review 1: OMG, it's been way too long since I've read a good, classic-style paranormal romance. I've had the audio version of Primal Law on my iPod for months now, and after I finished the book prior to it, and was scrolling through my choices, this book really stood out. All of a sudden, I absolutely HAD to listen to it. Decision made. In Primal Law, we are introduced to the Alpha Pack, a group of shifters that used to be Navy SEALS. Each member of the team has an extra special ability outside of the fact that they can shift into wolves. These abilities come in handy when on missions - or when trying to save a damsel in distress, as Jaxon Law does in Las Vegas one night. He is inexplicably drawn to the woman he saves - Kira. In between trying to get a handle on these new feelings f... moreor her, he and his team are compelled to learn more about Kira's former employer and the nasty human experiments they are conducting. This book was exactly what I needed. Who doesn't love a good book about a bunch of hunky shifters, right? The Alpha Pack was the best part about Primal Law, hands down. I was thrilled when I thought it was just five or six guys who can change into massive wolves. But, J.D. Tyler surprised me by adding extra powers on top of that. Like, one of the guys can call up fire with his hands. Another can see glimpses of the future. And Jaxon can even rewind time. I loved this unique twist on your run-of-the-mill werewolves. Did I mention that the shifters aren't the only supernatural creatures in this world? Oh no. There are lots them in Primal Law, and I love that even the characters in the story don't know all about them or what all is out there in the world. It's like, they are discovering these races along with the reader, so that was pretty cool. We became most familiar with a fae prince, a gremlin and a sorcerer. And, the way that they were all introduced to the storyline was creative and fit in with the rest of the story. Kira was the token human in the story. She's ballsy and smart and pretty much fearless. She has a very tender heart too, which causes Jax a lot of stress since she's always putting herself in danger to help someone else. I also liked that Kira questioned everything and didn't accept it at face value just because someone told her to. Jax is the extra broody member of the Alpha Pack. He has a lot on his conscience. A mission gone bad weighs on him still, six months after the fact. He feels like it was his fault, and to make matters worse, he still sports an injury that sometimes hampers his ability to walk or run. But, when he meets Kira, everything changes. He fights it - I mean, he's a virile, independent man. He wasn't prepared to be shackled with a mate. But, once he gives in to it, he changes, at least toward Kira. One of my favorite parts of the books about shifters is their uber protective nature when it comes to their mates. It's SO swoon-worthy. Jax was no different. I loved how grumbly he got when other males got too touchy feely with Kira. I loved how he tried to keep her from charging into danger, and how on alert he was when he couldn't convince her to stay home. Jax's and Kira's relationship was sweet and sexy. I liked that Primal Law was a dual POV book, too. Jax's perspective on everything that went on between the two of them was interesting and enlightening. He and Kira were great together. I really liked the audio version. Kirsten Potter was a new narrator to me, and I thought she did a fantastic job. I'll definitely be checking out her other work. Speaking of, things were set up nicely to bring you into the second book in the series. I've already added it to my Audible wishlist. So, the next time I get a hankering for a good shifter book, I'll be ready.
review 2: The Alpha Pack is a group of Navy Seals that were attacked in Afghanistan & changed into Shape Shifters with powers, like Telekinetic, Empathetic, Firestarter, Time Bender & so many other powers! Jax Law has a deeply wounded soul from not being able to save all his Seal team members & also has a weaken leg from the attack. Kira Locke is a lab assist on the run from her evil employer & is saved by a posse of YUMMY HOTNESS! She enters Jax's world & Jax is so in massive LUST for the itsy bitsy human! They have a common enemy, so they join forces to wipe out this evil that not only threatens humans, but the Alpha Pack! Ms. Tyler writes amazing, spicy, wicked & "PULL THE FIRE ALARM" scenes throughout this read! This was great 1st book & it just whetted my appetite for more of this kooky & crazy world! I wanted to read another book from Ms. Tyler's Alpha Pack, but I had another episode of massive BRAIN FARTS & I excited when I found her again! If you love a great paranormal romance read that takes to an endless & limitless book wonders, then this book is for you! I give this book my top score of 5 fingers up & 10 toes for this tale filled with sexy Shape Shifters, unworldly powers, mysterious happenings & scenes that will MELT THE PAINT OFF your walls! less
