TENSE - The Complete Two-Part Novel Duet (The Wolfs of New York Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 796 ratings

From New York Times, USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Deborah Bladon, TENSE - The Complete Two-Part Novel Duet.

Volume One

He's as beautiful as he is brilliant.

Nicholas Wolf's mind is a dangerously dark place. He dreams up tales of murder, intrigue, and passion so intense that his detective novels have enthralled readers worldwide. His very presence is electric and the energy that flows between us is instantaneous.

He's captivating and consuming. Once I have my first taste of him, I crave more. I'm addicted to his body and his mind is the lure that keeps me coming back for more.

I chase my goals with his encouragement as my fuel. He believes in me more than anyone ever has before. He wants my dreams to come true and as I chase them, he's next to me, spurring me on.

I can't get enough of him until the one night when he promises me my dreams will come true. It's not what it seems. Everything I've ever wanted is taken away from me and the one man to blame is the only man I've ever really loved.

Volume Two

I couldn't have known how one man would change my entire life.

When Nicholas Wolf came into my world, I knew it would never be the same again. I would never have predicted the turn it would take and how his influence could destroy everything I'd worked so hard for.

I fought back when he tried to rob me of my future, and I proved that I'm stronger than he imagined.

As we work to rebuild what we lost, a new challenge rears its ugly head in our direction. The threat is real and when my life hangs in the balance, one moment changes everything between the man that I love and me.

    I enjoy this authors writing style. This is the 3rd book from her that I’ve read. I feel like I need a list of the order I should read the books in. Every time there is a character introduced that clearly has formerly been a main character takes me out of the story a bit.
    I appreciate the fact that, at least so far, there haven’t been inconsistencies between the books. When an author interconnects characters throughout their books I find sometimes there can be discrepancies and that, to me, is unforgivable. You should respect your readers by keeping track of your own storylines. I hope that continues as I read more from this prolific author.

    Can we talk for a minute about nicknames? It’s not enough to make me lower the rating, but the only reason I’m leaving this review is so I can get this off my chest. Someone named CaDENce is not going to be called Den and I highly doubt Cheyenne would be shortened to Enne (though I imagine it would sound like Anne, maybe? So dumb.) Stop trying to make fetch work.

    I really enjoy D. Bladon’s books. I’m almost done reading everything she’s published so far, however; I’m getting annoyed by both the extreme fertility of the characters and the frequent failures of birth control.
    Not everyone wants children as part of their happily ever after. Not everyone is delighted by an unplanned pregnancy.
    Also, speaking for myself, it’s a good thing that I decided when I was 11 that I didn’t want my own children and never changed my mind because in the end I never would have been able to have children for medical reasons.
    I have nothing against children. I taught middle school for almost 20 years and am devastated that medical issues are forcing me to retire.
    I also think that others who either don’t want or can’t have babies are likely to stop reading books with this common theme despite the author’s talent.

    Sophie finally gets her big break as a fashion designer in New York. Sophie meets Nicholas on a subway , going back to her home. He writes his autobiography I one of his books. She didn't keep the book, she gives it to her boss. She wasn't interested in Nicholas advantage towards her, so she blew him off. Finally from not hearing from her, he calls her boss and brings a copy of his next book to him and he wasn't interested. His wife was a delightful, to hear about Nicholas. As time passes, Nick and Sophia finally get together with each other and she falls in love with him, but does realize that she has. But Nicholas is truly in love with her. As the story goes it was absolutely incredible read, I'm definitely delighted to let you all know this author out did herself in writing this book! ENJOY

    Dnf

    I didn't like the MMC, Nicholas Wolf at all. I thought he was skeezy. I liked the FMC, Sophia better. She could be quite clever at times. But I just couldn't connect with either character, individually, or as a couple.

    I did like that there was a bit more chase than the usual romance in the beginning. But I didn't like that Sophia felt she had to sleep with him to keep his interest. I bowed out at 43% when I came to the conclusion that I wasn't going to bother to read their second book. I couldn't seem to care all that much about them in this book either, so...

    I tried his brother Sebastian's book next, hoping to give this author another chance. Same thing, I couldn't connect, and somehow, again, the couple development rubbed me the wrong way. Her books, while standalone, seem to have interconnected characters/worlds from other series, but I am not sure if this author is for me. Maybe I will try a different series of hers.

    I am not rating this book since it is a DNF, but I am forced to put a star rating if I leave book feedback.

    TENSE Part 1
    Many characters from the past show up in this book and add to the feeling of familiarity to the character development. However, if you haven't read all of the author's previous works this will not hinder your enjoyment of the story at all. I found Sophia to be very down to earth and easily to relate to. Plenty of heat between Nicholas and Sophia as their relationship builds!
    I was so blown away at the end! I did not see the cliffhanger coming at all! I have loved every one of Deborah's books and this one does not disappoint!

    TENSE Part 2 was beyond my expectations, Terrific conclusion to the story! Deborah Bladon is one of my favourite authors, a MUST BUY! The drama that ended part 1 was realistically and satisfyingly resolved. Nick and Sophia's relationship grew from there, and another drama occurred. Cadence's pregnancy issues made me laugh out loud. The story was perfectly written from beginning to end. It has everything - sex, excitement, good friendships, descriptive NYC locations, and more drama. LOVED IT, and I can hardly wait for Crew's story!

    Reviewed in Australia on August 8, 2022
    3.5 stars. The hero, Nicholas let this down for me.
    It took a long while for me to warm up to him. Sophia was a strong heroine and knew what she wanted. She was very guarded when it came to love and trust. Nicholas was very self centred and thought way too much of himself. I enjoyed the chase, but the cliff hanger at the end of book one left me gasping, not in a good way. The second part of the book was like a recovery from mistakes made and I would be a less forgiving person. Not one of my most favourite books from this author.
