Synopsis

An emotional love story that follows the touch-and-go relationship of Hayden and Tenley; two young people who desperately want to love and be loved but are afraid to completely let go of their pasts.

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…

4,5* As I start to read/listen, I knew this was going to be a very emotional love story. I thought it was a darker read but the intense sexual chemistry between the two characters, light the way. Both suffered a lot each in their own way, trying to break free from the hurt and loneliness. Alone, in real life they would need help, but that was OK for me to keep reading. It's damn hard to do on your own, without help, without someone to talk to. So like any human, they feel the need to escape in each other from the pain and suffering. What they didn't expect was the emotional connection, it was beyond physical... and the secrets they were hiding would come back and make them realize this connection was what they really need from each other to go on. I'm not that sure of the double standard... and the rules... When someone opens up to you and you refuse to do the same... hiding things from your own past which pale in comparison to the things the other one isn’t telling you... hmm. I loved the art element, the tattoo, a symbolic design that bonds them together and becomes a real healing process. I like the friendships around them too. Not that I would miss them... I think Sienna's part although didn't really matter much... About the writing, dual POV was great, quite distinct and serious unique voices. Overall I liked it a lot! Let's see what Inked Armour has to offer!

Goodreads review by Christy on June 14, 2016

4-4.5 stars! After reading Helena Huntings Pucked series, I wanted to read more of her stuff. The Pucked books are hilarious, sexy and fun- Clipped Wings is a totally different kind of read, but to be honest, much more my speed. I love books with damaged characters and both the hero and heroine......more

My Tenley and Hayden: Cupcakes-addicted tattoo artist and closed-off fragile girl. Both extremely attracted to each other and both hiding heartbreaking past. Can physical and emotional bond they slowly developped help them to overcome their nightmares or will it push them over the cliff? Clipped Wings......more
