    The Hero 
  
 
Dante Soltari, has been searching for his mate all of his life. He knows that if he doesn't find her he will die a painful death. He never thought that he would find his mate as a mixed blood but now that he has, he knows he must protect her at all costs. Because some of his people believe in destroying anything that isn't pure blood. But Dante refuses to let anything happen to Kerry.Dante is of the fox clan, and has his own crafty ways of protecting. I grew to love Dante and I had forgotten how much I loved him in the first book "Unleashed". But seeing him as the main hero in this book was refreshing. He could be such an alpha male at times but what a delicious and sexy character he was. I really liked seeing the hidden depths to him. He does take his job to protect Kerry to a new level. He could be domineering and stubborn and liked having his own way. But he also could be tender, sweet and understanding and a good listener. He was the perfect match for Kerry, because he could be patient with her but also firm when it was needed.
 
  
    The Heroine 
  
 
Kerry has known since she was a little girl how different she was from everyone. How her parents practically rejected her because of her "gift" although Kerry has always looked at it as a curse more than a gift. It has only brought her pain and the loss of touch or affection except from her closest friend Samantha, because she learns that Samantha is just like her. Most people view Kerry as gorgeous but aloof and cold. An ice queen, but hardly anyone knows that Kerry is the exact opposite. She craves passion and to live a life she dreams of. Without fearing pain and horrible memories or thoughts from others. Kerry is a heroine you can like from the beginning. First off, she isn't stick thin. She has curves but make them work for her in her modeling career. I admire character that use what they have and mold them into a dream and a career like Kerry does for herself. She is driven, independent and willful. But she is a fighting and I loved seeing how she toughs it out with Dante.
 
  
    Plot and Story Line 
  
 
In Untouched we have a story that pretty much continues from where we leave off from Unleashed. Now I read Unleashed quite some time ago, but Sara Humphreys touch base with what happened in the first book (so it can be read as a stand alone here) and I realized how much I love this author and the way she has written this world and these Amoveo people. The Amoveo is a large group of shifters, there are many different animal clans here. Our hero is from the fox clan and boy was that neat!! I have never read a shifter romance with a fox so I was intrigued by it for sure. And Dante makes for a sexy fox for sure. What was interesting about this book was the romance here. These two really have to work to get a good balance going in their relationship. I mean, they have some off the charts chemistry. But the intellectual and emotional aspects of their relationship really take some hard work. They both have strong personalities, both are driven and like to have things go their own way. Dante is overprotective (but he has good reasons for it) and Kerry is a bit reckless and spirited. I loved the way that Dante handles her, because it wasn't too overbearing. He knows how real the threat is to Kerry but I do like that he doesn't try to push Kerry into a cave and go all tarzan on her. Now what really impressed me with this book was the villain of the story. The author writes one that is mysterious and cunning and you don't know the true identity until the very end. And I was blown away by the person behind it all. This book had me thrilled, excited, anxious and weak-kneed all at once!!! Another win for this author. I can't wait for book three!!!
