[Julie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I stand by my reviews for books 1-3, this was just as exceptional. I loved it! Only thing I was so disappointed with was everything between Curtis, Charlie, and Skye. There is no way in hell I would have allowed the things that took place to take care of Charlie... NO WAY! I'd be hurt, no doubt he enjoyed it yet again! The bedroom scene when he confessed/agreed with everything Skye said about Charlie, bothered me to no end! Even she was ok with it? I'd be offended, and done! Especially in their own bed! And in front of an entire party... kissing her the way he did Skye?! NOPE! NOPE!

I've never used spoiler brackets before. hmmph! Jesse, Curtis's best friend was ok, but Cut Throat Curtis is my favorite, he steals the show except what's in my spoiler before, regarding same situations. It just pissed me off. I was thinking EXCUSE ME, Cut Throat?


Either way, I love Rebecca Sherwin after this series and look forward to reading more!

What a journey this series has been. So many emotions have gone through me whilst reading this series and Allegiance concludes the series perfectly.

At the end of Thrive I had no idea where the author would/could take us next or how much more the characters could take. But when their friend needs their help with a plan to rid them all of their final demons, an allegiance is formed.

Jesse "the Gentleman" has featured throughout the series, he wants to help Skye and Curtis truly start their life together but knows they still need closure. He also needs to find justice for what has happened to his family. When the allegiance is formed we are taken on a rollercoaster of a ride with no guaranteed happily ever after.

This series has been completely twisted, just when you think you know what's happening the author twists the story on its head in a mindblowing way. I have been gripped by the story of Skye and Curtis and even after the end of this book they are still in my mind. A psychological thriller that will stay with me forever. One of the best series I have read this year.

Join the allegiance and find out if Skye and Curtis can truly get their happily ever after.

*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review*
Wow! From the very first book in this Twisted series, I have come to know how apt it is named. Rebecca has taken me into a dark world that both turned me on and made me feel like I needed to hide in a closet waiting for my mommy. She knows how to tease, entice, and enthrall and does so with many different voices in this series. At the beginning of Allegiance we get to finally hear from the mind of Jesse "the gentlemen" Kennedy and if you thought you felt loving and protective toward Curtis, wait till you hear Jesse's story. Later on in the book we get to hear from our darkest and most revered couple of the series, Skye and Curtis. Once again they are hot, turbulent, and twisted in that sexy but cruel way. We get to encounter the loyal and all consuming allegiance between three of the most powerful, illustrious characters in the series. This is a reunion that the fans of the Twisted series have been sitting back rubbing the hands together and tearing their hair out in anticipation for.

Jesse the debonair doctor who had a way with his patients, the women that he seduced, and the opponents that he took down with charm and finesse is ready to come back from the dead. We get to see his journey with Curtis, on his own, and see him reconnect with both Skye and Curtis when the time is right. Jesse will seduce and enchant you and leave you wishing to be his feisty, alluring, Kerry.

Skye and Curtis are singing the sheets and the pages more than ever before and we get to see more of their struggle to identify with each other. Their role of dominate and submissive is continually changing and leave the readers breathless and wanting. I don't believe that we will ever be fulfilled and satisfied when it comes to watching the angst and passion with these two. I have never seen a couple love so fiercely and have passion that is searing like a flash in the pan and still maintains that slow, sensual burn that last forever.

Allegiance is everything that I had hoped for. Rebecca has delivered us another fascinating read in this sinister yet iridescent world that draws us to these troubled, seductive characters that have become friends and will remain in our minds for many years to come. There are no words to describe the tangled story line that takes up residence in these books. I highly recommend for those that love surprises and books that leave both your mind and your body warped, stimulated, and begging for more.

In this episode of Twisted, we are following Jesse "The Gentleman" Kennedy, a Doctor at a well known hospital in the area near where he lives. We tune in on Christmas Day as he has just finished an overnight shift at the hospital as a surgeon. We find him going home to nap, then unhappily to his parents house for Christmas. Wanting to see his mother and sister at least, and possibly even his father, what keeps him from wanting to go at all? What kind of phone call does he get that turns him around and makes him 6 hours late to his parent's house? What does he find when he gets there and what happens to him? What happened with his father and his brother? Clearly Jesse needs help from the police and the police need help from them. What is he looking for exactly, other than his brother AJ? What is he trying to do? What happens when AJ disappears? What devious things happen with Skye, Curtis, and Jesse? Just wait until you reach the end of the book, WOWWEE! That was a mind blowing ending. I thought one thing and swear to you that until the end I was going to keep thinking that. I won't ruin it and tell you anything, but the ending will be one you are NOT expecting.

RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT FOR A FAIR/HONEST REVIEW and REVIEWER FOR Bloggin' With M.Brennan.

You can defiantly unique story of the twisted range.
Which is what i like about Rebecca's books, has you hook line and sinker.

The book pulls you in from the start, and has you wanting and needing more of your fix of Allegiance.
Jessie even though happy with his life, something is missing he has his family.
Girl he see's but is not shore where thinks are heading with the relationship. He is a successful surgeon healing the community.

5 Stars!!!

I was given this book in turn for an honest review.

Jesse Kennedy has had his life ripped away from him and he seeks revenge. Curtis, Skye and Jesse reunite to avenge the dead. Will they escape alive?

Rebecca Sherwin has excelled with her writing and the deliverance of the storyline in Allegiance. Rebecca has you sat on the edge of your seat and captivated with every page turn, sending your emotions into utter turmoil. I honestly thought I couldn't adore and love these characters any more than I already did; I was wrong. I found myself getting to know each of them all over again and adoring them even more. I saw a different side to each of these characters and found how much of a rock they had become for each other; especially Curtis to Skye. Their relationship was growing stronger and more secure with each passing day. The twists and turns with this story had my mind working overtime; Rebecca writes in a compelling way that doesn't give any clues as to where the story is heading. The direction this story took totally blew me away. Sit back and prepare yourself for this incredible, amazing, twisted thriller ride!

If you love suspenseful thriller romances with incredible twists; you will absolutely love The Twisted Series by Rebecca Sherwin.

Here we have the 4th instalment to the Twisted Series. We get to see Jesse "The Gentleman" Kennedy and his side of the story. What it was like growing up in the Kennedy family. We also flip back to Skye and Curtis which I loved.
Will they get their HEA? Will Jesse get the revenge he has been seeking? Will Skye and Curtis get to have a normal life? All will be revealed!
I loved the storyline and characters just as much as I did with the first 3 books. There were some twists and turns that I just didn't see coming and the story kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next.
I was laughing, and crying and there were those "OMG" moments!
What made this a 4 star review and not a 5 star is that I felt the story was a bit slow starting and took me a while to get a grip on it. There were a few times when the POV switched and it confused me because I didn't understand which character we were reading from so I had to go back to re read. But other then that I really enjoyed it!!
4 Stars!

[Karen S · Rating 5 out of 5]

Holy s..t, just when you thought this series couldn't mess with your mind and emotions any more, Rebecca gut punches us with Allegiance! This is the conclusion of the Twisted Series and never has a title been more apt.
My head and body feel like I've ridden the craziest, most fantastic roller coaster ever built with more twists and turns than The Amazon river. Rebecca's writing grabs you by the hair and pulls you laughing, crying, screaming and shouting into the story and leaves you breathless.
Cut-Throat, The Skillet and The Gentleman are teaming up and by god if you've wronged them, you'd better start running. Old wounds will be re-opened, ghosts of the past will rear their ugly heads and scores will be settled. But who will be left standing at the end of it all?
If you're looking for a compelling, hard hitting series that will stay with you forever, look no further. Hop on the Twisted train now!

[Tracie Podger · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was given an advanced copy of this book and having been a fan of the Twisted series, I was both sad and thrilled to read the conclusion. This book is slightly different in that it starts with Jesse The Gentleman and his point of view, his story, his 'Twisted' life and family. We switch to Skye and Curtis and the two elements to this highly charged book become intertwined. Once again, Rebecca delivers a breath-taking story full of angst, danger, powerful story lines and great sex! These three friends take on their enemy with intellect and a wonderful deviousness. People are made to pay, lives are changed forever and a bond is formed that was stronger than ever before. I shall miss these character, but then...Is it the end? Highly recommended. For new readers, start with Survival, Revival, Thrive then Allegiance. #GetTwisted

[Philomena Callan Cheekypee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Book four in the Twisted series. I read, loved and inhaled the previous books. As I read each book I loved it even more than the previous book. The characters got under my skin and I became absorbed in the story. The author blew me away with this book.

This is Jesse 'The Gentleman' Kennedys story. He's on a mission to get revenge. We also read more of Skye and Curtis who we've read about in the previous books.

This is a brilliant thrilling suspenseful romance. As with previous books the twists and turns will have you gasping. Amazing read.

A total mind F**k - coming onto the end. Onto book 5

[Debbie Loader · Rating 3 out of 5]

Even though I enjoyed the on going saga I confess to struggling to finish this. I was lost and frantically back paging trying to work out where I missed the transition

[Lilian Flesher · Rating 5 out of 5]

I discovered Survival which is the first in the Twisted Series written by the same Author, after reading it I was hooked, it basically was one of those books you really could not put down, you wanted to keep reading more and more. Finding out that was the first book in the series excited me, as I knew I could get even more of the great characters. Then came Revival which again was terrific, gripping, and as thrilling as the first book was. Oh, but wait there is more, after Revival came Thrive, and omg I was in heaven, my need for more was being met, this series is definitely one I will never forget! It gets you by the windpipe and has you holding your breath. it has you crying and yep UGLY CRYING, you will smile as well at the bickering and banter going on between the characters.

Ok now were here at book 4, is it as good? Hell Yeah, is it as thrilling? EVEN MORE SO! does it curl your toes? definitely, does it MINDf..k you? HELL YEAH. This is every bit as good as the first was, nothing has dropped down on the standard of the writing, the characters have been turned into our friends because we know them so well now.

Skye, a sweet but vengeful woman with the crazy name of Skye the Skillet
Curtis, he is a broken vessel, that only Skye can glue back together
Jesse, oh Jesse is a gentleman for sure, he is a Surgeon and a fighter
Oh, that is just a few of the terrific characters you will meet. Each of them has a story, one that will blow your mind and then some.

All I can say about this is DAMN I hope this is not THE END!

★★★★★
This series has had me well and truly Twisted up inside ;) I simply can't get these characters out of my head and it's no surprise really, Rebecca is a ridiculously talented author... The feelings that Allegiance evoked in me should be illegal, it was like I was plucked out of my life and dropped smack dab in the middle of Curtis, Skye and Jesse's mission.

I didn't think these characters could amaze me any more than they already have so I can say I was pleasantly surprised! 'Cut Throat' Curtis Mason, Skye 'The Skillet' Jones and Jesse 'The Gentleman' Kennedy are all epic apart but together? Together they are unstoppable, they have an authoritative air about them that just radiates from the pages and had me captured until they said otherwise and allowed me to continue my day to day life. After reading Thrive I didn't think I could be any more enthralled by this series, I mean how are you supposed to top that?! But man was I wrong, Allegiance held me captive just as much as Thrive did if not more so because there was so much more on the line this time.

All in all I can't think of a more perfect way to end this series. Thank you so much Rebecca for sharing these perfectly imperfect individuals with us! :)

I squealed most loudly at the opportunity to preview Rebecca Sherwin's new book Allegiance. I've read all the books (so far) in the twisted series, and Loved the chance to snuggle up with the delish Dr Jesse aka The Gentleman prize fighter. The story carries on from where Thrive ends - sort of!
Allegiance also brings back Curtis and Skye but the story is more from Jesse ' s point of view. It follows his struggle to get justice for the death of his family. It shows the twists and turns that Jesse has to go through to find the person responsible. The fight that Jesse, Curtis and Skye have to go through shows how no matter how bad things get good honest love will win out.
I love that Rebecca ' s series live up to its name - twisted. The way Jesse took revenge satisfied my thought process and made me nod - yes you b*****d! Her writing is frank and honest draws you in and twists you and spits you out breathless. Throughout the book the love shared between Curtis and Skye is raw and touching, even more so than Thrive. It's nice to see that there is a little bit of loving for Jesse.
I don't know if there is more to come but it feels that the series has come full circle. But who knows what is ticking away in the back of Rebecca' s mind. I for one can't wait to find out.

** I was gifted a copy of this for my honest review**

Well as a massive fan of this series I was eager to read the highly awaited conclusion of the series. I was also really upset to read it knowing that the series was coming to an end!!

Allegiance is the story of Jesse, it starts off from that fateful night he lost all his family which is mentioned in one of the other books.
We start to understand why he wasn't around much for Curtis and Skye in the previous books.

I love that he seems every bit "The Gentleman" and much softer than he comes across in the other books.

I have to say this is probably not my favourite of the four books, But it definitely still kept me on my seat throughout the entire book.
Poor Jesse has to sort so many things out so he can come back from the dead and resume his life. Can he ever go back to his life though? Can he ever be "Dr Kennedy" again?

One part in this book is explosively good, it made me literally gasp and hold in the tears. If there was ever a moment you wished you could yell at an author, that was it!!

A fantastic explosive end to a brilliant series. I'm gonna miss these characters. Is it really goodbye? I do hope not.

Rebecca Sherwin Has Done it Again!
I have absolutely loved the previous three books in this series, and as I was reading the third book I had no idea that the very talented Ms. Sherwin was planning a fourth, let alone a fifth, as soon as I found out I was so totally excited. Then came the wait. Oh the waiting! Finally it was time, I wasted no time diving in to this volume and was as with the previous three boks, sucked straight into the book and became lost in Jesse's story. I loved Jesse before but with this volume I just love him all the more. Of course we get more of our Skye "The Skillet" and "Cut Throat" Curtis who have both been the heart and soul of the series. This journey is full of twists ant turns that I have come to expect from this series and a darkness and suspense, and love, and heartache, and so much more! Definitely read this book, and the series if you haven't down so already. Start at the beginning with Survival but get the other books, because once you are drawn in, you will need to keep going! I was generously given a complimentary copy of this book for an honest review.

[Tracy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a story of revenge and redemption. It's not a standalone story and needs to be read as part of the series. It follows the story of The Gentleman - a caring heartthrob doctor and fighter, Cut Throat Curtis - gorgeous fighter who has been wronged from an early age and loves only one woman Skillet - Skye who has seen plenty of losses in her life and wants Curtis 100%. Primarily telling the story from Jesse The Gentleman's POV. It brings you intrigue, mystery and down and dirty fighting. You won't be disappointed with the heady storyline. Will they all find their happy ever after or will the allegiance be their downfall. You want to support each and everyone of them to the conclusion. Things don't go according to plan and will it all be a waste of their time and energy. Rebecca knows how to keep you engaged from cover to cover. My only issue Charlie - what a non-lady - I wanted to see more of her downfall. Well done and here's to the next one - Benny!

[Kerry-Ann · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Twisted series by this author is one of my all-time favourites and one that will stay with me forever.

Rebecca Sherwin has written another winner with Allegiance. I am once again blown away by her imagination. To create a story so powerful and stirring is no easy feat but this author does it time and again.

This series focuses on Jesse”The Gentleman” Kennedy, who is a favourite of mine. After a betrayal like no other, he finds strength and redemption with “Cutthroat” Curtis and Skye”The Skillet” Jones.

They all have to join together to face a common enemy and fight with all that they have for their chance at a happy ever after.

The story of these three characters is heart wrenching, intense and will blow your mind.

I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS SERIES ENOUGH.

Five “Twisted” stars!

Oh What a series I loved the whole series I have laughed and cried was even close to smashing my kindle!!! but so worth it, Love Rebecca’s writing. I can’t wait for more from her.

This book is just as much a roller coaster parts wound me up that part at the Party oh hell no way I don’t care if Skye liked it I didn’t and in front of those people I understood it was all part of it but no way in hell would I have agreed to it.

Then then Rebecca your lucky at around 90% I was ready to hunt you down!!!! you had me in tears. I will shut up now as I don’t want to spoil it for others but this series is a MUST READ!!!!

ARC for honest review

Rebecca’s Twisted series has been a roller coaster ride from beginning to end. Imagine The Big One at Blackpool, you climb and climb, the tension building until WHAM!! you’re thrown into a vertical drop that leaves you gasping for breath.

Each book takes you through twists and turns. Not only is the plot twisted but so are the characters. At times you’ll need a psych degree to understand them.

[Shaunna Armstrong · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series will blow you away. Rebecca has done extremly well with this one. Jesse wants to find justice for what happened to his family. Skye and Curtis truly start their life together but finding the closure they need will be another battle. These three friends come together to help each other move forward and be free of everything. The twist and turns will leave you guessing and wanting more.

[Kimothy · Rating 4 out of 5]

This story is full of twists and turns and kept you on the edge of your seat. All the characters from the series are memorable but when read together or when they join forces like in this book they are amazing. This book is full of twists, fights and sexy moments. Read it and loved it, there is nothing more to say. Rebecca Sherwin has a way to work away with her words into your mind and heart so that her characters become ones you get caught up with right until the final page, i know i did.
