Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

They are called Feral Warriors—an elite band of immortals who can change shape at will. Sworn to rid the world of evil, consumed by sorcery and seduction, their wild natures are primed for release . . .

The most combative—and tormented—of all the Ferals, Jag is a predator who hunts alone—until daemons terrorize the human population. To stop them, he partners with Olivia, a flame-haired Therian temptress as strong as she is beautiful. But Olivia is no ordinary immortal. The survivor of a vicious supernatural attack, she possesses a deadly and forbidden skill—one that must remain hidden, especially from the powerful Feral Warriors.

As Jag and Olivia's sensual dance of dominance and seduction gets wilder and hotter, a dark force sets its sights on Olivia, threatening to destroy everything she has vowed to protect. And the only one who can save her soul is the arrogant jaguar shifter she lusts for but dares not love.

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I loved this series. I actually just read the first book in the series "Desire Untamed" Monday and finished "Rapture Untamed" last night. I think all the book fit wanderfully together and made a great contribution to the paranormal world. I did notice the reading order wasn't anywhere easily accessable so here it is:
1. Desire Untamed
2.Obsession Untamed
3. Passion Untamed
4. Rapture Untamed

Oh and if you like shifters you should check out the Shelly Laurenston/G.A Aiken those books are great to.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bad Kitty July 5, 2010

By melindeeloo TOP 500 REVIEWER

Format:Mass Market Paperback

Jag is the Feral Warrior with bad attitude who is always stirring up trouble with his brother warriors. Olivia is not one of the elite shifting Ferals, but a Guardian for their magical race. Olivia becomes the target for Jag's nasty mouth when she and her team arrive to help the Feral Warriors to track down daemons preying on the local humans. Jag doesn't see Olivia as a fellow warrior, but as a potential bedmate - just another in a long string - but Olivia has a secret, a curse, but one which makes her more than capable of holding her own against their evil enemies.

I've really enjoyed the past Feral warrior stories, but I have to say that this one was really mixed for me. I love it when bad boys go good, but initially I had a hard time with Jag. He's a real jerk when he verbally harassed and embarrassed Olivia in front of their comrades and Jag was not above using any means - I'd say fair or foul, but it's mostly foul - to manipulate Olivia into his bed. And when he discovered Olivia's secret, Jag was quick to use the info as black mail to achieve that end. I found this initial hook-up between the pair to be somewhat disturbing, it came pretty close to crossing the line into forced sex and didn't make it there only because Olivia was still aroused by the coerced seduction and Jag didn't actually make the final move until Olivia - which I thought was out of character - begged. I also didn't like that Jag introduced something hurtful, or demeaning into almost all of the `love scenes' - including attempting to get Olivia to `do it' with him while he was furry. We're supposed to forgive Jag since his rejection of intimacy is a form of self punishment for the crime in his past, and because Olivia was perceptive enough to 'know' what he's doing, but it took Jag way past jerkdom and it made it exceedingly hard to root for his redemption.

Now for the good. The story does improve when Jag finally faces his past and realized that, instead of pushing Olivia away, he wanted to keep her forever. And though the transition from 'nasty' Jag to `good' Jag is a bit clunky -- the action packed ending and the redeemed Jag make the last third of the book pretty good. I also really enjoyed the setup for Kougar's book and cameos by past pairs were fun too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book October 19, 2011

Format:Mass Market Paperback

This was my first book by this author, and I have to say I enjoyed reading Jag and Olivia's story. Although Jag started out as the worst jerk of the century, it made it that much better as Olivia broke through the bitterness that ate at him. Although I'm reading the books out of order it doesn't fell as though I've missed anything. I definitely recommend this book. I'm reading Kougars story now.
