The Elder Races Book 6: Kinked by Thea Harrison

Kinked (Elder Races, #6)
Elder Races Book 6
Two opponents must confront the cause of their obsessive fury in the latest Novel of the Elder Races…

As a harpy, Sentinel Aryal is accustomed to dealing with hate, but Sentinel Quentin Caeravorn manages to inspire in her a burning ire unlike anything she’s ever known. Aryal believes the new Sentinel to be a criminal, and vows to take him out as soon as the opportunity arises. But the harpy’s incessant wrath has pushed Quentin to the limit, and forces him to make a deadly vow of his own.

To put an end to the conflict, Dragos, Lord of the Wyr, sends them on a reconnaissance mission to the Elven land of Numenlaur. Forced to work together, Aryal and Quentin’s mutual antagonism escalates. Each fight draws forth more passion—culminating in an explosively sexual confrontation. But when their quest reveals real danger, Aryal and Quentin must resolve their differences in ways beyond the physical, before the entire Wyr is threatened.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

What happens when you get two dominant warrior personalities clashing against one another? Trouble. Real trouble. Which is exactly what Aryal and Quentin are. I was a bit nervous going into this story. Aryal was never a favorite sentinel of mine. Her harpy Wyr form is exactly who she personality wise. She is always harsh and rude but at the same time you can’t help but laugh at what comes out of her mouth because she is also brutally honest. The question i had going into this story was how were two people who have shown their hate toward one another so strongly in previous books, were going to somehow fall for one another? Sexual tension can only take you so far, but love? That can’t be an easy believable story. Yet Thea Harrison proves that it is possible. 

The banter between Aryal and Quentin is hysterical. You know that when one opens their mouth to argue with the other, you will probably be laughing hysterically in surprise because they never disappoint in what they have to say, especially to one another. We’ve had many dealings with Aryal but not much with Quentin. He was this mysterious guy who is Pia’s closest friend. Though even she describes him as a bit of a mystery. Finally, we get to see who he is. Both Aryal and Quentin are pretty dark characters. Though they may fight (a lot), it really is because they are so alike. Strong, intelligent, fiercely protective, and a dark humor and personality that no one can really understand except one another. 

Their story is an exact fit with their personalities. They are warriors and they receive a warrior’s journey. This book in the series is full of action and adventure all while sparking a chemistry between the two that neither can deny nor can the reader.
