When Zaire Torva, enforcer of the Bay Pines pack, finds his mate near death in an underground fighting ring, he has no idea Lathan Ferox crashing into his life will turn his whole world upside-down. The struggle to save the man who claims Zaire’s heart tests their newly formed bond. And proves there’s nothing Zaire won’t do for him.Only, sharing him might be an issue.While on a mission to … mission to retrieve a runaway wolf cub, Zaire and Lathan come across a beautiful, fierce young woman, Embry Caelitēs, who watches over the child with all the instincts of a mare guarding her foal. Separating the two is impossible, and Embry possesses powers that can help Lathan tame his beast. Unfortunately, Zaire and Embry are like oil and water, clashing at every turn. All they have in common is how much they’re willing to sacrifice for the ones they love.
Surrendering to the wild passion of the animal within, Zaire’s tempered connection with Embry grows, but will it be enough as Lathan’s very existence proves too great a risk for any peaceful pack to take? As Embry’s past closes in on her, and their little cub faces the danger she tried to escape, will love be enough to keep them all alive?

I read this book when it was released as a Kindle World book under the name of Tamed. With Kindle Worlds shutting down, the author had to rework the book to remove any references to the original World and has republished. So I bought the new book, too, and thought I would reread it. I don’t often reread the books I have, but I am so glad I reread this one because I still loved the book. The bonus with the author having to rework and republish is that now the author can add more books to this series, and I am so excited for them to come.
I did one status update on this book, because I had to stop and catch my breath when the best shifter ever was revealed in the book!!!! Now, that isn’t why I loved this book, but it definitely made me squeal in excitement and added to the greatest that this book is 🙂
Tough guy meets damaged man and finds his mate, trouble is he is human. One sexy night, well, he is a beast after all and can’t wait and it would have been fine if the bad guys didn’t choose then to attack. They get through that and onto the job of finding the little girl who ran away from her family to protect herself, only to find she has been taken under the protection of another woman who is running away to protect herself. All the bad guys join together, but then again, so do the good guys, somewhat and somehow
This was an action packed book, with lots of sexy times too, and a lot of thoughts on the human condition, through the animal actions. Why do families protect or shun as they do, and choosing your family to suit your needs not vice versa. The difficult choices leaders need to make for the good of everyone, even if it goes against their personal thoughts. Tamed is what our shifters think they are, but the human turned doesn’t think or know that. In the end, all of them let their beasts free at times, and while they can keep them at bay, they are never really tamed, and that is okay
In other words, I loved this book, couldn’t set it down and devoured it in one sitting, and it was worth every yawn I’ll have today!
I am a huge fan of Bianca Sommerland but I was a little worried when I found out she was branching out in another genre! I’ve seen it before and been disappointed, badly!!! NOT THIS TIME!!!!! This book was everything I look for in erotic PNR!!! Untamed is a well written story that will keep the reader riveted to the page. The characters have depth and their personalities pull you in, you can’t help but root for the main characters. The world building is fantastic, loved the different types of shifters (readers are in for a fantastic surprise). What’s more, the author stayed true to herself with this story. It’s not just HOT, it is SIZZLING!!!!
I am absolutely positive that if Ms. Sommerland turns this into a series, I will be waiting with bated breath for each new book!!!
5 Star Review Untamed (Feral Bonds #1) by Bianca Sommerland
Untamed is certainly a departure from the genre that I have come to expect from Bianca Sommerland. However that being said it was well written and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I really enjoy Ms. Sommerland’s writing style and Untamed was no exception. This is the story of a shifter called Zaire, the human he falls for and who he eventually turns into a shifter, Lathan.
Tasked with the search for a missing wolf child, Zaire and Lathan embark on a journey that will alter their planned lives forever. When they eventually find Livvie, she has been helped by a unicorn shifter called Embry, another runaway who is determined not to end up as a brood mare for her clan.
Zaire, Lathan and Embry are all immediately drawn to each other as are their beasts. Although paranormal is not a favourite genre of mine, ménage and BDSM are and Untamed have both. I really liked the combination of Zaire, Lathan and Embry together, they simply sizzled.
Bianca Sommerland made me forget I was reading paranormal, so engrossed was I in the storyline and I will certainly be reading more in this genre should Ms. Sommerland write them.
