Dr. Cari Dunn, a B-list reality television star, has apparently made some enemies. It’s clear when they start leaving intimidating messages for her to discover which prompts her producers to hire close protection for her. She’s upset that such a life altering decision was made without her permission and she’s scared.

Enter Jasper Benjamin. Embodying the intoxicatingly sexy role of bodyguard. Things get unprofessional really quick with these two because their chemistry is off the charts.

This is the first short story in the Uninhibited trilogy. The character development is pretty shallow before Jasper and Cari get down and dirty, which tells me this story is primarily focused on getting me off but not necessarily to tell a complex, multifaceted story. Just a bit of fun! It ends with a cliffhanger, but you won’t be waiting long. Stay tuned for Unbound within a week.

Untamed is like a tease with all of the hot and wild build up but you get a finish! However it's not what you might think you want. I wasn't sure about the storyline with the bodyguard but he sure does make things interesting! The cliffhanger is what really keeps you wanting more though!

Wow what a steamy romance story and will comment more when I have read the other 2 books. Can't wait

A great book. Amazing chemistry between the main characters. Very hot and steamy.
Well written and good story line.
Looking forward to reading the next. Loved the hallway scene :)

ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.

Untamed is a sexy start to a new series! Cari is a celebrity archaeologist who has attracted a stalker of sorts, so her production company and boss have hired her a bodyguard. Unfortunately for Cari, the bodyguard turns out to be a hot, buffed guy, Jasper, who is seemingly immovable in her quest to get him to notice her. That is until one night at a club as she's dancing with another hot guy, trying to make Jasper jealous, and he finally bites.

When he informs her that he likes to watch and to share, but that sex has to be on his terms, meaning he's in control, he's fully expecting her to balk at that. But, she's just as hot for him and for his brand of dominance that she has absolutely no plans on rejecting his offer.

But, still, there's the little matter of someone who seems to dislike her and the reason Jasper was actually hired, so how will the new dimension to their relationship affect his job? Can they have both a relationship and keep her safe and find out who's harassing her?

Short, sexy and intense - this is a great start to this series! I can't wait to read more!

This is the first book I've read by this author. This is the first book in this series by this author. This is a very short read, about 65 pages. This book is full of hot and steamy scenes, fantastic banter between the characters and a hot alpha hero mixed with a sassy heroine. Fantastic story, there was a lot packed into the pages of this short read. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed and advance reader copy of this book

I received a copy of this book from the publisher for an honest review.

I have been seeing this author's name repeatedly and when I saw this series was up for review I jumped at the chance to try her out! She's completely new to me as an author though not new to the craft.

Untamed is the first book in a trilogy about an archaeologist (Cari) who has made a name for herself being on TV and showing the world the treasures she uncovers. Her current location in this book has had some issues. There's a land dispute and this is where Cari's expertise comes in handy.

Someone doesn't care for Cari though. So much that the network hires an Alpha bodyguard to be with Cari at all times. Now remember - this book is short. It's listed as 63 pages on an retailers site. So things move quickly in that small amount of pages.

Anyway - Cari and Jasper have major insta-lust. So much so by the end of this story I'm asking myself - "Did that just happen?" I wanted to say this is way too soon for this to be happening! The story is written well. I think the author escalated the timeline of the story because of the briefness of the books in the series.

There is a bit of suspense trying to figure out who would hurt Cari and can they find the culprit in time. That remains the question of the day.

This is Part 1 in the Uninhibited Series. We meet Cari as she’s going to her room after leaving the archaeological site. She’s the star o Digging Discoveries with Dr. Dunn. She finds her door has been vandalized and it’s not the first time that it’s happened. This is when we meet Jasper, her new bodyguard. This is a short story and ends in a cliff hanger! So be aware that you will need to read more books to find out the complete story. It’s a very well written story and I can’t wait to read Part 2. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book that I received from Netgalley.

Okay, this review is going to be short. Why? Because this is part 1 of 3 parts in a complete serial. I know, I’ve been very vocal about NOT ever reading a serial but this one was sent complete so I decided to take a chance. Let you in on a little secret…I’ve read all three parts. 😉

Keep in mind that this is erotic so there is sex o plenty. 😉 Voyeurism, exhibitionism, a tease of menage, just to name the highlights. But it’s interesting how Ms. Hawkeye switched some of the gender roles when it comes to it. I was shocked but also very pleased. It’s a running theme throughout the serial and it’s very, very good. It explains a lot about a certain character in the book and makes me like them even more.

The suspense element that starts in this part is great. The ending of part 1 is a shocker.

I realize that this serial is NOT available in all parts to readers. The last part releases in late July but it is definitely one that you should pick up.

Novella sized read that is the first in a three part series.

The characters of Cari, a sassy archaeologist with a stalker and Jasper her body guard make for one hot story. As I said this is just a novella but is a great beginning to what promises to be a fun read with some great chemistry.

I devoured this three part novella series all in one sitting because it was sexy and entertaining as hell.  I was psyched that I didn't have to wait it out to get all of the installments - the cliffhangers would have killed me!!

Cari is a star of a reality TV show about her archaeologist digs and while she's not Kardashian famous she has her own bit of a following.  However, her latest job isn't very popular with the locals and she has started receiving threats which leads her production company to hire a bodyguard.

Enter Jasper and all of his naughty hotness.

You cannot even imagine the instant and intense sexual chemistry these two share. It leaves you feeling turned on and consumed by their lust. Their erotic storyline is coupled with the suspenseful sub-plot of who is after Cari.  All together it creates a fast paced and exciting read.
 
I thought Untamed was awesome and a great start to this series.  My recommendation is to one-click and meet this crazy duo - you will love their Uninhibited Series.

As the first part in a serial, I hesitate to rush to judgment. Cari Dunn is an archaeologist who has her own reality tv show. Currently, she is in Georgia, digging on a disputed land site: developer vs. Native American. Cari doesn't really care about the dispute, such as it is - only that she can dig. However, when she finds out she's been receiving graffitied messages, she confronts her producer - who then tells her there is far worse than the messages. The network has therefore assigned her a bodyguard. There is an immediate attraction between Cari and Jasper and the only question is which one will break first.

I thought Cari's characterization was uneven. She was presented as a capable professional, aware of her reality celebrity status - even if she didn't love the recognition is always brought. However, once Jasper is in the picture, it quickly becomes difficult to see who Cari is. On the one hand, she goes after what she wants but on the other, I'm not certain why she would act as she does when she is aware that she is considered a celebrity by the locals. It just seemed odd to me that she would act as she did in the bar without a care in the world.

I should say, I was attracted to this serial because I love books involving archaeologists and the suspense element was also appealing. However, while there is a certain degree of suspense, so far any archaeology elements have occurred off stage.

The sex scenes are hot and despite my disbelief at the set up, work nicely. The serial itself ends on a cliffhanger of sorts, but fortunately, the next part of the serial is released soon.

This is a decent and fast read, and if you like Ms. Hawkeye's work then this is certainly well worth a try.

3.5 stars

This is a fairly short novella to read. We find ourselves in summertime in Georgia. Who is Dr. Dunn? What does Dr. Dunn find on the door to the hotel room after returning from filming a show that day? Who is Russ Daly? Who is Nolan? What is going on in Georgia? Who is Jasper and what is he in Georgia for? What is his new job detail? What does Dr. Dunn do to push and push and push Jasper and what action does he take in response? What happens to Dr. Dunn's hotel room? Read this short novella and find out. This is the first of three hot novellas. Enjoy it!

RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT FOR A FAIR/HONEST REVIEW and REVIEWER FOR Bloggin' With M. Brennan

Untamed is the first part of a three part serialized novel by Lauren Hawkeye about a famous TV archeologist, Dr Cari Dunn. Cari has a TV show, and they are shooting their show on location. However, Cari has made herself an enemy or two, as evidenced by threats she’s been receiving, so the show hires her a bodyguard, tall, hot and sexy Jasper Benjamin. Cari finds herself attracted to Jasper and the sparks fly.

This is a pretty quick and dirty novella. It’s pretty obvious from the start with these two that they are going to have one hot and steamy relationship, especially with what goes down in the bar with them. Just as the action gets going, the bullets start flying, literally. But that’s where it ends in part one, and we don’t quite know what’s going on. A cliffhanger at it’s best. Luckily, part two is coming right up! I Love how Ms. Hawkeye isn’t making us wait forever to find out what’s happening next!

ARC received for review

About 70 pages with 90% of them being chemistry and sex. The beginning was a okay intro to the danger following her. Really steamy bar scene and back to the room for more...then bang...something through the window and cliffy. Didn't like that the bodyguard didn't even try to resist her to just do his job.

I just loved this book and the characters Lauren has created in this new series and I really can't wait for the next 2 books in this series. Totally worth you trying this book and author as her books get better and better. Would recommend

This is the first of a three book serial that focuses on Carrie an archaeologist. Her current situation is a dig in an area ready to be built on.
She is happy as lark digging away until the threats start. Next thing she knows she is hauled into the office where she meets Jasper her new bodyguard.
Things start to get exciting in more ways than one.
I thought the story line was good but I was felt the heat level could have been hotter. I did love the characters and it is a cliffhanger that is followed in the next book. The fact this is listed in the book description was a great idea.


** I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**

This author is not new to me so I know I can get a good read when I open one of her books. This one drew me because of the hint of danger with the heat that goes with it. It centers around Cari who is a archaeologist of all things which was interesting to me. She will have her hands full with more than dirt but danger follows her. She does get some cover on that front from Jasper. She wants more it seems to than protection by just looking at him. Heat will rise but then you will have to put yourself on hold for a minute.
