Twisted Seduction
An erotic, drama-laced journey into the lives of two best friends who will stop at nothing to have the man of their dreams—even when the cost of betrayal has a price tag neither of them are quite ready to pay.
Thirty-two-year-old Denise Jackson has everything a woman could ask for: a lovely home in the posh Dallas suburbs, a fancy car, a loving husband, and a beautiful nine-year-old daughter, Deandra. While seemingly having it all, Denise still feels incomplete. Her nine years of marriage to Jeff have been nothing more for her than a marriage of convenience to raise Deandra in a stable two-parent home. She pretends to be happily married, but allows her husband and best friend to carry on an affair, giving Denise time to get better acquainted with her multimillionaire client, Greg Adams. But when Denise’s husband discovers he isn’t Deandra’s father after all, her carefully built lies come tumbling down.
Twisted Seduction lures readers into an orchestrated web of raw emotion, deceit, infidelity, and sex that makes for an exhilarating read.

Intriguing, Engaging, Twisted & Action Packed! A Mind Blowing Read! I Loved It!
May 1, 2018
Nadine is a single, successful co-owner of a Investment Firm, who just happens to be having an affair with her best friend/co-owner Denise's husband Jeff. Denise turns a blind eye to a lot, because she has secrets of her own.
There were so many twists and turns in this book, which should have come with a warning label on it! Not only did it entertain, but it educated the reader about the banking industry. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series "Twisted Vows of Seduction."
I highly recommend this 💎💎💎💎💎 page turner by @author.ntyse to all avid readers. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

While reading Twisted Seduction, I was waiting for the twists with a taste of seduction. N’Tyse does tip over the scale of the erotic-ness and seduction of luring married couples sleeping with the opposite sex. Married Denise Jackson sleeps with married Greg Adams, with the expectation of things going further but surprisingly, he lets her know clearly it is just an affair and nothing more. Denise, best friend, Nadine after three years of sexually admiring her husband, Jeff, finally gets him between those legs. Pregnancy happens unexpectedly, seeing other options outside of an abortion to adoption, but what do women expect who have sex without always staying protected. Denise plans all backfire—divorce, sexual affair goes no further than what meets between her thighs, lies comes to the light about her daughter, and best friend Nadine ends. While reading towards the end of the novel, not sure whether to smack Denise for her foolish mindset or laugh at her for her credulous behavior regardless of her intellectual mindset as a business woman.
As for Jeff Jackson, after a failed marriage and results of paternity test, he went haywire and so does his sexual appetite to the gentleman’s night club. What a place to drown his sorrows and meet his fleshly needs. I wait to see what comes of his life after divorce, and not being the father—shutting his dreams down the drain. Sadly, the part tore to my heart was when he had to downsize employees to prevent bankruptcy for the company he managed and firing special people in the department. I truly know the reality of being downsized and even unemployment for periods of time.
What does it take you to go through to wake up to reality? The ending of the novel, let’s see how some realities give us that “wake-up call” to see it all.
I received a copy from the publisher/publicist of Simon and Schuster for a review.

After spending the bulk of my Sunday delving into the world of Nadine, Denise, and Jeff, I found myself uttering those exact words that are in the title of my review.
N'Tyse managed to grab my attention from nearly the word "go", and I found myself blazing through at break-neck speed until the climax and conclusion. The ending was wild and completely out of left field, but you definitely need to get the book to know what I mean by that.
The subject that this book was built around was a subject that not very many people wish to broach, nor can they find themselves empathizing with either female character. However, she masterfully maneuvered through the ups and downs and the real feelings - good, bad, and ugly - that each one went through. I found myself feeling sorry for what Denise went through, but some of it was her own doing because she failed to do the two things that are needed in relationships: she failed to trust, and she failed to communicate.
Nadine and Jeff... it's difficult to figure out if they truly were pawns in a grander scheme or not, but that is for the reader to decide, especially once everything that was done in the dark was brought to light.
All in all, I loved this book, and I can't wait to see what comes next from this beauty... Bravo, lady scribe, this gentleman scribe salutes your efforts. Until the next journey...

N'Tyse definitely knew how to twist and seduce the reader with this excellent novel, published by Zane Simon & Schuster. Denise, is a "privileged" wife who has it all a handsome husband, a beautiful daughter Deandra, a handsome, sexy husband Jeff and an awesome bestfriend Nadine. Oh and a very wealthy lover Greg. The plot is crazy & seductive Denise has an affair while her best friend has a long-term affair with her husband. But the plot gets thicker and thicker and more seductive by the chapter. The story has an ending that is neither suspect but brave and enticing, making you yearn for more. Great job N'Tyse, you are doing your thing!!

Twisted
Denise Jackson is a beautiful wife to Jeff and mother to their daughter Deandra. Denise is determined to raise their daughter with a father unlike what she experienced throughout her childhood. She then does an unthinkable thing which can ruin her marriage if the truth is ever discovered.
Jeff is a very handsome man that gave up his dreams for his wife and their daughter but later discovers that he is actually attracted to a woman other than his wife.
Together, Denise and Jeff keep their marriage together for the sake of their daughter but things become more complicated than expected. The truth comes to the light and secrets have now been discovered. Will Denise and Jeff reconcile their differences and remain in their marriage? Or will the truth become too painful to bear?
“Twisted Seduction” by N’Tyse is a scandalous story that seems more real rather than fiction. This novel will leave the reader speechless while trying to consume the issues within this relationship. N’Tyse, you always satisfy my appetite while reading your novels. Keep up the good work!

I think there was all talk and no action in this book. For the incidents that took place, I don't think the reactions were truly realistic. Someone should have at least gotten slapped (more than once)/punched, jumped on, or cussed out. Yes, I know sometimes people think/pretend that they are too dignified to do any of those things but there are some situations that make you step out the stilettos and put on the Nikes. I also feel like in the end, no one dealt with any true consequences. I guess the moral of the story is the plan you set up can & sometimes will, blow up in your face.

Audio -
This started a little rocky for me as I found it hard to keep up with the characters while listening to the audio version. I also did appreciate not having a make narrator. Why do authors do this? Spend the money.
Anyway, it got better and then a little too deep at the end. Not sure it was necessary to go to such an extreme here. Lastly, no connection with any of the characters and thats rare for me.

I would have rated this book 5 stars but it was too much dialogue. After it all it was a good book. I admit I struggled. You can tell that the author didn't know how to start it off or she wanted you to get emotionally in touch with the characters. I said there was no need for a long moment of prolonging the deal.

At the beginning the book screamed of erotica, in the middle I got bored... towards the end it picked by up and happened to surprise me. I thought it was just OK. The story wasn't entirely original and I felt like some of the scenes were cut short.

This was my first read by the author and it was a great read. Denise and Nadine are best friends, but once the secrets come out things will change.

Woww! This was a great story, very emotional writing. You felt with the characters each step of the way. I saw there was a part 2 to this book but can’t envision what more there could be to say about them. This one ended well in my opinion!

This was a really good story. The characters were endearing and the narration was on point. The fact she knew the whole time and orchestrated it is wild. The end was emotional. I recommend it.

I love reading and when it came to N’Tyse’s Twisted series, there was no exception to this rule. I began Twisted Seduction (2012) with the idea that there would be some sexual tension between the characters and this would be accurate. These books are classified as erotic fiction.
Twisted Seduction: “An erotic, drama-laced journey into the lives of two best friends who will stop at nothing to have the man of their dreams—even when the cost of betrayal has a price tag neither of them is ready to pay.”
How I got into romance and what I thought about this book:
I began reading romance novels last year and before then I was always reading some type of crime or mystery novel, if not adventure books. Romance novels always scared me away with the amount of sex in the books I had previously read, so I tended to shy away from romance altogether.
N’Tyse brings all this to a halt with her action and romance novels in the Twisted series. I mean the storytelling aspect was there and to me that is the most important part of a novel. She took me on a front row seat watching the lives of Greg, Denise, Jeff and Nadine and it’s hard to choose a favorite character because they are all equally flawed, just like reality. The picture perfect marriage, is usually not so but there are good actors who keep society out of their personal lives. This was no different from these characters, no one knew any dirt until the characters chose to reveal their flaws and all. The plot is sure to give you a run for your money as you grasp the pages of the book or your tablet, phone, etc wondering what is Denise thinking the whole time. Then the bombshell at the end will have you wondering what the next book is about. If you’re as curious as I was, buy all three together.
What did I like about this book?
the characters were realisticsurprisingly, the drama (it pushed the story forward.)the almost happy ending
What did I dislike?
I don’t think I disliked any of it. It wasn’t so much sexual tension that it ruined the story (which some writers tend to do in contemporary or erotic romance)However, poor Nadine (so far, we’ll see what book 2 holds for her)
Did you learn something new from the book?
I learned to cherish what I have more. So many times people take for granted the one’s they love thinking that the grass is greener on the other side. The grass on your side can be just as green if you take care of it. On the other hand, lies and deceit are not the right path to take in a relationship.
Was the book different from what you expected?
Yes, I thought it would be a ton of sex scenes sonce it fell under “Zane Presents” but it wasn’t which allowed me to concentrate more on the story. It was a very interesting roller coaster ride from beginning to the unexpected end. (No pun intended)
What do you think will be your lasting impression of this book?
My main question when it ended was, do I really need sleep for work? It was so good. I started the book at around 5 in the afternoon and stayed up until 11 something to finish it. This is how the next two books would follow. All of them were finished within a week of me buying the books. I couldn’t put the books down, they were just so good and well written. I was glued to my bed for six hours, I can’t remember if I even took a break to eat. I definitely want to be able to have that impact on my readers one day. I couldn’t put the book down.
Would you recommend this book? Yes, see all of the above for why.

What happens when you become entangled with one of your clients? Do you simply walk away from everything that you have with your husband? Do you leave the empire you built with your best friend? How do you handle this situation if you are Denise Jackson? You manipulate your husband and your best friend into a steamy affair, while you play with the man of your dreams.
Denise creates the "perfect" diversion from her extra marital activities by allowing her best friend, Nadine, and her husband, Jeff, to carry on a three year affair. She doesn't care as long as she can run to the arms of one of her clients, Greg. Greg is everything that Jeff isn't. But as the old saying goes, the grass isn't greener on the other side. Greg has a secret he is keeping from Denise that may ultimately be the cause of her demise.
Denise has also sworn Nadine to secrecy about Deandra, her and Jeff's daughter. But will Nadine be able to carry this secret as her feelings for Jeff intensify? Nadine has some soul searching to do, especially when she finds herself in a precarious situation.
Twisted Seduction was a solid read. It had all the elements to be a page turner. It was my first read by the author, but it will not be my last.
