Un grand merci à l’auteure pour l’envoi de cet ARC! J’ai adoré retrouver sa plume et plonger dans cette captivante histoire.
J’ai commis un impardonnable sacrilège!
J’ai transgressé l’ordre de lecture.
Je commencerais donc par rappeler cet ordre:
- Up-ending Tad (VF: Tad dans tous ses états) *Série principale*
- Black Dungeon *Premier Spin-off*
- The Courtside King *Second Spin-off*
L’action de Tamed se déroule en simultané des autres histoires, les événements se croisent et offrent des points de vue intéressants puisqu’ils proviennent d’observateurs extérieurs, Kai et Breck, sur qui se concentre la duologie Courtside King.
Breck est une tête de mule qui a une haute opinion de lui-même, bien qu’elle ne soit pas immérité puisqu’il investit tout ce qu’il a dans son entraînement au basket-ball afin d’en être le roi.
Son quotidien est celui d’un garçon de fraternité ordinaire, remplit de beuveries, de sport, de potes et de filles.
Jusqu’à ce que l’un de ses amis propose de prendre des cours de taekwondo, propulsant ainsi la vie de Breck vers des zones inexplorées.
Kai est non seulement un instructeur d’art martial respectable mais également un Dom respecté dans le monde du BDSM, ainsi qu’un professionnel du shibari.
Plus âgé que Breck (21-30 au moment de leur première rencontre), et plus poser dans sa vie, il semble que leurs divergences les amènent autant à se repousser qu’à s’attirer. C’est une lente parade d’adaptation et de compréhension de l’autre qui se créer tout au long de leurs houleuses rencontres.
En plus de ce délicieux Age Gap, je voudrais parler de slow-bun (et c’est effectivement le cas en ce qui concerne les sentiments, ce que j’ai d’ailleurs adoré) mais le "Hot Level" a explosé à la moitié du roman et a enflammé l’histoire. Nul doute que le deuxième volet de cette duologie va être extrêmement pimenté et intensément émotionnel!
Je l’attends avec impatience.

Finally got into the swing of it and it's off to book 2.
Really enjoying this story with details of the other timelines woven in so it feels like a more rounded universe.
Definitely making me want to review my previous relationships with the topics in a positive way.

Loved it!
These two have so much built up attraction to each other it's crazy. You can feel their drawl to one another and it is so strong. This is most definitely a slow burn, like a slow, slow burn but their chemistry is amazing. I was happy to see Breck let a little loose with Kai at the end there. I hope their pace picks up in book 2 because these two will most defiantly be hot as fire!!!!

i always fucking love anything kora knight writes and this lovely addition to the upending tad universe is no exception.
i love breck and kai. i love the way kora writes these guys emotions, how she describes them literally coming apart at the seams emotionally and sexually as they discover who they are and what they want from life.
there's something a little bit extra-special about kai and breck's story though. maybe it's the way he's always so wound up, perfectly in control, overly concerned with what others are thinking about him.
and kai gets him out of his mind.
but i also love kai's no-bullshit attitude. he's not afraid to look at breck and see him for who he really is. he doesn't expect him to be someone he's not.
can't wait to read the next book in the series.

A slow but extremely sexy slow burn.
When Kora Knight says the romance is a slow burn, BELIEVE HER. This took me awhile, only because I have the attention span of a gnat and unless it’s fast paced, it takes me a little longer to read. I’m so glad I stuck with this book, though, because it’s one of my favorite reads this year! I’m only giving it 4 stars because it is a duology and I want the entire story before giving a final say
Kai and Breck? Oh my god. I’ve never felt more chemistry from anyone before. So tangible it practically jumps off the page. God, the way they circle each other this entire novel is SO sexy. And the tinyyyyyyy little nibbles of connection we get are so spicy, I had to read them a few times. Wow.
Kora Knight can WRITE. This was my first book by her and wow. I always love when an author has a lyrical quality to their writing. It really charms me so much.
Soooo excited for CLAIMED!
