Untamed [The Gritt Family series, Book Three] by Gabrielle G 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩, 𝘢 𝘫𝘰𝘭𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘮𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘴, 𝘐’𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨. *~*~*~* 𝕊𝕥𝕠𝕣𝕪𝕝𝕚𝕟𝕖: Avery is a single mom trying her best to make a living for herself and her daughter. When her ex blindsides her with rearranging their custody agreement AND kicking her out of her apartment, she’s left scrambling to find a living situation. Barnabas is the town party boy—always up for a good time, especially if that time involves a no-strings attached fling. But, when this momma’s boy is asked to help Avery and her daughter, he finds himself giving up that lifestyle to let them move in. But when Avery needs him to pretend to be her boyfriend to excuse their living arrangement with her ex, they both find that they might be in too deep. Can they both continue to live in the boxes they’ve put each other in, or will they find that there’s no boundaries when it comes to love? *~*~*~* 𝕊𝕖𝕩 𝕊𝕔𝕖𝕟𝕖𝕤: This author always knows how to write steamy scenes. ALWAYS. It’s respectful, yet raunchy. Gives slow burn vibes to explosive scenes. And has you feeling all the FEELS. I loved the scenes in this book—they’re as untamed as the title alludes to! 🔥🔥🔥🔥.5/5 for variety, frequency, and level of spice! *~*~*~* 【$】: FREE in KU! I’m going to come out and say that this book is my FAVORITE of the Gritt Family series. I’m not usually one to throw around words like ‘book boyfriend’, but if I were to ever have one, Barnabas would be mine. He’s soulful, fun, loving, and everything this quiet single momma would ever look for. If you’re looking for your next book boyfriend, give this book a DL!

    I received a free copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

    Omg I am in love with Barnabas Gritt! Not only is this a fake romance but is also an enemies to lovers story. There is so much heat between all the banter that is Barn and Avery. There is so much I loved about their story that would take days to list. If you read one book this year, make sure it's Untamed. Going to read the other two Gritt Family novels!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Story
    Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2021
    Format: Kindle
    Untamed is the first book by this author and I truly enjoyed this book. Untamed is standalone and is recommended you read the other books In the series first. It does not take away from the book, but I can see where I could understand the other couples a little more.

    Untamed is a perfect enemy to lovers book with a good amount of steam in the second half is the book.

    Barnabas and Avery have been enemies most of their lives. Avery hates him and assumes the worst of him besides being the town's manwhore. She is a single mother with a very complicated past with her daughter’s father. Barnabas is the town's manwhore who keeps all of his pain hidden inside, funny as all hell, and adores Avery’s daughter.

    Avery is stuck between a rock in a hard place and quick on her feet needs Barnabas help. Barnabas will help as it aids Avery’s daughter. They set rules in place and I have to laugh at the rules. After a life-changing kiss, everything changes, and I have whiplash from so much push and pull between the two.

    Untamed is a beautiful story. With some scheming in the background and suspense. My only constructive criticism is there is some repetition. I know Barnabas is a man whore. I didn’t need to be kept a reminder of the fact every so many chapters.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I Love Banarbas!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2021
    Format: Kindle
    Oh, Gabrielle, you have stolen my heart again. Just when I thought I could not love characters more than Dan, Lars, and Art, you bring around this Gritt family. Now I did enjoy Salome's book, and even though Chris took the name Gritt, he's not a Gritt (and I liked Chris a lot). And Luke, although a Gritt, hasn't been part of this series. Aaron and Alane broke me; their story was so painful and took so long. But Banarbas (sorry, can't resist that Lex-ism), he was something completely unexpected, and you didn't know you needed until he got there.

    Barnabas is this outward mixture of "hold my beer" jokester, stoner/hippie, and IDGAF. It's jarring to realize he's 38, and that sets the tone of the story. He seems as though on the surface to be ok with his life as the "town slut," but what we quickly discover most is supposition, which he does not dissuade. He's just going through the motions to a great degree--numb by choice. Avery is the stuck up one, and Barnabas has been the bane of her existence for as long as she can remember. She, too, is going through the motions to a great degree--just trying to survive as a single mom with a jerk of a sperm donor. So begins one of the BEST enemies to lovers stories I have ever read. These two characters are so unique, and when we get below the surface, we see two perfectly matched souls. Then there is Lex, Avery's daughter; she is, in a word, adorable. She owns Barnabas, heart, and soul. Barnabas and Avery were brave and bold; I loved that. They were unconventional, just like their parents. Once they found each other and acknowledged their feelings, they did not let go. Beautiful.

    This story wasn't angsty, it was a fun romp with the Gritt family, and all the Gritts were there. Plus, we got some inside information on the beginning of the next series/books. I hope hope hope there will be stories involved Lex and all her brothers and sisters, Arthur (son of Salome and Chris), and more about Aaron and Alane's kids. This family and extended family that loosely includes the Darling Devils just needs to continue into the next generation. There is no telling what high jinx can be gotten into with Barnabas, Dex, and Luke. But I definitely don't want to be saying good-bye to the Gritts just yet.

    5.0 out of 5 stars “One kiss is all it took to open the kingdom of possibilities of what we could be.”
    Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2021

    In Untamed, we finally get Barnabas’ story and I’m so here for it. Somehow I’ve known since the beginning of this series that I was going to love Barnabas the most and I certainly do! His and Avery’s story is raw and real and powerful.

    “Feeling you belong to the person you despised the most is phenomenal and painful at the same time.”

    Avery and Barnabas have been at each other’s throats for years, but Avery’s daughter, Lex, loves him. When he offers to watch Lex one night, Avery begins to see another side of him and when she slips and tells her ex that Barnabas is her boyfriend, the games begin.

    “He’s the most altruistic person I have ever met. He breathes to free me from my assumptions and my ways and helps me be who I’m supposed to be, not who I think I should be.”

    I wasn’t sure if I was going to like Avery because she seemed too judgmental and uptight at first, but as we got to know her and the reasons for her actions, I saw her strength. Barnabas helped her to open up and shed her walls and become more joyful.

    “When I’m near her, I feel I can be myself. I can be me, entirely, wholly, and I don’t have to hide.”

    I would have never guessed the pain that was hidden behind Barnabas’ mischievous grin. He was so broken and his love for Avery allowed him to grow up and begin to heal. His sweet soul and love for Avery and Lex was breathtaking.

    “We both know that one kiss is all it took to open the kingdom of possibilities of what we could be.”

    From the first kiss, both Avery and Barnabas realized that they shared a very special connection, which frightened both of them. The chemistry between them was palpable and they were truly soulmates. Once they started opening up to each rather than pushing each other away, they realized that they were better together than apart. Their journey was heartbreaking and beautiful.

    I have loved each and every one of the Gritt family books and I’m sad to say goodbye to them. This family is snarky but so full of love and laughs. Untamed is definitely my favorite in the series. Barnabas and Avery’s relationship will tug at your heart and make you FEEL!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Barnabas is the epitome of a perfect bookboyfriend
    Reviewed in Germany on January 27, 2021

    This book is exactly what I needed.
    This story is an emotional roller-coaster, an explosion of raw feelings and an authentic struggle with tragic life events, but also a beautiful, funny and romantic love story.
    The erotic scenes are...let’s just say...HOLLY SH!T! scorching hot!

    Barnabas and Avery are enemies their whole life. She hates him and he loves makes her hate him.
    Yes, he is a pro in making her crazy angry since their childhood.

    Barnabas is the kind of man that doesn't take life seriously, or so everyone thinks. His purpose in life seems to be partying and making his way though female population in the small town.

    Avery only happiness in life is her daughter. And her daughter's happiness is her mother and her enemy Barnabas.
    Avery judges everyone and everything but mostly Barnabas for his casanova lifestyle.
    She's called stuck-up Avery for a reason.
    I love Avery, she is strong and stubborn and doesn't let the small towns gossip interfere with her life.

    But after a life changing kiss, the dynamic of the story takes a dramatic twist, that makes the story an unbelievable sweet, swoony and even more hot experience.
    Gosh! I love Barnabas.
    He's the epitome of a perfect bookboyfriend ❤

    Did I make you curious?
    Because I can't tell you anything more, otherwise I'll spoil the story.
    Before you think that I have already written way too much about this book, let me tell you that it is just a glimpse of this beautiful story.

    The paperback is also amazingly beautiful!!! Don’t miss it!

    Gabrielle G has done it again! I honestly can’t gush enough about how much I loved reading Untamed. I’m so happy to finally have this story as heartbreakingly beautiful as it is. It was easy to get lost in the story of Barnabas and Avery, this book has all the feels. This was an amazing frenemies-to-lovers romance that will make you laugh and cry, right along with the characters feeling like you are on an emotional rollarcoaster with them. I especially enjoyed catching up with all the members of the Gritt family as they made appearances throughout the book. As always, Gabrielle’s flow and writing style was wonderful, I could barely put down the book once I started it.

    Reviewed in Germany on January 19, 2021

    Barnabas! Let’s just say, I was not a fan of him in the first book. Did he redeem himself in his book? Yes he did. Absolutely.

    Avery and Barnabas know each other for a long time already, and they are ‘sworn’ enemies. At least from Avery’s point of view. Barn takes his fun out of this, and plays the part he doesn’t have a care in the world! But is this really true? Let’s also throw in Avery’s daughter Alexis. Who is the biggest fan of Barn, and he’s of her. And when Avery needs help, Barn is the one who provides it. And she can’t say no, right?!

    This book, I devoured it! Seriously. It’s the best book I must say so. What is the saying: save the best for last? The author definitely did that. This book is full of emotions, the whole palette up and down! The sex scenes? Holy whatever it’s hawt! I had to turn on the a/c in between.
    I can honestly say I really enjoyed this book. It’s a must read. Especially when you read this series, it gives you some conclusions and explanations!!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous end to a heated Gritt Family series
    Reviewed in Australia on December 21, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Instalment number 3 of the Gritt Family series, these books are also stand alone reads but best read in order to understand the entire storyline of Untamed.

    This book was Barnabus and Avery’s story, however I struggled with this story a bit. Barnabus for me has been my least favourite character throughout the books. The youngest of the Gritt siblings but also the town $lut that likes his women quick and fast.

    Barnabus grew up teasing Avery, who learned to despise Barn with everything she had. When her and her 4 year old daughter Alexis fall upon troubled times, the only person left to catch them is none other than Barn.

    The frenemies to lovers storyline is great, as is the heat, passion and raw unadulterated feelings oozing off the pages, but I found myself getting lost in some parts of the story while other parts seemed to align all the answers to the questions we held onto throughout all 3 books (enter the Gritts meddling mother Bella 😏).

    I loved the tender moments of Barn and Lexi, becoming father and daughter and I really enjoyed the heartbreaking hidden secrets of Barns that let the reader see a much softer side of Barn.

    Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed all 3 books in this series and would recommend them to anyone looking for a very adult, saucy, hot, angsty read.
