review 1: Wow. This novel won the Australian Romance Readers Award for Favourite Historical Novel and garnered it’s author the award for Favourite New Romance Author. It’s an impressive debut. The language she uses! Some of it is just breathtakingly lovely. Cowan seriously, and deliberately, messes with the usual Regency romance tropes, in a way that I found both entertaining and worthwhile. It is not perfect, there are flaws in some of the plotting and characterisation, but I would recommend it to anyone interested in reading a romance with a damaged, but delightful, non-Alpha male and a devastatingly blunt female. In fact, even leaving the romance aside, it is worth reading just for the climactic scene of two strong female characters facing off in an exceptional battle of skil... morel and psychology.
review 2: What a marvelous debut. This is an intense story with a myriad of interesting, humorous, sad, competitive characters. The author nailed these characteristics in the leads as well as several supporting roles without resorting to cliches. I loved them all, even when they were showing their unlovable human sides. The hero and heroine's relationship was exciting, had me worried for each on different occasions, and turned on its ear several times as it unfolded into a fulfilling partnership. I will without a doubt re-read this some day and the author is going right to auto buy. I'm thrilled to know she's out there, working up more fabulous stories like Untamed. 4.5-5 stars less
