My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Kinked, book #6 in Thea Harrison's Elder Race Series actually turned out to be a surprise!!! A good surprise.........because I wasn't look forward to Aryal's story.
She has not been a favorite of mine in the series. I found her surly, abrasive, domineering ....in fact, totally unlikeable. By the end of the book....she had hooked her claws into me....and I actually liked her!!! Not that she became a "tamed" harpy Sentinel......not in a million years.......but somehow she just grows on you!!!
She didn’t fit the concept of what a modern female should be like, and that made her even more annoying to a modern, entitled male such as he. She didn’t defer to his opinion or mask her own spiky personality to fit the concept of any modern behavior, because she wasn’t modern.
So, here we have Aryal, ordered by Dragos, to go on a joint and secret reconnaissance mission to the Elven land of Numenlaur......with none other than someone she hates and distrusts............the winner of the Sentinel Games and new sentinel member, Quentin Caeravorn.
What an intense and adventure filled journey these two go on. I loved watching the way their animosity and hatred and their attraction growing towards each other.....these are two forceful and controlling characters..........both are sexually aggressive and dominant..neither wanting to give in or submit......but wow...when they give in to each other.......
She quieted that internal whip that drove him because she became the whip, her soul as sharp as a knife. He could cut himself on her, wrap her in his arms and be her buffer. Heal her from herself, bruise himself on her. Let her heal him. Let her be his buffer. They were so unapologetic, so kinked.Aryal and Quentin’s back story also made me understand them a bit more. In the end, I was happy that these two got their HEA!!!!
He said, “We’re perfect.”
This book had mystery, adventure, great characters and the BEST...........Peanut!!!!! OMG............Dragos and Pia's little Dragon has arrived..........and I am in love!!!!
One of my favorite quotes in this book - Pia's comment about the effect her son "peanut" aka Liam had on the Wyr Sentinel, Aryal
