Lana Dare

I spent a few days trying to write this review and when I gave up for the night last night and try to get some sleep everything I wanted to say or can think of to say just starts popping into my head. I would have crawled my sorry butt back out of bed to write it all out but my husband is awake before the butt crack of dawn to go to work, so I had to wait to wake up and get my chores done before I could start writing this review so here we are on Untamed Desire.

I started with the Desire, Oklahoma series (written under the name Leah Brooke) and then I discover The Founding Fathers (written under name Lana Dare) and well I just had to dive in to the beginning so I could get back to the modern-day version. After all one should always start at the beginning which brings me to Untamed Desire the first in the Desire, Oklahoma: The Founding Fathers. An extremely steamy, erotic story about Maggie and her men, Eb and Jeremiah that is so well written that I found only one small error which a simple period can fix. The steamy, erotic parts are numerous however they don’t over run the storyline to the point of drowning out the plot of the story which I think centers around Maggie, Eb and Jeremiah settling into married life with the addition of Maggie settling into a new location away from the home she has always know. There are few hair-raising moments to go along with the many steamy climatic moments but I think you will enjoy the moments that are definitely foreplay the most.

What I didn’t like about Untamed Desire was the egoistical male chauvinism however accurate it was for the time period. But I think the thing I disliked the most out of the alpha males in this story was how everything about Maggie, even her past was their business while their man whoring past was none of her business, I really hate double standards, it is huge pet peeve of mine but again it is probably a most accurate mentality of the men of that time frame.

I have loved this series of books so far. I like finding out how Desire, Oklahoma came about. I was also glad to see Savannah, Wyatt and Hayes get their story so soon. Ms. Oak can write some of the hottest love scenes on the market and she can also write heroines that make you want to spank them yourself. I appreciate Savannah wanting to get away from her uncle. The man was evil and deserves whatever punishment that he gets. However trying to make across the territories of the west by herself wasn't a really smart move. It was good to see Maggie and Eb and Jeremiah again and catch up with what has happened with them so far. It was also nice to see some of the other men. I hope that Ms. Oak keeps writing this series just to see how things evolve in Desire over time.… (altro)

I really enjoyed reading how Desire, Oklahoma came into being. I am also glad that Maggie, Eb and Jeremiah were able to work out the difficulties of forming a Menage relationship. I am sure that in the West were women were in short supply this type of relationship would have been less frowned on than now. Ms. Brooke writes characters that are full of personality and fun to get to know. She also seems to have a good grasp of what life was like in the Old West. This is a story that is going to have you setting on the edge of your seat. It is a fun, quick read. I look forward to the next book in this series.… (altro)
