Finally, we have Dominic’s book! We’ve all been waiting a long time to see him find his mate, and I totally love Mila. This is a bittersweet one though as it’s the final book in the series, but what a journey it’s been. What a great story and bookend to the Phoenix Pack series. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and devoured it in a day.
Absolutely recommend.

Untamed Delights is a brilliant read in the Phoenix pack series. Here we have pack enforcer Dominic’s story, he has been a presence in the previous books known for his womanising ways and cheesy one liners, I’d just thought of him as a trivial extra, a rather annoying one at that. How wrong I was, once we learn of Dominic’s background we come to realise what depth of character he has and everything else is just a front to protect him from how he was treated by his parents in the past.
When he meet Mila a Pallas cat he’s met his match and falls hard for her. The relationship takes time to develop but does so beautifully.
This is a strong well written, extremely entertaining read, with a cast of characters good and downright evil. There was a lot of depth to this book and the prejudice encounters is no different than what occurs in today’s society if you are different. There was more hardcore violence than usual but in this case very necessary. Although the last book in this series, I await the next with great anticipation.
My thanks to net galley and publisher for the opportunity to review this book honestly.

Wow!!

This book was so worth the wait, I didn’t want it to end I was glued to the pages from the first word the the last. This was the perfect story for Dom and his mate definitely made him work for it, prepare for steam lots of yummy goodness.

There is so much action in this book that you will be gripped.

I’m sad that this was the last Phoenix pack book but I know we will see more of these characters in the new series this author has planned.

More Pallas cats I can’t wait!!

I loved the glimpse into there future as they settle into the lives and relationships it was a perfect epilogue and I finished this book with a big smile.

I can’t wait for Eli’s book and to get to know more about the Olympus pride.

I enjoyed my visit to the this world

Thank you to the author for creating these characters this world and for sharing them with us readers

I voluntarily read this book in exchange for an honest review.

I received an arc copy of this book from NetGalley for my honest review. Another great book in the series and a nice close. I was a little nervous about Dominic’s story. He was such a comedian and Lothario ( as described by other characters) that he didn’t seem to have much depth however his attitude was shaped by his dismissive upbringing. He seemed to meet his match in Mila who was impressed with his GQ looks and attitude. Their relationship had ups and downs as they had to work against anti shifter humans and other shifters that seemed to want them apart but their attraction to each other( and the heat from it) could not keep them apart. There was a nice blend of humor, heat and mystery with lots of familiar faces along the way. Also the ending was great , tying up a lot of stories but hopefully it’s just the end for now and not forever (more books please). 5 stars

Wow, I can't believe that this is already the eighth book of this series. Time sure does fly by, especially with these great characters. I have to admit that I forgot some of the characters stories from previous books but given that the first one came out seven years ago I think I can be forgiven. Anyway, from what I do remember of the previous reads, I had some reservations about Dominic's character since he was such a huge flirt and the ladies sure did love him (and still do in this book). But turns out that my prejudice was just that. In the end I fell in love with his unique humor and how he deep down was actually a great guy. He just needed the right woman or better said the right pallas cat to make him overcome his insecurities. And don't even get me started on Mila's character. She truly is awesome. She's the most no bullshit and down to earth character I've read in a long while. That is until you try to cross her, then she's the devil cat incarnate, which btw I'm all down for. I mean, if someone had to go through so much stuff as she did, you bet I'd be so angry not even the pope could save me. At times it even felt like I was reading a Game of Thrones episode, so much treachery... But in the end, I loved it all. Even the crazy exes didn't bother me, not in the slightest. Save to say they all got what the deserved, ha! It always feels great when you know that you can count on the author to do right by the characters and essentially by the reader. So, can I say that I liked and enjoyed the story? Sure can! I even think that this one, apart from the first book, is my favourite story of this series. Everything just fits. And on that note, if you read the previous books in this series and aren't sure about this one, then I would highly recommend you read it. Bacause it's amazing and I'm sure you won't be regreting it.

Mila is a cat shifter with a voice that would make angels cry. She finds her true mate but he has imprinted on another shifter. To escape them she has decided to move to Russia and go into an arranged marriage her uncles have set up. Dominic is a wolf enforcer, the biggest flirt and never keeps a woman for more than one night. He isn’t looking for his true mate but he does want one night with Mila, when he sees her sing at a club. She continually turns him down but finally gives in. Mila has a bounty on her head and several attempts have been made on her life. The more time he spends with Mila, the less likely he is to let her go.
I absolutely loved this book! I have been waiting for Dominic’s story and was not disappointed. The Russian uncles are hilarious. The sex is steamy and there is plenty of action and mystery. Some old friends and new ones. Be prepared to laugh out loud.

Untamed Delights made me laugh so hard that tears ran down my face, made me sit on the edge of my seat with my heart pounding, and hit me in the heart. Dominic and Mila’s story gave me all the feels. I fell a little in love with Dom while watching him with his Mila. These two made my kindle smoke. Dom and Mila are both strong, independent individuals who are the perfect half the other needs in a mate. I really loved Dom and Mila’s story. That epilogue though! I could not put this book down. I love falling into this world and I cannot wait to revisit it. Untamed Delights is a book I highly recommend reading.

Another well deserved 5 stars

I have been waiting for this book since i first read feral sins in 2017 when i discovered suzanne wright.
and i can it was 100% worth the wait.

ahhh Dominic i knew he would have deep deep layers and he did not let me down. he is complicated we finally get to see past his lady killer smile and killer good looks and into the "self protection wall"

Mila Devereaux she is everything a kick ass female should be smart, funny, strong and also has a lot of self respect. she is perfect for our favourite naughty wolf. throughout the book we got to meet more of the Olympus pack

and that epilogue OMG! it was everything but bittersweet at the same time i am happy i dont have to say goodbye to my favourite characters and the amazing world Suzanne has built.

I am looking forward to reading the next series from this world and seeing everyone again

Another fantastic book in the Phoenix Pack series, reading Untamed Delights is actually bittersweet because it is the last book in this series. Pack enforcer Dominic, a known playboy, has been such a goofy and fun character throughout the whole series, so I was really excited to finally see him fall for a woman. Mila is just plain awesome. I love googling the pallas cats, they look so cute and cuddly but they are just crazy, I loved it!! She was just perfect for Dominic, she knew just how to respond to all his naughty ways. But kidding all aside, there are some sadness intertwined in all the silliness. Poor Mila has to be in close proximity with her unsuspecting true mate and the woman he has imprinted on. For her and her cat to live in some kind of peace, she has decided to do something about it. Unfortunately for her, Dominic has set his eyes on her and is determined to have her.

Dominic, the last unmated male in the Phoenix Pack, is so much more than the reputed lothario, he portrays himself to be. When we learn of his childhood, my heart broke for him. So because of this, he built a wall around himself and didn’t allow himself to be vulnerable ever again. But with Mila the wall slowly starts to crack. As much as they both try to fight it, there definitely is a connection between these two. I absolutely loved the scenes when Dominic interacts with Mila’s cat.

Like in every book in this series and the Mercury Pack series, there is an epic battle that we see coming. In this one, it was a bit different, a bit more personal for the main characters, but still brutal and actually shocking with a lot of twists and turns that I didn’t see coming.

There were so many things I loved about this book; the chemistry, the continued nautiness of Dominic, the banter, one-liners that come from Dominic’s packmates to Mila and Mila’s family themselves. A great conclusion to an amazing series. Definitely a 5-star read.

Thank you Netgalley and Montlake Publishing for the complimentary copy of Untamed Delights. All opinions are my own.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

I have been waiting for a long time for Dominic's turn to find his mate! It was great that Mila just wast not falling at his feet and every encounter she challenged him. I loved as we watched their attraction escalate and each day they fall a little more for each other.

The rest of the Phoenix pack along with Mila's pack were a great addition to the story as we see previous couples and new pack members which we can only hope to see more of in future books. It was so funny when the rest of the males in the Phoenix pack came up with the one-liners to Mila after all the times that Dominic did it to their mates!!

There were so many things happening in this book that I just could not put it down and had to keep reading to find out who was behind the attempts on Mila's life. There were a couple people that I suspected but was totally surprised when the person was revealed and the reason behind it!

I was so worried when Dominic finally started having doubts and was ready to run. You just could see that Mila was not going to put up with that and that would be the end if he left.

The epilogue was such a great look into their future with their children growing up! I am so sad that this is the last book for the Phoenix pack.

Dominic is always trying to placate his woman, “I respect that you’re a highly dominant female, baby—” Dominic is just quite protective of his woman, "Dominic’s nostrils flared. “Mila’s not a effing option for him.” Mila put her hand on Dominic’s thigh." I loved this book, dominic's story has been a long time coming for me and the man didn't dissapoint.

I am beyond delighted (see what I did there) to be able to read this book as an ARC from Netgalley. Dominic's story was so interesting and I really enjoyed being able to delve into his history and rational. Mila was a great character too. She was so strong and no-nonsense and yet really accepting of people. The plot was pretty busy. There were baddies coming at them from every corner but I loved the way Wright did the mating this time. It was such a firm and conscious decision. I'm a little sad that the Phoenix pack is done, unless we get some books about the kidlets, which would be awesome.

I'm so sad to see this series end, but I couldn't be happier with the way that it did. Dominic and Mila put a permanent smile on my face while I was reading their story. Dominic has been the character throughout this series that was always a strong presence and the one that I was dying to see finally find his mate. Mila was honestly the perfect woman for him and his raunchy jokes. She always found the perfect responses to his silliness and I loved that about them. Seriously, they were the most adorable couple.

There was also a lot of action going on in the story that had me on the edge of my seat. I was constantly questioning what was going to happen and I had no clue who was behind everything. Which I loved since I always think the best books are the ones that can keep be guessing.

One of the things I enjoy the most from this series is how the Pack comes together to solve whatever problem is currently happening, and in this book we had the bonus of also seeing that with Mila's family, the Olympus Pride. Getting to see more of those characters has me excited to see what Ms. Wright is planning for their own series.

I absolutely loved it! Having followed this series over the years as well as patiently waiting and being filled with excitement to read each book, the ending was fulfilling for me. I loved how Wright showed that her characters are in control of their fate regardless of having destined or non-destined mates. Most importantly, she did her characters justice by ending with a glimpse of the dynamics of each couple. Thank you so much for this amazing series! I can't wait for the next!

Finally its here...yaaaaaayyyyyy....I literally have been checking everyday just to see if its available and the wait paid off...The moment we were introduced to Dominic, with his cheesy lines and his twisted charm ,we couldn't help but wonder how his story will play out , how his packmates are going to take revenge by flirting with his mate and I have to tell you they didn't disappoint :).....It was similar yet different , which is very refreshing because sometimes when there are so many novels involving same characters and similar background ,it can get repetitive but Suzanne does a great job with every new novel ,of giving it its own life yet making us feel the familiar surroundings as well......so with Dominic and Mila , I loved that she already knew her true mate and yet she fell in love with Dominic , and she is a perfect match for him(because of his history).This story also gave a bit more insight into true mates and imprinting bond.
It was an awesome read ,definitely worth your time.I also feel sad that there is only Eli's story left .Guess I will definitely be reading OLYMPUS pride series when it comes(not ready to let the characters go yet :) ).

Let's start off by saying how surprised I am by how much I liked this. This paranormal romance series was filled with kick-ass lead characters, steamy scenes and a decent plot that engaged my interest. Mila spitfire personality and Dominic hilarious pick up lines definitely showcase that the lead characters were thus far the best part about "Untamed Delights" and it's well worth the read.

Holy crapoli!!! LOVED LOVED LOVED Mila and Dominic!!! This was one of the best books I have read this year. The best ending to a series that I’ve loved for over a year (when I discovered it) and so totally worth reading

As soon as i saw this was available to read, i nearly woke my partner up by yelling "YAY"

I absolutely love Suzanne Wright books.
She is my go to author whenever i am in a book slump, having a bad day or just want to re-read old favourites.

(started this at midnight, didn't finish it until 4am back up at 6am! coffee is needed today)

I have loved Dominic since we first met him in Feral Sins.
His cheesy chat up lines are hilarious.
Always winding up the males by using those lines on their mates.

He was different with Mila.
She did what no other female had done and turned him down.
He got possessive over her, didn't like that she was talking about moving to Russia to enter into an arranged mating with someone else.

He literally become her shadow when someone decided it would be best to hurt her.
The relationship between Mila & Dominic is hilarious.
The back and fourth banter is absolutely brilliant.
Suzanne has written yet another fantastic book.
That epilogue , that was amazing.
I know that Dominic is the last in The Phoenix Pack Series but hopefully we will see them in other books ! (fingers crossed)

Thank you Suzanne for yet another amazing book !!
