Cracks in the Armor:
Clipped Wings Series #2.5
Summary:
From Goodreads.com
Chris, a sexy tattoo artist, tries to win the heart of
Sarah, a grad student with little interest in him, in this second e-short and
follow-up to Helena Hunting’s gripping love story, Clipped Wings—“twisted,
dark, incredibly erotic…a love story like no other” (USA TODAY bestselling
author Alice Clayton).
Part owner of the Chicago tattoo shop Inked Armor, Chris
Zelter is a talented artist who decorates skin with gorgeous designs. He might
look the part of the typical jacked-up, inked-up bad-boy, but underneath is a
fiercely loyal, complicated man. Kicked out at sixteen, Chris has had to fend
for himself for the last twelve years, making his Inked Armor crew as much
family as they are business partners. For him, it’s enough—until he meets Sarah
Adamson.
A grad student waitressing at the local strip club, Sarah is
used to propositions and crude comments. The job is a means to an end—finish
her MBA, pay off the tuition loans, and get a good job. Then she won’t have to
rely on anyone to take care of her. So when brawny, tatted up Chris begins
hanging out at the club, she rebuffs his advances. At first. But Chris isn’t
like her usual clientele: despite his hard exterior, he’s almost…sweet.
Sometimes, the people with the roughest edges have the
biggest hearts.
Review:
Im not really sure the point of this quick novella, most of
the first half of the book is about Hayden and Tenley and their new home. I
mean I really enjoyed catching up with them but this is supposed to be about
Sarah and Chris. Chris did have some
inner mussing about Sarah, mostly about how they don’t get to spend any time
together and a key and how she never keeps his house key. While we are in Chris’s
head we don’t get any page time where Sarah and Chris are actually together.
The second half of the story we are in Sarah’s head and at
the strip club, which is not a fun place to be. She keeps thinking about how
busy she is going to be, how much she hates working in the strip club and how
she might be forced to strip soon, and how much she wants to keep Chris’s key.
While we are in Sarah’s head we do have some together time. Pretty much just
for one sex scene and then their time together is over and the book is basically
done. I guess we are building up to a full
length novel but after reading this novella it hasn’t made me want to read more
about this couple, if anything the opposite happened and I’m not that
interested in continuing with these two’s story. Now a novel on Jamie and Lisa
or another Tenley and Hayden novel and I’ll snap it up in a second.
