But there's one problem--his wife is going to honor every line in their wedding vows until death does them part. 
     Naomi Brooks, a recovering alcoholic, enters into an orchestrated affair to deceive Greg by creating the perfect illusion. Will the plan work or will she find herself a victim in a twisted game?

From the very first chapter, Author N’Tyse had me captivated. I buckled my seatbelt because I knew I was going on a “twisted” ride of a lifetime!


In this book, Jeff thought he was the true player of all times; however the women that he engaged with had other plans. Jeff had issues and seemed to want to take them out on everyone and hurt the one woman who truly loved him and the mother of his son, Nadine. Jeff wanted to play and win his games, but couldn’t really handle the games that were being played on him. Although Nadine had her issues, Jeff was so into himself and hurt from his past, he could not see his choices of women were not good and that they only wanted his money. And then there was Greg who also thought he was a player as well and could not stop cheating until reality set in and his wife, Vivian, finally got fed up with all of his cheating.


Author N’Tyse introduced us to several different game changers and issues. I enjoyed that I did not have to go back and re-read passages to figure out the characters or their relationship to the other characters. The character and plot development was outstanding! N’Tyse would provide just enough tidbits that would pique my interest. I found myself talking to characters and telling them what to do as if I was really in the story.


I read this book in one day. I couldn’t put it down. I was reading it everywhere – while cooking, at stoplights, waiting on others. This is the second book of the twisted series. I do not like to read books out of sequence, but this story was so well-written that it was not a huge issue. I will go back and read the first book, Twisted Seduction, to see the development of the characters. I hope N’Tyse continues the series because I really want to know what happens to some of the characters.


This book really made you think about forgiveness and how you treat others. It also made you focus on what was really important and to stop playing games with people’s emotions because you might be the one who gets “twisted” in the end.

In the sequel to "Twisted Seduction", we catch up with Nadine, the woman who had an affair with her best friend's husband and now…is raising a son from that union. She is dealt a hard blow relationship wise and is learning how to move forward.

Jeff is living life as a single dad, but gets caught up in a web of lies and deceit. The insurance money that he collected for his wife, Denise, almost makes him a number one target.

Greg is still mourning the loss of his lover Denise (much to his wife Vivian's dismay), but believes the universe has blessed him with her look-a-like, Naomi. Their similarities fool him into thinking he has received a second chances, when in actuality…it's a setup from the beginning.

Naomi is pulled into a twisted joke of falling for Greg, but then actually begins to have feelings for him. The person behind the whole thing is going to shock you!

This book has me on an emotional rollercoaster that I didn't want to get off. It is the true definition of TWISTED, and I highly recommend that you pick up this 💎💎💎💎💎 series by @author.ntyse. I'm looking forward to delving into the next installment entitled "Twisted Entrapment."

If you have been sleeping on this author, you need to wake up and buckle up as you are on a rollercoaster ride of drama, deceit and secrets. As you read this novel, you will see Karma is indeed a B*tch.

Jeff did his dirt and now he has to deal with the consequences of his actions. Even though his affair with Nadine has ended, they are joined together for life due the son that was conceived from their affair. Jeff moves on but with the wrong woman. He thinks she truly wants him but she has another plan in mind. Sad thing is, Jeff would have given her everything she wanted and more if she hadn't been deceitful.

Nadine is scarred from everything she has gone through. She has lost her best friend and now Jeff has moved on. When she finally comes to terms that Jeff no longer wants her, she meets a gentleman who promises to take her pain away. Wait until you figure out who the mystery man is and what secret of his own he is hiding.

Greg has lost his longtime lover, Denise but she has come back to him in the form of Naomi. Naomi is part of a scheme to deceive Greg but she trips up and actually catches feelings for him. He wants to give her the world if he can get rid of his wife, Vivian. Of course, Vivian is not going away without a fight. Will Greg and Naomi finally live their happily ever after? Will Vivian fight for her husband?

There are so many twists and turns in this story but it keeps you captivated. You will not get bored with the plot as the author does an excellent job of making you want more as you turn the pages. There are a lot of characters and each one has been developed well enough that you don't have to go back to book one, [[ASIN:B005GG0ME2 Twisted Seduction: A Novel (Zane Presents)]] to figure out who did what.

Quite often a book's synopsis will peak my interest and then I am disappointed by the actual book, but I am soooooo glad that this book did not let me down. Twisted Vows of Seduction by N'Tyse is exactly what a book should be in my opinion. The drama, the fun, the deceit, the games, and the twists and turns kept me intrigued!!!

And, while this book is quite entertaining there are some underlying serious issues. It tends to mirror real life in the fact that at some point we have to make a decision if our secrets are really worth protecting. It also makes you ponder just how far will a person go in the name of love and/or for the love of money and security. The plot development, the pace, and the writing style were all perfect! I will be honest and say I was not too familiar with N'Tyse until a few months ago and now I want to read every single book that she has written!!

DISCLAIMER: I received a complimentary copy of Twisted Vows of Seduction in exchange for an honest review.

This book started off reeling me in! Kept me wanting to know what's going to happen next! Nadine made me proud this time around. Found a soft spot for Greg and realized why I had a feeling that Vivian wasn't no fool. Miss Ménage must have 9 lives cause luck seemed to be on her side even when she didn't deserve it. I'm looking forward to the next installment and seeing if Jeff has changed his mind about love, will Nadine find her happiness, the fate of Greg and Miss Naomi as well as crazy Vivian. If you like drama, this is full of it, good read!

This book is set one year later after the death of Denise. Jeff was Nadene’s reward for patience. However he is not ready to be married and is only focused on taking care of his children. Greg is still not over Denise’s death so he continues to cheat on his wife with Naomi who looks like Denise. Naomi is only filling a void in his life even though he spoils her with anything from clothes to a new house. He is thinking about leaving his wife even though he doesn’t know that Noami was working for Vivianne. Vivianne was not happy about the affair so she tries to end his life. Jeff was seeing Manage until she tried to steal from him. Nadene eventually moves in from Jeff when she meets Leonard.

4.5 stars.

This isn't a guilty pleasure rating either like the other book. While the story was alright, I was in stitches with the author's writing. Her descriptions just killed me and took the book to a whole other level for me. My rating is 4.5 because there is just one thing that is missing and that is Jeff's story ending the way it did. I wanted more man. One more book in the series and give on the Entrapment!

Okay so, is there a book 3 I'm supposed to be waiting on? Like, I need a "To be continued" or something at the end if it is because this ending was totally lack luster and left me with a million other questions. Other than that, it was a decent read and the way everybody was somehow in relation made for an interesting plot.

This is a nice series. All of the twist and turns. With the plot twist is interesting. The men seemed a little too vulnerable and did not display common sense. Never asked questions. That seemed so unreal; however, I did enjoy the story.

Twisted Vows of Seduction was published in 2013. Filled with scandal, deception, and explosive twists, this sequel to Twisted Seduction delivers twice the heat, twice the drama, and a climax no one will see coming.

Still mourning the death of his lover, Denise, Greg Adams conspires to leave his wife. He believes that Denise has come back to him in the form of a woman named Naomi Brooks, and he can’t forget her. But there’s one problem—his wife is going to honor every line in their wedding vows until death does them part.

Naomi Brooks, a recovering alcoholic, enters into an orchestrated affair to deceive Greg by creating the perfect illusion. Will the plan work or will she find herself a victim in a twisted game?

A long-term torrid affair with her best friend’s husband, Jeff, has scarred Nadine Collins for life. Nadine decides she must take a vow of celibacy to cleanse her spirit. While her journey seems impossible, she can see a light at the end of the tunnel. There’s only one problem—she’s still not over Jeff, now a divorcé living life in the fast lane.

Ménage, an aspiring actress, has her sights set on Hollywood. She will do anything to ensure her rise to the top, including robbing Jeff of all the life insurance money he collected after his wife died. But a blast from the past slows her down. When Jeff comes running to her rescue, it proves to be the perfect setup.

The real twisted games are just beginning.

So from the blurb above you can see that the sequel is even more dramatic than the first. Who knew that Nadine and Jeff would have an affair? Even more that Denise cheated on Jeff also and Greg is still not over Denise which leads to the ultimate trap for his wife. Lies, and manipulation are just the foundation of this sequel. To discover what happens to Jeff and Nadine, I suggest you pick up your copy. The new players just keep the story moving forward but I am not a fan of Menage. (lol) Poor Jeff just keeps getting set up no matter what he does. How will it end for him? (More on this in book 3’s review.)

What did I like about this book?

Well, it’s crazy but the story of Jeff and Nadine unfolding even more. The plot twist (spoiler alert) leading from the previous novel into the sequel that Jeff didn’t actually propose to Nadine. I had mixed feelings on this. I was rooting for Nadine to be happy with Jeff. She was in love with him and Denise loved Greg but Greg had his own secret wife. It’s all very twisted and love triangles everywhere. The sequel proved to be just as promising as the first. So the drama continued and I liked it. It reminded me of a time in my life before marriage where I dated but the men had other women on the side and the women knew nothing of me but found out and yeah, you can get the picture. Lol. It depicted certain aspects of real life for the shorter version.

What did I dislike?

Menage. She was just evil. Haha, no really. She said whatever it took to manipulate Jeff and get close to his daughter. I am so glad that he caught her but I am curious about what will happen to her.

Did I learn anything?

Keep my husband close. Lol. Just kidding, he’s not going anywhere. On a serious note though, life has taught me that when someone wants to be with you they will. I liked that Leonard came into the picture for Nadine and wish her happiness in the journey. It sucked what happened to Greg though, so never try to cross your spouse. Just tell them the truth if you are unhappy, maybe the marriage can be helped but cheating should never be an option.

Was the book different from what I expected?

It wasn’t disappointing, so in short no.

What do you think will be your lasting impression of this book?

Wow, let’s open the next to see how the story ends. That was my honest impression. Aside from everything listed above, the book was good. I was shocked at the added characters that they didn’t draw away from the original story line and explored how characters deal with grief in different ways. Nadine hadn’t really acknowledged her grief, Denise’s mother was angry, Jeff was angry but used sex as a way to deal with it. N’Tyse used a novel to discuss how life goes on after death but at the heart of the novel, the characters each dealt with grief in a way that was best for them.

Would you recommend this book? Yes.

I had to read my previous review since it has been over a year reading the previous book in the series. I wasn't aware of a series, but glad to read the next book.

Although Denise is dead, there is still drama attached to her. Nadine shares how Denise knew about her affair with her husband, Jeff, but allowed it because she was having one herself. Interestingly, he is trying to make things work with because they have a son together, Canvas, and Jeff is still taking care of a child that he knows isn't his with Denise: Deandra. Yet, Nadine is getting anonymous calls from a female caller who is trying to get the jackpot...who might this be? Menage, stripper on the scene, seeking ways to get cash the clean way but will it work out for her favor. She is an intriguing character in the beginning of the novel. Usually dope dealers go with the educated girls with a promising future, and bam, find themselves in the life and don't seem to know any way out except to scheme and dream. Greg with Vivian, tied to her family's heirloom and wealth but did he start a business for his health. He cannot divorce her or else he will lose all assets profit thereafter. Whose sleeping with who? Twisted vows of seduction for sure, but who is really committed to who? The secrets are bound to come out, or someone will tie them to their secrets for favors to appease them.

Only fault with book that can confuse the reader: Nadine vs. Naomi, only because their names are close. This happened to me once or twice while reading, whose with who again. Be careful when you read.

"Everyone makes mistakes and we all have our secrets that we have to protect..." (page 138). This is one of my favorite passages in the novel. But at what price tag?

This novel is just as good as the last one. Easy, quick read. Keeps the reader's interest...to find out who's scheming who.

Normally, when I read a sequel, its never as good as the first one. This book was an exception to that rule. Here goes...

Twisted Vows picks right up where Twisted Seduction left off. Nadine is hoping, wishing, and praying that she and her baby father, Jeff can rekindle their romance. But, can Jeff ever forgive her for withholding secrets that ultimately destroyed his life? Will she ever find true love?

Jeff is still mourning the lost of his wife, Denise. He finds comfort in the arms of Menage, the stripper he has developed feelings for. If Jeff thought Denise was deceptive and turned his world around, he better get ready for what Menage has in store.

Enters Greg. He feels guilty that his lover, Denise is dead. He wishes he could have just one more chance to show Denise how much he really loves her. Enters Naomi, a dead ringer for Denise. Did God answer his prayer? Is his love Denise back?

All I can say is wow! This book was very well written. It will keep your interest from the first page until the last. Karma visits every character in this book. From the ending, I know there has to be another book. I can't wait.

Like any relationship we usually Love the one who doesn't appreciate or Love us back and when real love slaps in the face the fences that surround the heart are up so HIGH you let it pass by. Well the Love, Lies & Deceit continue.

Nadine has put her heart out their and it has been walked on and crushed but maybe not for Long, will she take the chance at putting her Heart on Front Street Again.
Greg past has come back to hunt him. I just don't know I feel about Him!
Jeff is so confused that he still don't recognize real love and when he's being manipulated #don'tfeelsorryforhim

This is a great read and can't wait for my #happyeverafter OHHHH YES I'M CLAIMING IT FOR NADINE! :-)

The Choices We Make

“Twisted Vows of Seduction” continues on in the inevitable world of the bad choices we make as adults while forgetting how small the world really is and how it evolves for a good reason.

Like its predecessor, it was exciting and definitely a page turner. I loved the way the additional characters were added creating more drama to the story. I, however, disliked the way the story ended which left me in a state of awe and thinking more about the story. I’m patiently looking forward to more books from author N’Tyse in the future! Please continue utilizing your creative skills as a writer. Excellent Read!

Just like the first novel - I was instantly captivated by the story. I am usually not into urban dramas, but this book left me hanging... I need to know if there is going to be a 3rd book written. Very well written, and the stories are so realistic, yet completely unbelievable and cause you to wonder WHAT you would do in some of the situations... Kudos to N'tyse!!! She's won a fan!!!!
