Untamed

A Thoughtless Novel

By S.C. Stephens

Synopsis

#1 New York Times bestselling author S. C. Stephens brings us the next book in her Thoughtless series!

The spotlight doesn’t only shine. Sometimes, it burns.

Being the bad-boy bassist for the world’s hottest band has earned Griffin Hancock some perks: a big house, a fast car, and most importantly his incredible wife, Anna. The one thing it hasn’t brought him is the spotlight. Anna tells him to be patient, that his talent will win out. But Griffin is through waiting for permission to shine.
Without warning, Griffin makes a shocking decision and takes the gamble of a lifetime. Suddenly he’s caught up in a new level of lights, cameras, and chaos. One that pushes his relationship with Anna to its limits. Anna has always found his unpredictable behavior sexy, but lately he’s seen an ache in her eyes–and it has his soul in knots. Just as the recognition Griffin seeks is finally within reach, the thing he loves most in life could be slipping through his fingers . . .

Michel’s Review

Wow!  Untamed caught me by complete surprise!  I seriously underestimated the Thoughtless series beyond Kellan Kyle and Keira’s epic romance.  Sure I loved the other D-Bags members and loved Griff’s snarky wanna be rock star attitude, but I never thought of him beyond the happiness he found with Anna and the D-Bags hard earned fame.

As we all know, Griffin Hancock is the bad boy bassist for the D-Bags.  He has always had his own ideas of grandeur, fame, and being a rock star.  He is an incredibly talented musician.  His role as the bassist for the D-Bags has been a thorn in his side.  He has always wanted to play lead guitar.  The spotlight has always been on Kellan.  His cousin Matt has always had the spotlight as the lead guitarist.  He feels overlooked, unappreciated,unfulfilled, and resentful.  As the D-Bags fame grows, Griff’s discontentment multiplies.  Although he has a happy home life, a great wife, and beautiful daughter, it is not enough.  When his ideas are shot down one too many times, Griff does the unthinkable.  He leaves the D-Bags to pursue his own fortune and fame.  He is finally going to get the recognition he is entitled to.

Griff has always been self absorbed and harbored feelings of entitlement.  He is about to learn a lot of lessons about life, love,teamwork, humility, and  the real meaning of happiness.  He is going to go on a journey of self destruction and self discovery.  Hopefully he will discover what is important in life before it is too late.  He will hit rock bottom before he can climb to the top.  The journey will open his eyes.  It will also open the eyes of his fellow friends/ bandmates as well.  They underestimated Griff and didn’t value his contributions to the band.

Anna has always been by Griff’s side.  She has supported everything he has done.  When he goes off the deep end, it is too much.  She will have to leave him in order for him to find the true meaning of happiness.  It’s breaking her heart.

In the end Griff will find humility and happiness.  The D-Bags will find there is no replacement for Griff Hancock.  Griff will be the husband Anna knew he could be.  Griff will be the friend, lover, father,  master musician , and the man he was meant to be.

Untamed was emotional, humorous, heartbreaking, and hopeful.  S.C. Stephens outdid herself with Untamed. This novel touched upon every emotion that we experience in our lives.  Untamed was just as epic as the rest of the Thoughtless series.
