Summary: A great sexy medieval
Comment: OK, I admit it I've never read an Elizabeth Lowell book until now. Whew, I didn't realize what I was missing! This was one of those rare books that hooked me in & wouldn't let me put it down.
The book starts out with the pending marriage of Lady Margaret (Meg) & returning Crusader Dominic le Sabra. Neither have laid eyes on the other before but are both willing to go along with the prearranged marriage. Meg accepts this as her fate (although she is by no means a wimp!) & Dominic wants to claim the castle & lands that come along with Meg and begin working on making himself some heirs. Only problem is that Meg happens to be one of the cursed Glendruid (white) witches that for centuries have been unable to conceive male offspring because of a witche's past mistake and the missing Glendruid Wolf. It has been rumored that all Glendruid women are unable to fall in love with a man and vice versa because their powers of perception make them cold and impossible to love. This isn't the only obstacle the couple must face in order to find happiness....
Meg is a charming heroine with a touching love for her people & land who will sacrifice everything to save the people who mean so much to her. She's truly an admirable character. Dominic is a wonderful scarred hero who wants nothing more than to settle down and end all of the fighting and bloodshed.
Overall this was a very sensuous and tender love story with a wonderful ending. I highly recommend it & can't wait to dig into the other books in this trilogy.

Summary: A deep moving book - my very favorite historical romance
Comment: Dominic le Sabre is home from the Christian Crusades and is a national hero. The king gives him the castle and lands of Blackthorne and arranges a marriage with Lady Margaret of Blackthorne. Lady Margaret (Meg) accepts her fate as Dominic's wife and begins earnestly working with this new arrangement to best benefit all the people of Blackthorn. Dominic is ready to relish this new life and desires heirs from his new wife. Thus begins this magnificent love story you won't forget.
It is so refreshing to read a story about an arranged marriage in a historical novel that has two mature participants. There is not even a shadow of the usual, overused plot lines in this type of situation. Both Dominic and Meg sincerely long to make the marriage work and care for the other. There is none of the spite, the betrayal, the deceit, the rudeness, the ruthlessness, and the hate on the part of the husband or wife as is routinely written in this sort of story setting.
Meg now ranks as my favorite heroine. She is REAL - like a sensible, mature woman would be. She sincerely seeks what is best for her people and her husband. Meg portrays honesty and kindness but is not weak and does not see herself as a martyr. She determines to allow the marriage to be the best it can be. Of course, she realizes that the marriage can only be what Dominic allows it to be as well.
Dominic is magnificent as the medieval knight and new husband. He is genuinely a great hero in many ways and demonstrates true honor. He is also the typical type A male but we eventually see tenderness under his hard exterior. In the beginning, Dominic has little hope that his marriage will be anything other than an arranged marriage in which he will do his part to produce heirs. He actually propositions Meg to be his leman in the beginning of the book - mistaking Meg as a servant. But once he finds out that Meg is his future wife, he no longer seeks a leman.
Elizabeth Lowell is an incredible writer. This is not a light read. The story is deep and the characters are very well developed. You are literally immersed in every page. There are few sensual scenes in the book and they occur in probably the last fourth of the book. These scenes are wonderfully written with a great deal of beauty. The sensual scenes rate about a 3 1/2 out of 5 (see More About Me for rating guidelines).
This is a wonderfully written book with great historical detail, mysticism, likeable characters, and a fantastic plot. It is exciting to discover this author. She has written many books and I am anxious to read many more of her books. Untamed is first in a series of three: Untamed, Forbidden, and Enchanted. I will definitely keep this book on my favorite shelf to read again - probably more than once - and I know that I will savor it all over again.

Summary: The book that started it all... for me
Comment: This is the book that got me into historical romance. I had never read a romance novel before, and I was SO glad to come across it. I am in love with the Medieval era and if I could go back in time, that's were I'd go. The story was so exciting and I loved both the hero and the heroine. The two other books in the series 'Forbidden'and 'Enchanted' are just as good, if not better. These books are to date my favorite in the genre. They are fast reads, they never get boring, and if your like me, will move you deeply.
