Blurb:
Adria, wolf changeling and resilient soldier, has made a break with the past - one as unpredictable in love as it was in war. Now comes a new territory, and a devastating new complication: Riaz, a SnowDancer lieutenant already sworn to a desperate woman who belongs to another.
For Riaz, the primal attraction he feels for Adria is a staggering betrayal. For Adria, his dangerous lone wolf appeal is beyond sexual. It consumes her. It terrifies her. It threatens to undermine everything she has built of her new life. But fighting their wild attraction proves a losing battle.
Their coming together is an inferno.... and a melding of two wounded souls who promise each other no commitment, no ties, no bonds. Only pleasure. Too late, they realize that they have more to lose than they ever imagined. Drawn into a cataclysmic Psy war that may alter the fate of the world itself, they must make a decision that might just break them both.
Review:
This book transported me right back into the Psy/Changeling world, as if I never left. It was like coming HOME! I love Nalini Singh and her writing style and 11 books into the series it's still one of my all-time favorites in PNR.
Tangle of Need was that one book that you have in every long series that has cameos and appearances from just about all the previous couples. There are several celebrations and surprises throughout the book. It even made me laugh out loud several times.
Adria and Riaz were the main couple within this book, but I was definitely glad to have a ton of Hawke and Sienna in this one as well. Kiss of Snow (book #10) was also a great book but Hawke and Sienna are so fresh and she's so young that it was nice to have them almost co-star in this book. Sienna's struggling still with her X powers and what happened in the battle at the end of the last book. Psy's definitely know that she is alive now and are not going to stop from trying to get her. Henry Scott and Ming Lebon included.
Adria is a dominant female wolf that just got out of a bad relationship. She was originally from the Snow Dancer region, she is now back with her pack after being away for many years. She is a Senior Lieutenant in the pack and very smart, rough around the edges but a softy inside. Riaz is the lone dominant wolf that just came back into town after sticking him tail between his legs when he found his mate,whom was already married to someone else. He is now a lieutenant in the pack also.
Adria and Riaz don't get a long at first, I think they both realized there was attraction there and just didn't want to face it.They have several explosively sexually charged scenes but even those times can't hold them together. There is a lot of hesitation between these two. Their pasts have shaped the way they are acting with each other. They both have to fight for what they want with the other, it certainly doesn't come easy. In the end they still don't have what normal Changeling pairs have. Their relationship is unique.
Kaleb and the Arrows continue to interest the heck out of me. They are such a mysterious group and it's tough to figure out what's going to happen next. Kaleb has some serious secrets but we are slowly learning more and more about him.
I think there is definitely a possibility of Kaleb being the next book. Ohhh that would be so good. I know Nalini Singh is already working on the next book but hasn't released who it will be about. We'll just have to wait and see. There was a lot of things simultaneously going on in this book, lots of changes coming in the Psy/Changeling world.
If you've read this book and this series...Who do you think will be the couple for the next book? Any ideas?
