Tenley still has screaming nightmares about the accident
that took all her loved ones away. In an effort to move on,
she decides to get a tattoo done by sexy Hayden Stryker.
Hayden has a past as well that continues to haunt him, but
seeing Tenley makes him feel hope again. Together, they fall
hard for each other, but nothing can separate them from
their own darkness.
CLIPPED WINGS by Helena Hunting is an intense novel full of
romance and people trying to overcome the past. Tenley and
Hayden are so good together that they practically sizzle off
the page. I like how much they get to care for each slowly,
but still with plenty of steam. They both have some faults
that occasionally made me cringe while reading, but it gives
them excellent depth and rounds them out nicely as
characters. Some of the secondary characters like Lisa and
Carrie add flavor to the novel, and I wouldn't mind seeing
them get their own story at all.
Though I like many things about this story, I really wanted
it to be a standalone by the time I got to the end of it.
The story doesn't drag or anything like that, but I felt
Tenley's and Hayden's issues could easily have been resolved
by the end of this book. They're complex people, but they
grow so much in the story that I thought they were more than
in a place to set everything straight. Even so, I absolutely
want to read the sequel to see what happens to them.
Even though I had a few issues with it, I really like
CLIPPED WINGS overall. Helena Hunting is a great writer, and
I want to see what happens next for these characters. I
would definitely recommend it for any new adult romance
fans.
Their body art is hot. Their chemistry is even hotter.
From her dark hair sweeping below her waist to her soft,
sexy curves, Tenley Page intrigues tattoo artist Hayden
Stryker in a way no one else ever has…especially when she
asks him to ink a gorgeous, intricate design on her back.
Yet for all her beauty, there is something darkly tragic and
damaged about Tenley that Hayden is everything.
Covered in ink and steel, Hayden is everything Tenley has
never dared to want, awakening a desire to explore more than
the art adorning his stunning body. Trapped by a past that
leaves her screaming from nightmares, Tenley sees Hayden as
the perfect escape. Although he has secrets too, if they
both keep themselves guarded perhaps their intense physical
connection will remain only that.
But nothing, not even passion, can keep them safe from their
pasts…
