Intent on proving herself as capable as her human colleagues, cougar shifter Eloise Inez Scott was determined to do the job right, which was to watch over fellow shifter Kyle Branegan and keep him safe until the trial. So she lured him to her apartment and handcuffed him to her bed! Meanwhile, Kyle was intrigued and hot for his "babysitter", which was how he got caught in the first place. Not that he minded...Vivian Arend sure knows how to write her shifters, especially playful cat shifters. Kyle caught my imagination from the start, with his playful demeanor and cat-like behavior. The first time he caught sight of El and chased her--wow, that was a great scene! The chemistry between them was hot and blinding, and the passion--whew! I needed ice to cool down.El is one confused cat as she buried her cougar nature in trying to be accepted by her human colleagues. But being with Kyle freed her, who encouraged her to surrender to her cat nature. Still, no matter how Kyle pushed her buttons, she wasn't willing to surrender her career to a man who might only want her to stay at home and push out kittens.A thread of mystery and suspense was interwoven into their story as a result of Kyle's investigative work and family shenanigans. This provided some tension toward the end, but I had a feeling of something left unresolved. Still, this didn't detract from my enjoyment of the story. TANGLED TINSEL is one passionate, mysterious, tangled tale that I had fun unraveling.Reviewed by Ashiafor The Romance Reviews
