Layla Nickelsen has spent the majority of her life knowing she is different. She's also spent it running, knowing that at some point a predestined mate would come looking for her, a mate she doesn't' want. Her mother went insane after her Amoveo father abandoned them. Who's to say it'll be any different for Layla? Hoping to hide out for a while in the one place she considers safe, Layla runs home, only to discover that her mate has not only found her but has followed her there.

William Fleury can't believe he's finally found his mate, especially one as free-spirited as Layla. Now if only he could get her to accept that fact that they're meant for each other. Constantly worried that the Puriests, the group of Amoveo's dedicated to killing anyone who isn't pure Amoveo, are going to come after Layla and her adoptive family, William will do anything to protect them, even if it means walking away from the woman he loves.

I started reading Sarah Humphreys' UNTAMED not knowing it was the third book in the Amoveo Legend series. Admittedly it took me a chapter or two to get into the book because the story picks up from where the last book left off, but once I got over that initial hurdle, I was hooked. The thing I probably liked most about this story was Humphreys went beyond the predestined mate insta-love and actually focused on building a relationship between her characters. The sizzling chemistry, drama and suspense were enough to make me a fan of this series. I can't wait to read the previous books and I look forward to future installments.

Book Summary

The Amoveo are an ancient race who've lived secretly among humans for thousands of years. They are beautiful and incredibly strong but their race is extremely fragile—each has until the age of 30 to find their soul mate, before their bodies start to die a slow, painful death.

Layla Nickelsen has spent her life running from a mate she didn't choose, until William Fleury finally confronts her. Normally stoic and unemotional, William finds himself befuddled by Layla: his growing feelings for her and his driving need to protect her. And Layla has to admit that William might be everything she's always wanted after all...
