Twisted Proposal: Central Florida Stories
The sweeter the revenge, the more bitter the cost.
Ethan Ashford prefers the private playrooms of his exclusive club to the backstabbing elite society into which he was born. But when his billionaire ailing father asks him to attend a gala dinner, he reluctantly agrees. Only to encounter an eerily familiar face that freezes him in his tracks.
He quickly realizes the woman isn’t Joyce, a conniving social climber who almost ruined his family, but her cousin Siena Maynard, a fledgling fashion designer who pings Ethan’s Dom radar from across the ballroom. Even better, her uncanny resemblance to Joyce sparks a plan that will satisfy his hunger for revenge—and his craving to have sweet Siena at his mercy.
Phase Dig up every detail about Siena, from her dwindling funds to her brother’s shady connections. Phase Back her into a corner with one way out—to accept him as her sole benefactor in exchange for her total submission.
Ethan fully expected to take diabolical pleasure in Siena’s body, tears, and flesh. But he never imagined she’d sink so deeply under his skin, that losing her would destroy what’s left of his soul
Twisted Proposal is a standalone romance in the Central Florida Stories universe. Contains D/s dynamics, intense scenes, and lots of dirty talk.

All consuming. This is the first book I have read by Victoria Saccenti, and though it is the third book in the series I have never read the previous two but plan to go back and read them. Twisted Proposal is just that, twisted but not exactly in all the ways you would expect. Told from both Ethan and Siena’s perspectives it pulls back layer after layer of secrets and twists to keep you hungry for more information.
Ethan was born into an empire of wealth but found his own interests and only stepped into his father’s role when asked. Siena, also born into money, had a hardship that took everything from her including her parents’ deaths. Now with a dream to start her own fashion design brand Siena seeks out investors. With some start up from her first cousin Joyce, later discovering it was stolen funds from her husband, Siena seeks the investment of The Big Seven. Ethan, the one person that has a deep-seated need for revenge on Joyce, ends up being the only one that can help her, but he has some terms of his own. With no choice and her brother going missing Siena accepts. Everything begins coming to light when Bart, Siena’s brother, goes missing and the mob comes looking for payment on his debts. Joyce, having cheated on Ethan when they were in their twenties, over ten years ago, feels that he is still hers. Under it all Ethan has been both determined to take out his revenge on Joyce by using Siena, and entranced with her in every way, from her beauty to her personality he can’t get enough of her.
Will Ethan get his revenge or let it go? Can Siena succeed in getting her brand started and turning her family’s money issues around? Will the truth of Joyce and the depth of her schemes ever be brought to light? The characters the author creates keeps you guessing on what they will do next and how they will respond to the circumstances that keep piling up against them. Enemies to lovers has always been my favorite troupe and this book checked all the boxes. Twists. Erotic. Complex. It has it all. I look forward to going back and reading more from this author starting with the first two books in this series.

Ethan Ashford is an enigma, coming from money he has the world open to him, but as a private person he likes to play in private, with his friends they created a world where people can come and play. In a community of Million-dollar houses sits the Nexus club, on the outside a mansion and on the inside a world of BDSM and role play.
Although one night his father asks him to attend a Gala on his behalf, Ethan is not prepared for what is going to happen, there at the bar is his arch nemesis the one woman who he detests and will break, but once getting closer to her he discovers he has made a mistake and it is a relation. Ethan then hatches a plan to seek revenge on the innocent Siena, but when he is inflicting his plan, he does not imagine that she will crawl under his skin and plant herself in his heart.
Siena is just looking for investors when her cousin Joyce invested some money, she was hoping the other half would come from her brother but when she finds out he is broke and owes people monies she is doomed until he walks in and offers a proposition to solve all her problems but the only thing is can she give herself fully to Ethan and become his sub for money.
Ethan has popped up in the other books along the way and I am so glad you get to see him in his full story. Ethan to me has always been coasting along the way not really finding that someone he can totally open to, but seeing how the relationship between the two of them grows from Enemies to lovers is lovely to read. The overall struggle of Ethan in the end to try and reconcile the way he wanted to use her to then understand the feelings for her was brilliant.
I really can’t wait to read the next book.

Wow!! I was not expecting the level of kink in this book. I can’t say that I am offended, just unexpected. What starts out as a method of revenge for Ethan quickly turns into so much more. Innocent, not in the inexperienced way but the not guilty way, Siena accidentally walked into a hornets’ nest not knowing she was allergic.
Siena was just looking to find a way to support her family after they had lost everything and sought funding from the Big Seven. It was a last ditch effort. It did not turn out the way she expected. Instead of gaining 7 investors, she gained one benefactor but it will cost her more than just a percentage of her business. Is she willing to pay what is being asked?
Ethan was hellbent on revenge and righting the wrong that had been done that he lost his perspective. When he meets Siena, it becomes about more than just taking his pound of flesh. He never expected to feel protective. He never expected to feel possessive. It was just supposed to be easy, business like, casual, dirty sex. He could not let Siena in. It was too costly. Her family had left a wake of hurt the last time he let one of them in. When Siena’s brother puts her in danger, the situation changes. Ethan just is not willing to admit that his feelings are also changing.
There are some unexpected twists in this story. I hope that we have not seen the last of Strega, but in a totally good way. There are some unanswered questions. I guess that will bring you back for the next one. Couldn’t put it down. Excellent read!!

Twisted Proposal is Book Three in the Central Florida Stories series. The general theme of each book is erotica romance with sizzling chemistry between the characters and each can easily read as a standalone. The storyline is intriguing, the scenes are vividly written, and the characters are unique and interesting. This story centers around the characters of Ethan and Siena, who are both trying to work through some personal problems. Ethan has some issues that he has been trying to work through since his last breakup. He has just started to experiment with his dominant side and is seeking revenge on his ex and her family who he blames for the breakup. When he reluctantly agrees to attend a high society gala, he spots Siena across the room. She happens to be his ex’s cousin and is the spitting image of his ex. This sets a plan of revenge into Ethan’s mind using Siena to do so. Ethan sees Siena as easy prey due to her dire situation and looks forward to her being his submissive. However, what he never anticipated is Siena being the perfect submissive to his dominant. Soon the chemistry and passion between them becomes explosive but Ethan is uncertain if he can trust Siena. Both Ethan and Siena must work through their baggage and decide if they have a future together. This book had angst, drama, passion, secrets, revenge, lies, lust, and intense chemistry as the author delves into the world of dominants and submissives. Another great book in this series by this talented author.

I’m not sure what I got into when I started to read this, but definitely wasn’t expecting this. Twisted Proposal is dark and twisty in very delicious ways. It took me a minute to get into it. I was really struggling at first, but I pushed on. Once I got to the meat of the book, I was hooked. However parts of it were a tad too dark for me, I still enjoyed it.
Siena is the innocent victim in all this. Caught in her brother’s addictions. Caught up in her cousin’s web of deceit. Yet despite all that she’s still naive enough to think the best of both of them.
Ethan pulled her in. She was going to be his pawn. After everything Siena’s cousin did to him he felt he had the perfect plan.
However, what happens when that backfires?
When she starts to crack his steel walls?
If you like BDSM books, this book is for you. If you enjoy dark and twisty, well this book definitely has that. If you enjoy a mob presence tied into that. What are you waiting for? The time is now.
The author wrote an interesting story. One that seems to be part of a series as it’s book 3. Well I don’t know what back story would’ve come from books 1 & 2 as I started on 3, however it reads very well as a standalone novel. Though I may be going back to check out the other 2. While I’m doing that, I hope you enjoy this book!

First, you can read this as a standalone novel, but you're doing yourself a disservice to not go back and read the first entries by this author. Her writing style is enjoyable no matter the level of intensity throughout the story she is weaving.
Ethan is from a wealthy family who has mostly taken his own path, but it doesn't make him any less rich and entitled than if he had stayed enmeshed with them. He has dominant desires and can generally pick his conquest that would be interested in what he offered from across the room. When he gets roped into attending a gala on behalf of his father, he spies someone from across the room who gets his attention immediately.
While she proves to not be the woman who was pursuing him for his abundance and hurt him in the past, she is her sister and looks startlingly like the one who damaged him. Siena sets off Ethan's interests and ideas the minute he sees her, and he hatches a plan for revenge. When he begins sleuthing and finds she is in a dire situation that his money can help her out of, he approaches her in hopes of enjoying her and enjoying the revenge he gets, as well. What he never counted on was her becoming so much more than an act of revenge. Steamy scenes, enemies-to-lovers, maybe a smidge of this rich boy with a grudge ending up having a heart, after all.

I liked this book. In the very first chapter we meet Ethan and he is at a funeral and the line of him saying he's going to get revenge for someone who has died, was so engaging to the readers.In the second chapter the readers get a chance to meet Siena. Siena is a girl that belongs to a not as well-to-do family and she arrives at a big party with her brother as an escort. Siena looks a lot like a character named Joyce that Ethan has a connection to.
Joyce is Siena's first cousin and the ex-fiancé of Ethan. There was some trouble that happened between Ethan and Joyce's relationship in the past. Siena looks a lot like Joyce physically and Ethan is unsure if she is like Joyce who was found to be a backstabbing person.
Ethan does everything he can to put obstacles in Siena's way for the business proposal in this story. There is a lot of steam in this book, as it is an erotic romance. As a reader I was constantly trying to figure out what Ethan and Joyce's relationship was during the course of the book and what happens to drive them apart.
I really like the ending of the book because I love a somewhat happy ending and I love books also that have the will they or won't they troupe and this one has both.

This is the third book in the Central Florida Stories series. The good thing about this series is each book is a standalone so you don't need to read them in order, however once you've read one you will definately want to read the others in the series. This is a hot and steamy romance with an BDSM dom/sub relationship.
I loved the characters of Ethan and Siena Both of these characters have things to work through in their lives which make them more deep and interesting.
Ethan is starting to finally embrace his dominant side since the break up of his last relationship which left him hurt and after revenge against his ex and her family.
Hes not managed to find his sub but he is looking.
When a chance meeting with Siena happens it gives him the opportunity to get his revenge and also find a sub.
Siena is the cousin of his ex and her double and when Ethan finds out about her current dire situation he gives her a proposal she can't refuse. But what happens when Ethan's plan for revenge back fires and Siena starts to get under his skin.
Will she become more than just a means of revenge? And will Ethan be able to trust Siena after what happened with her cousin?
This is a very dark steamy romance, I loved seeing the progression of the characters as they embrace their roles as Dom/sub and how they both learn to trust again

Twisted Proposal (Central Florida Stories Book 3) by Victoria Saccenti
4 Stars
I have read a few books from this author and always enjoyed them. Unfortunately this is the first book in this series that I have read. It was really good and now I have to go back and read the others. Although part of a series, this can be read as a stand-alone. Ethan had a bad experience with his ex and he swore that he would get revenge. Along comes Siena and the perfect plan unfolded. Siena unknowingly threw a wrench in his plans, he fell for her. Ethan is a dominant and Siena is the perfect submissive, his light to his dark. They are puzzle pieces that fit perfectly together. Surrounding circumstances put her in danger which finally makes him realize how much he cares. Will they get a chance at a happily ever after or will the fates cheat him again?
I’ve always enjoyed erotic romances. Throw a bit of BDSM into the mix and I’m happy. This story was darkly erotic and twisted. It leaned towards the sadist/ masochist side of BDSM. Although I couldn’t connect to that part of the story, I enjoyed the book nonetheless.

Twisted Proposal (Central Florida Stories Book 3) by Victoria Saccenti. This is a super steamy series about a dominant and a submissive. Ethan has been left humiliated and defeated by a woman named Joyce so he has decided he wants nothing but revenge. When he meets Siena, Joyce's cousin, he decides to use her to get back at Joyce. Siena is nothing but a victim in this whole thing. Siena needs a investor to get her fashion design brand out there. Her cousin Joyce invested a small amount and she is sad to see that only Ethan agrees to invest in her company but with his conditions. When she finds out her brother Bart, her last hope, is in major debt and owes the mob she realizes Ethan is the only choice she has. Once they begin to spend time together Ethan begins to realize that this is far more than revenge. A real person with feelings and feelings he actually cares about now exists. Ethan and Siena both teach each other a lot about all kinds of things the bedroom being one of them. This story is full of lust, greed, family betrayal and humiliation. You will keep flipping the pages late in the night.

What begins as a plan for revenge quickly takes twists and turns that have the characters questioning things around them. It is filled with family secrets, lies, and betrayal...but also explores the dom/sub genre of s/m which is not often described. As Ethan and Siena go forward in their very unorthodox business arrangement, Ethan is able to demonstrate the side of himself that he is aware of...while Siena discovers what she enjoys and desires in the bedroom (or other places). Add in the mafia, building a business from the ground up, and a jilted ex....and the story just keeps getting better.
I found myself fully immersed in this story form the moment I started reading it. These characters had sizzling chemistry from the first time they meet. The secondary characters each added to the story. Ethan and Siena grew as the story progressed...each having their own reasons in the beginning...and those reasons morphing along the way into feelings (even if neither of them wants to admit it). It was a good story that I enjoyed reading!

Each story gets better and better and this one is ohh so dark and …well…TWISTED! Each book in this trilogy is a standalone and each story dips into a different aspect of the BDSM lifestyle. Twisted proposal is the darker, more twisted side that is rarely talked about. The pain given and pain cherished.
Ethan and Siena are doomed from the start. Family betrayal, distrust, greed and humiliation is just the start. Saccenti brings these two characters together in a last ditch effort for Siena to open her design business. The only thing she needs is someone to finance her way. Ethan has the finances for Siena and sees this situation as a way to bring revenge and get even for his family. Little does he know that Siena is more than her good looks and may be just what Ethan needs.
I really liked this book, much more than the first two because it really pushes those unknown boundaries.

Twisted Proposal by Victoria Sacceti is the third boon in the Central Florida series. When I dove into this book I did not want to stop reading. This dark and twist filled book grabbed me and I did not want to let go. What I loved most about this book is that it starts out about revenge but its so much more from family secrets, drama, lies, and BDSM. Ethan and Siena have so much chemistry that you know the unusual business arrangement they have is going to turn into so much more. You have Ethan with steel walls and Siena who in the end has the power to send the walls crumbling to the ground.
This is my first book by this author and it will not be my last. The dark nature, strong characters, and a world she has created that you want to get lost in make for author I want to read more of. Its so easy to sit and read and get lost in the world Victoria created! HIGHLY recommend this author and series.

This was a twisted 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning. This is Ethan and Siena’s story. Ethan has built his own world that meets his desires. But when Siena comes into the picture his plans change, to some very dark desirable ones. He has a need for revenge on his ex, but what happens when those plans start to look a little different? Siena has some baggage that she is working through. She ends up being the perfect sub for Ethan, will he be able to let her go when he’s done? Overall I LOVED this book. I really like the genre and the twists and turns. We get so much in this story, secrets, revenge, steamy scenes and so much more. The chemistry between the characters was great. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. This book can be read as a stand alone but I suggest reading from the beginning. I look forward to reading more from this author and series. 1-click and get started today.

I have read a few of this authors work. I like her dark stories and Twisted Proposal does not disappoint. She entices you into worlds easily imagined due to her strong word building. I enjoyed the story premise and Victoria’s writing style. Victoria’s vivid narrative paints a picture that is seductive and draws you in with to the BDSM lifestyle that is hot and sexy.
Twisted Proposal is a book in the Central Florida Stories series. Each book can be read as standalones but why not start at the beginning as characters do cross over in some books.
Lured into a world of Submissives, Dominants, BDSM where the game of seduction plays to the Elite.
Mistake in identity is all it takes for revenge to take hold. Slipping under his skin was not on the agenda.
If you like to dip your toes into BDSM then you will like this story.

This is an author that I have loved reading from the first book I picked up. This is the third book in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous books as well, it will help you enjoy this author;s writing skills as well as her characters. I found this book to be fast paced and hard to put down. A well written story where the characters pull you into their world and make it pop. I enjoyed watching their growth as well as their chemistry which is off the charts. What will happen when she gets under his skin? What will fate have instore for them? I found myself hoping they would get their HEA. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens with these two characters. I really enjoyed them and what they brought to the story. I highly recommend this book

Twisted Proposal is the third book in the Central Florida Stories series by Victoria Saccenti. This is a contemporary romantic suspense with drama, danger, tension, angst, emotion, agendas, BDSM, Dom/Sub, secrets, and revenge.
Victoria Saccenti has crafted fully realised individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. Both our MC’s have their own baggage and challenges, which added extra angst, tension, emotion, and interest to the whole story. Add in some sizzling chemistry, and just a little fate, and this story really takes off
Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Saccenti does next.
Happy Reading!
Thank you, Victoria Saccenti!

Twisted Proposal is a romance novel written by Victoria Sacceti, which starts out a bit convoluted and tangled. The main character is defined as a man born into a wealthy family who has chosen a different path and has moved away from his environment and his own family.
With great resentments and a thirst for revenge, he is surprised one day by a young woman related to his family. It may seem like a story told many times, but the relationship between them develops much deeper and is very original.
I really enjoyed reading it, each of its characters are perfectly described. It is a good and entertaining book. I recommend it.

Twisted Proposal by author Saccenti is the third and final book in this totally compelling trilogy. I really liked that the book is a stand alone, so if you haven’t read the previous two, you can certainly understand this one; but, my advice is that you read the other books because Saccenti’s writing style is totally captivating.
I think that what I liked the most from this book was the dialogues because they were interesting, catchy and spicy. If you like stories with enemies-to-lovers topics, then this is the right book for you. Drama, secrets and a story that is unputdownable. A must read.

This was absolutely a very dark and sexy read. I had not read anything from the author before and it looks like there are two other books in the series that I am definitely going to need to check out. This definitely had some darker tones to it and the author’s vivid description of the BDSM lifestyle is extremely sexy. The author created multifaceted characters that just suck you right into the story. This is a very sexy enemies to lovers story and seeing how Ethan and Sienna start out and the progression is just so well written. This is definitely a must read and I can’t wait to check out her other works.

I feel compelled again to point out straight away that even though this is book 3 of this particular series, if you haven't read book 1 or 2 don't worry as this can be absolutely be read as a standalone without issue. This talented author has yet again weaved a storyline for us readers that sees steamy moments, great characters and story twists weaved together to keep us all captivated and thoroughly entertained. I know I have said that before but it still rings true so it has to be said again. Ethan and Siena are great characters who will completely draw you in and keep you turning page after page.

Twisted Proposal
By: Victoria Saccenti
This is the third book in the Central Florida Stories. I have read every book in the series and I have to say that I am disappointed to see it come to an end, as it is just absolutely amazing. One of my favorite parts of this series is the characters. The depth of the characters is incredible. The book is filled with fantastic dialogue that drives the storyline. This plot is definitely dark and full of twists and turns. However, it is the kind that sucks you in at the beginning and you just want to keep reading and ignore all of real life. In my opinion, those are the very best kind of stories. I definitely recommend this!

This is the third instalment of the Central Florida Stories series, focusing on Ethan and Siena. Each book in this series can be read as a standalone, but I advise reading from book one.
As with the previous two books, the author has managed to enhance the reading experience with descriptive language and a smooth writing style. The characters are well-written, and you can’t help but get invested in them. Both Ethan and Siena show great growth and development as the story progresses from the difficulties of their pasts to their current predicaments.
This was another enjoyable read from the author and now I’ve come to the end I’ll be exploring other series by them.

This may be my favorite book in the series thus far! While it is the third book in the Central Florida Stories series, it can absolutely be read as a standalone. You will likely find yourself picking up the previous books though because Victoria Saccenti will hook you in the beginning and never let go. The story of Ethan and Siena is an incredibly spicy enemies-to-lovers adventure that you won’t want to put down. I was completely engrossed once I picked it up and finished it in one day. I couldn’t focus on anything else at hand, only Twisted Proposal. Do yourself a favor and pick this book up and lose yourself in this twisty emotional rollercoaster!

Twisted Proposal by Victoria Saccenti was a well written story about Siena who accepts Ethan's business/sexual proposal to get her dress design business up and running. Ethan is a sadist who want to use Siena to get even with his ex-fiance. Siena's involvement with Ethan leads her to find out she is a masochist. Ethan was not very likable until 75% of the book. Siena should have told him to take a flying leap. But, the intimate scenes were hot and the story progressed swiftly. I enjoyed it but I did have trouble with the resolution of Siena's brother's issues. Definitely worth a read.

This book is the third in the series but can be read as a standalone. This book is the very definition of hot and spicy. The chemistry between the characters was palpable from the moment they first met. You could feel it on every page and only seemed to grow stronger. I was pulled into their story and couldn’t stop reading.
The author has created a great story with characters that seem to fill the pages. It is just as good as the others in the series and I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I would definitely recommend this, and the series as a whole, to anyone.
