SUMMARY
(From Goodreads)

The newest member of the elite Feral Warriors brotherhood, Fox is eager to prove himself on the frontlines of battle against the Daemons. When paired with the legendary Ilina warrior, Melisande, he expects the fierce beauty to quickly fall under the spell of his quite considerable charm. Instead, he finds himself spellbound by a woman who’s his match in every way.

Beneath Melisande’s brittle exterior lies centuries of pain and a violent hatred of all shape-shifters—a hatred that slowly crumbles after they’re caught in a deadly and cunning Mage trap and she glimpses a surprising depth in her far-too-seductive partner. Their survival demands unconditional trust—and their salvation surrender to a wild, untamed love.

After the way the last book in the series ended, I had been stalking the sites waiting for my chance to pounce on the next book in advance.  When it became available for review, my fingers clicked faster than the eye could see.  Yes everyone, I was that anxious to read the next book in the Feral Warrior world.

We start the story eight days before the story ended in the last one.  Kieran is training new recruits into the Therian Guard.  It is then that he becomes marked as a new Feral Warrior along with one other.  From this point we also get to flash forward slowly up until the point of what actually happened those last few moments in book six.  We see who kidnapped Kara — their Radiant and Lyon’s mate — and how it all went down.

I always had a soft spot for Fox even when it was the previous one.  I missed the Cub, but when Kieran was marked as his replacement I decided to give him a chance.  He still had the playfulness of the previous Fox, but he was also a born warrior.  There was no mistaking the good that is in him.  Melisande was never a favorite character of mine.  She was without emotion and just to hard for my taste.  Even though I wasn’t a fan of her,  I tried to embrace her personality and give her a chance.  What we learn of her past though is actually what made her the cold and vicious warrior that she is today.  Only Fox is the one who has touched her tender side and he is the only one who can bring it out.  Mel is aware from the get go that he is her destined mate but she refuses to accept it.  She wants to stay cold and unfeeling without having to accept a Feral Warrior as her mate.  She has despised them for so long, she is afraid to even let one close enough to see her weakness.

The two become trapped in a Mage Labyrinth with no way out that they can find.  This where the story started to fall for me.  I enjoyed the small connections between the two characters and understand that this is their book, but I wanted the other Feral’s included more.  Each book the author has had before this one has had a balance of main characters and side characters.  The reader received enough of each to stay satisfied.  With Love Untamed,  we are only given small glimpse’s of the rest of the Warrior’s and it didn’t satisfy me as a fan of the series.  We were given small pieces of further story but not enough to get the reader as excited as before.  There are still some questions unanswered.  This fine since it is a series, but too many can lead to the reader becoming to frustrated to continue in the journey.

The rescue of Kara was also rushed and too easy.  I expected it to be much more with all Feral Warrior’s included in the rescue.  Instead they only appear near the end of the rescue.  If they are rescuing Kara from the evil Mage’s main stronghold, you would think it would have been a little harder than what it was.

Overall I was glad to have read this one early.  I am left guessing of what will come in the next one even if I felt a little cheated with it.  Not one of my favorites of the series like I was hoping, but one very worth the time and money especially if you are a huge fan of the series.  Now the only problem is waiting even longer for the next one to arrive!

SUMMARY
(From Amazon)


Shattered by recent nightmarish events, Hawke feels his bond with his animal spirit weakening—and once it breaks, he’s finished. The arrival of Faith sends his life spinning even further out of control, for although she delights him and enflames his deepest primal passions, she’s promised to Maxim, the newest Feral Warrior.

Faith is drawn to Hawke from the start, but Maxim holds her in his thrall and has secretly bent her to his malevolent will. Though gravely damaged, Hawke is the only one who can end Faith’s slavery and protect the Feral Warriors from Maxim’s evil designs. But first they both must embrace the wild . . . and surrender body and soul to a forbidden, all-consuming ecstasy.

Hawke is back and be still my heart! I finally made it to my favorite Feral Warrior and his tortured story.  I think I didn’t eat, sleep or do much of anything while reading this book.  Even my kids steered clear of me.

Hawke has been rescued from the spirit trap and he is not the same as when he went in.  His animal is fighting with him and causing him to shift.  Even though he is trying to fight the rage and the unwanted shifting, when the animal does take over it takes him to the sky for hours.  When he is in his hawk form, he isn’t even remembering it.  If he doesn’t get his animal under control soon,  he will eventually die.

Faith is a Therian living in Poland.  When out one night she is attacked by Daemons.  A handsome stranger comes to her rescue and convinces her that they are mates.  He sweeps her away to the Feral House to claim his animal that he is marked with.  Maxim is not what he seems though.  He is cold, cruel, and definitely not the next Foxx.  Some animals were never reborn into the next Feral intended until the spirit trap was breached.  Now they are finding themselves being introduced to them rather quickly.  In this we see the true nature of Maxim and the true evil he is capable of.  Seriously, by the end of Chapter 6, this book becomes dark, dirty and flat out suspenseful.  Be warned and be ready to have your heart flutter in fear.

As if the author couldn’t torture us enough after that, the readers learn a secret about Faith that could change everything.  Will she reveal it to Hawke and the other Warriors? If she does, will she do it in time? Can she save Hawke and make him realize what is truly wrong with his animal spirit? Well, my lovely readers — you will have to read the book.

The ending was bittersweet for me.  It is left with a climatic ending that makes me scream in frustration because we have to wait for the next book!  Release day will not arrive soon enough for this fan. I wonder if I could bribe author Pamela Palmer for some hints and secrets?

“His legs are regrowing.  Along with everything in between.”
Several of the Ferals blanched.
“There’s nothing in this world more painful than regrowing a penis.” Kougar said quietly.
“It’s taking longer than the legs.” Olivia crossed her arms tight as if shielding herself as another of Jag’s yells echoed through the house.
“That’s part of the reason it’s so painful.  It takes forever.”
“How much longer?” Olivia asked.
“Another hour, maybe.”
Every man shuddered this time.  Olivia squeezed her eyes closed. “It better come back as good as new, that’s all I’m saying.”

Vhyper shook his head.  “You couldn’t be the Wicked Witch of the West.  You have to be all Tinker Bell cute and sunny.”

Hunger Untamed

SUMMARY
(From Amazon)


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 . . .

For a thousand years she has haunted him—Ariana, Queen of the linas, a beauty of mist and light. His love, his life mate . . . Kougar believed her lost to him forever, until the truth of her stunning betrayal left him bitter and hungry for revenge. Now she alone holds the power to save two trapped and desperate Feral Warriors.

Ariana, caught in a deadly battle of her own, is neither the soulless creature Kougar believes her to be nor the savior he seeks.

And when darkness threatens to annihilate both races, the greatest danger of all becomes the glorious love Kougar and Ariana once shared. A love that must never rise again. A love that has never died.

The first four books in this series blew me away! This one — not so much.  While I still enjoyed the wild ride the author took me on,  I think I just had a hard time because of the main characters.

Kougar and Ariana were mated in the past.  They thought being from different races wouldn’t hurt their love for each other, but fate had other ideas.  After an attack on the Iliana race that Ariana is the Queen for, they are forced to go into hiding and break communication with Kougar.

Kougar thinks that his mate died long ago, but she didn’t.  Years later when he discovers the truth, he promises to keep their secret and walks away from Ariana.  In the years that followed, hate and contempt has formed in Kougars cold heart and Ariana has tried to control the secrets and pain while protecting her race.  When other warriors are trapped in the spirit trap, Kougar goes on the hunt for Ariana since she is the only one who has access to it.  He has eleven days to convince her to help.  Unfortunately, if Ariana does as he asks, she risks the extinction of herself and her entire race for real this time.

Ariana was not a great character for me.  I just couldn’t connect with her as I did the previous heroines in the other books.  I am not sure what made her unlikable to me but I know she wasn’t up to par as the previous ones.  Kougar had his good moments and you can’t mistake his dedication and loyalty to his race, but he wasn’t as strong as I thought he would be.  He is powerful and sexy, but he is lacking a certain punch for me to believable.  I think it is because I felt the relationship was being forced for me.  I just couldn’t get the two to connect in my mind.  There wasn’t much chemistry in my minds eye, but there was much begging and pleading from Kougar and many no’s from Ariana.

I still enjoyed the book and I am glad to have read it for the simple fact that previous plot lines played out.  What I love the most is how the author makes sure we don’t forget the previous characters because they are essential to each story for progression.  The next book features Hawke who happens to be my favorite Warrior so far.  I have been waiting patiently — okay not so patiently — for his book and I am glad to be starting it next!

Rapture Untamed
Series: Feral Warriors #4

Publisher: AVON
Genre: Adult Paranormal Romance
ISBN: 9780061794704

SUMMARY
(From Goodreads)


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.

Let me tell you straight off the bat, Jag is one hot mo-fo! Seriously!  Yes he is arrogant and a pain in the wazoo at times, but he does not lack in sexuality and form.  Whew. I was hoping he would jump off the page and come alive before my eyes.

Author Pamela Palmer definitely upped the sexiness factor in this series with Rapture Untamed.  What starts out as a playful game between Olivia and Jag, slowly turns into an explosive — and at times rough — game of wills and sex.  Jag has had some things happen to him in the past that has shaped his personality.  He is hard to get along with and he can be pretty cruel at times to people and friends alike.

Olivia is part of the Therian Guard and has been called to the Feral House to help in the fight against the Daemons.  The only problem is that she is keeping a huge secret and could be the key in getting herself killed by the Feral’s themselves.  When Olivia is forced to team up with Jag and his sexual innuendos, she has a hard time fighting her nature and secret.

This book rocked with the action, suspense, magic and romance.  Each book in the series is getting better than the last — if that is even possible.  With each of the characters playing important roles in the series, we are getting a glimpse at future books with each one.

The ending was horrible in the fact that it is left on a cliffhanger and tortures the reader in having to wait for the next book.  Thankfully, I had the next book handy or I would have gone insane or stalked the author for little tidbits about the series. If you haven’t started reading the series, get on it readers.  You are really missing out on talent and amazing writing!
