I’m reviewing Nalini Singh’s Tangle Of Need with fellow smexy reviewer Helyce at Smexybooks

Tangle Of Need ( Psy-Changeling #11 ) by Nalini Singh
Paranormal Romance
May 29, 2012
Hardcover
Berkley

Adria, wolf changeling and resilient soldier, has made a break with the past--one as unpredictable in love as it was in war. Now comes a new territory, and a devastating new complication: Riaz, a SnowDancer lieutenant already sworn to a desperate woman who belongs to another.
For Riaz, the primal attraction he feels for Adria is a staggering betrayal. For Adria, his dangerous lone-wolf appeal is beyond sexual. It consumes her. It terrifies her. It threatens to undermine everything she has built of her new life. But fighting their wild compulsion toward one another proves a losing battle.
Their coming together is an inferno...and a melding of two wounded souls who promise each other no commitment, no ties, no bonds. Only pleasure. Too late, they realize that they have more to lose than they ever imagined. Drawn into a cataclysmic Psy war that may alter the fate of the world itself, they must make a decision that might just break them both.(Goodreads)

A joint review by Helyce and Tori

Helyce’s Favorite Quotes:
“You have me,” she whispered. All of me. “I love you to distraction, Empress.”

Tori’s Favorite Quote: ”Seduced…she was being seduced.”

Tori: OMG Helyce, so can you believe that we are on number eleven of Ms. Singh’s spectacular, romantic, humorous, super smoking sexy, awe inspiring, addictive Psy-Changeling series? I can’t. Even though I reread the series about once a year, (or more-don’t judge), it always feels brand new and fresh. I think her writing is pure gold with her highly developed characters and well plotted storylines. This is one of a few series that I can honestly say I will be heartbroken when it ends.

Helyce: It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of Ms. Singh’s extraordinary books from both of her series. I have not done a complete re-read this year, but I am guilty of grabbing a book and just opening it up to read a random page. Generally, that’s enough to pull me back into the story and I find myself reading through from that point on. My most tattered and dog-eared books are Slave to Sensation, Caressed By Ice and Hostage to Pleasure. Her world building is spectacular and just keeps getting better and better. I cannot even guess where she plans to take us, but like you, I will be very sad when the last book in this series is written.

Things That Caught My Eye

Everyday I tell myself, “Tori, today in the day you will clean up and organize all your bookmarks, links, and wish lists.” Yea right. I’ve been saying that for 4 years now. It’s all so spread out it would take DAYS for me to find everything. No need to now. :) Introducing Right Cliq by Visa. Right Cliq is an online shopping tool that allows you to compile products that you want to buy, organize them into groups in your very own Wishspace, and even invite friends to approve or nix your potential purchases. That means you, my friends, can access and buy me pressies. SQUEEE!!!

Vogue's annual Costume Institute Gala is set to be an even more fabulous, heart-stopping, and emotional affair next year than it has been in years. The ball on May 2 will kick off the the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Alexander McQueen exhibit, titled "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty." The showcase, which will be open to the public from May 4 through July 31, includes roughly 100 pieces. 

I would shank someone to go to this affair. The museum has gathered pieces from everywhere from the graduate collection McQueen showed at Central St. Martins to items from the designer's days at Givenchy, where he worked in the late nineties, to works from his personal collections, including things he made for the late Isabella Blow, whose entire wardrobe Daphne Guinness now owns. Can you imagine the vintage McQueen pieces that will be worn to this event?

If Facebook and Bejeweled isn’t making time fly anymore at work; why not try the newest craze to hit cubicles across the land-Creepypasta. Part of a growing phenomenon making its way around message boards and e-mail chains, these bite-sized bits of scariness that have joined the unending list of things-to-do-when-you’re-bored-at-work. Sent in random emails; these are like little urban legends set to video. They give just enough for a little chill and thrill at work –like a pick me up without the caffeine.
Some popular ones are: “The Russian Sleep Experiment,” a short story about Russian prisoners who are forcibly deprived of sleep until they cannibalize each other. Another, called “Suicide Mouse,” is a nine-minute, Kafkaesque loop of a vintage Mickey Mouse walking down a gloomy street, which slowly degrades into a mix of distorted images, warped music and chilling screams. According to the accompanying legend, the film is authentic, newly discovered Disney footage — the watching of which has led people to kill themselves.
