Untamed

De: Nora Roberts

Narrado por: Kate Rudd

A carefree performer finds her heart drawn to a man unused to being in the spotlight in life and love in Untamed by #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts.

Lawyer Keane Prescott goes from courtroom to center ring when he inherits his late father’s family business—a circus. Working with acrobats and clowns hold no appeal for him, but his curiosity about animal acts is piqued after meeting lion tamer Jovilette Wilder. As bold and unpredictable a force of nature as the big cats she trains, Jo is wary her new boss intends to cage her passion. But to her surprise, Keane is more than willing to join Jo for a walk on the wild side.

timeless

Originally published in October 1983 as part of Silhouette Romance #252. This is one of Roberts’ early stories that has stuck with me over the years. Jo Wilder always impressed me as strong, confident, intelligent and pretty independent, my very favorite characteristics in a FMC. It is sad in that these traveling circuses no longer exist in the U.S.
Possible Spoilers:
Jovilette Wilder is only 22 but has lived and breathed Prescott’s Circus Colossus her entire life. She’s a lion trainer, daughter of a lion trainer and an aerialist. She speaks and reads almost 7 languages and has never felt limited. Her mentor and guardian, Frank Prescott, died of a sudden heart attack 6 months previously when his son finally arrives to look over his inheritance. Sparks fly. Can a lawyer from Chicago and a circus performer truly fall for each other? And find a way to bridge two worlds?
Rudd does a good job with narration but the recording quality leaves a bit to be desired.

A waste of money.

The entire story line fell flat. I’m not going to be purchasing any more of Nora Roberts books unless she goes back to when she wrote great stories.

Wanted more, very good nonetheless

I wanted more. I don't know where would be good to develop.Very good listen nonetheless.

I ended up really liking it

In the beginning, I had a hard time turning off my A.D.H.D. but I really enjoyed it. I'm glad I stuck with it.

made me cringe

this was definitely not romantic. the male character is way too forceful I'm totally disrespectful.
