Entangled Intimacy

by Hanleigh Bradley

What are you supposed to do when everything inside of you cringes away from the one you love? When one touch is enough to make you scream? One kiss enough to make you run?

Jarrod Thorpe promises to wait for her. It's everything she'd normally want to hear but now... it's too much and everything inside her tells her to run for the hills.
Finally, she's told her friends about what happened in Brighton but she can't face the idea of telling Jarrod.

What if he doesn't love her anymore? What if he gives her the same look everyone else is giving her? What if he pities her?

She just can't face it.

Keeper, Cliffhanger

4.5 stars - Lulu and Jarrod's story continues and more sharing occurs about why she left her first university behind unexpectedly. It's heartbreaking what she deals with but I love how Jarrod responds. It proves that he's a keeper. It's also nice to see how her friends and brother, although sometimes misguided, are there to support her any way they can.

Things get hot but they also get dangerous in this installment. Of course, that cliffhanger has me itching for the next book!

One of the things I've loved about the over arcing series is how past and future series focus characters are in and out of the other storylines, usually with some overlapping timelines. For this reason I'd recommend reading or listening to each series in order (Rules, History, Intimacy, Fate - I think that's all of them). I didn't follow this and wish I had.

In this specific case, I listened to the book that I received from the author. I like the narrator, Vera Zweig, but wish this series had been made with dual narration.

Story: 4.5 stars
Narration: 4 stars

"I received a complimentary copy of this book and have volunteered to leave a review."

I will repeat my self. I'm in love with Hanleigh's writing style. It's fluent, fast paced and captivating. What a reader might ask more? In my opinion, Hanleigh Bradley has a lot to give in the near future and her name will be well known into the readers community.

Entangled Intimacy, the continue of Damaged Intimacy, puts Tallulah's and Jarrod's personal relationship to a more difficult paths. Finally everyone knows the truth behind Tallulah's fears but it's her who has to face her demons.

Between the angst and the much more drama, there are moments of intimacy and deep love. I enjoy the sweet bit of lovemaking and connection Tallulah and Jarrod have with each other, I was upset occasionally with Tallulah's way of thinking, and, again, I love the unexpected turn the story took in the end... Let's hope for a HEA third book of the series.

Until next time, enjoy your free time reading great books with the most unforgettable stories.

I stayed up to 2 in the morning to finish this book! First off, having under 3 hours of sleep when you have a busy day, is not a great idea. Holy headache! Second, I wanted to scream when I finished. I need more. I must have answers. Hanleigh has done it again. Her writing style is amazing. Now, if she could only end my anxiety about what is going to happen next. I guess I will wait patiently. If you haven't read her books, what are you waiting for? Hurry...Get them now!

Tallulah has a secret she's running from. Jarrod knows she's hiding something. but he loves her, and has since he met her! He'll wait, but he knows it is something bad, because she bolted, when they were intimate before. Weeks later they meet again And he finds out why, she's skittish, she's fearful she doesn't trust. But she loves him and tries. then her worse nightmare happens. And everyone waits! Please hurry and bring on the next book!

Love It

[Mona williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

this was another short read! she is with him as friends but he wants more. her past is stopping her from a relationship. will she tell anyone what happened to her? read to find out.

[Laila Viking · Rating 4 out of 5]

The story continues and the couple still struggle. An emotional story with lots of ups and downs. Drama, danger and a healing proces makes her stronger but is it enough. Can they make it or will it tear them apart? A couple that by the cliffhanger end of this book absolutely has a lot to work with.
Short and easy read.

Beautiful emotional read

ENTANGLED INTIMACY picks up where Damaged Intimacy concluded. Hanleigh Bradley has continued this story just as I expected - yep tissues were definitely a requirement.

The truth finally emerges as to what happened to Tallulah in Brighton and why she returned home. What is definitely inspiring about this story is the inner strength that Tallulah has, and how she copes with what Rick did to her. Rather than the truth harming her relationship with Jarrod, it actually brings them closer together. He is even more determined to protect the woman he loves.

Unfortunately Rick, the cause of all her pain, has returned and he is still causing all sorts of trouble for our couple.

Yet again, Hanleigh has decided to finish her book on one almighty cliffhanger - HOW COULD SHE DO THAT AGAIN!!!!!! What will happen to Rick? Will Jarrod and Tallulah finally get the happiness they so thoroughly deserve.

That next book cannot come out soon enough!!!!

This is the continuation in the "Intimacy" series. It is such a heartfelt but heartbreaking story that definitely ends with a major cliffhanger. Jarrod and Tallulah grow closer. However, Rick is still around and causing problems. Still a lot of unanswered questions, including will she live. Will Jarrod and Tallulah ever get a HEA? What will be Rick's fate? Overall this is a very quick read that is a great continuation in the series. It definitely has drama, suspense, steam and happiness. I liked to see how these two battle to be together and try to live happy. I am enjoying it so far and look forward to reading the next in the continuing story.

*I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.*

[Karen Shortridge · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story begins with a mystery, one that no one should go through never mind deal with it alone. It reads so heartfelt that your emotions can't help but come out and this is tastefully written so well. What happened to send her running to the safety of her friends and family ??????? Worst of all the pity and shame made her keep it a secret, she tried to forget it but it's not something that will easily go away. Then you meet someone you connect with, they make you feel you again and safe but when you try to take it further the fear freezes you, it holds you until the only thing to do is break and reveal your hurt. This was an amazing read and the characters all play an expert part in the story, you really won't be disappointed.

[Teri · Rating 4 out of 5]

All Jarrod cares about is getting her to understand he will wait for her. He is her strength even after what happened and plans on staying right by her side. But Tallulah is fighting her own demons and even though she loves Jarrod can't seem to let her guard down. We get a complicated love story with all he angst and emotions this author enjoys adding to her books. The action and intrigue add to the story and yes there is a cliff hanger.

Great read as we find out more about what happened and watch the fight with the legal system to make things right.

[Deb · Rating 4 out of 5]

The emotional roller coaster ride continues in the second book of the series. Still working on trying to heal from everything, T finally decides to take back the power from her attacker. J is right there with her and his presence gives her strength. Unfortunately R doesn't take too kindly to her decision and now we wait for book 3 because J and T's relationship is turned on its head at the end of book 2. So looking forward to reading the next book. The author did a great job of making the reader feel the emotions in this book by her descriptive writing. I want T and J to triumph.

[Misty Goan · Rating 5 out of 5]

A well written great quick short continuation of the series ending on another cliff hanger, waiting on book 3. Jarrod and Tallualah are still battling trying to be together and happy. There is drama, lots of steam, happiness, and suspense in this heartfelt and heartbreaking story. Jarrod is giving her the strength to face her past, just as they are getting everything together tragedy and danger gets closer. Cant wait for book 3.

[Kristina Simkins · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is book 2 in the Intimacy Series and is an amazing continuance of Tallulah and Jarrod’s story.

She faces several ups and downs as she continues to battle the truth and the effects and of her past. Telling her friends helps a little but she telling Jarrod is another story. Things were going good until her past invades her present and things go terribly wrong leading to her being in the hospital for surgery. Her friends and Jarod realize how seriously dangerous things are where Rick is involved and will stop at nothing to help her.

[Ashley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Tallulah is afraid that her shameful secret will change the way he feels, Jarrod is scared that he will lose her. Again. Can these two untangle the binds of the past, hopes of the present, and dreams for the future to build something true? I absolutely Loved Jarrod and his thoughtful patience, understanding support, and unconditional love for Tallulah as she struggled with regaining her sense of self and the ability to trust anyone again.

I loved the story behind this book. The way that they struggle is authentic. It feels like you are there with them the entire time that they are going through their problems and relationship. I love that it was a slow burn, and to me it made it that more real. I recommend that any one who love a good love story should read those book.

The story between these two starts in Damaged Intimacy and this is the second part of their story. She is starting to heal after the issues they have had but she realizes she misses him and needs him back. He is the one who gives her the strength to face the demons of her past but this also brings the danger closer which makes for a seriously great read.

[Amazeballs Book Addicts · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one is book two in The Intimacy sereis. You should read book one, Damaged Intimacy first. Tallulah comes to terms with what happened between her and Rick. She starts to heal. Jarrod is supportive and patient with her. These two struggle but it looked like everything was coming together then the ending happened. I was surprised but the way the story ended and can't wait to read the next one.

This is book 2 of a great 4 part series with the continuing tale of Tallulah and Jarrod as she bravely attempts to overcome past trauma to connect with him. There is suspense, drama, danger and lots of emotions which end in a cliffhanger at the end of this tale.
