Mila Devereaux is a cat shifter whose one true mate has imprinted on another female. Struggling to be at peace, she entertaining the suggestion of an arranged mating until an irresistible playboy and delicious bad ass wolf makes Mila’s fantasies come alive again. He is an expert at making women shed their inhibitions, but for the first time Dominic is feeling more than a fling by a female who makes him think of forever and he won’t be satisfied until he has it.

‘The Phoenix Pack’ series is ending with a bang as this splendidly suspenseful, explosive, exciting, wickedly sexy, and charmingly funny romance keeps readers glued to the pages. The hero and heroine are strong, bold characters that stand out, have lots of juicy, electrical chemistry but also have some emotional vulnerabilities that makes it easy for readers to connect with. The passion and emotional angst flows from the pages and readers can feel the depth and heat of both as this couple comes to life.

The romance of this story provides lots of entertainment in the form of splendid suspense, charm, steamy passion snarky wit and quite a few chuckles due to the quirky personalities and delightful abundance of wonderful characters. But the plot is also further enhanced by some deadly, nail biting excitement and suspense of a group of shifter hating humans manipulated by a ‘rank’ human and let’s not forget the seeming unending assassins popping up everywhere. Readers can’t help but love this couple as they are held hostage by their story in which shadows and secrets from their pasts threatened to destroy everything Dominic and Mila are fighting for.

This book is so bittersweet for me. I’ve been with this series since the very first book was released. I’ve waited on Dominic’s story the entire series because he’s always been one of my favorites. Let’s be real though, I love the whole Phoenix pack and I am heartbroken the series is over. Dominic did not let me down though. We finally got to see behind the cheesy pickup lines to see the real man behind them. Don’t get me wrong, like Jamie, I found the lines hilarious, but it was nice getting to see the real side of him. Mila was everything in a mate I had hoped for Dominic. Yes I have real hope for fictional people. That’s how close to my heart this series is. And now I want to be a Pallas cat. If you don’t know what they are, I highly suggest reading this book and googling them.
In true Suzanne fashion, as soon as I think I have the book figured out, TWIST! She always keeps me guessing, always lets you think you know exactly how it’s going to go but then throws a curveball. It’s one of the reasons she’s a favorite of mine.
If you couldn’t tell, I HIGHLY recommend this book! This whole series!! And that epilogue had me sobbing! They were happy sobs but sobs nonetheless. If you feel like you’re missing something in your life, I know what it is. It’s this series. 5 huge sobbing stars!!

What to say about this book? I can't even begin to explain what this series means to me, it was the first paranormal romance series I actually loved enough to read all the books and really get into the story and the characters, so this was a bittersweet read for me... I've been waiting for Dominic's story since the first book, he was that character that you can't help but fall in love with and I was dying to get to know the female that would finally accept him and make him stop chase every woman he encountered.
This book did not dissapoint. I loved Mila and her family, I loved the story and the suspense and the twist that I did not see coming and loved how the two of them were together. I loved everything about this book and I think the fans of the series will love it as much as I did. It was the best ending to this series, but I will miss this characters greatly.
If you haven't read this series, go and read from the beginning because this is one you won't want to miss.
Thank you Suzanne Wright for giving us this incredible characters to fall in love with.

5 ‘ PERFECT HEA’ Stars

Awww… This was the most PERFECT way to wrap up the PNR awesomeness that is The Phoenix Pack! No wonder Suzanne Wright is my Queen of PNr, this ending truly was PERFECTION!

I slowly (ok, not really, lol) UNTAMED DELIGHTS, savored so that I could enjoy every word to its fullest, because I don’t want to say goodbye to this Phoenix Pack gang.

Dominic, the impish, sexual lines addict wolf shifter, was indeed the perfect character to be left for last – and whose story we all have all been dying for since book one – and Mila, the kickass and overall awesome pallas cat shifter was the perfect counter part for Dom’s complex character. Only she could see right through his too playful facade. Ahhh, how I adored them as couple! With my deep love for fated mates, I never expected one of my fav from the story would be a imprinted couple, that about says it of how fantastic this book is. And so much more complex and rich character, background and plot wise! I indeed loved every second of interaction of these two and all the cameos from past couples and wished it never to end!

Untamed Delights was pure PNR magic that just cemented Suzanne Wright as my PNR Queen given the conclusion of not of Dominic and Mila but the pack as whole was PERFECTION, that epilogue had me 😍😍😍! Now I just need it to be Wednesday to get the final Mercury Pack, Shards of Frost in my grabby hands!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

So this was my first book by this author and I feel that Suzanne Wright hit it out of the park with this book. With a big hearted Wolf shifter named Dominic with his hilarious corny pickup lines and skittish but strong Pallas shifter Mila who can fight her own fight and won't let people walk all over her. I LOVED these characters and how they played off each other. I enjoyed watching them become stronger and their love grow. Add in crazy families, lots of action with a who done it mystery and plenty of heat this book had everything I look for in a book. Well done.

I’ve jumped in and out of this series and the author’s works, but have always enjoyed what I’ve read. I’m sad that this is the “saying goodbye” book for the Phoenix Pack, and hope for many crossover/spinoff opportunities moving forward.

Remember Dominic? Well, if you don’t know him and you’re joining us here (WHAT?!), then all you really need to know is that he has subjected all the women who have come into their pack to some truly horrific and hilarious pickup lines. We knew eventually the time would come when his mate walked into his life and they would all finally be able to get him back. His mate, it turns out, is in the form of Mila. Don’t worry about her, though, because she is tough as nails.

Mila comes from a family of organized crime, Russian murdering wolverines, and other pallas cats, like herself. Unfortunately, her true mate has chosen someone else and she’s still licking her wounds, hiding her horrible secret from him. In a last attempt to get well, she tentatively agrees to an arranged mating all the way in Russia. No one is happy with this, least of all the adorable flirt she meets after performing at a shifter bar. Dominic, unfortunately, has more than just impressing Mila on his plate. What he thought was a simple one night stand turns into a boatload of drama for him when her father teams up with the extremists.

These two are 100% great for one another (of course), and were a nice, solid way to end the series. We get to see Dominic settle and yet learn way more about his inner workings. We watch the score get settled with the rest of the pack for all the flirtation. We also get to see the shifters pull together in a big fight. Oh, and we get to see more pallas cat action, which is always scarring in the best way. This ties up a lot of things, but I’d still take 8 more of these books!

The last book in one of my favorite series, I was a bit down before I even started reading. Thank goodness Dominic is still ridiculous and had me cracking up almost immediately. I expected Dom’s pack mates to give him a lot more crap than they did once he’d found his woman, but I’m thrilled they didn’t kill him because of all those cheesy pickup lines aimed at their wives. Why? Because Dominic was amazing. And alpha-intense. And did I mention he was freaking hot?

Dominic may not have gotten his fated mate, but he got the perfect one for him. I loved Mila and her pragmatic outlook on life. She was laid back and level-headed which is exactly what Dominic needed. Plus, she was a Pallas cat and they fascinate me. If there were such things as shifters in this world, I know that’s what I’d want to be.

Dominic and Mila had danger nipping at them from every corner and with so many possible perpetrators, it was next to impossible to guess who targeted them and why. Well, one was obvious, that being Dominic’s past slightly man-whorish ways coming back to bite him in the ass. But the other issue was a guessing game that I had a lot of fun trying to figure out. I do have to say, when the shit hit the fan at the end, the suspense and danger had me at the edge of my seat and my heart in my throat.

As the book wound down and I knew my time being fully immersed in the Phoenix Pack was coming to an end, I found myself reading slower and slower. I turned that last page fully satisfied after reading a great book but heartbroken that it was over. The only thing soothing the sting is that I know I’ll see them in Shards of Frost, the (insert huge sob here) last Mercury Pack book, but also in the future Olympus Pride Series which means a whole series with Pallas Cats. I can’t freaking wait!!!!

4.25-4.5 stars. This was a really good book! Untamed Delights is the last book in the Phoenix pack series, which is my favorite shifter series ever. This is Dominic's long awaited story. Mila is a pallas cat shifter and a singer. Dominic is the flirty, funny enforcer for the Phoenix wolf pack. He sees Mila sing at the shifter club and is interested in her right away. Mila has given up on finding a mate. Her true mate is imprinted to her cousin. She is not interested in him at all, but she does want to be mated so she is considering an arranged mating with a family friend in Russia. But Dominic doggedly pursues her anyway. Mila resists at first, because she knows about Dominic's past as a manwhore, but he shows her he is interested in her alone. As they spend time together and start to fall for each other, it becomes apparent that someone is out to get Mila. When her life is threatened, Dominic shows her that he will do anything to keep her safe and show her his love.

I adored this book. Mila and Dominic were both great characters and I loved them together. They were a perfect couple- sweet, sexy and funny. There was very little pushing away between them, no real OW drama, awesome chemistry, fun banter and a really good story. The book was nice and long, but they got together and stayed together pretty early and there was no slow burn. There was a good suspense story line, too. Also, I really liked catching up with all the fun characters from previous books in the series. Overall, this was just a really enjoyable read!

Reading this book was bittersweet. I am so sad to see this series end! I loved this book and all the others in this series. The world Ms. Wright has created and her writing in this series is amazing. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next!

If you’ve followed The Phoenix Pack then you’ve run into Dominic throughout the series. Sex on two legs (or four paws), Dominic has been in the background with his corny one-liners, his devotion to the pack, and his (until now) untold complete story. If this is your first time here then I’d gently suggest you start at the beginning – there is so much to experience within this unique group of shifters that to not enjoy them all would be a shame, in my opinion.

It’s always a bittersweet moment for me when I’ve finished the final story in a series. That was certainly true with Untamed Delights. Yet, what an amazing ride it’s been.

The chemistry between Dominic and Mila leaps off of the page, but so does the sadness as well. They are chosen mates, not fated ones, for Mila’s true mate has picked someone else to imprint on, leaving her alone and not caring that her father is sending her off to a loveless, arranged marriage. Yet that changes when she meets Dominic. He might not be fated for her, but he is her chosen and perhaps that’s even better for them both.

There is such depth to Dominic, certainly more than we saw previously, but even more than expected. I loved watching them discover each other, beyond the sensuous side of them, to the people they truly are and can be together. Oh, do not doubt that these two can burn up the sheets, they are as sexy as you’ll ever find. Yet, knowing Dominic’s background seeing him with a woman that he cares for so much, one he has chosen for his forever was a moment I’d waited for this man for a very long time. It’s not going to be an easy pairing, there is a real danger to be faced from several fronts yet they fight for what is real for them – and that’s all that truly matters in the end.

I have loved The Phoenix Pack from the very beginning, and I don’t really want to see this series end, although I know all things must eventually. The Mercury Pack is still going strong, and there is more on the horizon. So perhaps these characters I’ve loved for years won’t totally be gone, only seen now and then – and that would be enough for me as I wish them a happy future and send them off into the sunset.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

July ’19 Favorite

At last, the dirty jokester of the pack gets his book. I was looking forward to Dominic’s book since he was constantly teasing everyone’s mates. I’m really thankful that the publisher gave me the opportunity to read this book before its release; this is my honest opinion.

Mila is the perfect woman for Dominic. A pallas cat, she doesn’t take shit from anyone and doesn’t surrender to Dominic’s charm. Her cat is not in the best place right now, because her true mate has partially imprinted on her cousin. She’s pissed with him and wants to move to Russia to escape the situation.

Dominic is enamored with her from the first glance. She’s the first female who calls him on his shit and gives as good as she gets. He’s not in a rush to find his true mate, so a fling with her is what he wants at the moment. His protective instincts are coming out, when he finds out that she’s in danger.

The book has the right amount of suspense, action, hotness and funny moments. I was shocked to find out who was really targeting her and the reason why. I laughed so hard when the Phoenix wolves hit her with dirty lines as payback for Dominic’s behavior. Their chemistry is off the chart and their encounters are sizzling hot!!!

I’m really sad to see the series coming to an end. The epilogue left me with happy feelings and I’m really content with how everyone’s story turned out! I’ll be eagerly waiting for the Olympic Pride series next!!!

In Untamed Delights we get the much anticipated story of Dominic, the Phoenix Pack's enforcer and cheesy line deliverer.

Mila, a Palas cat, has a ready answer or put down to every one of Dominic's lines!

Their path to HEA is full of laugh out loud moments as Dominic continues to deliver his 'lines' with impeccable timing and humour.

But that's not all, just when you think everything is going well, Dominic, Mila and their respective packs are put through the mill.

My advice, read Untamed Delights to find out how wonderfully Suzanne Wright finishes off the Phoenix Pack series!

This book was amazing! Dominic definitely has his hands full. Glad that he found his mate and loved to see this side of him. Live Suzanne's writing. So sad this is the last in the series.

It's no secret that I love Suzanne Wright. She is one of my favorite authors. The Phoenix Pack was my favorite of all her series. Dominic stole my heart from book one with his corny pick up lines and playful charm. I was both excited and sad when I got Untamed Delights. Excited that I was finally getting Dom's HEA. Sad that it is the last book in the Phoenix Pack series. I don't want my favorite set of sexy badass shifters stories to stop. So I felt a little better at the end of the book when the author notes said we will still see our beloved favorites again in the new spin off series Olympus Pride. Though not my favorite in the series, I still really loved Untamed Delights. Dom was yummy and funny as always. I liked Mila a lot. They had off the wall sexual tension. I loved getting deeper with Dom and seeing new sides to him. I love the pallas cat shifters they are so crazy funny. Mila and Dom made a really cute couple. Seeing all the pack mates again and the kids melted my heart. It sometimes amazes me how attached I can become to a series. Reading this book made me want to go back and reread the whole series. I really loved Mila's family. Both sides were funny as hell. and I hope her brother Alex gets a book in the new spin off. I think one of my favorite parts in the whole book was the other males giving Dom a little pay back for all the flirting he did with their mates over the years. Overall a really good ending to a much loved series.

WOW! What a fantastic ending to a fantastic series! I love this book so much I’ve already read it twice!

It’s hot. It’s hilarious. It’s bittersweet. I can’t believe it’s the end! I was so frustrated waiting for Dominic’s for so long, but it was so worth it!

I tried not to have any hopes or expectations when it came to this book because I didn’t want to be disappointed after waiting for so long. But, Suzanne killed it! Dominic was everything I thought he’d be and so much more.

His ladylove, Mila, was awesome and perfectly fit Dominic. She gave as good as she got and in turn we got hilarious and witty conversations.

The plot follows the typical Suzanne formula, so you won’t be surprised, but it provides an interesting enough storyline. The background characters (specifically from the Olympus pride) were fantastic and I’m excited we’ll get to see more of them in her next series.

WHY does it have end??

I have followed this series since day dot and I have loved every second of it!

Finally we got Dominics story - I have been waiting for this since 2012 and I was not disappointed!

The writing was flawless, the characters fun to read, the storyline engrossing and of course the banter hilarious!

I have deeply enjoyed this world and I'm sad to see the end of it!

Looking forward to Shards of Glass and the spinoff to this series, can't wait to see some of these characters make an appearance!

As always, its 5 stars from me!

I hate that the end of the series is here but it goes out with a bang with Dom's story. I was not disappointed. Dom and Mila's story is everything I hoped it would be. We get to see that there is more to Dom than his flirting and one liners. Mila is just what Dom needs in a mate, she is strong and feisty. Great addition to the series.

It feels like we've been waiting forever for Dominic's book.  He's been a prevalent character in both the Phoenix Pack and Mercury Pack series.  He's endeared himself to so many with his cheesy one liners, caring heart, and bad boy tendencies.   Honestly I've come to see him as more of a big brother than a character I'd claim as a book boyfriend.  All that changed when I dove into this book.

Dominic is a complex character.  He's always come off as one dimensional, but when you really get into the nitty gritty of who he is a whole other man emerges.  I was surprised how quickly my view of him changed, and kept changing the more we got of him.  He was absolutely worth the wait.

Mila.  Oh Mila.  I wasn't sure what kind of woman Suzanne would create for Dominic.  I was eager to learn as much about Mila as possible,  and I won't deny it, I judged her.  Harshly.  I mean this is Dominic his woman had to be perfect, and worthy.  Mila lived up to the extremely high bar I had set for her.  I loved her as an individual and as Dominic's mate.

Lovers of this series will be more than happy with how this book plays out.  They will devour it in one sitting like I did, and they'll be singing Suzanne's praises when they finish.  Dominic's book lived up to the hype.

Wow, where to begin? I have finally gotten the book that I have been waiting for since the start of the series: Dominic’s book!

I wasn’t disappointed. It was such an amazing story and did the humor of this character justice, I couldn’t have asked for more on what the author gave in his and Mila’s story, Without fail Wright always seems to make me laugh and bring heart ace in the same couple of pages. It was such a treat to see the development of their relationship and I felt their chemistry was well written. I loved how the story started with a wounded(ish) Mila and the feelings of Dominic- it was a lot of fun to see their interaction and the development of their love for one another, the best was given to this character and i’m glad his story was taken with as much love as the other books that she has written.

I love how every new book brings something totally new to the table, it’s never the same story yet we get so many well developed and strong females as well as male characters. I am so excited to see what is next in the story and as always I will continue to pick up her titles and rave about the amazing storytelling this author gives to me.
