Untamed

Rate this book
Heath
Up here in my cabin in the woods, no one knows who I am and I like it that way. Then she shows up, strutting in heels, tossing her silky, golden hair and smelling like vanilla and honey. She’s exactly the high-maintenance, gold-digging type I’m trying to avoid.
Only I can’t get Violet out of my head. All I want to do is haul her over my knee and see that pretty mouth of hers open with a pant, a gasp, and then a long moan. I’ve been living in the wilderness for a while now. If Violet sticks around, she’s going to find out exactly what it means to go wild.

Violet
I’m a city girl. I’d never been to Vermont before I had to go scout a location for our network’s next reality show.
First thing I learned: rural towns grow ’em big. Powerful, too, with thick, corded forearms and shoulders I could sink my fingernails into. No L.A. boy ever made my pulse race like Heath.
I’ll wrap up this deal and then I’ll leave and never look back. Except each time Heath touches me I can’t remember my name, let alone my sales pitch. And I’m starting to realize that if I seal this deal and get my big win, I might have a lot to lose.


NOTE: Untamed is a hot, standalone romance. It’s the third story in the Beg for It series about the dominant, alpha males in the Kavanaugh family and the strong, sexy women who make them finally meet their match.

Why is this the first book I've ever read from Callie Harper??? Where the heck have I been?



This book gave me all of the tingles. ALL OF THEM!! Not to give you TMI, but...



Honestly, I cannot believe I haven't read anything from this author and I'm wondering how the heck she skipped my attention. Well you've definitely got my attention now, Mz. Harper!!

To summarize, Heath was an absolute hottie! A dreamboat in an incredibly sexy package. He was almost reclusive, living in a cabin up in Vermont. No one knew who he really was and it allowed him to live the simple life he's always dreamed of. Violet was the anti-thesis to this simplicity. She was an LA girl, sent to scout out his small town for her network's new reality show. Let the fireworks commence!

The author gave us two characters who were not only unquestionably hot together, but they were charming, endearing, and easy to root for. From their sizzling instant connection to their fiery chemistry, Heath and Violet gave new meaning to the word "compatible". Don't even get me started on their sex scenes!



This story wasn't deep or emotional or even angsty, but it has left enough of a lasting impact with me to make it qualified for all five stars. Any book that drives me to purchase ALL of the author's other books is a winner to me!!

I want a Mountain Man and I want one now. Right now. If I don't get a Mountain Man I will scream and scream until I am sick. I will stamp my feet, stick out my pet lip and throw a strop and sulk until I get one!

I need one.

Heath aka Heathcliff- do you know I am from proper, actual Yorkshire and I have roamed the wild, windy moors where his namesake THE Heathcliff Earnshaw broodied and smouldered? I think that alone warrants my Mountain Man demand.

Heath, sigh. He's big. Huge. Muscles. Plaid shirted lumberjack. Great with his hands. I want to climb in his lap whilst singing Ilkley Moor Bar T'at (Google it). He can rip my most favourite Aubade knickers off my body and I will buy him a fat rascal from Betty's (Google it).

This book is worth reading just for him.

I snort laughed my way through the first half. Pretty LA lovely Violet in the biggest, coat in the world goes to smallville to scope characters and locations for a reality TV programme. Clown car, high heels and an appletini and it's game on. Although she is definitely not my type. Not at all. Even in the reindeer hat. Well maybe in the reindeer hat, but only then.

Brilliant plot. Funny, funny, funny followed by an oh no moment. Fantastic, amazing sex. Mr C got lucky when I read this one - wink!

How have I not heard of Callie Harper before? I get the impression she would make me chuckle all night whilst showing me naughty pics on her phone and drinking pints of cider.

My favourite Mountain Man excerpts:

"He was built like a solid block of granite, only warm. I could feel the heat radiating off him. I bet he knew how to keep a woman toasty on a cold January night."

"When something worked so perfectly you didn't ask why. You just took off your pants and entered the party."

"Yeah, I'd be growing back my beard. And it would be big. Have beard hear me roar."

"I'm sorry I called you Sir Heathcliff McMoneybags."

A joyful, sexy book. Great characters, and a proper plot. Loved it!

I hate Callie Harper. There, I’ve said it. Hate is a pretty strong word but in this case it is applicable. Callie Harper ruined my life. Here I was, a rather happy and well-adjusted person. Satisfied with my job. Satisfied by my vibrator. Satisfied with my place in life. And here she comes trudging all over my perfect life with her muddy shoes and her asshole mountain man. If I ever see Callie Harper in a dark alley I will knock her over the head with every single sexually frustrated, yearning, desperate feeling I have in my arsenal.



Why? Because she created Heathcliff goddamn Kavanaugh. Builder of wooden things. Destroyer of lusty loins. Ruiner of lives. And the man I’m saving myself for (if there were anything left to save ah-course). So imagine happening upon a man. A massive man with big, huge bulging muscles. An unkempt raw beast. A permanent scowl fixed upon his devastatingly handsome face. An intense stare in his gorgeous eyes that could fell an army with a single glance. And then imagine that stare is fixed on you and then imagine he says: ‘I’d fuck you hard. I wouldn’t be gentle. I’d fuck you rough the way you want it.” And then tell me how anything in your stupid life is worth anything when you don’t have a big mountain man taking you up against a wall at the end of the day? Answer: Nothing. Nothing in your life is worthwhile. Nothing is OK.



Sigh. I guess have to talk about this book now… Not that it matters. Because, again, nothing is worthwhile without Heath. But anyway, if you like your books with angst then you should read this. If you like your sexy times rough and hot and passionate then you should read this. If you like your characters with a little quirk then read this. If you liked reading about quaint communities with a host of funny characters then read this. If you like to be drowned in intense sexual tension then read this. If you like some twists and unexpected turns in your stories then read this one. If you like witty banter, humour and witty one-liners then read this. If you like having your life ruined by a fictional man then definitely read this.



Because without a doubt this has been one of my favorite reads of the year and it hit all the right spots in perfect balance. Absolutely recommended (because I will not suffer alone)

Firstly, she thrilled me with her dominating alpha.
Secondly, she stole my breath with her bad boy superstar.
Thirdly, she's gone and well and truly ruined me with her mountain man.
The she I'm referring to, Callie Harper. Alpha writer extraordinaire, panty melting wizard, and heart melting magician. Each and every time do I pick up a Callie Hart novel do I wonder how she's going to top the one before. Then she does, spectacularly!

Untamed is perfection. Like utter class. Everything fits together, every blast of heat, every draw of angst, every flip of tension and every tug of love, comes together in beautiful harmony, leaving behind a masterpiece.

From the first meeting between Heath & Violet a strong sexual tension builds. My skin pricked from the anxiety of reading these two and following their sexy, blistering hot relationship.
My feelings exploded along the way so many times, from getting super hot under the collar, to swooning so hard I thought I'd melt, to heart pounding, breath stealing moments where I almost screamed at my kindle.

Callie has taken a different turn with Untamed, in that it's one full novel and not set in volumes. Is that better? For me personally, yes. Although Callie has never had a problem keeping her previous books flowing, Untamed has such a powerful pull to it while reading that splitting it up could have lost that?

I honestly can't put my feelings for Heath into words. I have no expressions to fully do him justice. I mean he's a hot, delicious, sinful man mountain. With a body carved out of stone and a dirty, deep voice. But he's also all that and more. He's my favourite so far.. His relationship with Violet is beautifully written. I didn't know how I'd feel about Violet, I'm not a diva fan. But Callie managed to place her in my heart and make me love her. So I fell for the Man Mountain and the Diva. And I did so spectacularly.

A great book from Callie Harper, which I really enjoyed. All of the books in this series can be read as complete standalones and you don't need to have read the previous books first.

The characters in this story were great and I absolutely loved the storyline.

Violet comes across as very high maintenance when we first meet her, certainly on the outside to those that don't know her. But there's a lot more depth to her, and real kindness which we get throughout the book.

Heath, a big, bearded hunk of a man. He likes to take control and feels an immediate attraction to Vi. A craftsman at heart, getting lost in his world, and boy is he good with his hands!!! In more ways than one...

Phone sex!!! H. O. T!!!! Who knew?! The connection between these two characters is deliciously dirty and oh so sexy. In fact al of the scenes between the characters are steamy and swing, but doesn't take away from the overall story.

With just the right amount of humour and angst thrown in this book has a bit of everything! A very enjoyable quick read.

Blurb:

There’s a massive, ripped mountain man named Heathcliff. He’s brooding, bearded, and sexy as hell. Then there’s city girl Violet, a TV producer hungry for a hit show. You’d best not get in the way of her Louboutin heels or make her chip her nails. They both have secrets they’re trying to hide. They’re having even more trouble keeping their hands off of each other. When Violet’s reality show "Hot Off the Grid" starts filming in Heath’s tiny Vermont town, what could possibly go wrong?

Heath
All I want is life out of the spotlight. I’m up here in my cabin in the woods and I like it that way. No one knows who I am and no one cares. Then she shows up, strutting along in heels with her long, sexy legs, tossing around her silky, golden hair and smelling like vanilla and honey. It should be easy to ignore her. She’s exactly the high-maintenance, gold-digging type I’ve steered clear of my whole life.
The only problem is the blisteringly hot sex. Melt down the cabin, end winter and start spring sex. Other than that, I see no reason that my life is going to change at all.

Violet
Where even is Vermont? When I got the call to scout the location for our network’s next reality show, I seriously had to pull out Google Maps. When I first got there, I was counting the hours until I convinced those country bumpkins to sign away all their privacy for the next six months.
Funny thing about these rural places, though. They grow ’em big. Crazy big, if you know what I mean, ladies. There’s this guy. Just thinking about him, I’ve got to stop for a second and fan myself. I’d tell him to get lost only I can’t seem to form words around him other than “yes,” “‘more,” and “I’m going to…Oh!” It must be the orgasms melting my brain. He’s nothing like the type of guy I’m after, believe me, and once I’ve wrapped up this deal I’m never looking back.
At least that’s what I’m telling myself. But each time he touches me I can’t remember my name, let alone my sales pitch. And I’m starting to realize that if I seal this deal and get my big win, we might both have a lot to lose.


Review:
“‘You’re kind of a caveman,’ she teased. ‘I do want to drag you into a dark cave,’ I agreed, dipping lower to lick and suck on her throat. I could feel the vibrations when she moaned, how her desire welled up from deep inside of her. ‘I could keep you here and never let you go.’”

5 caveman stars!!! Another scorching hot book from Callie Harper!

Look I think at this point I may need a Callie Harper intervention! She honestly can do no wrong in my eyes! She’s one of the author I will one click without even knowing what the book is about!! And this book is no different!! Heath, ugh, Heath…. Where do I even begin?? If you are looking for one sexy beast of a male character, then you’ll get exactly that in him!!! He’s brooding, super sexy, and did I mention he has a beard?? Oh yes!! Heath and Violet are beyond perfect together… I’ve fallen in love with plenty of book couples, but this is by far my favorite book couple to date!!! Just stop reading my review and go buy this book!! It’s so worth it!!

After reading Callie Harper's Undone I thought that she created a delicious book boyfriend in Ash Black. Then I met his younger brother Heath and all bets were off. Ash had that sexy rocker thing going on, but Heath is an alpha god and just about everything he did got me hot and bothered.

Heath is six feet five inches of solid muscle. He's got dark hair and dark eyes and facial hair that made him even more attractive to me. He's got the silent, brooding thing going on and he just drove me wild.

Untamed is the third book in the Beg For It series. The series centers around the Kavanaugh brothers and the women who tame them. If you don't know who the Kavanaugh brothers are, I suggest you get started on the series. You've got a lot of catching up to do. Heath seemed to be the least tamable of the brothers. So, you know it had to be someone super special to get under his skin.

Violet, a production assistant for The Fame Network, drives her Mini Cooper into Heath's rural Vermont town to scout a location for a new reality show. Not only does she drive right into a snowstorm. She drives herself right under the illusive Heath's skin.

Heath can't figure out why he's so incredibly attracted to this woman that is clearly the high maintenance type of woman he has spent his life avoiding. As much as he tells himself and even tells Violet they aren't right for each other, every time they get close enough, they attack each other like horny teenagers. It makes for very interesting banter and very steamy make out sessions. Just a note here, Heath is sexy at EVERYTHING he does. So even the way he kisses Violet was enough to get me going.

As Violet explores Watson, she finds she enjoys the country way of life. She trades in her Louboutins for some snow boots. Goes more natural with her make up and starts appreciating things she never thought she would before. Including one hotter than hotter lumberjack (her words not mine), that knows exactly how to handle this city girl.

Heath is a very different man than his rock star brother Ash and definitely nothing like his business tycoon brother Colton. He left his family's life style behind when he escaped to Vermont and never looked back. That's not to say he has no contact with his family. In fact, he's grappling with whether or not to accept Ash's offer to be best man at his wedding. While he loves his brother that whole scene makes him nervous. Then there's Gram, the woman who raised him and his brothers after his mom went off the deep end. He loves her and she's always got some words of wisdom for her grandsons. It seems Grams is always right when it comes to the love lives of her boys.

Anyway, after an awful lot of, we shouldn't be together and we're not right for each other, Heath decides he wants Violet and they're chemistry is smoking hot. No seriously, everything about Heath is like hot, hot, hot. He's beyond an alpha male. He's a caveman and I LOVE every bit of him.

Does everything work out with Heath and his Cali girl? He decides to go for her, but is Violet sincere, or is she one of those girls? You'll have to read Untamed for yourself to find out. I promise Heath will not disappoint. He is just super yummy and this will definitely be on my list of books to reread.

Wow, what a great story! That was the first thought I had after finishing Untamed by Callie Harper. I truly enjoyed reading it, and did not feel at all lost or confused jumping into the middle of a series. (This is book #3 of the Beg For It series) I usually insist on reading books in order, but Untamed can absolutely stand on its own. In fact, I loved it so much I can’t wait to go back and read the first two books!

This is the story of Heathcliff (Heath) and Violet, and of finding true love just when you least expect it. Violet’s very L.A.- influenced self, and Heath’s desire to live “off the grid” could not have been more opposite and yet it worked. Everything fell into place for them. Until it didn’t. I don’t like to discuss plot lines in my reviews, so I will just say yes there is a HEA and it’s a great one. Untamed is so much fun. I had a hard time putting it down, as I was always curious as to what would happen next. I read most of the book with a smile on my face and a warm feeling in my heart, HOWEVER, there is angst in there that left me very unsettled and anxious (as it often does) until all was resolved. There are no major surprises in this story, no huge twists and turns; most of Untamed is quite predictable, but in no way is this a bad thing. Quite the opposite, it works so well and is just a really fun, entertaining story you won’t want to put down.

And the hotness. There is A LOT of heat in this book, sparks fly all over the place between Violet and Heath and it is YUMMY. For me, while the scenes are amazing, and I fell madly in love (and lust) with Heath, I did feel there are just a bit too many of them, one right after the other. I felt like a few of them might have actually been more effective as a fade to black, rather than once again exploring the details. I don’t mind frequent sex scenes as long as they are different from each other, as if you could not replace one with the other. I didn’t feel that in this case; the characters tended to say, or yell, the same things every time, I started to roll my eyes after a while. But, that being said, the scenes themselves are pretty hot and steamy, and I think enjoyable to most readers.

Heath and Violet’s story is told through both of their POV’s, which allows the reader to get to know each of them on a deeper level – how they feel and what they think – and it’s awesome. It just works perfectly. I felt proud of Violet for her growth and maturity during the story and I grew to like her more and more. I loved Heath from the start, and yet I also was proud of him for dealing with certain situations maturely and for learning to look at the bigger picture. The author does a wonderful job conveying their emotions and thoughts to the reader, something I very much appreciated.

I highly recommend Untamed and I am definitely looking forward to the next installment in this series. Thank you Callie Harper for Heath and Violet’s love story.

Absolute brilliance! This series has shaped up to be simply amazing and one of my favorites out there. Callie Harper has become one of my go-to authors in the romance world since I stumbled across this series and honestly, I haven't looked back since. She writes in such a way that is unique, real, raw, gritty, yet sweet and perfect and totally worth every moment. Her heroes are always men we swoon for and heroines we find ourselves rooting for.

Callie Harper is a mad woman when is comes to writing the Beg for It series because it continues to get better and better with each new story and couple that we get. She keeps you hooked from the start. She keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. She brings the steam... the angst... the drama... and the plots that flow seamlessly. This author takes her readers on a the journey that is intense, passionate, and completely captivating.

This is Heath and Violet's story. She's high maintenance and he is a simple man. When these two come crashing into each others lives, there is no stopping the chemistry and passion sizzling between them. Violet and Heath's story was perfect yet flawed but well worth it by the end. And don't forget the sexy times and lots of fun banter between them. Heath is seriously the perfect man and Violet was the perfect match for him in every opposite way.

I highly recommend this book and series.

5 Sexy Stars for Untamed

This book is definitely not boring.


Great storytelling between characters Wonderfully written very entertaining and fast paced and you will not be disappointed.

Heath has been living under the radar for a few years now and he loves his quite life in Vermont. He has sworn off relationships. That is until the beautiful Violet shows up and turns his world upside down. He cannot seem to keep his hands off her. Even though she is completely not his type.


Violet is the one person who can disrupt the life Heath has built for himself when she is sent by her TV network to find a story in Vermont for the newest TV reality show.


This could change everything Heath aka "Sir Heathcliff McMoneybags".

This was such a well played out story. It's a fun, sexy, steamy read that will keep you turning the pages. Highly recommend.

Holy S***!!! I have been desperate to read this book... And it really has lived up to everything i had hoped for and more!!!
Heath is the younger of the Kavanaugh brother's and at age 25 he loves his quiet life in Vermont. Keeping himself to himself, he has made some wonderful friends and life is settled... Until the day Violet comes to town, his life is about to change... Forever!!!
Violet works for a reality tv network and is looking at the people of Vermont for a new show, something that's the compleate opposite of everything in LA and her... Or is it?
This is a brilliant story and follows the journey that is Heath and Violet. With twists and turns that will keep you reading and not wanting to stop, to the mind blowing attraction these two share... It's hot as all hell and will make your toes curl and leave you breathless. A great 10/10 read with a spot on story line that drags you into the story, right along side the characters!!! Written with a wonderful passion, it's perfect in every way! Oh and ladies... Heath comes with a health warning... Yes, he's that hot!!!

So reading this series gets better and better. I love Ash but let me tell you ladies that this hot recluse, solitary man Heath is simply amazing. Reading his domineering and possessive man grow into a man is an emotional journey that will fill your heart.
Violet trying to grow in her field of TV producer lads herself in a place she never thought she would be in.... No where Vermont or Watson. But the biggest surprise of them all is her meeting Heath.
Sexy, suspenseful and passionate as only Callie Harper can write. This the third book in the series is simply perfect!
Heath is that fantasy you dream up. That man that you know would rock your world but is so beyond your reach. Yeah, that is who you get when you think of him.
Love, it isn't perfect but it is what we make of it and this book is exactly what it is all about. Finding that one person that makes you better that fills your heart. Keeps you warms from the inside. That is what Heath and Violet are~ Love.

My long running #1 book boyfriend has officially been replaced by Heath. Oh my goodness! Get a fan or your man, because you'll definitely need some cooling off or attention while reading this book. Breaks, lots and lots of breaks... ;) Callie is the queen of the long seduction. From the moment Violet walked into that bar and locked eyes with Heath, it was intense. I could physically feel the want and need coming from them. And that scene in the truck?! Swoon! I was left begging for the moment when all that passion was sated. We all know how insanely hot Callie's books are! And if you don't, get to reading!

Callie created multidimensional characters in Heath and Violet, as she always does. They had depth, history, and lives outside of each other. I loved learning about their jobs, relationships, and struggle within themselves to find their true happiness. And they were just as wonderful together. I haven't read many couples with such an extreme desire to be near each other. Whenever they were in the same room, it permeated the air. There was no chance of fighting the visceral connection they felt.

Heath and Violet's relationship had disaster written all over it. Both were clearly at odds with each other. Heath was a loner trying to escape his former life, and Violet wanted to make her splash in entertainment by putting him in the spotlight. Or did she? It's amazing what possessiveness will do to one's career. I was excited to see how this battle played out, and I wasn't disappointed. The foreboding was evident throughout, and I could see their worlds crumbling around them. Heath and Violet were equally responsible for their own undoing. It's too bad that they couldn't just stay wrapped up in solitude in each others arms and his cabin instead of going back to real life. Fortunately for us, Callie is a master at bringing her couples back to what's most important, each other. And I appreciated the lack of drama and angst surrounding the fallout from the hidden truths and misunderstandings.

My first book by Callie Harper and it was awesome! City girl meets country boy and the sparks flies, so hot! Totally loved the story and I look forward to reading more of Ms. Harper's books. This is the third book in the series but can read as a standalone.

Love this Mountain Man!

While a bit predictable, I absolutely loved Heath and Violet's story from chapter one. Callie Harper did an excellent job at balancing the humor, angst and sexy between them perfectly.

Little Miss L.A., Violet, sticks out like a sore thumb in the hole in the wall town she ends up in in Vermont. A producer looking for the next big reality show, Violet and her coworker Sam are in town for a few weeks to scope things out. Violet grew up in Jersey, worked hard and landed her dream job in L.A., so she's not one to fail. She's got to find something in this podunk town to make a show.

"I liked life in my small pond, the water smooth and glassy. She was already making too many waves." ~ Heath

Man oh man did I instantly like this guy. He was so no nonsense in his life until it came to Violet, then he didn't know what he was doing. Heath is living low Vermont to get away from everything, especially his family. He isn't who they wanted him to be, so he left to make his own way. Things have been good and quiet, until she comes into town.

"All of a sudden my simple life didn't feel so simple." ~ Heath.

Not a fan of insta-love, this couple had me from the get go. The animal attraction they had for each other was hot and actually pretty funny at times. Although they just met, it seemed like they clicked on all levels. Kudos to Callie Harper, as I feel that is pretty hard to do with characters most of the time. Rarely do I like them both right off the bat.

She turned his world upside down and while you could see what was going to happen from a mile away, I still enjoyed every page of Heath and Violet's story. We are in touch with Ash and Ana as well as getting to know a bit more about Colton.

The book is well written from dual points of view. While it can be read as a standalone, it's more fun getting to know all of the characters. I'm ready for Colton's turn next!

Never in my wildest dreams did I think a big, brawny, hulk of a man like Heath Kavanaugh would steal my heart, but I couldn't have been more wrong. 

Geez, even his name is freaking sexy....

Heath.... *girly sigh*

Heath is a loner, always keeping the Kavanaugh family at a distance, along with their money and drama. Deep down he's a simple man and just wants to live a simple life. He has everything he could ever want - a cabin built by his own hands on a few acres of land where he spends his time doing woodworking and metal sculpting, peach and quiet, and anonymity. Then a feisty little LA bombshell traipses through his small Vermont town, turning his world upside down.

Ladies, this book was hot! I mean, I've read all of Callie Harper's books so far and they all are steamy, but there's something about this one that just makes it hot on another level. Heath is a big man, in EVERY way. He's dominant like we would expect from our Kavanaugh men, but he's so much more. He's most definitely the strong, silent type - rough yet gentle, alpha yet vulnerable, possessive yet sensitive. You instantly want to climb him like a tree (and that's putting it mildly).

And I love watching Violet grow over the course of this book. She thinks she knows what she wants out of life. But hanging out in this small town shows her just what she's been missing in bustling LA. And the fact that she can't keep her hands off of Heath just adds more confusion to the mix.

This is such a beautiful story that will give you all the feels. This mountain man will completely win your heart. I didn't think Callie could top rocker Ash Black for me, but I think if I were forced to choose, I might just have to give Heath the slight edge. 

This series is fantastic and there's still time to catch up on the everything before Colt's book comes out in June. Go get this series! They are all one-click worthy!

When I saw that Callie Harper wrote a book about a sexy beast hiding away from his complicated life in Vermont - I thought where the hell is the purchase button?!?

Especially since I have read the previous books in this series and I was chomping at the bit to get my hands on Untamed, Heath's story. I mean who doesn't want to read about a gruff, mountain man falling in love. Plus, I couldn't wait to meet the lady who brought Heath to his knees!

Just in case you're new to this series, Heath is a complete recluse. He believes he doesn't need any sort of connection to anyone - not his family, society as a whole and certainly not the company of a high maintenance woman. Except all this is a blown to hell when a stranger walks into his friends bar one evening.

Violet is the last person who belongs in his world but suddenly she seems like just the right fit. She came to Vermont looking to develop a show that would make her career; instead she discovers a way of life and a man that she had no clue she desired. She doesn't know if it's going to work long term but she can't stay away or keep her hands of Heath.

And it is freaking awesome. These two light up your ereader and you cannot look away. It's intense. Passionate. RED HOT. But they were also hilarious - their banter kept a smile on my face - I could read about Heath and Violet over and over, everyday.

Untamed is a great romance and a highly entertaining read. I loved it! Callie Harper give me exactly what I craving and more from Heath's romance which is why I absolutely recommend you check it out as well as the other books in this series.

I absolutely LOVED Untamed! I have been dying to meet this mountain of a man, Heath and I was not disappointed. This is the third story within the Beg for it series and it's also a standalone...so no cliffhangers.

Heath was everything and more than Callie said he was! A dirty talking, gentle giant with a side of grizzly bear, if provoked. Heath is the youngest Kavanaugh brother, at just 25 years old. He is the one who has shied away the most from their family's very public life. Heath has sought solitude in the little Vermont town of Watson for the last few years and has built himself a nice quiet life there. That is, until the beautiful and sexy Violet shows up. She has high maintenance written all over her and he knows that he should stay away. But for some reason he just can't!

Violet works for The Fame! Network and came all the way to Watson from L.A., to investigate the possibility of a new reality tv show. She was there to do her job and get out. What she didn't count on, was finding the man of her dreams.

From the instant these two are in the same room together you can feel the intensity of the heat between them. My iPad damn near malfunctioned from the heat these two were radiating. The magnetic pull between these two is absolutely super charged and off the charts. And my God, that man can talk dirty!

The twists and turns, the ups and downs kept me flicking through the pages. I absolutely loved every minute of Heath and Violet's story and I can't wait to find out what Callie has in store for us next!

I was lucky to receive an ARC copy of Untamed by this amazing author and OMG this book is HOT!!
Untamed has characters Ash (Heath’s older brother) & Anna from Undone series.
Untamed pulls you in and is enchanting from start to finish.
Heath is the Youngest of the three Kavanaugh brothers he is rich, lived the city life but hated all the hustle & bustle and now lives of the grid in the small town of Watson, Vermont. He enjoys the quiet modest life he has built for himself over the last four years. But his quiet life is about to be blown to pieces by Violet she everything he has sworn to himself to stay away from City high maintenance.
Violet LA City girl who works for The Fame! Network arrives in snowy cold bad weather no-where-land Watson in search for cast for the reality show and she hates it and can’t wait to get her job done and get back to her city life. The last thing she thought would happen was falling in love with the place and local quirky residents. She certainly never expected to meet Heath the hot sexy mountain man. They both agree they are not a good match for each other but the sparks between them are explosive. The sex scenes are out of this world. But will that be enough to overcome the city verses quiet rural way they live their lives to have a HEA?

Added Bonus you get a sneak peak at Unbelievable which is due for release 27th June. This book is about the eldest brother Colt the CEO of Kavanaugh Industries & sparks are going to fly between him & Caroline.

Especially in a picturesque small town where everyone knows everyone and their business . Everything changes when Violet wanders into town . Looking for locations for her network's new reality television show she meets the town's mountain man . Enter the passionate heat from their very first encounter !

Callie has a way of sucking you into her stories and never letting go ! This is a fabulous love story that will definitely leave you with your next book hangover . The characters are not just likable , they are lovable . I am recommending this book to everyone I know .

I received and ARC in exchange for an honest review!
Wow, this book is fantastic. Heath in the youngest of the three Kavanaugh brothers, and lives as a recluse in the small town of Watson in Vermont. Violet is a born city girl who arrives to scope out the town for a reality television show. She hates the cold and just wants to do her job and return to LA. When these two meet in a bar the attraction is instant. Not to mention the hot sex scenes. There are a lot of obstacles in the way of their HEA.
Callie has done an amazing job and this book keeps the reader enthralled from the very beginning. Worth so far more in my opinion than the 5 star rating. Looking forward to reading the next book which is about the eldest brother Cole and Caroline. Will definitely be getting recommended and 1-clicking in the future.

Every book I read by Callie I fall in love with the male lead and think that he is my favorite......until I read her next book. Now, I really think I am in love with Heath! He is half mountain man, half billionaire, and all alpha! These Kavanaugh men are hotness overload! Heath has always been a loner and when he moves to Vermont to live off the grid it is a perfect fit. Violet is drawn to Heath from the first moment they meet, like a moth to the flame and the heat factor is OFF THE CHARTS! I absolutely loved how they both needed to come to terms with what they wanted out of life. I enjoyed the peek into the brothers we met earlier and how they each interact. Both Heath and Violet are so strong and when they come together they COMBUST! This series is sooooo good and I highly recommend!!!!!

There are times I wonder if Heath ever means what he says, because his actions generally say differently at times, "not my type. Hadn’t I told her exactly that? Right before I’d attacked her in the cab of my truck. I shifted my weight in the seat, the zipper of my jeans pressing uncomfortably against my rock hard ***k." There are times I'm pretty sure Heath appreciates Violet's suggestions, "he ripped my panties right off. That was like the second or third pair. “Maybe I should just stop wearing them,” I giggled, running my hands along his insanely delicious abs." I really liked this book, I loved Heath.

The plot is about a production company coming to small town America to do a reality tv show. City girl, Violet, meets rugged mountain man, Heath & the chemistry is instant from the moment the two are in the same room together. Violet is very sexy, put together, smart & funny but at times what you see on the outside is really not who you are on the inside. Heath lives a very modest & simple life hidden in the mountains & fears that the show will upset his simple life. The ups, downs, plots, & turns where unexpected turning this storyline into a good read. -read by RazzReader with Pop Fizz Clink Read

Hot dang...this book was smoking hot! This grabbed me from the moment Heath and Violet crossed paths, feeling that instant pull towards each other. Their chemistry was off the charts, completely enviable. I loved how they both tried to deny it but failed miserably every time.
The plot in this story was quite clever, being completely original than anything I've read before. I truly enjoyed this book from start to finish. I would recommend it to anyone looking to read a great love story with a lot of heat.

I fell head over heart in lust and love for Heath. I mean seriously...a delicious mountain man that is sizzling that has a way with the naughty talk. YUM. I also adored Violet who fell hard for this man and wanted so much to showcase his hometown. I really loved her vision for the show and how she took the time to get to know everyone in the town. Bonus is that she was a Gillmore Girls fan. These two together were over the top hot. Like get out the fan and ice water hot. I loved their story. BIG.

I give Untamed 5 hearts!
