The epic finale of Poppy and Ronan’s dynamic love story does not disappoint. We have everything I’ve come to love about this Midnight Dynasty world- heart pounding suspense, intense chemistry, character complexity, and so much drama. And as always, we have an epic clash of the Morelli and Constantine families that brings everything to a head. Just delicious.
I left book 2 wanting a bit more evolution of these characters, and M. O’Keefe really delivered on that in this finale. Both of these characters have suffered so much within the tangled web of this Constantine-Morelli world, a dog eat dog world indeed. But these two make a stand- fighting for each other against impossible odds. Ronan the protector, but we also see Poppy finally fight. We finally got to see Poppy find herself - find her strength. Against the seemingly indomitable, big bad Caroline Constantine no less. And fighting for Ronan- a man who no one has truly fought for. And Ronan continues to be both dark and dreamy- the violent murderer, a dark presence, but a man who protects and loves Poppy with the same intensity. Their chemistry was so captivating- a beautiful emotive journey amidst all the fast paced action. Culminating in such a satisfying finale, some delightful cameos, and a delightful epilogue.
This story has been quite a surprise to me- in part, because I never thought I could get behind Ronan as a hero. One of the things I’m finding the most interesting about the Midnight Dynasty world is how much reading order influences your orientation to the characters and your understanding of their story. Having seen the worst in Ronan, I never thought I could be sympathetic to him, but he won me over big time. Of course, the wider this world gets, the more it opens up the opportunity for inconsistencies- either with characters or back story- and I did see a bit of that here in book 2 and in timelines, but for the most part, its amazing how characters I saw through another characters’ eyes- like Ronan- evolve when I see them through their love interest and their own eyes, they evolve. I’ve also enjoyed discovered the writing of M O’Keefe- she’s an author I’m looking forward to reading more from in the future.

I love this series! Ronan and Poppy are magic. This is one of my favorite in the Dangerous Press Midnight Dynasty.
This is the final installment of the Hearts trilogy, it picks up right where book two ended. Ronan and Poppy are married and heading back to New York to deal with the ever scary Constantines and Morelli’s.
M O’Keefe has an amazing ability to write dark, gritty emotional stories and this is a perfect example. She makes her characters so real that they refuse to stay on the page, they jump out at you and demand your attention.
I will simply say, read this series, you will not regret it!

I am totally obsessed with the Midnight Dynasty world of Morelli v Constantine! With each trilogy coming to a close I am both sad to see the couple go but happy they get their hea.
Ronan and Poppy are no exception. With so much up in the air Untamed starts off with a bang and holds you captive to the end. Loved these two and all the details that made their story a fantastic one!

I'm still sitting here just reeling from the journey Ronan and Poppy took us on! Poppy for sure straightened her crown and stood up for herself and I loved it! Poor Ronan, he loved her before he even knew what love was, and his vulnerability with her was so raw and beautiful. I thought the author did such an amazing job painting the picture, you can feel the exact moment each of them have these profound realizations about who they are and what they want, down to the second it becomes crystal clear. Poppy had it so rough in the earlier books and I was so happy to see her get stronger and her character growth throughout was heartwarming. Ronan so alpha, so yummy lol, the chemistry between these two has only gotten more hot and intense, and again, just to visit the Constantines and Morelli's there are just so many reasons to LOVE this perfect end to a brilliant trilogy. Can't wait for more from the Midnight Dynasty world!

The story continues, you need to read previous books. Ronan and Poppy's story keeps on entangling, all the twists and turns, and yet is so addictive. The story was quite good, I really enjoyed it and I loved the characters. The ending to this trilogy was quite good, I loved how Ronan's past and secrets were revealed, Poppy certainly changed in the best way possible. All the emotions and steam throughout the story will have you reading.

Holy Smokes! I've been waiting for this third book in the trilogy, and M. O'Keefe brought it home in such an exemplary fashion it should be having all the fans of the Midnight Dynasty singing her praises. Throughout these books, we have watched Poppy grow from essentially a shadow person who has been used and abused for others' power trips to standing up and fighting for herself and the man she loves.
Peeling back Ronan's layers, we discover what drives him and has made him the man he is. You really cannot go into too much depth with this review because you have to have read the previous books in the trilogy to understand what is taking place. I will tell you this is a good investment of your time, money, and/or KU account. The series swings with emotion, excitement, some steam that left me wide-eyed

Untamed picks up right after Broken Hearts ends, with Poppy and Ronan returning to New York to face the dangers that originally had them fleeing. And of course, they are now married. But Ronan is still trying to keep Poppy at arm's length.
But Poppy has discovered a stronger side of herself. She has plans on facing her enemies and fighting for Ronan.
This book was such a great wrap-up to the series. I could not put it down.

Getting back into the Hearts series was a tad tough – I struggled to remember the events from the other two books. Eventually, I gave up trying to remember and just absorbed what was in the Untamed book and things started coming back.
While I truly loved this book and the relationship that develops between Ronan and Poppy, I have to say that I miss them being in Ireland. That part of the story was just so intriguing and things felt way different. Now that Ronan was married to Poppy, he seemed off-putting, as if he didn’t want anything to do with her. Obviously, that changes, but it was a bit frustrating if I’m being honest.
When things do change in their relationship, OMG... it's wild and I absolutely love it. You get to see a different side of Ronan and it's amazing! It's almost like he is a normal person with a normal relationship and life.
In Untamed, other characters from the Midnight Dynasty world are brought in and honestly it makes me like those characters even more now.
Untamed was the perfect ending to this series. And that epilogue was EVERYTHING. I was so shocked by it.

I love Ronan! I loved that he couldn’t resist Poppy. I loved how Poppy pushed him. She was never giving up on him. Poppy was determined to find a way to save him. Bryant and Caroline I want that story! This book wrapped up Poppy & Ronan’s story, and we got another Leo sighting. I’m not sure which character I love the most Ronan or Leo. Family wasn’t on Ronan’s radar, but by the end he was surrounded by it.

Thank you to M. O’Keefe, Serena and the rest of the team at Dangerous Press for the advance reader copy of Untamed, the third book in the Hearts series.
It is time for the hugely anticipated final instalment in the Hearts series. I have loved Poppy and Ronan’s relationship from page one and after the twist at the end of book two who was not excited!
