I am seriously wrestling back and forth over giving this five stars or four. I think I'm going to stay at four because if you have not read books 1 and 5 in the Feral series, you will not love Ecstasy Untamed as much as I do in this moment.

I don't think I can articulate properly why I love this book. The phrase that keeps springing to mind is "it was a culmination," which really doesn't make any sense. Let me ponder on a suitable analogy for a moment.

With the bond between him and his animal breaking it’s only a matter of time before it slips away entirely and ends Hawke’s life. When hope seems futile Faith arrives at the Feral house, accompanying a new warrior, but even though she is the intended mate of another Faith is the only one who can calm Hawke’s rages and sooth his animal. But Maxim has no intentions of ever letting Faith go and will go to twisted lengths to keep her at his side. When Maxim’s true plans are revealed will Faith and Hawke be strong enough to not only fight for their love, but their lives as well?

Wow, Ecstasy Untamed has to be one of my favorite novels in the series to-date, tying with Jag’s story! The beginning of the story started off rocky for me; it was dark, painful and I didn’t like where it was leading. But boy oh boy did it take me for a ride after that with ample shocking twists!

Following the events of Hunger Untamed, Hawke is struggling with the after-effects of the daemon trap which essentially rips the animal spirit from the man and a shifter cannot live without his animal. Always being the calmer one of the Feral warriors, it was intriguing to see a totally different side of Hawke’s character. Playing on the sidelines for most of the series Hawke definitely came front and center in his book and was fleshed out perfectly. He was often times out of control and unstable but when Faith arrives she instantly soothes him, as long as she’s near…But Faith is the intended mate of the Feral’s new fox shifter, or so they think…
Faith is a Therian who has devoted her life to helping young human women across the world. She was an admirable character and easy to like from the start. While living on her own she happens across Maxim who she is drawn to right away, there was an instant connection that she believed to be the mating bond, but in reality it is something far more sinister. Arriving at Feral house though Faith questions her initial instincts when she meets Hawke, who she has a strong attraction to from the start. Then, as she is around Maxim more and more she knows that there is something wrong there. The scenes between Maxim and Faith were incredibly heart-wrenching; Maxim is a dark and evil character that I felt dirty just reading about. However, when it came to Hawke and Faith hope was brought into the story. Their relationship brought an abundance of suspense, sexual tension and smexy scenes to Ecstasy Untamed and I really thought that they were the perfect fit, building upon each other. They’re each fantastic characters apart but together they’re incredible.

The Feral Warriors is a deep and intense series, not a light paranormal romance in the least, where every novel builds upon the complex paranormal world Pamela Palmer has created. The Mages are still at it with a new deadly plot to raise Satanan that continues into the next book. (Evil, evil author…) Though the romance was nicely tied up the ending left me craving for more and dying to find out what happens next?!?! Pamela Palmer expands on the Feral Warrior history though, answering a lot of questions readers might have had. The story also includes plenty of past characters and humorous scenes with them, I just love how every character in the series is distinct. This is a series that should be read in order though otherwise you will no doubt be lost.

Another fantastic edition to a great series, I can’t wait to see what Pamela Palmer has planned for the Ferals next! (less)

Hawke is back and be still my heart! I finally made it to my favorite Feral Warrior and his tortured story. I think I didn't eat, sleep or do much of anything while reading this book. Even my kids steered clear of me.

I finally made it to my favorite Feral Warrior and his tortured story. I think I didn't eat, sleep or do much of anything while reading this book. Even my kids steered clear of me.

Hawke has been rescued from the spirit trap and he is not the same as when he went in. His animal is fighting with him and causing him to shift. Even though he is trying to fight the rage and the unwanted shifting, when the animal does take over it takes him to the sky for hours. When he is in his hawk form, he isn't even remembering it. If he doesn't get his animal under control soon, he will eventually die.

Faith is a Therian living in Poland. When out one night she is attacked by Daemons. A handsome stranger comes to her rescue and convinces her that they are mates. He sweeps her away to the Feral House to claim his animal that he is marked with. Maxim is not what he seems though. He is cold, cruel, and definitely not the next Foxx. Some animals were never reborn into the next Feral intended until the spirit trap was breached. Now they are finding themselves being introduced to them rather quickly. In this we see the true nature of Maxim and the true evil he is capable of. Seriously, by the end of Chapter 6, this book becomes dark, dirty and flat out suspenseful. Be warned and be ready to have your heart flutter in fear.

As if the author couldn't torture us enough after that, the readers learn a secret about Faith that could change everything. Will she reveal it to Hawke and the other Warriors? If she does, will she do it in time? Can she save Hawke and make him realize what is truly wrong with his animal spirit? Well, my lovely readers -- you will have to read the book.

The ending was bittersweet for me. It is left with a climatic ending that makes me scream in frustration because we have to wait for the next book! Release day will not arrive soon enough for this fan. I wonder if I could bribe author Pamela Palmer for some hints and secrets?(less)

Ecstasy Untamed is the 6th book in the series of the Feral Warriors.

The book had pretty gruesome elements at the beginning part of the story that chilled me to my bones. But as it progresses, it change to a lighter shade of darkness making it more enjoyable.

Turn on all the lights, cuddle your pillow and hunker down with this dark and meaty story that will make your heart race and your mind scream. It doesn’t sound romantic but the hero and heroine have to battle such tremendous odds, the romance is in watching their love conquering all, despite the obstacles.

Ms. Palmer has established a reputation with the Feral Warriors series that not only includes a satisfying happily ever after, but graphic and horrendous descriptions that sear the senses and helps a reader identify with the horrors the main characters have to fight against. Ecstasy Untamed continues that tradition.

If a reader is a fan, then they’ll remember that Hawke was caught in a spirit trap in Rapture Untamed,. He didn’t escape unscathed and his issues that were hinted at in Hunger Untamed are brought to fruition in Ecstasy Untamed. For a first time reader jumping into the adventure, this book has no problems being a standalone. One thing the author has shown is a skill in recapping the vital parts of past stories that are relevant to the current tale without it ever being an info-dump. A reader will understand in essence, what happened to Hawke and what is happening now.

One thing a new reader cannot know is who Hookeye was. He was the bad guy in the previous book that was responsible for Hawke getting trapped in that spiritual wormhole in the first place. He was casting poisonous spells to suck them all into that sensory deprived space that tears the spirit animal out of the man. What this story does is reveal what the real agenda was and it’s both horrifying and exciting.

Ms. Palmer totally set me up. I was all excited when the new guys started showing up because the evil dude that is causing all the problems is getting smarter and smarter minions. The stakes are sky-high and every ally is needed. There are hints that things are not as they should be when the heroine, Faith, is prominently on scene. And that is where having all the lights on is a good idea. Maxim, one of the new Ferals, isn’t what he seems. What he reveals and what he does made me sick. I was furious and helpless all at the same time. By the time Ms. Palmer revealed this component of the conflict, I was completely invested in Faith and Hawke. I understood where the author was going to be heading but in no way could I have anticipated how I’d be getting there. My emotions were affected quite effectively.

The author also walked a fine line with keeping all the secondary characters on board. I enjoyed that aspect because of the sense of community and storyline continuation but she also was able to balance their presence to ensure that the relationship between Hawke and Faith was never diluted nor was my attention distracted. There was never any doubt that everything and anything that is said or done or described, happens to enhance the plot, and that the action and conflict revolved around the two main protagonists as it should.

This wasn’t an easy book for me to read. It’s dark, action filled, suspenseful and heroic. It didn’t leave me feeling down because the romance between Hawke and Faith is spectacular. So much wonderful sensual build-up, so much sharing of pain, of hope and character growth -- there is not one aspect the author left untapped.

I strongly support the theme of ‘hope’ that I found in this story. What the eventual outcome of the evil plot is, the author is leading me on through each book as I make my way where she wants to lead before I can find out. One thing I do see is the evil machinations this time around having a good chance of boomeranging on the bad guys, giving the Feral warriors something they’ve not had for centuries. Just the thought of that possibility is enough to hook me with enthusiastic curiosity for the next installment. What is even better is the hint that another warrior is about to find true love and I knew it was coming. I knew it! This book confirmed it and it’s going to be so exciting. I’m sure it’s also going to be equally dark and challenging to read. The thing I’m almost afraid to ask Ms. Palmer is: “What dastardly conflict is she going to come up with to curl my hair this time?”

Ecstasy Untamed continues Ms. Palmer’s hair raising storytelling tradition of a well told romantic suspense between two strong individuals who bring out the best in each other in order to fight the worst that evil throws at them. I found it gripping, entertaining and a thrill ride from beginning to end. There is no way a reader can be unaffected by the drama and suspense that try to thwart Hawke and Faith’s happily ever after. It has a wonderful ending and it left me completely satisfied. This is a must read.

Their story rocked and drew my complete and undivided attention from the first few pages. There is just so little I can tell due to spoilers. This book is full of so many shockers. I had to pick my jaw off the floor so many times. This is one of the best books that I have read all year! I loved how the couple came together. Faith walks into Feral House on the arm of their newest Feral Warrior. The attraction between Hawke and Faith is intense and instantaneous. They both acknowledge the feelings but due to her impending mating with Maxim, Hawke and Faith try to keep their distance with each other. Their attraction and connection is just too much, they can’t stay away from each other. Once they finally give in and accept that they just need to go with the feelings they have towards each other… SCORCHING! They are so perfectly matched for each other in so many ways.

The warriors are still fighting the evil Mage that are trying to release the Daemons. In this installment in the Feral Warrior series they warriors have to face that battle on a different front. The Mage have created an entirely new and very shocking force for the warriors to deal with. I was completely taken by surprise. This adds nonstop page turning action to this book. The readers are still given plenty of page time from the previous books couples. Feral House now has an abundant supply of females. It was nice to see that they are bonding with each other as girlfriends and confidants should, without their men, a bottle of wine and some tasty treats. As with most series I can say that you must read the previous books before this one. It would be very confusing otherwise. Although there was some rehashing on key events from Hunger Untamed, they are disguised as filling in the events that Hawke and Tighe missed during their week trapped in the Spirit Trap.

But if you haven't read the first five, don't let that stop you from giving this book a try. I haven't read the other books either. And while it was obvious the series has a history, I never felt lost and the world building was easy to understand in the context of the story.

A quick set up: There is a race of immortals called Therians. Long ago, each had the power to shift into animals. But a big bad thing happened and then only about two dozen of the Therians retained the power. Each carried the spirit of one animal. Then, another big bad thing happened, trapping the animal spirits of all but nine of the remaining shifters. Those men, the Ferals, protect the other Therians and fight the bad guy Mages who want to release bad-guy Daemons on the world. Anytime a Feral is killed, his animal searches for a strong Therian to replace him and that man is drawn to the other warriors to join their group. Still with me?

Hawke is one of the Ferals and as the book begins, he is recovering from an attack that left him in conflict with his animal. He is trying to repair the damage, but it's not working out. In the meantime, Maxim appears at the house with his would-be mate, Faith. Maxim has the marks of a Feral, and the men believe he is there to replace their lost brother, the Fox. It turns out, he carries one of those animals lost years ago. Quickly, Feral House begins filling with men carrying the other missing animals.

Hawke is drawn to Faith. She had only known Maxim a day before she followed him to Feral House, but she felt drawn to him... certain she belonged to him. It's a feeling that's difficult to hold onto as Maxim reveals himself to be an enormous asshat and she begins to fall for Hawke. If you're worried this might be an infidelity story, don't be. Maxim is a bad, bad dude. And it's obvious Hawke and Faith are meant to be together. The only question is how they're going to get there.

There's a lot going on in the book. The love story is good and so is the sex. There is plenty of action and plot development, but it's easy to keep up with. There is also a bit of darkness --which surprised me a bit. But all the twists and turns kept things interesting. We've got a set-up for two different couples in future books. I am definitely interested in what's going to happen with Wulfe. I want to go back and check out the backlist to learn more about him, if for no other reason. He smacks of a delicious tortured hero.

I enjoyed it. 4 stars.

When she meets the Feral warriors and especially Hawke, she feels right at home, but is Maxim her true mate or could it be Hawke>

Ecstasy Untamed by Pamela Palmer is the sixth novel in the Feral Warrior Series and another terrific edition in this series. The world the Feral Warriors are fighting in is getting darker by the book. This novel doesn’t have a lot of action or battles like in the previous books, but Hawke’s struggle with his animal and his growing relationship with Faith is fabulous.

Early in the book you see Hawke’s struggle with his animal and it’s getting worse, he realize that he might loose the battle soon. When Faith step into his life he feels the attraction, but he has to stay away from her. But Hawke wouldn’t be Hawke, as he slowly discovers that Maxim isn’t who he says he is.

I didn’t mind that this novel had less action in it, because it was intense to see Hawke struggle to get his life back together. He is a fabulous character and I really believe that Faith is the right mate for him.

Some of the scenes between Maxim and Faith really got my hands itching, because that man was a total bastard. I knew from the start he couldn’t be the newest Feral warriors, unlike Jag and his attitude, this man had some darkness inside him. I loved the scenes where leader Lyon put that weasel in his place and showed him who was stronger and bigger.

The ending was good, but also a little frustrated with this cliff-hanger. So I’m looking forward to the next novel and really hope that will be soon. I need to know what happens next and who will be the warrior to find his mate. Will it be Wulfe, Vhyper or the newest Fox?

Faith meets Maxim in Warsaw and follows him to the Feral House as one of the Nine Feral's, the Fox, has died and his animal spirit now inhabits Maxim, she follows him because she feels an unexplainable pull to Maxim knowing she is his. Except Maxim is arrogant and snobbish not anything that Faith normally goes for. And Maxim is nothing like Hawke, when she first meets him the attraction is too tempting and way too strong to ignore... for either of them.

But the trouble is as attracted as Hawke and Faith are to each other, she's Maxim's, no matter what asshole he proves to be, which grates on the should-be-lovers. But that's not all, the Mages are brewing a demonic plan to take down the Feral Brothers to release the Daemons, and their secret weapon has already infiltrated to House.

This story doesn't let go, it keeps grapping you after every solution with another problem until you notice you've been reading for nine hours and you're done... what happened!? I usually can't read on the computer for longer than 3 to 4 hours, but I sat and read like a good girl for 9 hours straight, taking only one break to go to the library. ( you neededn't worry I did feed myself along the way )

Palmer writes in a way that never lets you wander off the pages, when one problem gets fixed another rises and you just can't stop reading wither it's pining for a warrior, keeping secrets or all hell breaking loose! There isn't a dull moment in Ecstasy Untamed! You won't be bored at any point.

This book is seriously addictive! I find myself itching to get the 5 previous books, like right away.(less)

This is by far my new favorite in the series. The new arcs in the storyline are a wonderful expansion to the Feral Warriors world.

ECSTASY UNTAMED was the 6th book in the Feral Warriors series. As I did not read the previous ones, I can not compare, but what I can say is that it was a very interesting and intriguing novel. Right from the start I was captivated and couldn’t put the book down. It was probably one of the better reads I have had this fall. I will at some point go back and read the other novels if only to see how the characters have developed. There was a lot of action which kept my attention. This book should b...more

I will admit I have read all the feral warriors books in Pamela Palmer's exciting paranormal series and I will also admit the last book in the series, Hunger Untamed left me lukewarm. So I came into Ecstasy Untamed with my expectations lower than usual.

So I came into Ecstasy Untamed with my expectations lower than usual.

Ecstasy focuses on Hawke, a character that always interested me all the way along in this series. He is recently rescued from a hellish prison with Tighe. Whereas Tighe had his bond with his mate to see him through, Hawke is not so lucky. He always had a prickly relationship with his inner animal spirit ( a Hawk, natch) and this nightmarish event just further strains the bond.

I like the subplot of when Tighe and Hawke are released, the animal spirits of long dead feral warriors are also released and looking for worthy hosts. YAY! More Feral Warriors! This series could go on forever at this rate. But the people showing up at the Feral compound are a little worrying to the other warriors. Something is not quite right.

Maxium is a case in point. He shows up all arrogance and attitude with a woman in tow, Faith, who he claims will be his mate. Hawke is none to thrilled to hear this news as he feels a pull/attraction toward Faith. Hawke is not alone in this feeling, Faith feels it as well. But isn't she destined to be Maxium's?

This is one of those books that you really need to read the previous books in the series to get a firm grip on the plot. Pamela quickly explains various back story plots, but it is not enough I feel for a new reader to get a grasp on all the intricate plots and characters.

The conflict and the romance is well done this time around, Hawke is wonderful. His inner struggle with his animal spirit makes him tortured and appealing, and Faith is the female counterpart to that. As with the other Feral books, the romance is tied up in a nice neat package, but cliffhangers abound. I know some readers don't like it, but here it works. Also the interaction between the Feral Warriors fuels these books. They are more than brothers. There is an unbreakable bond between men when they go into battle together and Pamela really drives that point home with her warriors. They fight and love fiercely which makes them so damned sexy.

I read a netgalley of this, but I will be sure to get the paperback to add to my collection. I really had no objections to the book except the ending, I sort of guessed what was going to happen, I would have liked to have been a little more surprised. Regardless, Ecstasy Untamed was a solid, very enjoyable paranormal read with sexy leads and fantastic characters backing them up. Can I say 'ouch' with what happened to Jag? *tease*

4.5 stars out of 5 for the Book (rounded up to 5)

And YAY! Paul Marron on the cover! He's a perfect Hawke! Paul was also on Desire Untamed cover as Lyon.(less)

3.5 stars - good solid paranormal romance. Faith is living in Warsaw, helping runaway teenagers because although she's over 100 years old, she looks 18. One night she meets Maxim, a feral, and even though there's no sexual attraction, there's something that calls to both of them. He takes her to Feral House, where she meets Hawke and that's where she finds her sexual attraction although she's supposed to be Maxim's mate. Then she finds out Maxim's a real sick-o and full of evil plans and Hawke's...more

Faith is a Therian woman over 100 years old who has lived in Europe her whole life. She lives among young human girls working on the streets helping them get off and better thei lives.

As she is walking home one night the new Feral warrior Maxim sees her. They are drawn to each other & he claims her as his mate. She feels the pull & agrees and they immediately leave for the Feral house in the US.

Maxim believes he is aboe all in class & is very rude at the Feral house embarrassing Faith. Faith has met Hawke & is drawn to him with feeling & not just a pull. They try to avoid each other because she is Maxims mate.

Maxim is supposed to be the Fox shifter, but now who knows because come to find out 17 souls were released from a worm hole vortex where the souls of these animals have been held for 100's of years. AND something isn't right about some of them.

Maxim is truly evil, and you find AFTER the first 3 boring chapters & at that moment, the book takes off! Give it time. It's a 4 star book for me, but because page 124 freaked me out so bad, I had to give it a 5 star rating. I got chills & I never expected that one. VERY DARK!

Faith is a happy & sweet fun girl with blue tipped hair & she feels she has to be with Maxim because she is supposed to be his mate. (view spoiler)

Faith is the only one who can calm Hawke & So many things are happening because the release of the 17.... I could go on and on.

I put the spoiler in, because I wished I had been given that info. msel. It took me 3 days to get through the first 3 chapters because I was bored with the push over heroine. I could have just forced my way through to the good parts, knowing they were coming, but I wasn't looking forward to almost 400 pages of this... It got WAAAAY better!

I also have to admit that there is a ton of recap if you just start with this book. You won't feel lost. Since I have read them all close together & heard it all before, I did skip those parts. Didn't hurt at all!

A break has occurred and if it’s not repaired, the break will cause the hawk to find a new Feral and Hawke will die. Maxim arrives with his soon to be mate Faith at Feral house as the replacement for the Fox feral. Faith has a calming effect on Hawke’s bird, and Faith feels a strong attraction for Hawke, quite different than what she feels for Maxim, but mating bonds are not meant to be broken. Maxim turns out to be something none of the Ferals bargained for and what should be a joyous time could be the beginning of the end.

For me this was by far the darkest, but the best book of the series. I was gasping and "Oh, no"...ing through the whole book. Lots and LOTS of jaw dropping surprises in this one. Annnnnd you know I don't do spoilers, but I will tell you to have your reading routine set up, because once you start, you will NOT put this book down. For those unfamiliar with the series, the Ferals are a group of other beings, who have been chosen by a spirit animal to become basically immortal and protect the races, Therians and humans from the evil Mages who work for evil and darkness. They are guided and fed by The Radiant, a female who is always mated to a feral, and connects with the Earth's energies. They are hunted by Mages, practitioners of dark magic and keeper of demons. Pamela Palmer has created a very detailed and compelling world with her Feral series.

In his book, Hawke is much darker. Whereas before the spirit trap Hawke was actually one of the more laid back, calmer Ferals, in this book, the opposite is completely true. Faith was a good match for Hawke. She is a Therian who has secrets, and Maxim capitalizes on those secrets. Oh, and Maxim. He is such a tool of a villain. Ms. Palmer out did herself with this one. Ugh! I love the fact that even though each book focuses on an individual Feral's story, the others always have a huge impact and their lives continue to progress in each book. Even though they get a HEA, it doesn't necessarily stay that way. You can NOT go wrong reading this book. It is one of the best reads you'll have all year.(less)
