Looking to escape for just a little bit and hoping that a change of scenery will help him, he agrees to join Isabelle and Stefan in Bermuda.
What he doesn’t expect is for Emma to walk into his life and change it in ways that he had never anticipated. Just when he finally begins to find some peace in his life, a dangerous threat from Emma’s past arrives.

Untamed by Brenda K. Davies
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Untamed by Brenda K. Davies is the third book in her Vampire Awakenings series.
It takes a lot for me to invest in a paranormal book as I need for it to be good in order to learn the world, the rules etc.
This book was worth it and then some.
Ethan is joining his sister and her new husband on their extended vacation in the Bahamas. He needs the escape and he misses his sister. He is worried about the constant battle he's waging internally against the bloodlust and craving for violence that is ever present.
Emma is on vacation in the Bahamas with her two besties celebrating their college graduation. She has a scary ex from a year ago that she's trying to forget completely. Not that she's sad, just really creeped out by the situation.
The second these two are in the same room together there's an instant connection. Emma calms Ethan and Ethan is the most beautiful specimen of man she's ever laid eyes on.
So that in and of itself is a great story, add in the vampire aspect and the imminently dangerous situation that occurs and it was a pure pleasure to read this book and I plan to try and squeeze in more from this author.

Excerpt:
They were almost to the door when the sky opened up and a deluge of rain began to fall. He went to hold her back but she was already stepping outside. He followed her out the door and stood beside her beneath the overhang as the rain pelted the ground around them in a loud crescendo that drowned out the noise of the restaurant.
"It should be over soon," he said. "We can wait inside."
The mischievous look she shot him over her shoulder should have warned him, but he still wasn't expecting it when she asked, "Why?" and stepped into the storm.
Disbelief and amusement filled him as she tilted her head back and lifted her arms to the sky. Laughter trailed from her as the rain falling over her plastered the deep blue dress to her body. He could only stand and stare as she tilted her head back to the sky. There was something about the picture of her, laughing in the rain that made his heart clench, and caused a strange warmth to spread throughout him.
He thought he could stand there and watch her forever but the urge to touch her drove him toward her and into the rain. She was still laughing as she dropped her head down to look at him. Rain had turned her hair darker and caused it to curl as it clung to her face and neck. He barely noticed the drops of water as they pelted against him; the only thing he could focus on was her.
"It feels wonderful!" she cried above the noise.
He didn't know what possessed him, but words completely failed him. It felt as if he had been taken over by something entirely primitive, he felt a burning itch that would only be appeased by touching her. Wrapping his arm around her waist, he lifted her up and pressed her flush against his body. Her mouth parted but before she could speak, his lips descended upon hers in a kiss that would have been bruising if the contact of their mouths hadn't immediately eased some of the savage strain within him.
A low groan escaped him; his erection was extremely uncomfortable as it pressed against the front of his jeans. Her fingers curled into his shoulders, her mouth opened to his. She tasted of wine as his tongue entwined with hers. He could lose himself in her forever; if it wasn't for the fact that he wasn't going to allow anyone else to see her naked, he would have taken her here and now without any thought to where they were. If it were any other girl he wouldn't have cared if someone else saw her body, but no other woman had ever driven him this crazy before or pushed him to these kinds of heights. No way was he about to play show and tell with any part of her body.
