battle leaves him deaf and his powers dimmed, Zan is devastated. Believing himself to be a burden to his team, he sees only one option: leave the Pack forever.

White wolf shifter Selene Westfall knows pain—she is certain her father was responsible for her mother’s death. And she lives to exact revenge. So when she is challenged by a savage black wolf, she puts up a vicious fight—only to become the black wolf’s Bondmate as a result of his bite.

Two damaged souls—one filled with hatred and one who’s lost his reason for living—are forced together as they come to terms with their unlikely, turbulent bond. A love neither expected may be all that stands between them and a killer trying desperately to keep the past dead and buried....

J.D. Tyler Bio

J.D. Tyler is an award-winning, multi-published author who writes for New American Library under three pseudonyms. Whether this is due to an overdose of ambition or a multiple personality affliction, she’ll never tell.

J.D. writes dark, sexy paranormal romance and has a huge thing for shifters, vampires, the Fae, and just about everything else that goes bump and grind in the night. She can’t get enough of those dangerous supernatural heroes, and the fun of creating her own was just too much temptation to resist… so she didn’t. J.D. doesn’t do self-denial.

When she isn’t writing, J.D.’s idea of a good time certainly isn’t cleaning house (sniff), bungee jumping (not in this lifetime, or the next), or camping (her idea of “roughing it” is a slow bellboy). She enjoys reading, being pampered like the diva she is, and spending time with her awesome family. She lives in Texas with her two teenagers.

BOOK REVIEW ~ BLACK MOON BY J.D. TYLER

Title: Black Moon (Alpha Pack, Book Three)

Author: JD Tyler

Release Date: December 4, 2012

Reviewer bought own eBook copy for review 

Ever since he saved Dr. Mackenzie Grant’s life, panther shifter and sorcerer Kalen Black has had trouble keeping the beautiful doctor out of his thoughts, and his heart. The brush with death awakened an intense passion between them—one that for the first time had the notorious loner letting down his guard.

With the Alpha Pack battling an evil Fae who is slowly gaining control over Kalen’s mind, Kalen can no longer trust his own actions, and he breaks off his affair with Mackenzie in order to keep her safe. But when Mackenzie learns that she is carrying Kalen’s child, no amount of danger will keep her away from the man she loves. To protect his mate and unborn child, Kalen will have to battle a terrible evil, unleash the full fury of his power, and risk destroying them all…

JD Tyler also writes under the name Jo Davis, which is how I first discovered this talented author. I fell in love with her contemporary romance series, The Firefighters of Station Five. 

The Alpha Pack series is about the paranormal world where military soldiers  were turned into shifters and now fight to protect humans from rogues--paranormal creatures that prey on innocent victims. 

Kalen Black has always felt alone and different from his brothers-in-arms. He has had a horrific past where he was treated as an outcast, sold his body for survival, and didn't have the love of family to embrace him. The only one who truly cared about Kalen had been his grandmother. She gave him a pendent to protect him from the darkness and the evil that would one day try to control him. It was foretold to him that he would grow to become a powerful sorcerer and would be tempted by the darkside of magic. The pendent he wore must never be removed and it would help protect him. 

Now, as a member of the Alpha Pack, Kalen still feels the claws of his past sinking deeper. And when Malik, the Unseelie King, sets his sights on Kalen, the fate of all mankind is threatened and in great danger.

Kalen struggles with the darkness within him and thirsts for the blood that Malik delivers. Malik's evil words cause Kalen to doubt the loyalty of his friends and desire a more sinister life. The only thing that frees him from the possible malevolence of Malik's plans is the ray of light that his mate, Dr. Mackenzie can give him. 

In the entire story, we watch as Kalen faces this darkness and see him fall prey to Malik's trickery. And we experience the horrible past and what Kalen has suffered through the years. We also find out the relationship that Blue, the Seelie Prince, has to Kalen and the connection of Malik to both of them. Secrets are spilled just as much as the blood of the Sluagh. 

At the climax, we get the showdown of all showdowns--and Kalen has the power to either fight and destroy Malik or turn against his brothers. 

All in all, Black Moon is a great addition to this series, but it was not my favorite. After reading many of Tyler's books, I was a little disappointed with the smexin' between Mac and Kalen. Tyler is usually spot on with her descriptions and emotions, but I found the dialogue during these scenes inadequate and lacking the usual *UMPH* that Tyler is great for.  

But I am still looking forward to the next book in the series, Hunter's Heart.
