#AD Book Review: Untamed by Caitlin Crews

Untamed is published by M&B Dare and written by Caitlin Crews. Lucinda Graves, an international business woman  who works for a company that wants to buy the hotel resort located on a private island owned by Jason Kaoki.  He is already a billionaire who has sent 4 of her colleagues packing minutes after they try to persuade him to sell his island.  This time, however, he is intrigued by the sassy, determined red head and wants to see how far she will go in her quest to get him to sell. He sets her a series of challenges which are both challenging and risqué. She rises to each one and the chemistry between them deepens. 

This is a novel about two characters who are driven to succeed, not looking for love or relationship but sort of fall into it. Most of the book focuses upon the sexual rather than emotional relationship but the last few chapters really develops their characters/relationship. I’m not sure if I enjoyed this novel or not. The challenges Lucinda undertakes are childish and somewhat embarrassing. After initially standing up to Janes she seems to acquiesce to his every demand and is a bit of a wimp, which goes against the Dare brand ideal of a strong independent woman. 

I received this novel from Mills & Boon via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
