Review: Untamed (Unbeautiful #2) by Jessica Sorensen

Synopsis  

Emery
No matter how hard I try, I never seem to be able to escape my family’s world. Their madness controls my life, just like insanity consumes my mind.
Sometimes it’s hard to tell what’s real.
Sometimes it’s hard to tell who I really am. The person everyone sees? Or the one I keep trapped inside?
I wonder which person Ryler sees. Just like I wonder who I can trust.
Wonder. Wonder. Wonder.
I wonder too much.
I wish I could just find a way to escape it all and finally be free.

Ryler
I live a double life and sometimes I hate myself for it. Watching Emery fall apart—pretending I don’t care—is killing me inside.
I want to tell her the truth, but I also want a new life.
Want. Want. Want.
I want too much. Sometimes it’s hard to tell what I really desire.
I wish I could be free from the confusion, free from this life.

What I thought about Untamed
 
 The first book in this series was all about secrets and not knowing exactly who was who and what was what.  It takes a little time to put all the pieces together in this second and final book of the series, and once again, it was all about the tension and danger Ryler and Emery are immersed in.

Now that Ryler knows who Emery is, he's tasked to take care of her in an abusive game run by Doc.  Ryler is convicted in a big way between blowing his cover and keeping Emery safe without being able to tell her anything about his secret agenda. 

There is so much tension in this book that when things finally come to a head and the big reveals are made, that feeling of doom carried through all the way to the end. I'm not going to spoil it by revealing how everything turns out since that ending still left me a little uneasy.

Overall, I loved this series, especially the tense atmosphere and the danger permeating every single scene. And I loved Ryler and Emery together and how they complimented each other, even when they tried to deny it.  The glimpses of Luke and Violet left me wanting more but really the stars of this series are Ryler and Emery and their journey out of fear.

Recommended for readers liking dark, intense story content, sprinkled with a good dash of hope.

Excerpt
“If you want to dance, dance. There’s no judgment at these things, which makes them pretty awesome.”
She smiles, and then threads her fingers through mine. “Okay, let’s dance, then.”
I don’t bother mentioning that dancing can be extremely sexy when done under the right circumstances—circumstances that usually include alcohol and sexual tension.
At first, Emery is cautious, keeping her distance from me as she rocks her hips to the music. I move with her. I’ve never really been into dancing, but I can rock out to a little garage rock any day. The longer the song goes on, the more into it she gets, until she finally spins around and presses her back against my chest. That’s when the two of us decide to start playing a dangerous game of Want But Can’t Have. A very, very dangerous game that is really fucking tortuous to play yet impossible to give up.
Emery starts grinding her hips to the sultry beat of the song. With each movement, her ass brushes against my cock, making me go rock hard. I grip the curves of her hips and my hands unnecessarily slip underneath the bottom of her shirt. My fingers delve into her soft flesh, and I bite back a moan. Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve forgotten just how soft her skin is, how amazing she smells, how incredible she feels against me.
She shivers from my touch and presses closer, rolling her hips and driving my body absolutely mad. She repeats the movement over and over again, until finally, I damn near lose my mind.
Gripping her waist, I spin her around to face me. “I thought you didn’t know how to dance?”
