Twisted #2
Twist & Turn
Abigail feared that she had given up on the love of her life, until she met the man of her dreams.
Abigail Jenkins was lucky enough to find one man that met all of her expectations. Edwin Santora was that man, recklessly handsome, with a body carved from stone. But it isn't enough. Abigail wants a baby. Edwin, having just scored his first job out of law school, is nowhere near ready to settle down. Abigail is. Relationship over. Or is it?
Right when Abigail starts to realize that waiting for Edwin is her best bet, Cameron Clarke, the man of her dreams, slips into her life, stealing her attention and her heart. With swoon-worthy sunset-shaped eyes and a smile that lights up the darkest corners of her tragic youth, Abigail knows that he is the one. Suddenly, Abigail finds that having a baby isn't at the top of her list of things to do. Cameron Clarke is.
Sparks begin to fly when Abigail gets what she wants and Edwin admits what he thinks about that. But is it too little too late?

I'm on a crazy emotional ride with this 2nd book in the Twisted Trilogy by Christa Simpson!
This book starts us off where the 1st book ended and it is evident that Abigail and Edwin still have deep feelings for each other!
However, with Abigail's crazy obsession and no ability to compromise she meets Cameron Clarke- blonde, stunning, gorgeous, friendly, proper, respectable gentleman. He treats Abigail well and there is mutual attraction.
Love triangles aren't typically my thing, but Christa creates 2 perfect men for Abigail. And it is just brilliant to see both men fighting for her heart and affection.
Twist and Turn is a WONDERFUL title for this book. There are several twists in the book you don't see coming and there are some that still have me baffled/floored but I won't say anything to spoil it!
There are many questions in this book:can Abigail possibly have a future with Cameron, will he be okay about wanting kids, will he be able to handle Edwin, what happens with Edwin, can he handle Abigail and Cameron together, what does Abigail think about Edwin going out with other women and more?! These are things you will have to find out ....
Go check out this book! Christa has done an amazing job of creating characters who stay with you, who you get emotionally attached to and more!
Twist and Turn is is filled with suspense, mystery, love, friendship and more! Go check it out.. You won't be disappointed you did! :)
I am now eagerly awaiting book 3 to find out who will win in this love triangle and so much more!!!

okay seriously!!!!!! Christa it's great. I love this book, & the way you ended it is killing me even with the little prequel for #3. I am enjoying how Abby's character is growing, I do love Cam like you said I would but, I still love Edwin & feel sad for him in a way. I'm starting to get the paranormal aspect of the book now & am understanding it a bit more, still don't know if it's up my alley or not. I am definitely passing on your titles to my friends to read.

I read this book almost straight after the first, Twisted, and I loved seeing where these guys were going. Part of me wants these three to just make it a threesome, but i have a feeling that won't happen. :( I like them all and loved the book, more exciting moments and suspense about who would be the couple. I can't wait for the third book so I can keep reading.

A Love Triangle With Twists, Turns, & Sexual Tension
After reading Christa Simpson’s Twisted, the first book in the Twisted Trilogy, I wondered how she could possibly inject more relationship angst and sexual tension than she did in her debut novel. But when Abigail Jenkins unexpectedly meets Cameron Clarke, a widowed single father, a volatile love triangle develops between the couple and Abby’s ex-boyfriend, Edwin Santora. Just to make things even more complicated, Abby still shares a house with Edwin at the same time that she’s falling in love with Cameron.
In Twist and Turn, Simpson continues her light, breezy, entertaining writing style. But in this sequel, she turns up the intensity on the drama and sexual tension. She continues to tease us with brief glimpses of the paranormal. The result is even more gripping and entertaining than Twisted. How is Abby going to navigate the dangerous waters of this love triangle? Who is she going to choose: Cameron or Edwin?
Once again, Christa Simpson has managed to entertain her readers from the first line of Twist and Turn, making it nearly impossible to put the book down once we’ve started. The good news is that we finally find out how Abby resolves her romantic dilemma in A Twist of Fate, the final book of The Twisted Trilogy.

Bewildered as to how the events will unravel in the second book of Christa's Twisted Trilogy, I was not disappointed. She adds further confusion by adding a new co-worker to the insane mix already. You guessed it. He's tall, sexy, successful and wealthy. Just when you thought you couldn't drool anymore over this walking, talking dream - you find out he's a single father!! What is more sexier than that? Oh yeah, he's head-over-heals in love with Abigail. Oops, but so ex-flame, Edwin. All three happen to work in the same law firm. Is this a recipe for disaster? Yup.
I enjoyed the paranormal in the first book and slightly disappointed that the second did not contain much. Makes me want to read the third book that much more.

WOW!!!!!! I didn't even see that coming... The twist in this book omg!!!!!! I need the other book asap.
Greatly written. Love that the characters are the same and a new added of members. I love that She's confused and she is trying to figure out what her heart wants. Tough call on the guy I don't know but I will probably pick Cam but dang Eddie sounds so hot and caring but Cam is the prince charming. I need to know more about the sister ( twin ) Jenny and what the heck is she thinking wow . Love this book. Short but I can't wait till part three comes out.

I love the can't figure out which guy I want in my life triangle plot this series has going on BUT and it is a very large but, I hate the fact that there is a not so dead identical twin trying to mess up the works and I feel it is highly unfair to the little girl to be caught up in the crossfire/being used as a medium especially if she ends up with Eddie. Having said all of that: this story rocks and of course as long as there are installments written I will be buying them.

After reading "Twisted", I was already hooked on the life of the ever so interesting, Abby Jenkins. In "Twist and Turn," Abby takes us to new places as her story develops with Cameron, and her evil twin!!! Just when you think a story can not get any more juicy, Simpson does it!! Simpson has a way with words that leaves the reader desperate for more!!! I cannot wait until I can read the third book in the Twisted Trilogy!!!

This is book 2 in The Twisted Trilogy, my debut New Adult romance. It's a sexy, sassy story with a love triangle and a paranormal twist. Happy reading!! :)
August 21, 2013
Love this series!!! Can't wait for the 3rd book!!!
January 3, 2014
Team Cam! I hope the 3rd book isnt in favor for Edwin! I want Abby to have the family she wishes for with Cam.

An amazing read. I could not put it down. This is the second book in a series, it does end in a cliffhanger. I can't wait to read the next book to see what happens next.I was provided a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review.

Twist & Turn was an excellent continuation of Twisted. I found it easy to slip back into the story and watch the characters and storyline develop further.
Abigail Jenkins and Edwin Santora are in different life phases; Abby wants a baby and Edwin is not ready to become a family man. Where will life carry Abby now they are officially over? Into the arms of Cameron Clarke of course. That is if she can get away from Eddie’s possessiveness and find a way to open her heart to another.
Abby has matured in this sequel. She is a little less self-involved and a little more aware of other people’s feelings. I respect the fact she knows what she wants and is not willing to compromise. I still find her emotions to be a little erratic, but I guess it makes sense with her panic attacks.
I love Edwin, he is still strong and sexy but not aggressive or forceful. I wish there was more inner monologue for Edwin. I want to know more of what is going on inside his head, the little glimpses seen this book were not enough to satisfy my curiosity.
This sequel outshined Twisted. I understood the character’s motivation and inner thoughts better, the conflict was definitely unique to this story. I look forward to book 3.

I liked it. This one felt sweeter and less tumultuous than the first book. I loved watching the relationship between Abby and Cam (and Phoebe) develop. I know that I'm supposed to be, but I'm baffled by the whole mystery surrounding Abby's twin sister and how that's going to affect the final outcome. At this point I don't know how book three is going to be able to untangle everything without at least one person getting hurt, but I'm anxious to find out.
February 22, 2017
This was just a fun and amazing read. It was pretty much like reading a good soap opera with all the twists and turns and evil twins to deal with. Ha! But I couldn't put it down the minute I picked it up, so it's just as addicting as a good morning soap. A great sequel to an amazing series. A definite must read. i'm so happy the author was able to give me an ARC for my honest review, as I am very thankful for having had the opportunity to read this book.
February 23, 2017
Very good book!
I can't wait to read the next book to see what happens! Her twin is up to something! Ashley is a real piece of work! Someone needs to put her in her place!

I love this story. I don’t know if I want Abby with Eddie or Cam. Both are hot, sexy men. Eddie is all of the wild and untamed. Cam is all of the sweet, solid, and sensitive that this girl desires. Why can’t either one of them be the whole package and make the decision easier? While I’m asking questions, what the heck is up with the creepy sister? I will be staying up all night to find out! Maybe the third book will help decide which team to choose.
While I do love the story, I wouldn’t be fair to my fellow readers if I didn’t point out the downside of this series. Sentence structure seems to be forced a lot of the time. It feels as though someone has established a rule that there must be ‘at least two adjectives/adverbs in every sentence.’ We don’t really need to have this if it disrupts the flow of the story. Likewise, I must recommend that someone take away Ms. Simpson’s thesaurus (or disable it on her Word program). I just want to tell her, “Relax! It’s a great story. You don’t have to prove your vocabulary.”

4 stars, full review in the morning :-) enjoyed it much more than Twisted!
I was lucky enough to have been gifted this book by the author, thank you, Christa!
following on from Twisted, Abby has made her decision to find someone else, after Edwin states he doesn't want children, yet.
enter Cameron! who Abby immediately falls for, and falls hard. as does Cameron.
I feel for poor Edwin in this book! however, he did tell Abby no, and he has made his bed, he just refuses to lie in it! Abby still grated on my nerves, but she seems to have grown a bit of a spine, and actually stands by the decision she made, most of the time! the secondary characters all appear in this book again, the Madison/ Hunter/Aliah storyline needs resolving soon!
What I really liked about this, is I still have absolutely no idea whats going on with Abby's twin, Jenny! she appears in the book, not just in Abby's dreams, and im not entirely convinced what she is doing is bad, or evil as some other reviewers have said. I need the third book, just as soon as the penny fund holds enough!

This is book two in the twisted trilogy & should be read in order. Oh my gosh! I am so in love with this phenomenonal romance novel with a paranormal twist. Abigail Jenkins wants a baby & Edwin Santora is not ready to settle down. But when Cameron Clarke swoops in to capture Abigails heart will it be too late for Edwin? This novel starts off where the the first one ends. Fasten your seat belts for a roller coaster ride of emotions. A jaw dropping, gripping at the end of your seat novel that will have you captivated & craving more. I cannot wait to read the next novel in this remarkably written & developed story with no plot holes. With sensational character's that are realistic with real emotions & flaws. A suspense filled novel with many twists & turns to keep you interested. A sweet & sexy spicy read with a paranormal twist that will keep you guessing. If you have not read this amazing series go grab it now as this series is in my top 5 favourite reads that I ever read.

i enjoyed the first book in this series (twisted) and was looking forward to this sequel. it started off fairly well though i found it a bit difficult to get into and perservered. The new man on the scene (cameron) and abagail's somewhat change in character was a bit lack lustre and cameron really didn't hold interest. The book seemed to get a little lost as did the characters.From the first book to this book and her and edwin being so in love to this book was very disappointing. Even Edwin's character seemed to lack the gutsy strength and fight to keep her or win her back,everything just felt a little flat!!
not sure i'll read the final installment, possibly will, i just hope it brings the characters and story back together again and it will shine like the first book. its this hope that would make me read it

A wonderful sequel! Even more of what I loved from book 1 with added danger & excitementexcitement& heartwarming moments. I really enjoyed that the paranormal element was more apparent; it was a great addition to an already great story! And as soon as I was done with this one... you guessed it, I HAD to immediately get book 3!
December 25, 2013
I loved Edwin....then I loved Cam....and now I just don't know who I want to win the battle of testosterone!!
I can see that book 3 is going to be heartbreaking because one of these loveable guys is going to be dumped :-(
Excellently written, I loved this book...seriously it's a must read!!

Second book in the series and I loved it just as much as the first book. You go through the emotions with the characters in the story...you laugh, you get really emotional, you cheer them on, you get mad. haha. It's a wonderful story that continues to take you for a wonderful ride.
December 22, 2015
Wait up a minute why is the twin sister out of nowhere so not dead? Wtf just happened. Seriously a waste of time! I couldn't even get half way. It's always so hard not finishing books I don't like but with this one it wasn't.
July 20, 2014
this is book two and I still cannot decide how I feel about Abigail.....Edwin or Cam.... good series but I am still undecided which guy.....or if Abigail deserves either one!!
September 20, 2015
Edwin was the best character I have read in a long time. I understand this book need to push the plot along but my heart aches for him
April 17, 2017
I was excited to read book two and find out how Edwin and Abby's relationship turned out. I was kind of sad to read that they broke up but when you realize it's because Abby wants to start a family and Edwin isn't ready yet you understand why. Then Abby meets Cam and they have an insta attraction to each other. I really liked this book. The paranormal twist really caught my attention. This turned out to be a great sequel to Twisted. I love the story line and the characters are realistic and believable. I am so ready for the next book in this series A Twist of Fate.
