Romance Paranormal

THE UNTAMED VAMPIRE is book 4 in Kate Baxter's Last True Vampire series. Because THE UNTAMED VAMPIRE has such a hotbed of secrets and complex relationships, I think readers should read the previous books in the series before jumping into this story. The men in THE UNTAMED VAMPIRE are driven almost to the point of madness by their single-minded obsession with different bewitching women. The morally ambiguous werewolf Christian is trying to keep a lid on his fascination with the dhampir ruler Siobhan. Newly made vampire Saeed is consumed by his enticing and tormenting visions of a beautiful fae. Gunnar Falk, Alpha of the Forkbeard pack, is knocked for a loop when he plans on catching a thief and catches his fated mate instead.

I was so excited to find out that vampire extraordinaire Chelle Daly's tethered mate would be a werewolf. I love werewolves, and Gunnar is exactly the kind of protective, do-anything-for-his-mate, sexy werewolf that will have any paranormal romance fan begging for more. Chelle and Gunnar do occasionally clash when it comes to her methods for trying to find out more about how she was magically made a vampire. Both characters struggle in deciding whether their new unexpected and inconvenient mate is a boon or a catastrophe. After all is said and done, and after the fur flies, the attraction and eventual mutual respect stops any argument from turning truly nasty.

Power struggles abound in THE UNTAMED VAMPIRE, and they're not limited to the bad guys. Vampire king Mikhail Aristov finds himself making uneasy alliances in order to fight a greater threat. Gunnar has to fend off treacherous rumblings from a pack member. Christian is in a constant state of flux as he tries to navigate his way in the paranormal predator power struggle. Finally yet importantly, Gunnar and Chelle struggle with themselves and each other as they try to make their head and hearts gel. In THE UNTAMED VAMPIRE, Chelle is desperate to understand herself and be at ease with her new amped-up powers.

THE UNTAMED VAMPIRE is bursting with dynamite characters and a thrilling romance between two alphas. If it hasn't already been published and I just missed it, I would love to read a novella about how werewolf mates Jillian and Sven met. Since I adore werewolves, and find Gunnar's pack intriguing, I would love it if Kate Baxter ever did a spin-off werewolf series. There are so many cool supporting characters in THE UNTAMED VAMPIRE, Lucas, Sasha, Saeed, that I crave their stories and can't wait for them to be told. I look forward to reading Kate Baxter's next gripping paranormal romance.

SUMMARY

WILD AT HEART

Chelle is not your typical vampire. Turned not with a bite but an age-old magic, she’s the only one of her kind—and more powerful than most. Still adjusting to her endless thirst and lethal fangs, she’s desperate to discover what sets her apart. When she encounters a brutally virile alpha werewolf, she soon learns that she’s not immune to the mating call—and her own primal longing…

The leader of the ancient Forkbeard pack, Gunnar is stunned by Chelle’s lush beauty. The wild wolf inside him howls for her, but unions between vampire and werewolf are strictly taboo—even if their clans weren’t on the verge of war. Desire has never been so dangerous…but, as a malevolent new power rises, Chelle and Gunnar face an even more frightening threat. Together, they might find a way to save their clans. But can they claim their passion, in The Untamed Vampire by Kate Baxter.
