About the author
Alice Raine
53 books217 followersWhere to start? I’m really a lot more boring and normal than my books might suggest. It may disappoint some to know that I’ve never had an illicit affair with a domineering pianist, nor have I ever met or dated a man who frequented sex clubs in London. I have however always had an overactive imagination, which may in part explain where my stories come from! My books may be fiction, but the setting of London was a deliberate choice, I was born and raised in London and as such it holds a special place in my heart which I hope comes across in my writing. Some of my best times have been spent with friends wandering the markets of Camden or sipping beers in Covent Garden.
I moved to Manchester to study, where I ended up living for over ten years. Originally I qualified as an archaeologist, but I soon realised that jobs in that sector were minimal and decided to put my enthusiasm to use by becoming a teacher. Now I split my time between teaching, and engaging my wildly over active imagination by writing. Currently I’m living abroad spending my days exploring, teaching and writing. Where ever I find myself I live with my ever suffering, but hugely supportive husband, our dog and a crazy half-wild cat who keeps the whole household on its toes.
Music is a huge influence in my writing, I listen to everything from Snow Patrol and Linkin Park to Evanescence and REM, in fact, those of you with a good memory for lyrics might even spot one or two lines popping up in my writing as you read. I enjoys writing a wide range of genres including comical real life stories and youth paranormal fantasy, but my first published novels are the adult themed trilogy series 'Untwisted.'

Nathan es, sin duda, un personaje peculiar. No quiere mantener el contacto visual, no quiere involucrarse en nada serio... no espera nada. De nada ni de nadie. ¿Cuál es su sorpresa, entonces, al saber que David Halton, dueño del Club Twist, ha encontrado una chica que se adapta a la perfección a sus preferencias?
Stella, una chica harta de las relaciones insulsas, aburridas, carentes de emoción... ha dado casi por casualidad con ese extraño club. No puede creer que por fin haya dado el paso, reconocer que le gusta la sumisión.
Personalmente, éste segundo libro me ha gustado más que el primero. No dudéis en pasaros por el blog para leer la reseña completa.

Quick read but I liked it more than the previous one. The best thing was this waiting and all arrangements between Nathan and Steela. I like it for 3 stars.

La primera decepción del año, aunque bien merecida me la tengo por no haber buscado más reseñas. Es tal la decepción que voy a reseñar la trilogía completa, sin spoilers, en una misma reseña porque me da pereza.
Es de esas historias de romance con su buen toque de erótica que te promete el cielo y el infierno a la vez y no te da ni un poquito ni de uno ni de otro. Es que en serio, vaya aburrimiento, vaya trama más lineal, vaya personajes, vaya comportamientos y pf, vaya pensamientos...
Esta historia no hay por donde cogerla, es más, pensaba que era solo un libro pero al ver que tenía dos más quise llorar porque no quería seguir leyendo pero, por otra parte, pensaba que quizás podía mejorar o, por lo menos, tener algo interesante. Pero bueno, nada de nada. Es cierto que el último libro me gustó un poco más, algo minúsculo que solo se ve con microscopio pero vamos que poco más.
¿Qué me ha decepcionado de este libro? La trama tan lineal, tan aburrida, tan poco original, los pensamientos y actitudes de los protagonistas, los cambios drásticos de pensamientos, todo en general.
No os miento cuando os digo que hay muchas páginas, y digo muchas, que he leído por encima por dos cosas: la primera era porque narraban dos personajes que no me interesaban nada y, la segunda, cuando se repetían continuamente o solo contaban tonterías o escenas varias de sexo aburridas y repetitivas.
En conclusión, me dejé llevar por unas reseñas que tenían muy buena pinta y que me dejaron con el listón bien arriba y bueno, me he pegado el golpetazo de realidad. No siempre se puede tener buenas lecturas.
Como siempre digo, lo que a uno le gusta a otro le disgusta, así que no dudéis en echarle un vistazo.

Another tough one to review. My main issues with this one are:
*I didn’t get Nathan as a dom
*I didn’t get Nathan and Stella as a couple (they had no real chemistry between them)
*Didn’t care for Rory Carter’s narration (I don’t know what a real dom should sound like, but I don’t envision he’d sound like Rory’s depiction)
I was very disappointed with this one, especially after being interested in finding out more about Nathan’s character from the first book. At this point, I have no idea whether I’ll continue this series.

La historia de Stella y Nathan. Del primer libro esperamos una mayor oscuridad por parte de Nathan, y aunque el abraza su lado dominante, no le gusta generar daño en sus sumisas a diferencia de su padre. Pone un contrato y Stella lo firma. Todo se acepta, la trata bien y el libro termina con él en pánico al creer que puede estar enamorándose de Stella. Pero no hay ningún drama, nada, creo que debieron juntar el libro 2 y 3. No entiendo las 4 estrellas.

Enjoyed slightly more than first book. Didn't like introduction of the brother and his relationship. So much so, could't get into third book at all, so never bothered finishing it.

I loved Stella and Nathan’s story and the journey of discovery they make together. The added of bonus of catching up on Rebecca and Nicholas’ relationship was the icing on the top.
December 13, 2025
Book 1 was more about Nicholas, this book is more about Nathan and his relationship with Stella. My heart went out to Stella at times and I love Nathan’s relationship with his brother.

Books 2 of the Untwisted Series, “Out of the Darkness”…wow. Written from a dual POV, we are introduced to Nathanial Jackson, Stella Marsden and Club Twist.
I really enjoyed “The Darkness Within Him” and the burgeoning relationship between Nicholas and Rebecca and prior to reading volume 2, was a little disappointed that I was leaving them. However, despite a circumspect start, I think that Nathan has thrust his way past Nicholas and firmly taken residence in my heart, as only he could. The main protagonists are extremely well written; frustratingly human, fragile and volatile but overwhelmingly likeable and believable.
Out of the Darkness answers some of the questions raised in The Darkness Within Him like where was Nathan first introduced to the lifestyle and begins to answer what happens with Nicholas after the cane incident? It also allows the reader to use their intelligence to hazard a guess as to why Nathan’s firm is being undercut by 18% precisely, but that is jumping ahead slightly.
Somewhat like their relationship, the book gets straight to the heart of the story without too many frills or distractions. Having had limited experience of domination in her previous relationship and being overloaded in her career, Stella decides that this may be something that she would like to try and so she walks through an unassuming front door and her life changes.
Nathan and Stella are introduced, well more like a meeting is orchestrated, by the co-owner of Club Twist after Stella works up the courage to take the plunge in to the world of the dominant/submissive relationship. Nathan a true Dominant in every way is slightly thrown by his reaction to Stella and loses no time in ensuring that they begin that relationship. Equally Stella is taken aback by her reaction to the indomitable Nathan and is likewise keen, though apprehensive, to enter a relationship with Nathan.
Used to an ordered world Nathan demands control in all aspects of his life and that includes this new relationship with Stella; except he finds himself with this walking contradiction on his hands. However, he decides that for some reason he likes and admires Stella’s contradictory and brutally honest manner and despite his predilection for regiment he finds this behaviour challenging and arousing, which he find confusing and ultimately concerning.
The dual POV enables one to understand the dominant/submissive relationship from both points of view and as such is an extremely good illustration tool. It also aids the hidden revelations that both parties may be viewing this as more of a relationship than a very pleasing contractual obligation.
Unearthing the inner workings of both at the same time as they make those discoveries is enthralling and insightful. Observing the ripple effect as Nathan’s belief that he cannot do a relationship is called in to question by Stella, himself and finally, and with disastrous effect, Nicholas.
The book concludes with a distraught Nicholas turning to the man who normally saves him, only this time the blame is being directed at Nathan. As Nicholas vents Nathan does his utmost to comfort his little brother at the expense of Stella. But as he realises this, he finds himself wondering if his behaviour has driven Stella away and Stella finds herself deliberating her future with Nathan and if she will arrive at his apartment on Friday. I can’t wait for “Into The Light” to reveal what becomes of Nathan and Stella.

February 27, 2016Lo mejor salta nada más abrir las tapas del segundo libro de esta serie de los oscurillos hermanos Jackson. Nathan y Stella escriben una carta de admisión a un club exclusivo donde liberar sus necesidad básicas. Mientras ella abre su corazón, él casi demanda al establecimiento. Es de lo más divertido ;o)
Reseña de Torre de Babel
http://torretadebabel.blogspot.com/20...
Aunque conocimos a esta pareja en un punto álgido de su relación, ahora la trama da marcha atrás y rebobina hasta el cruce de sus caminos cuando los emparejan en el club Twist (retorcimiento). Él es un dominante que rechaza sólo las ataduras emocionales, a las demás le encanta darle forma en torno a una sumisa. Ella es justo la mujer perfecta que busca sin temor a poner en peligro sus traumas nacidos de un padre riguroso.
Una de las mejores bazas de la novela es el tránsito de un plan teórico a la caótica realidad. El proceso aséptico del contrato enseguida se tambalea ante la apasionada reacción de ambos hacia el otro. El lector asiste a un planteamiento de una relación dominante-sumisa que a cada paso está salpicado de sensualidad descarada y pequeñas rupturas de la norma, desafíos que provienen de ella en dulces e inocentes dosis, que rompen los esquemas de él con resultados que le confunden y a mí me divierten.
Aunque prometen seguir las reglas del juego, quebrantarlas es lo más excitante de todo. No os asustéis porque hay una retahíla de escenas íntimas muy gráficas, pero ninguna es atroz ni vulgar.
Podría resultar bochornoso que una mujer rinda su dignidad tan fácilmente, pero incluso cuando acordaban la obediencia de ella y su supeditación total, Stella negociaba pequeñas concesiones que denotaban su inteligencia y la libertad con la que se metía en esta aventura.
Otra de las novedades respecto al libro anterior es que incluye la perspectiva masculina, una aportación que siempre agradezco por los secretos y sensaciones extra que enriquecen el cuadro de la historia. Además los sucesos transcurren en paralelo al primer libro y arrojan luz sobre por qué Nathan aconsejó tan mal a su hermano sobre su relación con Rebecca.
Como todavía tengo curiosidad por los retorcidos hermanos Jackson, tengo intención de leer la continuación ya que la historia de Nathan está muy lejos de haber concluido. Hay que averiguar si Stella le pasa factura por sus desplantes y él se da cuenta de que no se puede vivir en un caparazón frío lleno de malos recuerdos. Ay, Nathan…

Como comenté en la reseña del primer libro, estos libros son muy similares a '50 sombras de Grey'. En el primero se habla de la relación entre Nicholas y Rebecca. En este segundo se habla de Nathan, hermano de Nicholas, y Stella.
La historia de estos dos transcurre en el mismo tiempo cronológico que la primera. Al leer esta segunda novela, tenía muchas más expectativas que con la primera pensando que iría más allá de los hechos ocurridos en el libro de Nicholas, pero estaba equivocada.
Al igual que en el primer libro, esta es una historia contada en flashback sobre el inicio y desarrollo de la relación de Nathan y Stella que como en toda trilogía/cuatrilogía tendrá su desenlace en los siguientes libros.
Me he informado por curiosidad. En el tercer libro, 'A contraluz' continúa con la historia de Nathan y 'Hacia la luz' sigue con la de Nicholas.
Yo, personalmente, como me ocurrió con la saga de '50 sombras', no leí el último libro porque ya sabía lo que iba a ocurrir. Como ya dije, en este tipo de libros lo interesante para el lector es el desarrollo y no el final del mismo.
En '50 sombras', el primer libro era 'chica buena conoce a chico malo, se adentra en su mundo y sale huyendo escarmentada'. En el segundo, retoman sus relaciones y en el tercero, terminan juntos para siempre, algunas veces con boda de por medio.
Es verdad que me gusta la romántica, pero este género se me queda muy escaso en otro tipo de detalles que valoro más, como que el protagonista aprenda algo/evolucione a través de una o varias lecciones que recibe a lo largo de la historia. Vamos, lo habitual en un libro sea el género que sea.
El segundo volumen de esta tetralogía, al igual que el primero, es bastante entretenido para una tarde, pero para mi gusto no pasa de ahí.

La saga de Luz y sombras no tenía pensando leerla ya que es un género que estoy empezando a aborrecer debido a la multitud de libros que están saliendo al mercado aprovechando el tirón de 50 sombras, unos libros que cada vez tienen menos trama, menos profundidad y que básicamente es porno escrito y tampoco es que sea bueno. Hay novelas del género romántico con un punto erótico que los hace especiales, grandes escritoras que nos cautivan con una multitud de tramas y escriben sagas interminables.
Este no es el caso. Tenemos unos libros cortos que se basan sólo en las relaciones sexuales introducidas en 50 sombras, aburridos, sin personajes con un trasfondo, sin trama. De repente se enamoran, se solucionan los problemas y fin. Ya está.
Salvo que aquí no tenemos ni siquiera el alivio de un desenlace sino un continuará en letras enormes.
Lejos de las sombras es otro libro más dentro del género 50 sombras, no aporta nada nuevo, ni una trama que mencionar, ni personajes atrayentes. Se puede describir como una línea plana.

The relationship between Nathan and Stella is as explosive as that of his brother and Rebecca. Believing himself not capable of love,he dismisses the intense feelings he finds himself having towards Stella and is confused about the guilt he feels in certain situations,being his sub he should be guilt free about his actions towards her and not be as emotionally invested as he seems to have become, it has never been an issue for him in the past, which indicates to us as readers that he has genuine feelings for Stella but does not recognise it as love as it is something foreign to him,being as the only person he has ever had genuine feelings for is his brother. I cant wait to start book 3 in this series and see where it takes Nathan and Stella.

I did enjoy this book. It was nice to see Nate's point of view. I am not sure if I enjoyed it as much as Nicolas's book but I did enjoy it and read it in one sitting(6 hrs).
I find it hard the understand how Nate can still idolize his dad. His dad showed no love, no emotion, beat him and his brother and was a bully. Neither he or his brother are. They have love and emotion or they wouldn't have the guilt or the remorse.
I have faith that these two strong, intelligent and good look men can over come all that they have been through and live a normal love filled life.

I'm really enjoying this series. The story picks up with Nicholas' brother, Nathan, and Stella. Both are looking for a no strings attached relationship but as the story progresses things from Nathan's past began to unfold. Definitely entertaining. Can be read as a standalone but much better understanding if read after book 1.
October 18, 2014
Not as enjoyable as book one. Nathan and Stella's story was interesting but the narration from Stella's point of view read like a diary entry or quite a young girl. Not a businesswoman! Too many exclamation marks for my liking. However, I will be reading the end of the series.
October 15, 2014
This series of books by Alice Raine is actually really good.
Dark and deep, brothers Jackson are falling pretty well in Christian Grey's footsteps.
If you enjoyed '50 shades' you will definitely like this ones.
Waiting for next instalment.

AWESOME!!!! I like how Nathan wasn't sure that he was capable of loving someone but decided he wanted to try with Stella. I love Stella's rebellious nature and love how she controls Nathan as much as he controls her.

Disappointed

Good series. Just a bit slow moving for me. No real suspense. But it kept my interest. Some pretty hot scenes.

Loving this series! On to book 3.
February 18, 2015
Such a good read

I did not think that the second book could compare to the first, but I was pleasantly surprised. I love both brothers and Nathan's story is just as good as Nickolas's.
