I need Wynstelle to decide her own path. Then I will fight for her to safely walk it. I have already pushed my will upon her enough to drive anyone away. 
I need her to choose me because she loves me. Not because she feels obligated.
 
Book two of the Fae Hearted series picked up right where we left off in Between Realms, with the FMC, Wynn, missing and in mortal danger. Additional secrets are uncovered: who Wynn is and what forces were at work to take her from her quiet life as a servant to catching the Fae Prince’s attention.
 
Wynn continued her transition from the naïve and innocent human foundling who saw herself as a second-class citizen to a woman who could (and deserved to) stand up for herself. Her deep-engrained feelings of self-doubt continued to color her decisions, but she started finding her strength.
 
We got more of Jaden and Oakes’ POVs. They continued to be my favorites of her men, all-in and incredibly supportive of Wynn. Through actions and words, they attempted to prove how much they loved and wanted her. How important her happiness was.
 
I still need to see some growth from the prince before I can view him in a positive light, but by the end of this book, he is showing some promise of redemption. He has the potential to be so much more than the entitled prick he has been.
 
This book is still slower burn but has some increasing spice.
 
Tangled Secrets ends on a cliffhanger. I look forward to the next book.
