It's taken a lot of therapy, some tears, and a few beers for Antony Ramos to get to a good place after a disaster in Afghanistan wrecked his world. He's content with his job as a CID agent, investigating crime and keeping up a good play boy façade, but retirement is a few short years away, and he needs to look ahead.
Lesley Prosser is a quiet sort, which suits her well as an analyst in the Army, where she makes sense out of disparate bits of information. She's had less luck with her personal life, and after a disaster of a relationship, she opts for safe and steady. Even if it's boring.
A close dance ignites the flames between them, but work calls when Antony's friend and coworker has been drugged. A chance meeting on post brings them back together, and they navigate an investigation, their jobs, and the attraction that consumes them both.
Their worlds collide when his past and her present threaten their future. Antony has to battle old memories to find peace within himself from the one person that destroyed it years ago, and trust that Lesley can help him tame those demons.
And when Lesley comes face to face with danger, she has to accept that she doesn't know everything, and trust that Antony will find those missing pieces.
This was one steamy read. I was thoroughly invested in the relationship between Anthony & Lesly. It was gripping, sensual and overall loving. The inclusion of mental health specifically relating to Men’s mental health is often brush over but in this book we get to see Anthony deal with his struggles. It was so well executed and validating. This story will pull you in and you will get so invested it’s not even funny. The whole investigation had me feeling like a detective trying to piece things together. The ending was satisfying. I’ve been looking forward to read this and I’m glad I finally did. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
When I saw that Kim Delaney, the author of Wayward (Book 1 in A Soldier’s Heart series), had written another book in the series, I jumped to read it! The first story was amazing, and the second, Untamed, did not disappoint. In fact, I’m pretty sure the romance between Lesley and Antony left scorch marks! Very much looking forward to more from this author.
