Book Review: You Had Me at Jaguar by Terry Spear

Another solid book from Terry Spear, “You Had Me at Jaguar” is aptly titled. It has been almost three years since I have read about the werejaguars with “A Very Jaguar Christmas.” So, when I received the ARC for this book, I was totally pumped.

And, Terry Spear did not disappoint. From the streets of Houston to the jungles of Belize, it is an adrenaline rush from start to finish as jaguar shifters Howard Armstrong and Valerie Chambers try to catch one of their own.

This is not your usual paranormal story wherein the weres are pitted against humans who are bad guys. “You Had Me at Jaguar” gives a glimpse on how the wereworld police themselves and hide their existence from the general population.

The novel is first and foremost a police procedural, paranormal style. It is also a slow burn romance between the hero and heroine. They could have used more character development. But I presume that there are no more pages available to do that because of the main plot and the other two subplots.

There is also a crossover with the werewolves, which is good to see. I had that in “A Very Jaguar Christmas” and it was thoroughly enjoyable.

A fast and easy read, “You Had Me at Jaguar” is Rated M for Mature due to paranormal violence and sexual content.
