About the author

J.S. Marlo spent her childhood in a small French Canadian town, reading and daydreaming stories. One day, she met her hero, a dashing young officer, and followed him back and forth across the country.

The "memorable" adventures she experienced with her young family fuelled her imagination and kindled the dream of one day becoming a published author. When her three spirited children left the nest in pursuit of their own adventures, J.S. gave writing a chance.

J.S. currently lives in Alberta with her amazing hubby, and when she's not visiting her children or spoiling her little granddaughter, she's working on her next novel under the northern lights.

This was one of the best romantic suspense books I read in a long time. It kept me turning the pages and staying up late at night in order to finish it. The characters were realistic and I was rooting for them the whole time. Bravo on a well written book! I hope to see more from this author.

Untamed is the third book in the Duty Bound Series and can be read as a stand-alone. Constable Avery Stone has been demoted and sent to a remote detachment in Newfoundland. While investigating the death of a disgraced officer he meets the feisty single mother Hannah Parker. Hannah, who has been deaf since a teenager, has moved back to her Grandfather’s cabin with her son Rory to escape her past. After an attempt is made on Hannah and her young son’s lives Avery vows to protect them while piecing together the unsolved murder.

For me the love story between Avery and Hannah was very realistic and believable. I liked that Hannah’s being deaf was not used as a weakness and I fell in love with her little boy Rory and the dog Snowflake. The suspense was good and kept you guessing until the end however, there were times when it became hard to follow the story and it moved slowly in places.

Overall it was a good read with good character development but in my opinion could have been better.

This third book in the Duty Bound Series can easily be read as a stand-alone; although Avery Stone and some minor characters from the last part of the book were apparently introduced in the previous one, not having read it did not take away from the enjoyment of this story. The myriad twists and turns of the complicated conspiracy kept me guessing until the very end as to who the villain(s) were as well as who Avery and Hannah really were. The author did a fantastic job of obfuscating the crimes while keeping the reader interested.
