Review: Great addition to the Clipped Wings series!

I'm loving the Clipped Wings series!  I was surprised to see the cover reveal for this book earlier this week (gorgeous cover like the others) and it came out at the perfect time.  I was just about to start Inked Armor and since this takes place between Clipped Wings and Inked Armor, I decided to sneak it in instead.  I was surprised to find out that this is Chris's novella.  I don't read book descriptions ahead of time because of possible spoilers in the summary, so I didn't even know that Cracks In the Armor was a Chris/Sarah novella either.  Helena Hunting truly creates some of the best flawed but likeable and memorable characters that stay with you.  They also tend to steal the scenes every once in a while.  Chris was a favorite character of mine since I first read Cupcakes and Ink.  I was so excited to read this short story!Between the Cracks starts off right after Clipped Wings ends.  If you haven't read Clipped Wings yet, you should be warned that it does end in a bit of a ...to be continued kind of way.  Chris is one of Hayden's best friends and a tattoo artist at Inked Armor.  He's a bit reckless and a womanizer, until Tenley's neighbor, Sarah, catches his eye.  After weeks of perusing her (which we get to see in Cupcakes and Ink and Clipped Wings), Chris tones it down and shows Sarah how much he really likes her.  As opposed to only wanting to get in her pants.  I loved seeing Sarah slowly caving to his charms.  I think these two are so good together and I'm excited to read their next novella!While Between the Cracks is told in Chris's POV, it is still heavily focused on Hayden.  I'm not complaining because I love Hayden and this was more of a bridge between books.  While it's only 50-ish pages, it was memorable and I do think it's important to read before Inked Armor.  I really hope that Chris and Sarah end up having their own full-length story.  Between the Cracks was a great addition to the Clipped Wings series.  I looooooove this cover!
