Untamed is a Tarzan story and it starts out exciting and adventurous with a trek to Africa, finding the untamed, and his taking of Arianna.What ensues is the kind of love we all dream about. Both Ari and Zan would do anything to ensure the other's happiness even if it means sacrificing their own.Ari's character was well developed and I found myself crying along with her. I did find myself wanting to know more about Zan. He seemed to be a complex and intelligent man but all you're given in the story is his desire to be with Ari, and everything he does is driven by that desire and wanting to make her happy.There were many interesting side stories but the Ari/Zan story could have been much more developed in the jungle as well as back home. While I did enjoy the book, I felt myself wanting much more.I recommend this book, especially if you enjoy historical fiction.
