Wild at Heart, book four of the Untamed Series, takes readers on another wild Dare and Ree journey through the roller coaster of their lives. This installment picks up where book three left off with Dare fighting for his life while Ree fights to get to him battling her own demons and the urge to cope in the only way she’s known her entire life. Fighting. Battling. Limits being tested. Dare and Ree embrace for the fight of their lives against two people they should never in their lives have to face.The unthinkable act of violence leading Dare to where he is at the start of the book begins to unravel when Ree arrives in New York City. More secrets are revealed as questions are asked while danger lurks around every corner. A web of deceit, corruption, and treachery surround Dare and Ree. The perception of the lives they lead and the actual truth jumbled in the minds of the public, twisted by a heinous man giving only Dare, Ree, and the readers the truth. Can the truths uncovered finally give them peace?This book shows the growth of this heroine by leaps and bounds. She finds strength in herself to stand up to the most formidable opponent in her life. She’s tested tremendously, her love for Dare supporting her stand against herself and her foe. Ree become a much stronger woman in this book and it was awesome to read.Dare makes choices in this book that at first I didn’t agree with but reading further understanding those choices and the reasons why makes him that much more alluring. His protective nature and safety he provides to those he loves make him the man we want. We want that feeling of protection even if it causes a separation we don’t agree with. He’s man of his word and I love that about Dare.As in the nature of this series, there is no shortage of angst. The characters spend time apart in this installment creating desire thick with sexual tension. Wrapped with the love of each other and the art that drew them together at first and now binds them even more securely, Dare and Ree’s moments of passion are so beyond hot. Coupled with the acceptance Dare reaches of Ree not only himself but the reader are left in awe of her. The secondary cast – Wilde family members – are present again, although not as much, still making a big impact. Of course it wouldn’t be complete without the two villains of the story. With no redeeming qualities in either man, the conflict ensuing because of them ignites a fire in the reader, especially when we start losing those we care about.The Untamed series is simply addicting. The characters are real people living in a world of hurt; their fighting against time, against themselves, and against people who should have their best interests at heart. The dynamic that has grown between Dare and Ree amazes me, the strength they pull from each other. It’s evocative and edge of your seat reading. And yes, there’s a cliffhanger. Embrace the cliffhanger! It’s tempting and fun making you fully invested in the journey of Dare and Ree.
