UNTAMED

Did you enjoy Invincible and Lawless by Diana Palmer than you will love UNTAMED. UNTAMED introduces some new characters and revisits some beloved ones as well. Diana Palmer does a great job of making sure you are not kept in the dark about those characters that have appeared or starred in previous works so be assured UNTAMED totally stands on its own merits.

At the outset it looks like there was to be a rather quick resolve to a years long issue but never underestimate the mind of Diana Palmer. It's a setup. Once we are invested in the past of Rourke Stanton and Clarisse "Tat" Carrington there is simply no way to back out. UNTAMED is an intriguing page turner that takes you to their shared past and then brings you back to the present. Both Stanton and Tat have lived their lives surrounded with lies and secrets. Stanton works in the world of merc's and survival. Tat was busy just trying to manage her life.

As UNTAMED travels on we find the paths of Stanton and Tat continually intersect over the years -- most often with Tat in peril and Stanton out to save her once again. Neither of one them chose safe careers. They both seemed to thrive in dangerous situations. But Stanton was built for action and he choose long ago to be Tat protector -- with or without her knowledge or approval.

Stubborn and smart these two just can't catch a break. Even when it looks like there is a glimmer of hope for some kind of future for these star crossed lovers it quickly gets extinguished.

Be prepared for the ride of your life while the lives of both Tat and Stanton have extreme highs and lows -- like a roller coaster -- the roller coaster of their lives. Hopefully at the end of that rocky ride there is hope for these two intelligent, caring, strong and determined characters.

Along their voyage we will have the opportunity to meet some very wonderful friends who become an intrinsic element of the story. There is a dangerous element looking to settle an old score. An enemy without scruples or conscience. An enemy that is really good at blending in and recognizing weaknesses. Everyone associated with Tat or Stanton has to be diligent. There is so much at stake.

UNTAMED by Diana Palmer is a study about the effect lies and secrets have on peoples lives. Palmer loves to pair up the most unmatched couples and in UNTAMED she has done that yet again. Diana Palmer is a firm believer that opposites attract. She makes it work despite seemingly unconquerable odds. In UNTAMED definitely brings out the big guns. Be prepared to be dazzled.

SUMMARY

Stanton Rourke lives life on the edge. The steely mercenary is dangerous in every way…especially to Clarisse Carrington's heart. She and Rourke were playmates as children, but she's not the innocent girl he once knew. When tragedy robbed Clarisse of her entire family, her life was changed forever. Besides, she's a grown woman now, and there are secrets that hold her back from succumbing to her pursuer. As she struggles to keep her distance, sparks as hot as a Texas summer fly between them. But danger is following Clarisse, leaving her no choice but to rely on Rourke, even as the old wounds lying dormant between them flare up again…
