{Book Review} Shifted Perceptions (Alpha Division #2) by C.E. Black (@CEBlackBooks)

If there's one thing Terry (aka Foxy) hates most, it's a traitor.

After Paul betrayed his team, he was given a second chance, though not everyone forgave the sexy jaguar shifter. In Foxy's mind, once a traitor, always a traitor, and she refuses to work him. Even if he is too desirable for his own good.

When Foxy and Paul are thrown together on a mission, butting heads is an understatement. The struggle for dominance brings tension to every encounter between these two. Paul seems determined to keep Foxy safe and she's determined to keep her distance. But with every burning glance he shoots her way, and every husky word he utters, she wonders if he's more determined to drive her crazy with lust than anything else. Her only resolution is to keep her cool, though that's easier said than done, even with her firm determination to never sleep with a traitor.

Going undercover isn't Foxy's specialty, but when Teij says jump, she doesn't even question how high. Infiltrating this group of drug smugglers and finding out who's really running the show is only part of the job. Her first priority is finding her captured teammate, and when she meets Stone, leader of this small organization, things begin to heat up unexpectedly. Foxy knows how to use the attraction to her advantage. Using her feminine wiles in these situations is expected. It's what the Alpha Division does - Get close, get what you came for, and get out. Only, things aren't going as planned.

The secrets are piling up and time is running short, but Foxy's real problem is keeping her focus. Between Paul and Stone, she's having a hard time keeping her head - and her clothes - on straight.

Foxy can’t forget Paul’s treachery and she doesn’t understand why Alpha Division welcomes him as a trusted team member with open arms.  She keeps telling herself that she is keeping her distance from him because she can’t trust him – but she also can’t stop the desire that threatens to spin out of control every time she looks at him.

Now forced to work closely together, Foxy tries to bury her feelings for Paul and throws herself into her job and lands right in the arms of one of their main suspects – Stone.  

No, I corrected myself. They didn’t kidnap her, Paul had, I thought, with a sneer, as I did my best not to glare at him. I didn’t care that he turned good and helped save the day. Once a traitor, always a traitor in my book.

Paul has never hidden his feelings from Foxy. Being so close to her night and day has only made him want her more. He is willing to face any danger and even share her with another man to win her heart once and for all.

He curled his fingers inward in a come here gesture. “Come here, Foxy.” His lips pulled up in a sensual smiled and I almost did it. My skin felt too tight and my breath caught in my throat. Then he said, “You know you want to.”

Shifted Perceptions is the second and most intense installment of the Alpha Division series.  C.E. Black has really accelerated the action and turned up the heat!  I was doubtful that anything could redeem Paul but I ended up falling in love with his honesty and willingness to lay his soul bare for Foxy. 

It was tender, angry, action-packed and red-hot - C.E. Black’s sexy shifters at their very best…
