After a long game of cat-and-mouse
Feline shifter Dreya Clark picks the wrong penthouse to rob and ends up arrested by sexy detective Braden Hayes. But Braden isn’t the only one who’s been watching the cat burglar. Agents from the Department of Covert Operations swoop in to offer her a deal. If she wants to stay out of jail, she’ll have to work with them—and pair up with the hot cop. Great.
Danger throws this unlikely pair together
Braden isn’t thrilled about the DCO meddling in his investigation. He’s been chasing Dreya for years. Thrown together on a dangerous covert mission, fur flies and temperatures flare. But when danger closes in on them, their game of cat and mouse turns deadly-serious, and they’ll have to rely on each other to make it out alive.
Summary
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.
Plot and Story Line
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.
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. 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.
The Cover
I really love the goldish yellow tones here, and yeah our male model is super ripped, I am so not going to complain.
Overall View
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!!
I have not read a book by this author! Shame on me. I do love me some romantic suspense, but I see that this is also a paranormal romance, so double win! I need to check out this series. 🙂
I’m a fan of paranormals/shifter stories anyway but I do love Paige Tyler’s writing. I need to catch up on this series. This one sounds super fun–aside from the surprise at the ending. 😉
I’ve heard such fantastic things about this series. But I tried reading one once, and it just didn’t work for me. The dialogue felt unnatural. HOWEVER, I’m so glad that you enjoyed this. Reading a good book is always the best.
Love the sound of this one. I don’t read my shifter stories but I am open to them.
They both sound really awesome. Love she’s got some feline things happening 😀 I need to start this series for sure. Love her SWAT one 🙂
I’ve been thinking of checking out Paige Taylor! Looks like this series is a great mix of genres that I love! Great review!
I so love this author’s two PNR series. I can’t believe how this book ended. It will be very interesting to see what happens next in the series. Great review.
