✦✦✦ UNTAMED (Untamed #1) by Victoria Green and Jinsey Reese: by the Dark Fairy ✦✦✦

Rich, beautiful, and wild, Reagan McKinley has everything she needs...but nothing that she wants. That is, until she spends one hot night in the arms of sexy, unbridled Dare Wilde. She's a girl trapped in a rigid world she desperately wants to escape, and he's an untamed artist with an attitude, hell-bent on freeing her—body, mind, and soul. But Reagan's life is not her own, and Dare is not welcome in it. She can't include him in her carefully-controlled, extremely public lifestyle...and yet she cannot give him up. Will a shared passion for art—and, increasingly, each other—be enough to keep them together? Or will it be the thing that ultimately tears them apart?

What does a rich-girl-who-have-everything-money-could-buy and a struggling-house-painter have in common? Nothing much. Except for screwed-up dads and ART.

And oh boy do they have ART in common!!! It was both their passion and escape. 

Honestly speaking, this is one of the best romantic story I've read for this year and it excited me a lot as the story went on. It was really sweet how they developed feelings for each other. How they both became each other's escape aside from ART. How Dare make everything better for Ree. How Ree does the same for Dare. They were as flawed as they could be, especially their pasts, but they were perfect for each other. 

Don't even get me started on Ree's parents and siblings. They really make my blood boil! I want to flay them alive and laugh while they're writhing in pain.. (Haha! Dark Fairy tendencies coming out.)

I thought the conflict would easily be solved since they accepted their feelings for each other readily, and since I was fast approaching the end of the novella in my kindle. I thought love could and would conquer all obstacles. And so, it is with deepest regret that I admit that this story, this very page-turning and exciting novella has a cliffhanger ending.

YES, that's RIGHT! A Cliffhanger... :( 

(I so want to know what happens to the characters like, YESTERDAY!!!!) 

As much as I detest cliffhangers, I have to give this novella 4 fairy wings for the plot and for giving me the joyful experience of reading it.

I highly recommend this for those who are into romance and for those who don't mind cliffhanger endings. :)
