Tangled Hearts
I’ve escaped.
My tower is no longer my prison but that doesn’t mean I still don’t feel like I’m a prisoner.
I’ve traded my captivity for being on the run.
Every time we think we are safe, Mother is right behind us trying to capture me.
My life is not what I thought it was and the more I uncover, I truly see who Mother is.
I can’t do it alone and my four mates are there every step of the way, keeping me safe.
I need to decide do I go back into hiding or do I fight against Mother?
Because if I can’t decide it’s not just my life on the line anymore. It’s the entire world.
This is Book 2 in the Tangled Duet

I have to say she has not had a miss from me since the first book of hers I read, and this duet is absolutely no different.
Tangled Hearts is book two in the Tangled Duet and starts right where we left off in book one.
I absolutely love the characters in this book and how they all blend together. I was skeptical at first because there was an addition into the group that started at the end of book one and solidified in this book but there were parts where i said out loud, "He just makes them better. He fits in perfectly with them. "
I loved seeing the arc of Oria, the FMC, coming into her own and finding out who she is. The guys all really helped cultivate that without trying to make her into something different. As for the rest of the guys, I love how Mandy does the one odd person out who is fighting fitting in with the group because once they finally accept it, magic happens. Literally cause of bonding 🤭
I have theories on the next group of potential main characters, I don't think there has even been conformation of another series but I will remain hopeful. There were many cameos in the last 70% of the book, it was so fun seeing everyone and where they are now in life as well as meeting the new people. When I was reading this i was supposed to read only a little bit but once I hit the like 70-75% mark all the pieces of the puzzle were starting to come together and I was in that final stretch where you're learning things and people are doing things and it was such a fun time for me, made me feel like i was a kid again.
Thank you so much to mandy muse for having me on her ARC team

Absolutely loved the conclusion to this series. The building of the relationship between the bond is gorgeous. Realizing the bad guys aren’t always the worst guys, and that there are worse things.
I do feel the end was wrapped up a smidge too quick after all the buildup in the book. I expected just a little bit more to the end. I still love this book, and Mandy is one of my fave indie authors.

lol - I did enjoy the book just a lot of sexy time. I also loved Katarina & the wolves cross over!! It got super intense but it also got resolved very quickly so kinda like a jump scare. Also I didn’t like the ending being yet another sex scene I wanted to know more about her fae family and all that for an ending.

Tangled Hearts is the second installment of The Tangled Duet. You must read Tangled Fates before reading Tangled Hearts, the plot is a continuation of the first book and nothing will make sense if they are not read in order. I highly recommend reading the Belladonna series before this duet for an even better timeline understanding. This is a Tangled retelling, with a medium amount of action in the story, a decent amount of spice and a Why Choose dynamic.
Tangled Hearts starts exactly where the first book left off. After the major cliffhanger that Mandy Muse left us with at the end of the first book ( a signature move for Mandy Muse), I was extremely grateful that we jumped right into the action. I felt that the majority of this book was a spicy scene, followed by an action sequence, that led into another spicy scene, rinse and repeat. There is a plot in there, it just was not as predominant or developed as I would have liked to see.
Since this is a continuation of the first book, we deal with the same characters as before. I love that we start out with a bigger glimpse into Max's background, it made understanding his actions and mannerisms a lot easier throughout the story. My fondness of Gray, Soren and Ryder only grew stronger the more interaction we had with them. As far as Oria goes, I can say I respect her journey. I thought I had finally fallen in love with her towards the end of the first book, and then that wavered several times throughout this book. I understand how she got to each stage of her journey, and I can understand her reactions to those events, but I still could not completely love her. I am a firm believer that not all characters should be lovable, and that the author has done their job if they can make me feel some way about the characters, and Mandy Muse brilliantly evokes feeling from me every single time.
Overall I felt this was an enjoyable story, I liked that we got many of book ones questions answered in this book, and as always I found the main characters delightful and sexy.

“Don’t make me tie you up…better yet, keep pushing me. I’d like to see you tied up.”
ARC Review: Now that princess Oria has escaped her tower, with the help of her fearless men, she embarks on a journey to find answers, to right wrongs and discover who she really is. She has been hiding for over 200 years and she has to decide if she’s going to keep running and hiding now that she knows the truth, or stand and fight. Fight for herself and fight for her mates.
“I was a f-cking princess, and it was time I started acting like a queen.”
Book Rating: 4.5/5
Steam/Spice: 4/5
Tropes:
- paranormal romance
- fated mates
- why choose / MFMMM
- possessive men
- touch her and I’ll unalive you
- ‘who did this to you’?
- Tangled retelling
“The world loves to snuff out the good. Don’t let this dark world pull you under, my Sol. You shine bright.”
“I promise I will show you that I am all in, no regrets or doubts.”
Final Thoughts: This book picks up right where book 1 left off. I loved that Mandy introduced a new character to us at the end of book 1, left us in a cliffhanger and then was like…wait until the next book. Thankfully we didn’t have to wait long for this 2nd book in this duet. I loved watching Oria’s character blossom and grow throughout the story. She really came out of her shell and we really saw her strength and determination. I loved watching the relationships grow and for some, truly start, and watch them strengthen their bond together. All of the men are swoon-worthy but Maxton and Ryder hold my heart in this story.

Well.... that just happened. Hahahaha. I loved this retelling, and there was a slight plot twist I didn't see coming. I teared up a bit at the end. (I am a baby), but if you read The Belladonna trilogy, you know..... anywhoo. I was wrapped up in this story and didn't want it to end. Mandy has a way of sucking you into her books, and when it ends leaves, you are all teary eyed amd wanting more. Hahaha. I loved each of Oria's guys the same. I would not mind being a little spoon with these guys. They are all so dream and Swoon worthy. They all hold a piece of Oria that is just for them, yet they each have a bond with one another. No love interest between the guys, but still, they are a unit they are family. Oria is a baddy!! She is such a fun character. You would think she would have no backbone. Pssshhh think again. I love her and who she is. This was a great retelling and a great addition to this world! I am interest to see what else Mandy has up her sleeve!!

This was the story I didn't know I needed and this was definitely the conclusion that I needed. I loved how the story progressed and how it just sunk its claws into me and wouldn't let go until I turned that last page.
I'm just gonna throw one word out here and IYKYK .......MAXTON.
Now this might not be what everyone wants to hear but I did find the writing at the beginning a bit of a struggle. I have never ever read one of Mandy's books and thought the writing was choppy or lacking finesse but the start of this book felt like that to me. Parts of dialogue sounded extremely juvenile and not fitting to how I know she writes. It took me back a little bit. BUT I am a die hard Muse fan and the story is always worth it so I continued on but it stayed in the back of my mind and it threw me off a bit. Enough that I felt I would mention it.
It does not as a whole take away from this magically spicy book filled with wolves, witches, vampires, and fae. The spice in this book is off the charts hot which I love....I will always go for a why choose fantasy romance. They're literally my favorite.
So pick up this series, you will not be disappointed, you will fall in love with Soren, Ryder, Gray and Maxton like the rest of us!

I was primed to dive back into this world, and Tangled Hearts reached my highest expectations!
This installment is a virtuosic symphony of danger, excitement, and twists, expertly orchestrating a narrative that's both unpredictable and irresistible. The multiple POVs are a amazing, adding layers of complexity and depth that draw the reader in with each heart-pounding turn of the page.
The pacing is a work of art, accelerating towards a jaw-dropping climax and cliffhanger that left me gasping for air.
The characters continue to enthrall, with the FMC's ferocity and determination shining like a beacon in the darkness. The MMCs' vulnerabilities and passions are expertly exposed, making my heart race and bleed in equal measure.
This reverse harem tale is a true force, blending humor, playfulness, intrigue, heartache, and spice in a way that's both captivating and addictive.
The writing is sublime, making the story impossible to put down. I devoured every word, and now I'm left bereft after this amazing end to the duet!
The consistent universe-building and nods to beloved characters from other interrelated series only add to the excitement, and bring back all the fuzzies seeing their happiness!

This second book was everything I didn’t know that I needed to wrap up this duet. Mandy Muse has done it again, with an absolutely fantastic book! Oria has finally escaped her tower and her evil “mother” with her amazing mates. She has two solidified mates, another who is fighting the bond, and a 4th one you’ll be surprised by! This story delves more in to Oria’s power and where she came from. But as always, with her power comes so much responsibility. Fortunately she isn’t navigating this alone, she has an entire team to help shoulder the burden and choices. All of her guys are supportive and the perfect compliment to each other. Oria now has to decide, is she going to stand and fight, or is she going to go in to hiding?
Mandy continuously writes these perfectly balanced love stories. She has masterfully written another story where everyone has their place, everyone has their time to shine, but she still does a great job at showing their flaws and struggles too. While this may be a paranormal romance, Mandy continues to show such raw and authentic relationships through her writing.

Can I say Mandy can do no wrong?? I haven't read a book by Mandy that I have not loved yet!
Tangled Hearts picks up right where Tangled Fates (book 1) left off. You do have to read book 1 in order to read this one. Oria has finally escaped and is with her mates. Even though she is fully bonded with 2 there is still 2 more to go ;). I loved how much Oria grew in this book. I feel like she came out of her shell and became an even bigger bad***. The bond between Oria and her mates is solid and breathtaking to say the least. They each hold a different "piece" of her to create a beautiful bond. And the spice....YESSSSS! Mandy does not lack on the spice but places it perfectly and let's not forget its Oria and her 4 MATES!
This book will suck you into this universe! I was captivated right from book one and continued on till the end. Through plot twist after plot twist, I laughed at their banter, was hot with spice and definitely shed some tears. Especially at the end. I am not ready to say goodbye to these characters and this world, but I am also excited to see what Mandy has coming next.

Mandy absolutely nailed the finale of this duet! The closure provided after that jaw-dropping cliffhanger was nothing short of spectacular. The intensity? It transcended words. Oria, Gray, Soren, Ryder, and the introduction of Maxton who is....—each character shone brightly, but it was their unwavering love for Oria that truly stole the show. Love truly knows no bounds, and this portrayal was sheer perfection.
The blend of fae, vampires, and wolves had me completely captivated. It's like I was transported into a fantastical realm where every page exuded magic and mystery. Mandy's storytelling is addictive; I'll eagerly read anything she writes. This romantasy retelling hit all the right notes for me: the magic, the angst, the raw emotions—it kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish.
I devoured this book in record time because I simply couldn't put it down. The universe Mandy has crafted is nothing short of extraordinary. Bravo to Mandy for delivering such a gripping and unforgettable experience. She absolutely crushed it!

Mandy really brought this story to life. This second book in the duology had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happened and how they found their HEA.
Orias character development was one of my faves that I’ve read in a while. She was this timid girl that was isolated and locked up for 200 years to the now woman that isn’t afraid of telling the men in her life exactly what she wants and needs. I loved her character. I also think Max and Ryder may have been my fav men out of the four, but Soren and Gary were fantastic too. I liked Ryders assertive alpha big D energy and Max for being her friend and confidant for years. I loved seeing her relationship develop with each man individually and the pack as a whole. The spice throughout the story was chefs kiss too 💋🫠
The plot line had me captivated and I didn’t expect so many of the twists and turns. If you like a why choose with a Tangled vibe this book is for you.

Tangled Hearts picks up right where book 1 left off so be sure to read it first! Oria has finally escaped her tower, but now finds herself on the run. Will they ever be able to get rid of Laima or will she catch up to them?
In book 2, we learn more about Oria just as she learns about herself and her past as well. We also get to see her come into her own person as she explores the outside world. I love the relationships she has with each guy because I felt like they each bring something different to their bond making them complete. One of my favorite things though had to be the little appearance from Katarina and her men - made me miss them all over again.
If you love:
- Tangled Retelling
- Why Choose
- Fated Mates
- Touch Her & Die
- Found Family
- Paranormal Romance
Then you should definitely check it out!

Absolutely loved this duet! Tangled Hearts was the perfect continuation of Oria and her mates story.
As Oria continued to grow into herself and her power, she also learned to trust again and it was such a beautiful journey! Love her! Though I miss her frying pan weapon, Oria did amazingly with her gifts and trusting herself and her abilities.
Her mates 🥰 Though they could be overbearing with the need to protect, I loved them for her! Always there for her and her needs. They were the best hype squad for her and each other. It was amazing to read how well they complement each other and Oria. The connections and relationships were written very thoughtfully and very well. I adored them!
Mandy is so good at writing such thoughtful and emotionally intelligent characters. I cannot recommend her books enough!

Her mates 🥰 Though they could be overbearing with the need to protect, I loved them for her! Always there for her and her needs. They were the best hype squad for her and each other. It was amazing to read how well they complement each other and Oria. The connections and relationships were written very thoughtfully and very well. I adored them!

Review: Goddess this is good! Mandy Muse has a way of sucking you into a universe and once you are there you don’t want to leave. If you have read Belladonna and Her Beasts Trilogy then you know what I mean! She does retellings so freaking well! My jaw was on the floor from the prologue. Oria’s growth was absolutely amazing to watch! She learned to trust her bond with her mates and trust her own instincts. Her mates will always have her best interest at heart and will do anything to give her the freedom she deserves. You will literally swoon over these men and how they navigate the bond with each other. I had so many feels while reading Oria’s journey…and by the end I shed A LOT of tears! I’m so glad we got to see Katarina and her men. I’m going to miss all these characters so much. I can’t wait to see what Mandy Muse does next!

Book two takes up right where one ended it is good and fast paced. Them trying to protect Oria and just how good people the guys all are. Taylin although remains an enigma. One con is that Oria's powers are not really understandable, never really quite explained although some other details like who chose her fated mates was given and the meaning of the flower. Some things are still a mystery to me. The love between them all was the men as a brother hood and Oria was beautiful and they shared her so well. You must read the epilog that you have to ask for at the end she should have included it in the book and would love a third book there is material here for the author to work with for sure.

My heart. So many emotions throughout this book. I wanted to cry. I laughed. I hurt for the characters.
The journey these characters are on will keep you on your toes, but at the same give you roots into who they are as a whole. I loved the banter, steam/spice, tension, and heartfelt moments. There is a lot of healing and growth for all characters.
I wish I could keep reading about this world and these characters. Muse does an amazing job making lovable and relatable characters with adventure and a world that will keep you captivated until the very end.

What an ending to the duet!
This picks up right where Tangled Fates finishes so be sure to read that first.
The journey our characters went on was full of growth. Oria gained so much confidence, Ryder grew as an Alpha and emotionally. Soren became a bit softer, more in tune with his mates (imo) and Gray found his footing then Max.. well he made them all better.
We learnt a lot throughout this finale and the crossover to the Beasts Trilogy was exactly what this book needed as it was full circle.
I can't wait to see what Mandy comes up with next!

This was a beautiful ending to this duet! I'm obsessed with the names the guys have for her like they literally make me swoon. The spice in this was so good, and I love their connection. The way the MMCs treat Oria is amazing. I also loved watching Oria's confidence grow throughout this book! She is such a strong character. This series has definitely made me want to check out The Belladonnas series with all the mentions and cameos! This was a great retelling and I can't wait to read more by Mandy.

Absolute perfection
This book 2 of the Tangled Duet is so good. Perfect and gives answers to things was waiting for. Loved watching Oria grow and also her mates to grow with her. Some were reluctant but read this to see gow it plays out.
Such an amazing retelling that I didn't know I needed but so glad was written. So much happens in this book and, I know I keep saying but so true, was written so well. I love all of the guys and some of the side characters. Here's hoping for a book or two on a character that I don't want to mention and spoil anything. Great book.

This second book of the duet picked up right where we were left off in Tangled Fates. We continue to know more about each of the characters and are also introduced to a new one. I love the relationships that are built between all of these characters. There is just the right amount of spicy and tension in this story. I also loved the glimpse to characters from the Belladonna and Her Beasts trilogy ❤️.
Thank you the author for the ARC, this is a voluntary honest review.

The second one I felt was better than the beginning part of the duet. I liked how they amplified each other in this one. However, I really thought Oria would be a *little* more extra and have power that blasted everyone. I guess there is still more to explore in this world. 4/5 for spice in terms of number of scenes, dirty talk, and some kink. I enjoyed it overall, just wished she kicked some butt independently more.

Words can’t describe how much I loved this book. There were a whole lot of WTF moments, in the best way possible. You know when a book is just so well written it completely consumes you and takes control of your emotions?? This is one of those books.
Mandy. I adore you and I adore this book. I adore this interconnected world you have created and never want to leave it. Now… please give me Zero so I can have my feelings hurt again.

Book 2 of 2
I really liked the conclusion of the Tangled Duet! I love the connection the author is making between books in this world!
Oria and her mates were busy during this book! There were definitely some moments I was on the end of my seat for, and some I totally didn't see coming!
I loved that even though the book was why choose, there were those one on one moments and not just all group activities. It made the connections feel more developed and real!
I can't wait to see what comes next in the world the author is building!

I just loved the conclusion to this duet. Seeing the FMC come into her own, the guys support her, and the bonding between them all was just *chefs kiss*. After reading the Belladonna and Her Beasts series, I was so excited to read these characters' stories, and it did not disappoint. If you love Tangled with twists this duet is for you.

5 ⭐
𝗧𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝘀: Rapunzel retelling, touch her & d*e, why choose, MFMMM, paranormal, who did this to you?, fated mates
𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀: attempted r*pe, talk of SA, k*lling
Wow, this book little made me go through a lot of emotions and it kept me in suspense from the start until the end. I was actually taken by surprise when I realized that this series will be only two books. And that is because a lot of things happen and when you are near the end, like 30% left out of the book, without any possibles of getting better, you kinda start doubting how they'll get to their happy ending.
Anyway, I loved these characters, especially Maxton and Ryder, sorry Soren and Gray. I wished Oria trusted her powers more, but it's understandable that it took her time. I also loved the cameos with Katerina and her mates. It only made me read again her books!!
Their story ends with a happy ending, but the story itself isn't done yet because I know that Mandy already cooks something big that will shock us.
Thank you Mandy for the opportunity to read this amazing book in exchange for an honest review.

Mandy Muse writes perfect polycules/why chooses/multiple lovers romances. Okay? 10/10, no notes. I loved the Rapunzel story woven in with the spice that Mandy is known for.
Read the duet. Just do it. You won't hate it. I promise!
