ARC Book Review – A Night of Untamed Pride by Gemma Black
When a book opens with a dedication “I reckon I could fuck a bunch of paranormal men for 24 hours straight for a million bucks”—I knew I was in the right place. Yes hi, hello, this book is calling me out by name and frankly I feel seen, attacked, and deeply grateful.
This spicy lil novella? Low plot priorities, just a ticket to Pound Town with a pitstop in Chaos City. Our FMC gets sold (don’t ask, just go with it it’s great) to a shifter … ...more

✨ 3.5 Stars — “Twenty-four hours suddenly seemed both too long and not nearly long enough.”
What if you put yourself on a supernatural auction block—offering your body to the highest bidder for one wild, unrestrained night? That’s the daring premise behind A Night of Untamed Pride, and Gemma Black wastes no time plunging us into the heat.
The Pride is no simple group of shifters. It’s a mix of supernatural dominance: a lion shifter Alpha, a vampire, and two fae males—each bringing a different flav ...more

I loved this book! It was a very much needed short, fast paced, steamy, why-choose, paranormal novella!
After selling herself as a "lot" at an auction, our FMC Jocelyn spends 24 hours with the Kazi pride. Sebastien-the alpha and lion shifter, Warrick-the broody vampire, and Alasdair and Evander - two fae "brothers". Lucky Jocelyn!
The progression through the story was fast paced, and the consistent referral back to how much time they had left really helped to build a sense of urgency toward the en ...more

ARC Book Review - A Night of Untamed Pride by Gemma Black
I didn’t know what I was going into with this book but am I glad I had the opportunity to read it? HECK YEAH! 3.5 stars
Paranormal and smut what more could a reader ask for… dive into a short story where the FMC puts herself up for auction to spend 24-hours with whomever is the highest bidder. For money or to act out her fantasies… who knows.
A day where anything… and I mean anything goes. From going shopping and having dinner to being plea ...more

Devoured this in a day while still getting the weekend errands ticked off the list - that’s a win.
A Night of Untamed Pride is a fast-paced, dramatic, spicy novella. And by spicy, I mean we get detailed descriptions of appendages that are very much not human. Don’t panic, ladies, was all purely for her pleasure. Nature finds a way. 🦁✨
Tiny gripe: some phrases repeated like they were on a greatest hits album and I was waiting for the so-called “domineering human side” Mr. Alpha hinted at. Did we g ...more

"If you think I'm going to miss out on a single minute of what you have planned for me...then you're insane. I want everything. I want your control...your bloodlust...and your games."
I loved this book and didn't want it to end.
The cover is sensational.
The spicy scenes were fantastic and the characters were great.
I loved how their all got their own spotlights as well as a good mix of shared scenes.
The entire pride dynamic was so unusual but worked sooooo well!

I knew this was going to be a 5 star read for me because I was keening with excitement at the dedication.
It's times like this i lived in a world where I could be auctioned off to 4 paranormal men for 24 hours, especially if they promised to do to me what they did to Jocelyn hehe. I loved everything about this. The scenes had me sweating and fanning myself. The way they treated her had me swooning, like what more could you ask for from a spicy novella.
Safe to say, I've walked away from this with ...more

Wow what a way to spend 24 hours then with 4 supernatural being and the money isn't bad either.
I loved reading this book and so can't wait for more like it. A quick spicy paranormal novella.
Gemma has made reading this book so easy with the way she has written all of the people involved in the auction as well as out of it.
Tropes: MMFMM, Why choose, spicy, paranormal, dom sub, one night only
Triggers: bondage, control, blood play, spanking
