Ecstasy Untamed was a interesting story and not what I expected. There are some authors I just trust to deliver completely and this is one of those authors, that is how much I trust her. However, having said that, I didn't do any research on this book nor did I expect this to have a bit a love triangle type of conflict. Now its not a straight up love triangle but the first 35% or so you aren't sure what is actually happening there. So I found it quite interesting since this dynamic and the way the conflict was introduced was very different for a paranormal romance.

White-hot rage glowed, burning away his mind until only banked coals remained, coals ready to erupt into flame at the slightest stir of thought, of consciousness.

Faith is living in eastern europe, making an effort to help young girls that are being forced to be sex workers and trying to inspire them to make more positive change in their lives. When a mysterious man comes to her on the streets and she feels a connection to him and he claims her to be his mate, having been part of the people and have lived for centuries, she knows how important the Feral Warriors are against the evils in their worlds, as they are like royalty for their people. She knows she can't resist a mating bond. When she arrives though to the home of the Feral Warriors, she starts to have doubts about the mating bond and she has a connection to one of the other Feral Warriors, a warrior is at odds with his spirit animal. But she has a bond with another and she is feeling torn about which man she should go with ....but when she learns the truth .....her heart will answer the call on her path moving forward....

I really loved the complexicity of the relationship that is shown here. Even though I am not a big fan of the three way conflict....what I did love was seeing the angst emotional moments between these characters. I really had to read the blurb at first because I was confused on who the real hero would actually be. To be honest you don't really know until they arrive at the Feral Warriors home. I really loved the connection between Faith and Hawke. Its a very insta love in that respect, but with each chapter we see that chemistry just build between them. I really enjoyed both of these characters. I felt so heartbroken for Faith and what she has to go through in this book. I am also relieved that some things she didn't keep a secret for too long, that she does come out with the truth on it. And the way the truths are all revealed, I actually really liked. There was such a intensity to this book that kept me on the edge of my seat and where I didn't want to put this one down.

What I truly loved was the alpha vibes in this book, the edgy thrills of the paranormal world that this author created and how fascinated I was into this world again and how much I have missed so many of these characters.

I wasn't a fan of the love triangle type of aspect, it definitely was a turn off for me especially since I wasn't aware of it going in (and yes thats my own fault lol) but it still affected my overall enjoyment of this story and what kept it from being a five star read.

It was wonderful.....I think this is the first time I have done a audio for this series and it definitely won't be the last as I work my way through this series.

Ecstasy Untamed was a intense filled story that kept me hooked all the way through, it had a plot that kept adding thrills and edges to it that will fascinate the reader and only want more from....

Steam/Spice Explanations

Simmering cup of tea---soft warm touches and light intimacy
Warmin' by the fire- a medium level of sexual tension, a balance of sexual and emotional intimacy, lighter on the details in the sexual moments.
Steamin' up the room -the sexual content is more explicit in the language and tone, heavier amount of sexual scenes.
Blazing fire to the building-The prime focus is the sex scenes, scorching hot, and could burn one. Less focus on the emotional intimacy to the relationship.
