To Tame A Wild Heart: A Zyne Witch Urban Fantasy Romance Kindle Edition

by Gwen Mitchell (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 44 ratings
She's fierce, but he's never met a creature he couldn't tame.

Audrey's never felt bad about using her magical gifts to survive on the streets, but apparently the witch council has a problem with it. Now she's trapped in their fortress and forced to study their rules or else lose her powers entirely. Escaping would be much simpler if the reclusive falconer assigned as her mentor wasn't so disarmingly perceptive and distractingly sexy.

Corvin would rather tend to his birds and keep out of council recruiting efforts, but when his sanctuary is threatened, he reluctantly takes on a novice to train. Only, Audrey is wilder and more broken than any of the animals he cares for. It will take all of his considerable patience and empathic powers to break down her walls, but the more time they spend together, the more danger he is in of losing his heart.

With a young girl to rescue, a band of evil sorcerers hunting her, and the immortal guards of the council haunting her every move, Audrey's only choice is to betray the one person who's ever really seen her. She doesn't believe in happy endings...but what if she's wrong?

This story also features: a nosy raven sidekick, an overbearing Oracle/mother, a fallen angel with his own agenda, and an epic battle with evil sorcerers.

ARCANE MYSTERIES ~ SPELLBOUND ADVENTURE ~ WICKED TEMPTATION
 
The mortal plane is the crucible in which light and darkness battle for the karma of all human souls. Though most people have only one chance to make their mark, some are chosen by Fate to be reborn once in each sign. These souls--the Zyne--are bestowed with magical gifts to help them defend the cosmic order, which grow stronger in each life. But not all those who are gifted choose the light. Ancient evil forces seek to corrupt this celestial power and tear reality asunder.

For generations, the Zyne have remained hidden, guardians of the arcane mysteries and relics of magic on earth. Mages. Prophets. Healers. Heretics. They have been revered and reviled, but they have endured--an invisible shield between mundane society and the nightmares lurking in the shadows. As long as the Wheel of Stars keeps turning, as long as Fate keeps calling them back, they will protect the Zyne Legacy.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Dear Reader,
 If you're a fan of Charmed, Vampire Diaries, The Originals or Supernatural, you'll probably find something to like here. I enjoy mixing magical realism with a little bit of pagan mythology and adding a splash of the fantastic.  My witches use incense, crystals, and tarot cards, but they can also wield fireballs, control the weather, and look into the future.  Also, check out my Zyne world aesthetic boards on Pinterest if you like cool visuals.  Since I don't like to be put in a single box, my stories are a fairly even blend of adventure/suspense and romance.  Not as steamy as Kresley Cole, but more angst and sexy time (17+) than your typical kickass urban fantasy.  Books marked ROMANCE have an HEA. Otherwise, no guarantees.  XOXO~Gwen

    Thoughts: Awesome!!! Freaking awesome!! This hit so close to home for me, I totally understood Audrey and her fear of letting anyone in. And I loved how it wasn't just a love story, the world that Ms. Mitchell created seemed so real and exciting! I haven't read this author before but boy am I glad I have now! She now has a new stalker, I mean follower. This story will melt your heart yet give you some much needed action. And I totally call dibs on Corvin (swoon), he is my new number one favorite book boyfriend. I really hope this is a LONG series because I just love the Zyne world!! Every page is like a present, something new to unfold. A must read for all paranormal fans!

    Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work and chose to write a review.

    To Tame a Wild Heart is a series starter for the Zyne Legacy romances. This story is set in a world that has magic, witches, wraiths, and the non-magical folk. Ignorant to life beyond the ordinary Audrey Taylor was a street hustler who did what was necessary to live. She knows only one thing – trust no one. Being on the streets has put Audrey in a few bad situations and at the start of the story she is in a horrible one. Shortly after escaping that dire situation she is captured and brought to a fortress where her worst nightmare is realized.

    Audrey had always been different from the others growing up. At an early age she realized that she had some “powers” and used them as her ace in the hole. It always gave her an edge because she had powers that no one else did. What Audrey had not previously known was that she was descended from witches and that her powers were not supposed to be used in the manner she was. When she had been brought to the fortress her powers had been stripped. To have them nullified took away every sense of security that she had and she rebelled at the idea. It was because of her ignorance that the Council was giving Audrey a chance to learn instead of killing her outright. Audrey was put on a “probation” of sorts but she was not grateful at all. A gilded cage was still a cage.

    The Synod Council has very specific rules for how witches are supposed to behave and Audrey was in violation of their laws. Under the rules of her probation, her powers were nullified except in certain circumstances and they gave her a period of three moons to learn control over her powers and what her responsibilities were in the non-magical world. Although, before Audrey realized that her powers had been stripped she had tried to break out of where she was being held, but that jailbreak ended badly. The only reason she even survived was due to Colvin’s interference. Unperturbed, Audrey vowed that she would not give up trying to get free. She had some unfinished business on the outside.

    Colvin always preferred the company of his birds to that of people. He was proud to be a witch and damn good at it but he was not necessarily a fan of the politics. He had always strived to stay as uninvolved as possible. He even took the office of the Falconer, a job that was more about preservation of history than a useful service. It was happenstance that he saved Audrey but his actions sealed his fate. When he was given the ultimatum of either taking on a novice initiate, i.e. Audrey, or losing his birds, Colvin begrudgingly became Audrey’s mentor.

    Neither Colvin or Audrey were happy with the arrangement, the limitations that it put on both of them chafed. They definitely did not become fast friends. If anything, they spent all their available time antagonizing each other. Colvin and Audrey may have resented what the other one stood for but their sexual attraction was “hello!” They had an immediate attraction but that was the only thing that happened immediately. Definitely made for a swoony romance by the end. I loved it.

    One of my favorite elements in To Tame a Wild Heart was the inclusion of the birds. Especially Smoke, the feathered side-kick to Colvin. He may have not had any lines but he was able to express himself in several different ways. I absolutely loved the bird behaviors that were written into this story, even made me laugh out loud a few times. While reading the story I had questions that popped up, were answered later, but then some more questions arose and were left unanswered. I am hoping that those questions will be answered in the next installment in this series. I absolutely want more time in the Zane society. I want to learn their history and how their society functions. This was an entertaining read that was engaging from the start. It is a good read!

    This review is based on a complimentary book I received from Xpresso Book Tours. It is an honest and voluntary review. The complimentary receipt of it in no way affected my review or rating.

    This is my first experience with Gwen Mitchell. I had a delightful time diving into her Zyne Legacy. It was different and unique.

    To Tame a Wild Heart is book one in the Zyne Legacy series. It’s a fast-paced adventure into a witchy world.

    Empathic powers, evil sorcerers, animal characters, and witches are just a few of the things we are treated too. I enjoyed both Corvin and Audrey. We get to learn about their past and their magic. As for their romance it was sweet. I really loved Corvin. He understands Audrey, that she is as wild as the animals her cares for, and so he knows how to win her over. Their where also several secondary characters to enjoy and the plot was fascinating. We learn of the dangers in their world; both from mundane and the magical beings. As for the witch society I’m not sure how I feel about it, yet. I need more time in this world to fully decided.

    As I was reading I did have some questions pop up and they did get answered, but I also had more questions by the end that where left un-answered.

    To Tame a Wild Heart was a satisfying read and I’m curious to read on.

    Rated: 3.5 Stars
