Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
Running from angry villagers and the man who ravaged her, the witch Lucinda flees into the forest to have her child. But Lord Jackson Wulf hunts her down, believing her death will break the family curse that transforms him into a monster. Instead of killing the witch, Jackson is moved by her beauty and desperate plight. And Lucinda seizes the chance to find safety for herself and her babe when a bargain is struck between this outcast woman and this doomed man—and sealed by their marriage in name only…

In return for his protection, Lucinda has promised that her magick can free Jackson from his torment. But this pretty witch soon finds herself in danger of being seduced by Jackson’s charms and pursued by the man who would see both her and her child dead. Can she trust a Wulf with her safety and the safety of her child? Can she trust her heart to Jackson? To surrender to a Wulf is a terrible risk, for love will either unleash the beast within the man...or finally set him free.

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - The Untamed One
Jackson Wulf is in search of the witch who has cursed his family, which has caused each male born into the Wulf family to eventually become a wolf during the full moon. Jackson finds the woman he believes to be the one responsible for the curse laboring to deliver a baby and she asks for his help.


Lucinda is a witch, a white witch. After being attacked by Lord Cantley she has hidden out while preparing for the birth of her babe. Instead of killing her, Jackson helps her, but her respite is short lived. The villagers are attacking them, so Jackson offers to let her live; for now. He fights off the villagers as the wolf and Lucinda flees into the night with her newborn.


Lucinda is living on Jackson's family estate now. She and Jackson make a deal where Lucinda will endeavor to break the curse that binds him, if Jackson will provide protection for her and her son Sebastian. So far, their only complication is the growing attraction between them. Lucinda is wary of men and Jackson is confused by Lucinda's repeated refusal of his seductive advances. The feelings Lucinda is provoking in him though are new. Jackson and Lucinda are expected to marry but their relationship is still strained.


A startling encounter with Lord Cantley creates more dangerous complications in Jackson and Lucinda's lives. Lucinda makes a sacrifice for Jackson and Sebastian but Jackson refuses to accept it. They discover that a gift that comes from within, may be the answer they have been seeking all along.


In The Untamed One, Lucinda is an innocent and tender-hearted young woman. She distrusts because no one has ever proven themselves as trustworthy to her. Jackson curse tortures him. He is desperate to end it and he uses his vices to provide a temporary comfort, but Lucinda shows him the power that love holds. Their journey toward love and happiness is arduous and complicated but the rewards are plentiful for them. The Wulf family curse is as fascinating as it is frightening. The ending provides a dramatic twist that left me wide eyed and glued to the pages. The Untamed One is a story filled with passion, mystery, intriguing characters and amazing paranormal events.

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Wulfs book 2
This was my favorite of all 3 books. Who doesn't love a man willing to care for a child that isn't even his.


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Great Read
I orginally borrowed this book from the library. It was so good that I've decided to purchase the book. The twist and turns are amazing. Towards the end, Lucinda does something I would have never suspected which shows her true feelings for the hero, Jackson more than words could. The book from the beginning, starts off with a bang with Lucinda giving birth. Never a dull moment.


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - 4.5 Blue Ribbons from Romance Junkies!
Jackson Wulf is a man on a mission. He has spent years trying to find a solution to the curse plaguing his family, and is finally on the trail and scent of a witch. This witch is the key to alleviate his curse and nothing is going to stop Jackson from finding the old crone and killing her.

Jackson's witch extermination plan comes to a screeching halt when he finally finds her. The old, wart-faced hag he envisions is actually a young, beautiful woman about to give birth at any minute. The witch knows why Jackson is there and is resigned to her fate, but begs him to help her deliver her child. She also extracts a promise from Jackson that he will raise her child after her death. Jackson agrees to the witch's demand but before he can kill her, angry hunters are heard outside the shack and Jackson's inner beast breaks free and runs off to safety.

Lucinda has been shunned by her village her entire life. Even though Lucinda has only used her powers for good, she is still only trusted by villagers who need her help as a last resort and in the dead of the night. During one of these times, Lucinda was assaulted by a village elder and has to flee for her life and that of her unborn child into the forest. As her hunters draw near, Lucinda goes into labor and is unable to fend for herself. Jackson Wulf finds her hidden shelter and Lucinda knows that he is here to kill her. Death doesn't come to Lucinda as expected because Jackson shifts right before her eyes and vanishes into the darkness. Lucinda does the only thing she can think of to keep her child safe; she travels to London as the wife of Jackson Wulf.

The time is late and after a night of debauchery, Jackson only wants to go to bed. He is in for a surprise when he finds a warm, sleeping woman in his room posing as his wife! Both parties are shocked to see the other but soon come to an agreement to help each other. Time is not on their side, however, because the full moon is in mere days and Lucinda has just come face to face with the man that assaulted her and wanted her dead. It seems that nothing will stop this evil man from kidnapping Lucinda and harming her. This man doesn't count on Jackson Wulf, however, whose animal instincts have just been forced to the surface.

THE UNTAMED ONE by Ronda Thompson captivated me from the very first page and I was unable to put it down. It held me enthralled until I read the very last word. The storyline flowed, danger was afoot, and love was in the air. I highly recommend THE UNTAMED ONE and am looking forward to reading the subsequent installment in this series. Lucky for myself and other readers, there are two brothers left and I am anxiously awaiting their stories!

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Better than the very first one!
I expected the second book to be very much like the very first one but with different characters and different plot. What I mean when I say that I expected that the main line would be the same is that it would be the Wulf man meeting a woman, falling in love and then, recognizing those feelings would broke the curse. I was very surprised when I discovered that the curse and the way of breaking it is different from every brother. Every one of them has its own moster to face, and this I liked a lot.

Jackson is a very liekable character, because he is not perfect, he's flawed, then is not as honorable as Armond was in the very first book, and it makes for a nice change. Also, the femenine character is very much like him, one thing on the outside, a different one in the inside, and is wonderful when they come to grips with it and share it with each other.

The book is very gripping, and the only thing I missed was the heroine not having to be overly protected by the main chracter, because it reminded me a lot of the very first book, but then, what kind of hero or wolf would Jackson be if he didn't protect her female?

All in all, a good book and a fast read!
