Publisher: Wildbloom Press

Desperate for work to avoid eviction from her Seattle apartment, photographer Chey Sinclair accepts a rare opportunity to travel abroad and photograph Latvala Royalty. Encountering the Royals for the first time, Chey experiences an instant attraction to Mattias, second in line to the throne. He's charming, confident—and taken.

During a horseback ride to clear her head, Chey finds herself in a scuffle with Sander Fisk, head of security. Rugged, determined and sharp tongued, Sander is infuriating as well as intriguing.

Faced with conflicting emotions and a mystery unfolding in the castle, Chey must decide between men: a Prince of Latvala, or an arrogant rogue.

She discovers the hard way that this particular fairy tale was more than she ever bargained for.

Heir Untamed is the first book in the Latvala Royals Series by Danielle Bourdon. Chey is someone we can all relate to, and she's entered this new life that is unlike anything she's ever know. I think her reactions were pretty believable. I love her attitude towards everything. She's got spunk. Mattias takes a liking to Chey even though he's supposed to be with someone else. The attraction is mutual in the beginning. Then Chey meets Sander, and their chemistry is something you can't ignore. Sander had me at hello, that's for sure. Chey meets resistance from the family who don't want some commoner dating Mattias. More is going on too. The longer she stays, the more she realizes all is not safe in the castle. I didn't know there was going to be some suspense thrown into this love story, but there was and I enjoyed it. We get some fun little surprises too! The full mystery hasn't been resolved, and it leaves me eagerly wanting to know more.

Born and raised in Corona California, Danielle Bourdon has been dreaming up stories since she was 11. Her first two novels, Dréoteth and Bound by Blood, were published in 2010. She has already written a third novel, Sin and Sacrifice, which is due for release sometime in the summer of 2011. Her love of the thriller and horror genre prompted her to write a collection of short horror stories titled Cemetery Psalms and a Zombie Kids short story series, both available in January, 2011.
