I finished the book anxious for book two! The book is full of hot sex which, for me, enhanced an already rich story. They find each other through the worst possible situation but love is fated for them. Titus surprises everyone with great strength as a ruler, beyond what his bookish childhood would imply. She begins almost immediately to care for Titus. Azurha is strong and even she is a bit surprised to find she can love after growing up a slave and spending her free years as an assassin. Her characters are wonderfully likable and yet edgy. I love the world she creates – a merger of magic, Romanesque time frames, paranormal other-worldliness with a hint of steampunk-like technology. I’ve read other books by McHugh and always enjoyed them but this was my favorite, so far. As her deadline approaches, Azurha is forced to make an impossible decision-complete her job and kill the man she loves, or fail and forfeit both their lives. Night after night, he awakens desires she thought lost, and uncovers the magic of her hidden lineage. More than just Titus’ ideas hold Azurha captive. Rule the Deizian Empire and attempt to right his ancestors’ wrongs, or watch her fall to his greedy kin. Titus Sergius Flavus has yet to master the powerful magic of his ancestors-magic he must wield if he’s to protect his people-but his father’s death has left him no choice. But Titus is not the tyrant his forefathers were, and his radical ideas might be the glimmer of hope the empire needs. You are caught in their web and McHugh does an excellent job of unravelling the knots that keep these two apart and weaving a tantalizing tale of romance within the walls of the exotic Deizian Empire.The deadliest assassin in the empire just got too close to her target…Īzurha, a former slave turned deadliest assassin in the empire, has just been offered the ultimate challenge-seduce, then murder the new Emperor. Tangled Web deftly pulls you in with the intense emotion and passion between Azurha and Titus. She never imagined she would fall in love with her target.
She thought her last job would bring her enough coin to retire her days as an assassin. Now Azurha is put in the position of protecting the man she was paid to kill.
But far beyond a talented lover Titus is what the Empire needs to change. Imagine her surprise when she meets Titus and instead of reminding her of the cruelty of the Empire he reminds her that she is a woman. When she is given the assignment to kill the next Emperor of the Empire before his coronation it seems a job well suited to her not only because she is the best but because the Empire symbolizes every evil which has brought her to this point in her life. A life of slavery at the hands of the Deizian Empire. Azurha knows she is an assassin and she knows what has brought her to her profession.
