♥♥♥ 5 STARS ♥♥♥
Since book one of this series, I have been hooked to it. I had been waiting for Ree and Dare's ending for quite a while. I was happy when that day finally came. And now that I have finished reading the final part, I can say I more than pleased with the conclusion to this series. It was beautifully done.
This is the final part of the Untamed series and I know I have said this before but, I just can't get enough of this enthralling story. This book started right where Wild at Heart left off. If you have read the previous book, you know how that cliffhanger left up hanging. Now, Dare will do anything in his power to get Ree back and out of harm's way. As well as get revenge on his father.
I don't want to give to much of the story away. It's really best you read every intense moment and twist that occurs. This series has been full of angst from the start, which is what I love about it, and this final part was no exception. I seriously had a hard time putting it down. Secrets are revealed that left me completely shocked.

There is so many things that happened in this last part, and because of that, there was never a dull moment. My emotions were all over the place. I felt such anger, sadness, and happiness. These characters have grown so much since book one, as a result from all their ups and downs. But what I love about them in this one, is that they stay united and fight for their HEA.
A great ending to the series. The writing was as wonderful as always. I don't know how these two authors do it, but they did awesome job with this story and these characters. The ending was beautiful. I was so happy for them. But I've got to say, now I am so intrigued by Archer. I feel like he needs and HEA too. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed. If you love angst in your steamy romances, than this is the series to read.

4 HEA stars
The HEA in Rebel Roused was a long time coming and totally worth the wait. I have been emotionally invested in this series from day one and I couldn't have asked for a better ending for Dare and Ree. They deserve all of it and more after all the trials and tribulations, the pain and suffering and after having to put up with their beyond asshole fathers. The suspense kept us on our toes through the very end but the epilogue totally made it worth it. They got their HEA, they got their revenge and the peace they needed to finally heal. An amazing ending to an epic tale!

"Once upon a time, two broken people found healing in each other's arms and a home within their hearts," she said, completely serious now. "That's the real story, Dare. Our happily ever after."

I wasn’t suppose to be reading this one when I first picked it up, truly I had about 10 books that needed to be read before this one but, curiosity got the best of me and I decided to peak inside and see what it was all about.
Big mistake!
That one peek ended up being a sit down read straight through and forget about everything else kind of “peek”. I was lured right in by the raw gritty beauty of the story.
I like darker gritty stories but I will be honest, I am not a huge fan of books that have tons of profanity in them, drug use and alcohol use not to mention, umm, body use? LOL, either way, it just doesn’t usually appeal to me. I can handle bits of it like any other good reader but usually I am totally turned off by it when it is over done and used but somehow, it just worked in this story.
I think it is one of those where it was needed for you to really feel the emotion of the story. To really get the full picture so to speak. Plus, okay, I really liked Dare. How could a girl not love a struggling bad boy artist?
Dare and Reagan's journey was a tough one. Full of ups and downs, angst, right and wrongs. Danger, passion, you name it, it probably has it in here but again, it worked for the storyline and most of all, worked for the characters.
This was a beautifully tragic tale. So much heartache but so much growth too. One that started out rough and was never easy but I loved them for it because with each new trial, they both grew stronger, better and their story truly was a wonderful one.
Characters I already loved, I loved more (I am talking about your Arch and Rex!), characters I loathed, you guessed it, I loathed even more. I couldn't help but get wrapped up in the whole thing. I am so glad I had all the serials because with the ending of part four, I just might have gone crazy.
These two authors really did create something magical. There is always something to be said about two people who have issues that can come together and be better. Two halves that truly make a whole and truly become complete.
Well done ladies, well done!

FRIGGIN 6 STAR ending to a 5 STAR series.
Dual Review to come soon....
LOVED EVERY MOMENT!!!
Y'all know we are HUGE fans of this series. We have said it once, and we will say it again - this series is going to BLOW up. Like FSOG blow up. Victoria Green & Jinsey Reese have the ability to write a book so full of depth, emotion, cliffhangers (*evil stares* at the authors who are giddy every time they have left us hanging!)
"DARE"ing moments
Catherine: We have seen Dare in his darkest moments and his brightest moments during the first 4 episodes. During this final installment sent of his story, you see a well-rounded Dare. A Dare who knows what he wants and knows he isn't letting it go. Now, that doesn't mean this is a clean-cut story full of roses and sunshine. Dare has his moments. For me, most his moments are swoon-worthy. *NO SPOILERS* I will just share a few of my favorite Dare moments.
Kristyn: I love Dare in this book. I love how he fights for her. I love how him and Archer bond in this book and storm her fathers office. I just love the love that they have for each other.
"All the gods in the world wouldn't be able to save him from my wrath."
I glanced up and could practically see the steam coming out of her ears. "Wow. Sounds very blue blood," I said with a laugh. "Do you think we'll be invited?"
I glanced around the room. "I'm in the hospital?"
He nodded. "We really gotta stop meeting like this," he said with a smile.
"REE"ally eye-opening moments
Catherine: Ree. Ree is such a strong individual. A loving individual. She has never had the relationships that have allowed her to show this side. When you see her with Rex, you get a glimpse of her lack of confidence and her uncertainty. When you see her with Dare, you get a glimpse of true love. "This moment was what raw, real love was all about. It wasn't perfect. It was carnal, painful, beautiful, and even a little desperate." When working with the kids and their art - you get a glimpse of her true passion and calling. I have a TON of REEally eye-opening moments I would love to share, but I will stick with my favorite line from Ree.
Kristyn: I agree with Catherine. Ree grew up with some really messed up stuff happening to her. Her parets are really horrible people. Its really amazing that she still is able to show such compassion and still love so much and with such an open heart. With everything she had been through, Im surprised she wasn't a whole lot worse.
"Dare au naturel. Be still my fucking heart."
"WILDE" additions
Catherine: Dax, Dalia, Dash and the band. Oh I love the Wilde's. (Except Daren... Grrrr!) I won't lie and tell you that this final episode is filled with our favorite supporting Wilde's - but the hinting at them is just enough to keep you going until the next Wilde gets their series. Dalia is my favorite - with her openness and her demeanor being the only girl with this guys. No wait, then there is Dax. When he hits on Ree, I just giggle. He might be my favorite. Oh, but then there is Dash. In a band, hidden stories about his past. Oh geez...
Kristyn: I just cant wait for so much more from this family!
"God, Dare," Dax said as he and Dalia came up the front walk. "Do you ever let the girl breathe?"
"ARCHER" hits the bulls-eye in this one
Catherine: Archer is such a touchy area for me. I want to punch him for being a privileged douche, but he didn't have control over his situation. And then I wanted to punch him for allowing Ree to be as messed up as she was in the beginning, but she is her own person with her own ability to right her wrongs. And then I wanted to punch him for ALL the parts he took in manipulating her, but he sincerely cared for Ree. I think Archer won me over in this installment. Won me over enough to want me to petition Victoria & Reese to write his story.
Kristyn: I loved Archer from the first book. He was such a female version of Ree. Both grew up in a messed up privileged life. Both drowned their feelings in meaningless sex and drugs. There were time that I didn't like him but I think he was the one person who did love Ree before Dare came along. I am excited to see the woman that can take Rees place in his heart.
"Reagan has always been the type to march to her own drum. She'd just spent too much time living life on mute until you came along. I might not be happy to admit it, but you're the best thing to ever happen to her."
"REX"knows best
Catherine: While Rex has never been a lead character in this story, he is one of the most important parts of the story. He shows himself as the glue that holds everything together. He saved Dare when Dare was just a little kid. With saving Dare, he saved the other Wilde's. He took Ree in when she had nowhere to go. "With everything that had happened the past few months, I was more than grateful that Rex had been Ree's knight in paint-speckled armor." Rex is filled with so much wisdom, so much love and so much unending acceptance.
"...What if i make a mistake?"
He shot me a big, lopsided grin. "Let's hope you do. Mistakes are the best way to learn."
"Real power isn't measured by the fire you breathe nor the pile of ashes you leave behind...it's about the hope you inspire."
"ROUSE"ing final thoughts
Catherine:
1) I was GIDDY to see our names in the acknowledgements.
2) The entire 5 part series gets a HUGE 5 STARS for me.
3) Ree's family continued to be a perplexing group, but luckily - there were some pleasant moments for me.
4) I do not understand how EVERYONE has not read this series.
5) I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book!
Kristyn:
I Loved this book so much. I loved the happy ending. I don't even have words to describe how much I loved this book. I cannot wait for more from the Wild family.

5 “One Whole” Stars
Following the development of two people both separately and individually as they navigate the darkness inside of them to come together and really be together in love, in life – it’s one of the greatest joys a romance reader holds dear. Victoria Green and Jinsey Reese accomplished this feat, times one hundred, with the Untamed Series. A series exemplifying what it takes for a story to manifest itself in the hearts of those who embark on the adventure.
All the elements seen throughout the entire series – love, angst, drama, heartache, comedy, passion – presented themselves in Rebel Roused. The dramatic and satisfying ending provided readers answers to our most burning questions as well as further development of the these two main characters we’ve grown to love AND bottom line – I adore these characters!
Rebel Roused picks up where Wilde at Heart leaves off giving us no shortage of excitement and as per usual no stopping the authors from giving us heart-pounding moments of anxiety and worry. Told from both the points of view of Dare and Ree our insight into the feelings of these characters leaves nothing out. While I refuse to give anything away regarding plot, I will say that these two characters have become very special. In my review of the prior books in the series you’ll see my gushing over these two characters. However I feel it pertinent to say Dare and Ree two characters for which I know belong together and whose development and discovery of them has been most fulfilling to read. Separately, Dare and Ree were drowning. Their need for each other coupled with the fact they need someone to share their joy and strife with makes the story all the more purposeful.
One major and impactful difference between Rebel Roused and the other episodes is the constant, unfiltered intimacy between Dare and Ree, an intimacy we get to read about for almost the entire length of the story. Secondary characters in this series are vital to the story as they enhance the elements I’ve come to expect from the plots. It was a nice change to end on the realization of how far these two characters have come by showcasing the lives they intend lead together. To see the focus of the books really highlighting the completion of Dare and Ree’s circle.
These two authors have exposed the raw parts inside these characters, exploited their fears, and made them whole because of it. They humanized them to the point we believe in them so much our hearts hurt when theirs do and we feel the joy when the live it. They’ve done this brilliantly within each book throughout the series making it one the best New Adult serial series I’ve read. These characters have stuck with me and become very special. With each episode giving us more and more including this final installment, we get everything we want as readers. There’s no cliffhanger yet we still want more because we’ve infiltrated their lives and became attached. Thankfully we’ll get more from the point of view of another Wilde brother.
I’m thankful to have found these authors and their addictive series. It’s one I’ll read again for certain and hope very much you’ll pick up and read this series too.
MANY THANKS given to this incredibly kind and funny writing team of Victoria Green and Jinsey Reese for including me in “The Wilde Things” and affording me the opportunity to be a part of Dare and Ree’s unforgettable journey.
Favorite Quotes:
“It held a promise that, from now on, our world was going to be filled with only happiness, laughter, and love. We were going to live the rest of our lives in bright, vibrant color.”
“Searching his eyes, I found only love and truth, and lust. They burned equally bright.”
“He was perfection. I was being painted by a human work of art.”

Rebel Roused
Victoria Green and Jinsey Reese
This is the fifth and final segment in Untamed Journey, I think Journey is the proper word to describe this series, because to me it has been a journey of sorts. Each book has featured it’s own cliffhanger of sorts, there was the “her parents” “the misunderstanding with Archer”, “Dare’s injuries” and of course the holy crap of all “ Ree’s kidnaping.” After starting the first one I waited, week by week until the next one came out, so I could quickly devour it, and then again the wait began until finally the series was over and I am done. I have read them all and completed the journey. I have cried, I have screamed and I have laughed along with Dare and Ree as they struggled to calm their individual demons so that they could have their own Happy Ever After.
I often wondered who was worse, her controlling family, the perfect little Stepfords as they tried to control and manipulate her into being what they wanted so that it could benefit them. Seriously what kind of parents ignore a teenage being raped because it was good for them politically? Who constantly belittles their daughter because she won’t go to law school? Always criticizing her choice of clothing, friends or her lifestyle. No wonder she never wanted to speak to them, I would not either.
Then there was his father, who had abused the family for years and was holding murderous secrets over the head of Dare. He was so scared of this man physically and mentally that he would continue to move his mother and siblings around secretly so that they could have a some what normal life. Who would not be scared of a man that orchestrates a bomb and blows up all of Dare’s art. And then he shoots Rex, and kidnaps Ree. Not to give out any spoilers but it was not a pleasant reunion.
It seems that these two lovers have been to hell and back already. I honestly think that it is time for them to be able to strictly focus on themselves and finally be happy. There are still some things that need to be settled. The relationship between both sets are parents will be ended. It will not be the way any one is thinking. Their will be help from unbelievable sources. Jackson the rapist will finally get confronted as well.
Whether or not it is time for their HEA, well that question will only be answered by reading the book. I have loved this series from the beginning. I think Dare and Ree were so very true to life. Their struggles made me love them more. I loved the way that the authors allowed us into the lives of both sets of families as well. I was surprised at the ending revolving around Ree’s family members. I loved it. I thought this series had the perfect amount of emotional crises, intrigue, suspense and plenty of drama and mystery. The sex scenes were smoking hot and there was the right amount of them. This story was truly a love story, a love journey and I enjoyed every page. I would rate this story a 5/5 and if at the end you read the Acknowledgements and see the name Monica- hey that’s ME!!!!

I absolutely LOVED this series. From the very beginning I fell completely head over heels in love with Dare and Ree. From their meeting in episode 1, their chemistry was off the charts and their relationship was so life altering it was steaming off the pages. Over and over again obstacles come between them - starting with Ree's father not only forbidding their relationship but threatening Dare's livelihood, followed by Dare trying to protect his family and Ree from his father who is released from jail (thanks to Ree's dad) - and their fight back to each other makes every page worth turning.
There was so much more than just their chemistry that made this series amazing. Ree's relationship with her family is non-existant because she refuses to be their "puppet". She wants to follow her passion in art and not her families "political" plans for her life. Ree chooses to seperate herself from her family and is able to fill that void and find acceptance with Dare's family who are there for each other in a way she has never experienced. The only constant in Ree's life is her life long friend Archer. He pops in and out of her life when he is needed and plays such an important role linking Ree's old and new life. On a sidenote - I would love to read a book about Archer.
Throughout the 5 episodes, Dare and Ree's relationship is tested time and time again. Sometimes you aren't sure if they will survive their circumstances let alone their relationship. My heart broke so many times just to be put back together again and again. I went from tears of sorrow to tears of joy.
The final episode finally tied together all of the loose ends that were left throughout the series. One of my favorite parts of the final episode is the Ree is finally gets to let it all out...tell her family everything and find out who is still there for her at the end.
The ending is perfect, I won't ruin it, but it is. It makes every tear, happy or sad, every heart ache, good or bad, worth it.
Thank you Victoria and Jinsey for sharing this story with the world.

Throughout the 5 episodes, Dare and Ree's relationship is tested time and time again. Sometimes you aren't sure if they will survive their circumstances let alone their relationship. My heart broke so many times just to be put back together again and again. I went from tears of sorrow to tears of joy.
The final episode finally tied together all of the loose ends that were left throughout the series. One of my favorite parts of the final episode is the Ree is finally gets to let it all out...tell her family everything and find out who is still there for her at the end.
The ending is perfect, I won't ruin it, but it is. It makes every tear, happy or sad, every heart ache, good or bad, worth it.
Thank you Victoria and Jinsey for sharing this story with the world.

Well, they say all good things come to an end and in this we reach the end of the road with Ree and Dare.
I’m Gutted!!!
Rebel Roused is a fitting end to what has been an enthralling series – it takes you through an entire rainbow of emotions but ultimately delivers the finale that Ree and Dare deserve.
I have no desire to give away any spoilers, having invested your time into reading the last 4 books you deserve to experience this for yourself.
But what I will say is that as an avid reader, this series has had my imagination hooked since I read the first page of the very first book. It evoked an image in my head of what I thought Dare and Ree looked like, and with ever instalment I have felt like I have been meeting up with old friends!
In this book, you will run the gamut of emotions, secrets are told and loyalties begin to shift. Greed and status mean nothing to some and yet mean everything to others but most of all, what you thought you knew will be blown away.
The strength of the love they have for each other is tested, and the power that others have over them is flexed but this is the book where their world finally gets to see that they really are “Two Halves, One Whole”
Jinsey and Victoria – Thank You – the tale has been told not only with eloquence but with attitude – I adore Dare and Ree in equal measure and I have a little bit of a hankering that I would love to hear more from the rest of Wilde Family – Dash (his mysterious woman) and his band “No Man’s Land” and the twins Dalia and Dax – pretty please ladies!!!

It's over=( I could cry! I wanted an ending now I want to start all over! This series will go on my favorites of 2014 list. It was that good. It had every element I look for in a book. Plenty of drama, lots of hot scenes (lots), over the top love for one another (my personal fav!), dark topics (no spoilers from me!), and an HEA! Got to have that!! Read this series!!!!

If the authors werent two chicks, i'd kiss them on the lips !!!!!
OH MY GOD !!!
I LOVE THIS SERIES
I was only supposed to review the first book in this series/Serial .... I asked for the rest of them and the authors were kind enough to give them to me.
I think i may love Dare more than my husband. Dont tell my husband.
Dare and Ree are amazing characters. This story was brought to a close so nicely it makes me want to jump up and down but cry because they will no longer be with me.
They gave me what i was looking for in a closing book. It wasnt dragged out into 400 serials, 5 was a nice number to have to get the story told. Each one was better than the last.
This last one made me smile, and it made me tear up. There was hope, love, happiness and sadness. It was written very well and the grammar and spelling were perfect.
I dont even know how to tell you how much i loved this story. Ree, is an amazing woman. I hate most women. They just arent my thing. Ree, omg ... shes awesome, she is soooo my thing. She has definitely got issues with her family and her past because of her family but shes is one strong woman and with Dare by her side she can conquer it all and she does. I absolutely love her.
Dare, well damn ... hes big and tall and sexy as hell and i want him for my very own. He absolutely has issues with his family and past. But with Ree by his side, and with a little bit of scary stuff in between, he gets the job done and gets to have his life and love but not without the fight of his life.
the side characters are amazing and i adore his brothers and sister. I really hope they are getting books of their own. They definitely have stories to tell and i want to hear them. Maybe Even Ree's brother and sister, though im sure they had the same home life as Ree, so maybe honorable mentions in other books related ??
You know how you have that author, that it doesnt matter what she puts out there you will read it, no questions asked ? Well these girls are on my list ...im reading what they are writing.
and i have to say, i love how they address the public a bit after the story is told and just appreciate the fans. They are definitely awesome. So publish it ladies ... im definitely buying it.
This was probably my favorite out of the 5 though i really really loved all 5.
I would absolutely recommend this series ... i'd shout it from the rooftops !!!
Im actually sad that its over now

Oh wow. I don't even know what to say.
The first quarter of the book almost gave me a heart attack.
The second quarter filled my heart with hope and love and everything positive.
The third quarter ripped all that right back out.
The final quarter put a bandage over my heart and kiss my forehead.
This emotional roller coaster ride did all kinds of things to me. It messed with my mind and my heart.
I'm in love with this series and the character (especially Dare and Ree!). I love how these two love birds found their way together over and over again in every single book. Nothing could tear them apart. They're each others soul mates! Their love and need for each other is raw and pure. I'm literally jealous of fictional love.

With everything that has happened alone in Rebel Roused, for a short time I was convinced there won't be a happy ending for my favorite couple. Turns out they did! An even better HEA than I could even have imagined.
I'm so sad that this series is over now, that I won't get to read more of Dare and Ree's adventures. But on the other hand I'm glad because it can only mean one thing - the bad guys are finally gone for good! And the two can finally live in peace with Rex and Phoenix! I got extremely teary eyed in that very last chapter. It's exactly what they needed. I wish them the very very VEEEEERRRRYYYY best. I hope the babies will turn out just as amazing as their parents

ARC provided in exchange for honest review.
Beautiful and gripping wrap up for Dare and Ree, with no shortage of drama and angst.
I have loved every minute of this series, with all of the emotional ups and downs that Dare and Ree have gone through. This book picks up right where Wild at Heart left off, and while it's definitely non-stop action, you can't help but get upset at what happens to Ree, courtesy of Dare's father. But because of that, two enemies come together to present a united front (considering one enemy is responsible for the situation Ree is in). Without giving anything else away, revenge is exacted and there is a HEA. Heaven knows that this couple definitely deserves it!

As we reach the final installment of UNTAMED Series, I have a sad feeling I will not read about Dare and Ree's epic love story.
I am a hands down super fan of Victoria Green and Jinsey Reese work. This amazing ladies have delivered an incredible series full of Love, Hate, Passion, Thriller, Compassion and Hot Sex.
Dare and Ree have been thru so much, but is not over yet. As we left off, Darren Sr. took Ree as his hostage to punish his son. Also Rex had suffer some injuries while protecting Ree.
Can Dare save Ree from the hands of his evil father? Will Rex be able to be saved? Will Dare and Ree finally have their HEA they finally diserved?
All this questions can be answer by reading the book.
I recommend you to read incredible series.

So this is it. The end...I'm such big fan of "Untamed" series and do I need to say it that I love it from first to the last word.This series is on my kindle collection "to keep". This was fun and fast read and I'm so in love in Dare from the start -perfect guy and Ree was just a girl for him. Anyway, I'm more than sad that this series ended but it was one of those perfect heartwarming end and I was so happy that I had honor to hung out with Ree and Dare trough past few months and also that I had chance to meet perfect girls Victoria and Jinsey trough this books.
"You're my Phoenix." he said, his lips smoldering my skin. "And I'm yours.
Two parts. One whole. Never forget that."

WOW!!!! I wasn't wrong when I said that this is the best contemporary romance I've read in a while. I'm so glad I have the whole series before starting to read the 2nd book, otherwise I would have probably lost my hair and my sanity wondering what the heck happened to them. I LOVE THE STORY!!!! I think it was awfully convenient with what happened to Jackson, but that's fine... I'm just very very glad of the ending of their story. Including their "dual miracle"... Yey!!! If I could give this series more than 5 stars, I TOTALLY WOULD! That's how much I really really LOVE the story!!!! :D

if there was ever a series to fall into my lap that I one hundred percent love, it's this one.
I picked up book one as a free read and fell head over heels in love with Ree and Dare. Never has a free read drawn me in like this one did.
Not only were Dare and Ree hot as hell but the story line was thrilling and kept you wanting more from book one all the way to book 5. And with no love loss because I have kindle unlimited.
a for sure must read. I Dare you not to fall in love.

Review to come but in the meantime this book was, just like the rest, awesome!

This was a great series! I don't know why they made them 5 books, one book with 5 parts would have worked also but still great series

I'm a mess of emotions right now. Review to come.

In my opinion Rebel Roused is the best of the Untamed Series. Rebel Roused is full of pain in more ways than one. Dare has to deal with his worst nightmare and deal with his past. This book is full of action, suspense and pain. Ree has to deal with her new present. Dare and Ree finally deal with things together and clears up any misunderstanding. In my opinion the epilogue is the best part of the story. I read in Untamed: The Complete Series.

Untamed Series.
The series was so hard to put down. I did think there was way more sex then necessarily needed to make the books worth reading.

“I want to color your world, Ree.”
Rebel Roused picks up right where the last installment, Wild at Heart, left off. Ree has been kidnapped and Rex attacked. Victoria and Jinsey sure know how to do good drama and keep you on the edge of your seat. I think this book even more than the previous ones had me sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to see how they would get their Happily Ever After. I feel like I have been through so much with these two people and I desperately wanted them to work through all their personal issues and come to terms that nothing mattered except the two of them and how they feel for each other!
“We weren’t making love. We weren’t fucking. We’d reached a completely different plane. For the first time ever, we really, truly were one.”
While this book was super sexy I really enjoyed the fact that in this one the sex seemed to take a backseat to plot and story development! Ree and Dare have great chemistry and that definitely comes through but more than that I feel this one was really emotional. I will say I am glad to have a conclusion to this story and I believe that originally this was going to be a 6 part series I personally and glad that they wrapped it up in 5 with the last book a bit longer than the others.
“I’m far from perfect, Ree, but I’m all yours. Forever.”
Overall, as a story and a series Victoria and Jinsey told a great love story with tons of hotness weaved in. In the beginning of the series it was hard to love Ree because of all her personal problems but as the story unfolded my attachment to her only grew. Dare as a Book Boyfriend is totally swoon-worthy and this serial overall defineately is worth the read!

There are many reasons why I love to kick back with a book and just read. Books always open a whole new world for me; whether it be a mystical land, a comical read, or just a pure, honest love that strikes you down to the core and warms every part of your heart. The latter is exactly what Victoria and Jen give you in this series.
Nothing could prepare me for the ride that I was about to embark on when I started the Untamed series. Like always, I knew that it was going to be a great book but I didn’t know level of greatness until the end. There was never a moment that I wasn’t fully enthralled and there was never a moment where I wasn’t fully in love with Dare and Ree. From their disastrous beginnings to their wonderful end, I was with them emotionally the entire way. I found myself clapping at scenes and crying at others.
The last part put me through the wringer to say the least. My heart had stopped at the end of the fourth book and wasn’t revived until later in Rebel Roused. It was almost as if I couldn’t live if Ree and Dare were apart. A little dramatic? Yes, I know – but kinda true.
I don’t think that I could praise this series or Victoria and Jen enough, nor do them justice for being amazing authors. I hope they know how wonderful they are together and how amazing they are for bringing Dare and Ree to life in my life.
I am excited to see what more these two produce…even if my heart can’t take it. ☺
