Celebrity archaeologist Cari Dunn is so over the Georgia heat, the red tape at her dig site, and the threatening messages left on her motel door. She just wants to dig, and the network just wants to keep her safe—with a bodyguard. She can’t complain. Jasper Benjamin radiates raw masculinity that penetrates her to the core and ignites passion she’s never felt. Too bad for him, she's not going to be easy to handle.

Lusting after the bodyguard shouldn’t be so tempting, especially when her life is on the line.

Review:

First book in a three part serial. It starts out a full speed and just keeps going. It is super short and each of the three parts will come out in the subsequent weeks. It is suspenseful with a whole lot of sexy wrapped up in it.

So in this first part we meet Cari who is a celebrity and she has been threatened unbeknownst to her. The production company hires Cari a bodyguard, Jasper. Once they are together the sexy explodes. As does everything at the end of this first part.

3.5Stars

This is a great start to a sexy as hell series! Trust me when I say this is a hot start. Dr. Cari Dunn is an archeologist and a reality TV show star, but with fame also comes your typical perverted stalker. When the stalker starts to leave writings on her hotel door the producer employs Jasper, a bodyguard. Jasper is not just her bodyguard, he is sexy and she just can’t seem to stop thinking about him. I can’t tell you anymore just that this is a very steamy must read with mystery, drama and suspense. Just a heads up, this is a three part story.

Untamed is the first book in The Uninhibited series by Lauren Hawkeye.

This is my first read from this author and damn it was hot.

Dr. Cari Dunn is an archeologist with her own reality show. Not everyone is a fan, she's been receiving threats which makes the producers hire a bodyguard, Jasper Benjamin and its instant attraction on both parts.

This story is hot and the chemistry is off the charts. I love how Jasper can get Cari to leave her inhibitions behind her.

If your looking for a quick hot read then I suggest this book, yes we are left with a Cliffie, but omg I know the wait will be worth it. Can't wait for book 2!!

Great start to a sexy new series. Dr. Cari Dunn is an archeologist/reality TV star and has been receiving threats. Jasper is the bodyguard hired to protect her. Steamy read with plenty of drama and suspense looking forward to find out what happens in part 2. I really liked it!

untamed kicks of a short story trilogy about cari dunn and her sexy bodyguard, jasper benjamin. cari is besieged by a stalker leaving threatening messages. she's a celebrity archeologist and the host of a popular television show. suddenly the network insists that she can't shoot her show and she needs to hang out with a glorified babysitter.

except this glorified babysitter is super sexy. and also super kinky. because when she decides to push at the boundaries by going out and prowling the dance floor for a hook up she may have bitten off more than she can chew. because the random guy, jackson, is totally into priming her for jasper. and inexplicably she's totally into it too.

and when jasper finally gets her out of the bar and gets her off in public, well maybe he's teaching her about her limits or lack of them too. this book is a short, steamy read. it also ends in a cliffhanger, so if you don't want to wait a week, just know that in three weeks you can binge read the series.

'Untmaed' by Lauren Hawkeye is book One in the "Uninhibited" series. This is the story of Cari Dunn and Jasper Benjamin. This is a novella with about 65 pages.... that ends to being another part of their story in the next book. Cari is a celebrated archaeologist who has a fan base, so it isn't unusual to have people approach her for pictures or autographs. But it is something else when someone paints 'Bitch' on her hotel door. It seems she has a staler who is out for her and a body guard is needed.
They are both fast attracted to each other but they have to also deal with the person that is after Cari.
This was a Hot and Exciting Read.
The Uninhibited! 3-Part Serial is best enjoyed in order.
Reading Order:
Part 1 - Untamed
Part 2 - Unbound
Part 3 - Undone

Good start for this short erotic. My only complaint is the format. I'm not a fan of this serialized short broken up story. It feels far too much like I'm being gouged. Give me one linger book and I'm much happier.

Sorry, I tried to get into the story but the whole me man you woman, like to be watched mentality of Jasper put me off completely. Shame as this sounded like a good read,

I have never claimed to be a good girl and reading this makes my inner bad girl pur in naughty satisfaction. She moaned and begged to be released. She definitely thinks she can handle Jackson and Jasper. It's really hard to tame her because even I agree I would love the chance.

A quick hot temptation of instant connection and a fire that burns bright and hot. Untamed has me groaning not only in lust but in frustration....because it ends just when you think it's beginning.

Hot damn this book is smoking! Lauren shoots this one into orbit right out of the gate. This is the first book in a series of three and yes they will come out close together. Grab your fan and some ice and settle right into this one.

Gabi is on a dig in steamy hot Georgia and it seems someone doesn't want her there so her sponsors have hired a body guard. The body belongs to Jasper and talk about a total alpha... he also wastes no time showing his true colors to Gabi. He's the kind of naughty boy you love to read. Both of them give as good as the get.

The book is well written and heavy on the steam. It ends with a mini cliffhanger that will pick up there in book two.
This is a must read.

Amazing read Lauren!! I loved it!

Awesome start to this serial. Jasper and Cari's chemistry is instantaneous and that bar hallway scene?! Oh. My. God. HOT!!

Was this review helpful?

A short, fast paced, steamy romance story of danger, intense chemistry, passion, steamy scenes, that ends with a cliff hanger. But not to worry because the second book in this series comes out a week after Untamed is released.

I volunteered to review an advanced readers copy of this book.

stars!

I was really excited to start Lauren Hawkeye's Uninhibited serial. Her novels are always spicy hot, filled with great banter, a HOT alpha hero and a sassy heroine. That is exactly what we got here with Untamed! I could not get enough of Jasper and Cari!

I loved the premise of this series. When strong and sassy celebrity Archaeologist Cari Dunn encounters threatening messages left on her motel door, she finds herself saddled with a Bodyguard for protection. But while she is upset about having to listen to someone else's rules, this strong and broody man is sex on a stick personified. Their chemistry is fiery and the STEAM is pantymelting HOT! While I did find their attraction super rushed (it seemed like they met each other for a few minutes just a few hours earlier), it is a serial so ainjist went with it. I can't wait for the next one! 3.5 stars! ~Ratula

I would like to thank NetGalley and Entangled publishing for an advanced copy of this book!

This novella does not disappoint! Cari is in danger and the of course "hot" bodyguard is hired to protect her. Use your imagination, he certainly does in the very brief, steamy story. Ends on a cliffy which I imagine it's going to be wrapped up quickly since the entire series is being released rapidly.

Untamed is the sizzling opener to the Uninhibited series. This is part one of a three part serial and it's going to get you all hot and bothered.
Cari is a celebrity archeologist and she's in trouble. She's been receiving threats and to protect her, her producer has hired Jasper as a bodyguard for her.
Sparks fly when Cari and Jasper meet. I loved the dance between Cari and Jasper as she provokes him into giving into his desire for her. And once Jasper snaps and he unleashes his passion on Cari, it will knock your socks off.
I liked Cari. While she's not a confrontational person, she's bold and independent. She wants Jasper and I enjoyed the way she set out to seduced him.
As for Jasper, he's your strong, silent type with hidden depths. We see a little of it in this part of the serial but I'm hoping to see more of it in subsequent parts to the story. I want to learn all of his kinks and what makes him tick. And what better way for him to be Cari's bodyguard than with him being very close to her body. :-)
The story ends with a bang (literally) and one heck of a cliffhanger. I can't wait to get to part two.

Actual rating: 3.5 stars.
<i>Many thanks to the publisher for providing me with an advanced reading copy in exchange for an honest review. </i>

I was a little dubious reading this little serial as I've not read anything by the author before and I generally don't read 5 star reviews because of personal choices.

Going into <i>Untamed </i> I was pleasantly surprised by the way it was written. I had expected it to be a quick serial number with little going on and a quick steamy sex scene but there was plenty happening in this serial.

Dr Cari Dunn is a celebrity architect with a stalker. A pretty crazy stalker as stalkers are want to be. The network she does a TV show for hires a bodyguard to protect her - queue Jasper. A sinfully hot male with an alpha streak - just how I like my males!

As it's a pretty short price of writing everything meshes together nicely with a wickedly good sex scene and a great cliffhanger that leaves the series open for the next instalment which is released a week after this one.

I think the one big thing that put me off a bit was the mention of Christian Grey. Those are two words that will put me off any book but thankfully he was only mentioned once in passing.

We'll see where the next part takes us in this ride.
