Holy cheesy Alpha on a stick!!!

Why do I doubt Ms. Wright? I have never disliked a book of hers as she always brings it!

This was the last installment of the Phoenix Pack series and I loved it. I wasn't sure how Dominic would come across as a mate, and when I saw that the description said they weren't true mates I was unsure how much I would like the story. I should have known better. Ms Wright keeps Dominic's cheesiness but redirects it and shows his inner self which does not disappoint.

I liked that Mila was a unique character and that she had true mate ho didn't recognize her and that she had moved on as much as possible. I liked seeing how that played out in the storyline. Her pride and family made for a great secondary cast with unique personalities...(hint hint - Could be another series?)

Once again the story is full of chances and changes as well as character development. Add in some crazy danger and quirky humor and Ms Wright totally won me over. I cant wait to see what she comes up with next.

Disappointed doesn’t even begin to explain how I felt about this book. Honestly there were three emotions I felt reading this book:

1. Disappointed

2. Bored

3. Annoyed

I am so, so tired of the “we’re not true mates” plot I really don’t understand why this author keeps doing this. Legit, the main reason I read shifter/werewolf romances is because I love the idea of there being a soul-mate, someone who is your second half and it’s what I used to love about her books too. But these last few books have been so frustrating for me because suddenly the author wants it to be about not being with your one true mate, and with this one she knows who he is but decides she’s going to give him up and not bother which…makes zero sense. If the author’s going to keep going in this path, I’m probably going to stop reading these books.

I didn’t feel connected to Dominic and Mila’s romance at all. Yes the sex scenes are hot but I didn’t believe they were perfect for each other. I feel like they were so interchangeable, meaning I didn’t see or understand what really made Dominic perfect for Mila and vice versa. It could’ve been anyone switched into their roles and I wouldn’t have even noticed or made a difference. Also, this book just felt so boring and drawn out. It certainly didn’t need to be as long as it was. I had to start skimming in the end because I just couldn’t get though more details about this drawn out “who’s trying to kill Mila” sub-plot.

The epilogue was cute but honestly there are so many damn kids that I couldn’t even keep up with who was who’s kid and whatnot. I’m also curious to when this new werewolf series will take place, before or after the epilogue since the epilogue takes place almost 10 years in the future. I’m happy this series is over and while this definitely isn’t a favorite for me, I’ll still hold most of these books close to my heart.

OUTSTANDING... Suzanne Wright tells a story that is easy to put yourself in. You can feel the love grow throughout the book.

Untamed Delights is the final book in the Phoenix Pack Series (a single tear slides down my face). I have waited a long time to read Dominic's story and Ms. Wright didn't hold any punches! I found myself giggling at Dominic's cheesy lines and nodding when he'd met his match in Mila. I enjoyed the characters, which have been rich with depth from the first novel I read from Wright. The writing is consistent with the other books of the series and lures you into the shifter world, allowing you to "see" everything unfold before your eyes. The pacing was perfect. The dilemma that the main characters faced was uniquely theirs. I liked the mystery that trailed through the story and left me with an open mouth near the end. It was great to have all the characters make appearances and I felt that the ending really brought closure to a well written, well thought out series. I am a fan of S.W.'s writing and look forward to anything she writes in the future.

The problem I have with Suzanne wright is I can't pick a favorite book, favorite hero, favorite heroine, or favorite joke. I love all her books. The hero was PERFECT. I love that Domonic didn't make Mila look like a fragile woman. He protected her, and was possessive but he didn't smother her, didn't take her choices from her. I like that. Also your heroines are awesome as well. They are fierce, and just as possessive and protective as the heros. They are not weak and they are smart and funny. Mila didn't let anyone walk over her, and shes basically surrounded by men. Shes down to earth. I hate when other authors try to write heroines as strong and independent in one chapter but the next so weak and in need of the hero in the next chapter. Ugh, that's so aggravating. All the females in every book have been strong, fierce independent women through all their books. Not just in the first chapter. I also really love the humor, I laughed so many times reading this book. The climax, the villains, the setting, everything was A+++ As always. I also liked that you shocked me with the villain. I was really shocked. Im really good at knowing who the bad guys are before the end of the book/movie when they are revealed. When you can shock me I love you even more. I also love the concept of imprinting. Especially for Domonic. True mates is awesome but since Jesse story I was totally with imprinting. It's like the ultimate choice. Domonic story was very touching. Its one of the reasons I'm glad Mila isnt his true mate and she chose him over not just her true mate but also over her arranged marriage. When you are technically forced to be a substitute for someone else instead of yourself, you were never really picked or shown how important you are so I liked that Mila picked him, forsaken everyone else. This book is A++++++++++++++++++++ 10/5 stars.

I’m so torn! I loved this book but I’m so very sad that this series is now over! I absolutely adore Dominic and I was super excited for his story finally... and I wasn’t disappointed. He and Mila are perfect together and the story kept me hooked the whole way through. I sincerely hope we see more of these characters reappearing in other books down the track!

I absolutely loved this book! I was sow excited that Dominic finally found the one and loved the guys paying him back with cheesy lines!! The only bad thing is the series is over, and it is my favorite shifter series ever! I can’t wait to see what Wright has next!

I am a huge fan of shifter books, and I have a read a lot of them. The allure of these books, for me, is the mates chosen by fate. I love the idea of a soul mate.... somebody, that is made especially for you. But most of the shifter books out there, are very juvenile. Unfortunately, this book also felt the same as the other crappy books out there.

I really, really wanted to like this book. Suzanne Wright has a wonderful way with words, and she writes without a flaw.

But I feel that her plots leave a lot to be desired.

Suzanne Wright has the best back stories and best beginnings. I simply love the blurbs on her books. I become excited to read the books, and then somewhere, 1/3rd way, it all crashes down.

The largest problem I had with this book, was the imprinting over fated mates. I understand imprinting when the fated mates are dead, or they are criminals or evil.... but choosing imprinting over fated mate, just for the hell of it, makes no sense to me. Fated mates are supposed to better, in all sense, than the imprinting pair. But in this book, there are more couples introduced that are imprinted, than the actual mated couples. .

Everyone is imprinting here and there. And unnecessarily, hurting a lot of different people out there. Even if the imprinted couple was in love, and if one of them found a true mate, wouldn't the other person want what is best for them. Especially, if the true mate is supposed to be your cousin. And in this case, both Adele and Joel have true mates out there. Why would they chose to be in the relationship and hurt their mates, when love for their true mates is suppose to be far more powerful than for their imprinted mates?

Other thing that bothers me is the instant love Dominic feels for Mila. Why? She is not his true mate. There could be attraction, yes. But love?

And there are quite a few discrepancies and contradictions. The inconsistencies in the story and the characters bother me a lot! There are few plot holes in there too.

I didn't really like Mila or Dominic. Dominic is too obsessive, possesive and insesitive. Mila on the other hand, is conflicted, weak and cowardly. When I don't like the main characters, the story seems to fall apart for me. In the last few pages, the story seemed to stretch on....

Also, there were so many cliches and stereotypes introduced, that, at few places, I felt like I was in a soap opera... Like, guy friends whose sole purpose is to make the mates jealous, jealous, slutty exes, assassins, lots and lots of misunderstandings, extremists groups that are trying to kill random wolves etc... These elements are introduced to bring in the element of drama! But it felt overdone to me....

In conclusion, I would recommend this book to Wright fans, but I don't think it is for everyone.

I have been waiting for Dominics book since I first read feral sins..All I got to say is that she does it again.Dominic and Mila were perfect for each other.I loved how Mila gave Dominic a run for his money and fought for her,and I loved how she always understood him and he was always
her choice,which he needed to feel that from her.I don't want to say to much and give anything away from this story. I highly recommend this book.

Perfect way to round up the series. Suzanne did Dominic so much justice with his story. Wonderful interactions, humour and love. As always, plot twists and action throughout the book. I’m not one for rehashing the plot so give yourself a treat and buy this book and devour it. Beautiful epilogue which rounds up this series.

I tried my hardest to read this book as slow as possible because I did not want this series to end. But alas it must and we end it with everyone’s favourite cheesy flirt Dominic and Pallas cat Mila. If you’ve been a fan of this series from book one then you have been waiting impatiently for Dominic’s book and Suzanne Wright doesn’t disappoint us. Dominic stays true to his character while showing us many new layers. Mila is the perfect match for Dominic, she’s strong and independent but still has a vulnerability to her that she feels safe only showing Dominic. And I love her reactions whenever Dominic uses one of his cheesy lines on her. I also really liked that they weren’t truemates, it was really nice how they completely chose each other in every way.
Absolutely loved the epilogue even though it signalled the end of one of my favourite series. Looking forward to my next Suzanne Wright book!

4.25/5 stars

Really enjoyed this final installation in the Phoenix pack series. I've grown to love these wolves so much.

So excited that Wright is going to write a series about the pallas cats pride! They are adorably vicious and I love it.

Overall, this book was well-paced and the romance great. No significant typos and I felt like Dominic was just the right wolf for this series to end with. Also, the epilogue was satisfying!

The crazy ex gfs well...not so great but it felt on par for a Wright book. Lol just once I'd like for an ex bed buddy to be normal and ok with her ex moving on but well....some of these psychos reminded me of Meryl from BLL LOL.

All in all, a fantastic reader and I think long-time fans of the Phoenix pack series will enjoy this final book (and those cheesy one-liners haha).

Wolf-shifter Dominic Black and pallas-cat-shifter Mila Devereaux forged their own present and their future by imprinting. Ironically, their true mates were not meant for them.

Dominic is by far my favourite male character in the series. His notoriously cringy, deliberately cheesy lines are so hilarious, it makes reading such a pleasure. Mila is a feisty go-getter. She's beautiful with a voice of an angel. Their mutual attraction went beyond the physical. They built complementary trust and eventually mend each other's hearts.

Suzanne Wright's social consciousness bleeds into her stories. She writes interesting family saga; provocative humans (& shifters) disagreements and interactions. Her stories also reflect peoples' prejudices, the resilience of human spirit and love everlasting.

This series ends on a high note. I thoroughly enjoyed the sensual, crazy and exciting characters. The gripping action-packed scenes and also their fascinating mountain abode.

This series is definitely a keeper. I can't recommend this enough. Five stars.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy from NetGalley. My review is honest and impartial.

I received an advanced reader's copy of Untamed Delights by Suzanne Wright from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have read other novels by Suzanne Wright previously so I did have high expectations for a solid read and, happily, was not let down by Untamed Delights!

Overall, I enjoyed this novel and I found it to be well written and the plot was fast paced. The primary characters' romantic start was a hilarious bar meeting (where all great romances begin), and their banter throughout the novel constantly made me laugh out loud. Add that to the hot steamy scenes, an entertaining plot, and equally strong secondary characters and it was just a good, fun read.

While I did love this book I was disappointed in the amount of telling vs showing. I’m not used to Suzanne Wright books being not detailed like that. I love that Dominic found someone like Mila, but I was bothered by how the pack continued to treat Dominic despite knowing in part pieces of the real him. I didn’t like how they made him out like this lady’s man. Also the issues with the past fling that was crazy. Mila is a great person for Dominic. I completely understood exact,y why Dominic felt the way he did about mates and such. Honestly though I kept hoping that Mila and Dominic were true mates, but on the flip side Dominic ends up loving the relationship as it is. I loved seeing Dominic come out of his shell but also be possessive. Allowing someone to become important to him,

Overall this was a great book, but I find myself still wanting more time with the packs! I hope there will still be more.

<i> Thank you to the Author, Publisher and Netgalley for this book to read for free in exchange for this review. All opinions expressed in this review are mine and mine alone,</i>

Finally cheeky Dominic gets his own HEA!! Dominic has been a strong character in the previous books in the Phoenix Pack books,,, but that is mainly because he is driving the newly mated males crazy with his cheesy come-ons.

I am so glad that when he finally met his match, she was just that his match! Mila gives him a run for his money in the sass department, but like Dominic she is a strong character

I can’t believe that we are at the end of the road in The Phoenix Pack Series. And what a fantastic journey it has been.

Mila Devereaux and Pallas cat is contemplating an arranged mating and moving all the way to Russia. Her cat is peeved and needs healing but going all the way to Russia seems a bit extreme. But a certain wolf will get in her way.

I really liked Mila, SW once again gives us an awesome and kickarse heroine and yet not the same cookie cutter that you would expect after all 8 books.

Dominik “Lothario” Black his second name says it all really. He has his reasons and he never led the women on he was always straight up front about everything. But sometimes for me personally it was hard to read about all his conquests. He is the last wolf standing in the Phoenix Pack.

Good thing Mila is so sure about herself and has good self-confidence.

I also really liked Dominik there is a darker side to him but sometimes I wasn’t always on board with his opinions and attitude. He can charm a nun out of her habit. He is the master of every situation and strong and for me an alpha-hole.

These two sure do have chemistry and at the beginning I felt that was all they had. Mila sure did make him work for it though so there is that. I think these two did suit one another.

SW never writes boring plots and it always unique, entertaining and like being part of a family. Here once again it was no different. The pace was perfect in this one so no complaints from me there.

In the end I can say that this series has had great development it never felt stagnate in any way or form. A must read for every single book. So if you haven’t started the series you are missing out.
The last book in the Mercury Pack shall be out this year and then the next Dark in You. What else are you going to bring us SW?

I enjoyed this book and was excited to finally see Dominic met his match. I Liked seeing his mate stand up and turn his cheesy pick up lines back on him. Their story followed the typical format of a nondescripts not forming until people were near death, but that was expected. I enjoyed how the characters stayed true to themselves, yet compromised to make their relationship work. I also loved the epilogue, so we could seesaw everyone's family turned out, even through it was bittersweet.

This book was everything. Funny, sexy and action packed. I love the shifter in this series. This was so satisfying and full of awesome characters.

Mila and Dom were not who I was expecting for each other but they really feel perfect. They're not true my
mates but that doesn't always matter in this universe. Dom has really grown since we first met him. He's still a silly man child but he can also be serious at times.

I really love the books in this series but often have to be in the mood for them. The author has a template for the books in which the hero tends to be annoying and the heroine gives him an appropriate nickname. With the first in the series, I thought the nickname was cute. Ie Flintstone, Popeye. You get the idea. With each subsequent book and nickname, I think it's less cute. It's actually my major issue with the series. I don't mind a nickname if it fits. But not every woman is going to nickname their guy, especially these strange or silly nicknames. I feel the author found something that worked and never thought to go beyond that. Because of this opinion, I usually have to wait awhile before I can read the next book or reread the series. Does this effect my review. Yes, I'm taking 1 star away from an otherwise wonderful book because the nicknames knock me out of the plot. It's a personal opinion and one you may not agree with. I still very much recommend the series and the book. You will love the authors unique take on shifters.
