Review ~ Clipped Wings by Helena Hunting

Clipped Wings by Helena Hunting

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Clipped Wings is a story I have read before, one I loved the first time. This newly published revision is still as amazing as it was as fan fiction. Tenley and Hayden both come from very dark pasts and go into their relationship hiding what they went through.
This first book shows us how they meet then through their instant attraction, but slow connection. With pasts like theirs one cannot help but understand why they’re gun-shy and guarded.
I suggest you read the prequel to this book and then continue on with the series. It’s a great read filled with angst, drama, heartbreak, and tragedy, but we’ll get to see how they work it out and come together. I can’t wait for the next one.

Summary: 

An emotional love story that follows the touch-and-go relationship of Hayden and Tenley; two young people who desperately want to love and be loved but are afraid to completely let go of their pasts.

As Hayden and Tenley navigate their newfound but slightly unstable relationship, they want to trust each other, but Hayden is hiding a dark and shameful past that he doesn’t ever want Tenley to find out about. And Tenley has secrets of her own that could make Hayden run away forever. When Tenley asks Hayden to put a beautifully elaborate tattoo across her back, the two form what they thought was an unshakeable bond. But when Tenley’s past shows up on her doorstep, will Hayden stand by her side…or run?
