Tangling With Ty (Harlequin Temptation)

Rating:
Summary: Another keeper! -- Very highly recommended
Review: Dr. Nicole Mann was a child prodigy, graduating college at the age of twelve. Surgery is her life, masking her inept people skills. With myriad piercings and sporting camouflage, Nicole's appearance certainly masks her IQ and profession. Her growing friendship with housemates Suzanne and Taylor creates friction as she tries to learn to let others close, buts it's her overwhelming attraction to Ty that really disconcerts, especially since she echoes Taylor's vow to remain single.

Architect Ty O'Grady's dark history precludes attachments and family. A world traveler accustomed to fulfilling his wanderlust, Ty fell in love with South Village where he builds a strong professional reputation working alone rather than joining the usual architectural firms. Then his strong attraction to Nicole and a shocking email open doors that Ty is ill equipped to handle.

Author Jill Shalvis has a created a marvelous hit with the South Village Singles series! Readers who enjoyed ROUGHING IT WITH RYAN certainly will not want to miss its dazzling sequel, TANGLING WITH TY. Both Nicole and Ty are incredibly intriguing characters. They are tough survivors, unable and unwilling to allow people close. Nicole's piercings and Ty's tattoo both represent badges of honor for surviving nearly impossible challenges with grace. Indeed, their mutual strength of character draws them together even as it keeps them divided, thereby providing paradoxical challenges that force them to face inward demons and needs. Be sure to catch next month's finale with MESSING WITH MAC. TANGLING WITH TY comes very highly recommended.

Summary: fun relationship drama
Review: Having suffered much heartbreak and broken promises, the three women swore off men forever, vowing to remain single. However, Suzanne Carter broke her pledge (see ROUGHING IT WITH RYAN), leaving it up to the remaining two, Taylor Wellington and Nicole Mann, to avoid males as if those lowlifes have the plague.

One of the pledges, surgeon Dr. Nicole Mann is committed to saving the lives of her patients, which is no hardship as she has placed an unattainable moat around her heart. However, architect Ty O'Grady, hired by Taylor to renovate her building, causes a new feeling of palpitations in the forbidden zone. Nicole and Ty are attracted to one another though both are card-carrying loners. As the duo fall in love, neither accepts that they might need and desire someone else, making anything permanent between these two social hermits impossible.

TANGLING WITH TY is a fun relationship drama starring two delightful, somewhat eccentric lead characters. Nicole relates better with her patients than she does with healthy people and Ty in some ways makes her seem like a social butterfly. Except for how well they perform their jobs that require meetings, the personalities of the lead protagonists will provide readers with a delightful time. Fan will seek book one and impatiently wait for the final installment next month.
