Cupcakes and Ink by Helena Hunting is the introduction to the Clipped Wings Series featuring to very emotionally scarred people who in each start to find new life. So I admit I read all two full length novels and this novella in quick succession so I can’t really remember where one left off and the other picked up. So a bit of Clipped Wings may bleed in a little bit. This novella is a very quick read and it’s kind of hard to review something that was so short (about 60 pages) but it packed a punch. In this brief glimpse you are pulled in and given just enough to keep you curious and look forward to the first book. Tenely has a dark secret, and a cap ton of guilt. She is on the quiet side and on the surface seems really timid almost submissive but as the books move along you realize that her fiery side is just suppressed by her trauma. She is stronger than she looks. Hayden, is our bad boy tattoo artist, at least that is the way he appears on the outside. He’s covered in tattoos and piercings. He has a dark past he’s not proud of but he’s finally found his way in life... mostly... He’s fiercely intelligent and keeps people an arm’s length away because he suffers from his own guilt. Tenley and Hayden meet and there is instant attraction which produces more guilt for Tenley and determination from Hayden. After reading this book be prepared for an emotional but in the end a stratifying roller coaster ride!Rating:4*Review copy provided through NetGalley for an honest review.
