Twisted is so apt… one of the biggest ‘woahhh’ moments I’ve ever read
I’ll admit… I was ready for there to be a few twists in this story after reading several reviews - but I can honestly say, nothing prepared me for the second twist. The first… I’d worked out… but the second - absolutely blew me away.
I just wish… as with most of M.S Parker’s series, that they weren’t split into separate books. It’s unnecessary. The individual volumes aren’t long enough to warrant them being individual books and the entire series is short enough to not require splitting even into two. I feel the story becomes a little disjointed because of it, and some parts are repeated as a new volume starts like some ‘catch-up’ section. It’s a little annoying and as I say, not at all necessary. The box set should just become one book to maintain the fluidity.
Anyway…
The characters in this story is what makes it. I completely love Blayne and really feel for him.
It’s clear that his family don’t hold him in very high regard. As far as they are concerned he’s a disappointment that will never amount to anything. With a psychologists head on... when you live with zero expectation you either do one thing or another… you purposely set out to prove them wrong and make something of yourself, or you accept that you’ll never get their approval so resign yourself to being the person they believe you to be. For Blayne, he’d chosen the latter. He became what they expected. The lay-about rich kid with a drink, drug and sex habit that has landed him in trouble more often than not.
So when he ends up being arrested and bailed out by his older brother, his Dad gives him an ultimatum. Clean up, grow up and shack up. He is to avoid drink and drugs, get a job and marry within 6 months or he will be cut off and disinherited. Harsh… but probably needed.
This sets Blayne on a journey that he never imagined for himself… and definitely one that no one could have predicted for this bad boy wild child.
He finds himself married to a beautiful and very accommodating young woman he finds at a bar. She’s smart and ambitious and perfect for what he needs, but when she insists on no intimacy in their 3 year marriage contract, Blayne struggles. He needs that connection. He needs sex, but his father’s infidelity clause means he can’t have sex or any relationship other than with his wife.
What unfolds leaves Blayne with a number of contentious issues to deal with. And just when you think it’s all sorted… there’s a huge twist that literally knocks everything on its backside.
Two women… a wife, and a lover and a husband torn between physical love, duty and emotional connection. It’s a really mesmerising story that keeps you hooked in until you’re turning page after page and you can’t put it down.
Not at all what I was expecting, and because of that, this book changed from just another bad boy turned good boy romance into something so much more. Don’t be tempted to cheat by skipping ahead… keep reading, because what happens between his two lovers and Blayne is extremely thought provoking.
Fantastic story… although, I do feel that the epilogue was a bit of a let down. I wanted more… but sadly it didn’t deliver.
Blayne was treated as the black sheep of his family. He drank, did drugs, and slept with any woman who caught his eye. It was never anything serious for him, until he walked into a bar one night. Livie came from the Czech Republic to live in the States after a traumatic event, where her parents and sister were killed. She dreams of designing clothes, and has her life plan all set, until Blayne walks in the door. Then everything starts to change for both of them. Love is not always easy, but will they both think it's worth the fight, or give up before they even begin? Can Livie leave her past behind and concentrate on her future? Can Blayne now step up and finally be the man that he was meant to be? Love can hurt, but with the right person, it can also be healing.
Enjoy reading M. S. Parker books and this one was no no different. There are so many questions in the first book. By the second book I thought I figured it out...I was wrong. By the thou book I was lost but heartbroken. Blayne & Livid seem to be a good fit. There are plenty of questions and fee answers until book four. Then M. S. Parker threw me for a loop and the storyline took me on a path I never read in another book. How she came up with this unique "twist" is beyond me but it all came together. I really enjoyed this series and the t as well as the storyline. I always enjoy characters from previous books/series coming back, this series was no different. The only disappointment was I ALWAYS enjoy a baby born...no baby in this series.
Wow!! I loved this! I'm not sure what Bookshelves to put it under though. Is it a love triangle, infidelity, cheating or romance? You tell me. I'm not going to say anymore as there is enough reviews already. But if you are wondering as to why I only gave it 4 stars... I guessed the ending! Please don't think it's because it was obvious, it wasn't. The character building and writing was excellent, to the point that it left me with the only conclusion as to why Katka and Blayne would do what they did. Pick it up and read it, you won't be disappointed. I'm off to see what else the author has written. Fantastic!
I have to say this book took me by surprise. I always love anything M.S. Parker writes but, about half way through I started to get bored so I did what I shouldn't have done and skipped a chapter or two and then I suddenly missed some very important pieces to the near ending. So I went back, I like the suspense and story line more than an ending, but I felt It drug on more than her other books. HOWEVER, all in all I was VERY surprised and enjoyed the twist! It was worth sticking with and finishing!
MS parker just became my favorite author with this unexpected, truly baffling beautiful book .I'm usually quiet accurate with my suspicions with how twists can come about but this book knocked me off my seat in the best way possible! I just couldn't stop crying this was definitely 5 stars, oneof the best books I've ever read I truly recommended this!!
Great story with and unexpected ending love it . No surprise I have loved all the books I have read
,.you are at the top in your stories, they feel so real, and in this one very clever very un. Expected as said be fore.pkease keep them coming. All my friends have heard about you and and very glad you have expanded their horizon.
Blayne and Livie have have had a hard time. Life has thrown some terribly difficult issues at them even before they were together. Stressful situations can cause such a plethora of happenings that at least in this case result in a much happier ending.
I have loved all of M S Parker's books I have read, this one though really had me hooked and I couldn't put it down. It will stay with me for a long time, the whole story was vivid and the character's so believable. I would wholeheartly recommend x
I loved reading this series of books. I would like to hear more about some of the others in this series. I would recommend this book to everyone who loves romance, with a bit of suspense.
I really read this book all night. Characters complex and riviting. Couldn't wait to reach the outcome as a happy ever after. She really solved the problem satisfactorily. Really good read.
OMG where to start, where to start...what an amazing read.

Will Blayne ask Livie to fake marry him for real????? book two
I have no words to describe this book, it was soooo good. Keeps you guessing till the very last page. Blayne is still so confused about why his now wife Livie denies that they had sex, why would she have sex and then lie about it. Livie cant understand why Blayne would tell her that they had sex after she made part of their marriage arrangement contract say that they would be no sex, maybe it was a dream Blayne had had? But this leads to Livie having thoughts about what it would be like to be with Blayne. Blayne cant be wrong about them having sex as when he arrives home from his day of work at one of the families businesses he is greeted by Livie in lingerie and they have sex in the living room after Blayne asks her several times if she is sure that's what she wants. When Livie meets her sister Katka for lunch she convinces Livie that she should have a one night stand to relieve the stress she is under in this marriage arrangement. Will Livie go through with it????and will things start to make more sense to Blayne when Livie shares her story with him???
Bring on book three cannot wait!!!!! book three

Bring on book three cannot wait!!!!! book four There are no words to decribe how twisted this series is becoming. If you thought youd read it all well you are wrong!!! I have no words to describe how i felt at this book cause its that twisted. I dont know what else to say except sit down read, hold on to the seat of your pants and when you're done the book and you need help picking your jaw off the ground hit me up so we can have a discussion about it because i am still in absolute shock. Praise and more stars are in order for this book!!!!!! book five I am at a loss for words, this final chapter of Blayne and Livies story was truly, truly amazing. It takes a great book to evoke emotions in a reader and thats what this book did. I was heartbroken for both Blayne and Livie for what they were going through and needed a few tissues to finish reading it. Both Blayne and Livie were so easy to fall in love with as was their story. I have to say i am devasted that this series had to come to an end, i am in need of more. M S Parker keep them coming as i dont know what i would do without my fix or your amazing books

Blayne needs a wife to appease his Father and save him from losing his inheritance and daily allowance. He has messed up too many times and his father is done. Find a suitable wife and settle down or lose everything. Livie is a bartender and they meet by chance. The attraction is there but Livie isn't interested.

Before Livie can fully grasps the situation she is married to Blayne for all the wrong reasons but the benefits out way it for both of them. The rule of no sex between them is the only rule for Livie. A monogamous marriage with no sex is impossible for Blayne so they decide casual hook ups are acceptable.
The chemistry is on fire and they have a hard time following that one rule. One night of amazing sex may have changed everything or did they actually have sex?
Book 2
There is a bit of a mystery to the story now. I figured it out before the plot twist was revealed. Blayne and Livie are figuring out how to be in this fake marriage. Blayne is struggling because of is sexual attraction to her. He still doesn't understand why she refuses to admit to the sex they have had. By the end of book two Blayne figures out what is going on.
Book 3
Blayne and Livie continue there fraudulent marriage and agree to having sexual relations with other people but being honest and discreet so Blayne's father didn't find out. Even though the marriage is fake, they grow kind of close and a good friendship is born. What Blayne didn't expect was to fall for another women. The twisted affair begins. It seems Blayne has two women that he is fond of but only one of them he can be physical with.
Book 4
Blayne's relationship with the other woman starts to get real deep. They both fall in love. Blayne seems to be growing up and wanting to settle down now that's he's found his match. Unfortunately he is married with a contract. His feelings for Livie also start to get deeper and he's finding himself thinking about both women. What he didn't expect was for the other woman to leave him so he could be a proper husband just as his wife decided to let him be with his lover. Livie is falling in love with Blayne too but knows it can't work. This is just an arrangement and he deserves to be happy. The cliffhanger is the real kicker. Wow! Wasn't expecting that. No spoiler! Very angsty read.
Book 5 Final
A beautiful story of unexpected love. I found myself tearing up in the final book. The love triangle that had developed is resolved. Blayne finally grows up and leaves his old bad habits behind. Does he choose his wife Livie or the other woman Katka? The epilogue was a beautiful ending.
I loved this series it took me by surprise not what I excepted brilliant loved the characters loved the story line but loved the twist more x a great read x
This storyline was.... Hard.... I hated for the majority of the box set and I was ready to return it and never read another from this author; however, I have loved her other series until this point and I forced myself to power through... In the end... I can only say that I am so absolutely FU*^ING THRILLED that I did!! I would give it 5 stars but I was so DISGUSTED with the hero until the last 15% that I just can't do it- I even enjoy the "dark romance genre" but this was too much... All I can say, without giving it away, is don't give up on the HEA... You will be SHOCKED!!
As for the author... If I could give her 10 STARS I would! So inventive, different and completely opposite of what I have seen from her that I have to give her PROPS-times one BILLION- for her story.... Her other series have always been some of my faves but this one was a kick to the head, a slap to the face, a punch to the stomach but most of all a JOLT TO THE HEART... Not for personal reasons- but female humanity reasons... BRAVO!
DAMN! FREAKN' FANTASTIC! AWESOME FREAKEN' TWIST! AWH GIRL YOU AMAZE ME! AND THE END TWIST WAS FREAKEN' KWEL! I COULD NOT PUT THAT SHIT DOWN! UP TILL 0200! WAS SOOOO BLOWN AWAY THROUGH OUT THE STORY. YOU ARE SOO FREAKEN AWSOME I LOVE YOUR FREAKEN IMAGINATION! THIS WIKL BE ONE I READ AGAIN AND AGAIN AS I DO WITH ALL YOUR BOOKS WHILE WAITING FOR THE NEXT!
As usual, MS Parker delivers interesting characters, a unique tale, sexy relationships, and throws in a couple stellar twists. I thought this was a really interesting story with semi-complex characters that took an unexpected turn. I like that her serials all loosely build off each other. They make for fun, quick reads that are hard to put down.
This was a very good series that had a twist in its tail. It was a very unexpected twist when what appeared to be a love drama between twin sisters ended with a split personality. I thought that this was excellently written and kept you gripped with an unusual storyline.
This story was a little difficult to read and believe. I read it and I always skip ahead to the end to get a better understanding of the story. DO NOT DO IT WITH THIS BOOK. It was and interesting book about Blayne and Livvie. Read the whole book to the end and it will make sense and be worth the read.
Oh my she's gone and done it again, this writer really gets you involved with her characters, the story of livie and katka is a very good storyline, something different from the normal plot, very enjoyable read.
