Clipped Wings by Helena Hunting

Clipped Wings (Clipped Wings, #1)

by Helena Hunting

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...

This was a very dark and very sad story, but it was one of the best books I've read in a while. Both the characters have suffered more than can be imagined, but somehow they manage to find each other and offer a level of comfort that haven't had before or since their tragic stories. Tenley and Hayden will both break your heart, but there is also a spark of hope that had me turning the pages furiously.

Full review to come.
