3.5 Stars so I round up.
The things I liked:
1.I was digging the hell out of this book in the beginning. The author nailed the military stuff in this book (which is always appreciated. The area, the gear, the terminology, etc- either greatly researched or someone ex military or a spouse- high fives for taking the time.
2.I loved the introduction to both of the MC and the way she established them as their own men initially before they had any sort of interaction with each other.

Five stars!
I really liked this book. I know in some of the reviews, people felt that Josh turned ultra submissive, but I just didn't see it. I was expecting total uke (read: whining and crying) behavior. Not so! He remained brave and courageous, as a trained soldier should be, in every scene where he appeared to be defenseless. Many times he was described through Tuck's eyes as showing no fear. And the fact that he felt secure enough to be submissive without restrictions, only made him stronger...more

Second star is for the good writing (turning a blind eye on the purple prose) ...
A tough 6'2" soldier breaks down sobbing, gets wrapped up in strong, muscled arms and carried back to the cave...several times...
Give me a break!
I detest this kind of werewolf-mate-Disney-D/s. Good thing is a reader`s self defense is so easy...

I liked the idea of this story. and it had its moments. But reading it was like starting out walking across the room all smooth and sexy, and then tripping on the carpet, running into a table, spilling a drink, spinning and falling, crashing through a bead curtain in a doorway and whacking your head on the wall. Spectacular in its own way, but painful. Several times. Until you're just grateful that you made it to the ground.

Joshua “Josh” Tanner is a sergeant in the army and he has seen numerous deployments, first to Iraq and now to Afghanistan. Through all of his tours he has gotten the reputation of being one of the best soldiers around. He has been very lucky in his tours but on his latest mission he is behind enemy lines and injured in the Korengal Valley. Josh isn’t sure if he will make through this latest mission until a mysterious and sexy stranger comes up to him.

From the blurb and the plot, a US Army soldier in Afghanistan who is rescued by a “very special unit” US officer only to fall both of them in the clutches of a monster, I would expected for this novel to be more drama and less comedy. And instead it has a “light” core that, even among the dark/gothic events, is impossible to not notice.
Sergeant Joshua Tanner is for sure in trouble, and when he is rescued by US Military’s Warwolves unit officer Tuck, only to find Tuck is a werewolf, he should be...more

Barely 3 stars. I had several issues with this book. It had so much potential and just fell flat for me. I hate to pick, but here goes...
- Use of acronyms without defining/ explaining what they are
- In the beginning Josh communicated with his guys through hand signals in the dark
- Having one werewolf (actually wolf-man) take out 70-80 Taliban all by himself?
- Use of "lover" as Josh's pet name - seemed cheap, porn-like to me
- I understand having Josh be submissive to Tuck, but I don't necessarily...more

I loved so many elements that were brought together in this debut book of a series that I just had to get it when I read the blurb- werewolves & other paranormals, military, m/m. It was great.
I loved how Kayley made her werewolves the traditional style man-beast kind that were up on two legs (call me a traditionalist). Actually the story begins with Sgt. Josh Tanner out with his team doing re-con and then because of the seriousness of the situation they must call in a strike. Josh is injured...more

The beginning of this was phenomenal. This had such a strong start. The military op, the lingo, the introduction to both Josh and Tuck, all of it was spot on.
You're given the impression of edgy and dangerous world they both live in and then it turns into a typical shifter story with insta-love. About 1/3 way through the story takes a lighter turn with allotta sex and a picturesque waterfall.

I really enjoyed the beginning of this book. The descriptions seemed accurate and the tension and suspense was great. But once the guys got together, it all became this "true mate" angst. I found Josh to be very emotional and crybaby, even though he is this awesome soldier. Not that a soldier can not show emotion, but at the beginning of the book he was remarking that another teammate was showing too much emotion because he was new, not like him.
So what does he do when he sees our werewolf? He c...more

I wasn't really sure what to expect going into this one. I'm still not entirely sure what I think now that I'm finished.
What I liked:
--I liked that we got to meet both Josh and Tuck at the beginning of the book. I felt like both of their characters were established well.
--The writing was good. Descriptions of things were beautiful (or horrific, depending...) and vivid, and I definitely felt drawn into the world.

My {quickie} Review:
Shifters and soldiers....honestly this is a mix I can truly get behind. Add in a little m/m action and it's ALL GOOD.
This was an interesting book. It took a completely unique twist on Shifters (i.e. their amazing strength against humans in battle- hint: humans don't stand a chance). There was also some other really ferocious supernatural creatures. It's setting up to be a really good series with hints at what is to come in book #2. Oh, and you will not believe the twist on g...more

I really wanted to like this book, after reading the synopsis it ticked so many boxes. I really hate being negative about books because an author will pour themselves and all their blood sweat an tears into a book to entertain us readers.
So I will try to be objective in the criteria I was looking for in this book;
First in series - the first book can be difficult, you can either overload the reader with to much information and world building, or not enough and the reader is left with questions un...more

So, wow, this was pretty good. There was a little confusion around Josh's injury and his first sex scene with Tuck, but for the most part, the writing is extremely well done, especially the military stuff. Pretty flawless. Sex is hot, though I'm not a fan of the sir stuff. It just throws me off outside of hardcore scenes. The pacing worked surprisingly well. Considering only two days had elapsed in real time, the exchange of 'I love yous' didn't make me cringe. The 'mating' aspect was done reall...more

OMG I really loved this... not only was it hot but the story was first class too. This is the first in a series and it is a series I will so be following and I will be first in the cue to get book 2. This is a story of trust and survival, it is about alpha males and how they adapt to each other and their surroundings. I loved that we got to see both men before they were brought together and I loved the people we were introduced to. I cant wait for...more

I really wanted to love this. I love shifters and I love m/m romance so had very high hopes. Sadly it lacked any depth for me and I found the whole thing unrealistic. Yes, I know its a paranormal romance so not going to be 'realistic' but for me characters still have to believe in a way which is somehow believable and I didn't think they did here. Or rather the human character didn't at times. He just went along with everything too eagerly and easily and turned into this person whose own charact...more
3.5 Stars Originally Reviewed for The Book Vixen
Really liked the sexy combo of military and paranormal MM romance. This is a BDSM-light romance which isn’t my thing but still done well in my limited reading experience.
I like that both Josh and Tuck are big strong, yummy soldiers. Their romance is super sexual and this author can write some great erotic interludes. I also like that Josh and Tuck find emotional compatibility together. For instance, Josh has never had acceptance for all his persona...more

DNF - 23%. I'm disappointed, I was expecting this book to be so good... but it just wasn't for me, I guess.

Kayley Scott’s debut novel A Werewolf’s Soldier, is one of the hottest M/M books I’ve read in a long time. The way this author describes Afghanistan and the soldiers makes them come alive. I loved Sergeant Joshua Tanner from the moment I met him and the werewolf Tuck is pretty badass and awesome too. Their journey through what most would consider Hell these days only brings the two men closer together. It’s a hot read, and I hope to read many more by this talented author. The writing and world b...more
Not a bad read but not a great one unless you like more erotica then a storyline. I felt the sex overshadowed the plot. Josh and Tuck were in a war zone and all it seemed they did was have sex and fight the Der at the end. They weren't even concerned about being discovered by enemy soldiers...that was how hot their passion for each other burned that they just kind of ignored everything that was going on around them. The MC's were likable although the dialogue between them was a bit repetitive an...more

2.5 stars. Very cool idea for a story, but it didn't entirely work for me. The setting is Afghanistan, a stark and unyielding landscape, and our main characters are tough military men, yet as soon as they meet, everything dissolves into instalove. I was irritated by Tuck's repeated references to Josh as "little." He's a muscled 6'2" soldier! Josh's submissiveness didn't feel organic; maybe more character development before the men met would have made it more believable. Still, it was entertainin...more
I really love to read soldier stories and was so excited when I started this book because it takes you straight into the action, you have the adrenaline going, you're anxious for the MC, you can see the strength of character...all things that drew me in and made me smile.
Then the story turns to sex (with a funny little side plot thrown in) and never looks back. I really wanted it to look back and become the story it was in the beginning. I am intrigued enough to read the next book and see which...more

This basically has everything I love in a book, the military, werewolves, MM, and hot guys. The whole idea of the Warwolves just turns my crank and maybe the fact that we don't really learn as much as we could in this first book of the series is one of the reasons it didn't quite work for me.
I really wanted to love this book. There's an overabundance of endearments here that I just cannot enjoy in any book, let alone an MM one: lover, handsome etc, etc...it's a short book so this is a constant o...more

Okay I caved just for the book title alone which caught my eye. It's a little bit different than the usual mate type shifter story not a bad romance and the MC's made a good team defeating the baddies. The D/s I could have done without definitely not my favorite part in the book. Recommended for fans of this genre its one of the better ones and there is no biting involved bonus in my opinion.

The blurb had me. Military, manlove and werewolves. Sign me up! The beginning had potential, but I found the author didn't quite deliver what she hinted at. The BDSM didn't ring true here. Too...soft. Telling up the hoo-hah. Good military detail, but the dialogue read unreal. If I read anther line with 'handsome' or 'lover'...
This story is written with an interesting writing style. This story felt real and the emotions between both MC's were true and hot. I have to admit, this novella was way to short, the way it ended it felt rushed and I didn't like it. But in general I really do like this first book and will wait for the next book patiently.
This book I picked up on impulse. I really didn't know what to expect from this author but found myself liking it. The first half of the story is definitely the stronger part of the writing. The descriptions and characters were very well done. I liked how the author gave a fairly accurate look at the military without overdoing it and drowning the reader in details. The story was very insta-love but I don't have the problem with it that others do. I wish we had learned a little more about this wo...more
The reviews had me a little leary but I'm so glad I went ahead and read this one. It's a hot, sexy werewolf story that got my attention from beginning to end. I fell immediately in love with Josh. He is one sexy soldier! This had the perfect blend of action and hot sex right in the middle of a warzone. I can't wait for the sequel.
Great novel, started out amazing with action and a lot of held-on suspense. Afterwards took a turn of surprise, romance was a little took quick to build but in the end works perfectly well. All in the journey that makes the greatest impact (especially in romance/love).
