UNTAMED
by Pamela Clare
A friend of mine suggested
this series to several readers in preparation for a discussion group when the
third in the series is released in April She gave me the titles of books one
and two, and me being ever so eager to read, promptly went and purchased,
downloaded, and read Untamed. Naturally, me being me, I read book two before
book one… I know! Major “Dork”
status. (But at least I know how book
one turns out.)
Untamed is set early in
American history, during the mid to late 1750’s. Our hero is Morgan MacKinnion, a Scot who has
been –along with his brothers, Iain and Conner- blackmailed into fighting with
the British, as one of their specially trained Rangers/ Morgan has led his team
of men to a fort that was controlled by the French military when he becomes
wounded and captured.
Our heroine, an innocent
Officer’s Daughter, Amalie Chauvent who is staying at the fort with the father
is soon asked the impossible: to care for and nurse the wounded Ranger back to
health so he may be tried and executed for his various crimes in battle. Amalie takes on the responsibility
reluctantly, eventually finding herself developing feelings for the Scot, who
represents all that she has come to despise.
During their imposed time
together at the hospital, she is asked to investigate him, hoping to use his
knowledge of the British armies and their plans to the French advantage. Amalie
soon discovers that there is much more to Morgan than she or the Forts
Commanders thought.
Would I recommend this book
to you? Absolutely! I would, however, suggest reading Pamela Clare’s Surrender (the first in this
series, well- first. They do build off of one another, but I had no problem
jumping into the story. So, please, find
a comfortable chair, grab your favorite beverage
and a snack, and snuggle up with a hot Highlander for a few hours.
Overview
When he awakens sweet
passion in a convent-bred, French lass, Morgan MacKinnon finds himself cursing
the war that's forced him to choose between upholding his honor and pledging
himself to the woman he loves.
