Katie Benson is a long way from her wealthy father’s high security walled estate.  She lives in a small town on the Florida Gulf Coast with a teaching job, friends, and a modest home she loves. When her friend Piper goes behind her back and tells her father about her persistent, unwanted suitor turned stalker, her father sent his top security man, Blake Malone.  The two had a past.  Blake was older by eleven years, although it met less now then when she tried to seduce him at seventeen.  Things escalate when Blake’s tires are shredded, and then a man she dated just one time is found dead and the police suspect foul play. Blake has to forget his feelings and concentrate if he’s going to protect her.

Danger and sexual tension. What could be better? Untamed Kiss is a fast paced, erotic thrill ride.  She wants him, he wants her, and a stalker threatens to ruin everything if her over-protective father doesn’t step in first and fire Blake for betraying his trust by corrupting his daughter. There is just so much going on between the history between them when she was a teenager and the adult relationship they are headed for. The fact that Blake’s sexual needs lean towards BDSM makes everything a little edgy.

The plot was especially well thought out and expertly written. The relationship, past and present, and the danger are all weaved together perfectly. The secondary characters, her friend Piper and her deputy boyfriend, are an integral part of the story as they help Blake protect the woman he is falling in love with. I was really impressed with the book and plan to read more of Joyce Palmer’s work. This one’s a keeper.
