Twisted Lies 4 was double the size of the last three books and only provided fifty percent new information. The series Twisted Lies should have been one book and not four. There was so much repetitive information that I was zoning out and just wanted the story to be completed. I lost interest in all of the characters and felt a significant flow issue. All four books would benefit from a rewrite and restructuring.

Hot diggity dog! Venez has NAILED the rare feat of writing a conclusion to a quad that rivals the first book in the series!
Four books in and the EXPLOSION is beyond crazy! There’s a very obvious buildup throughout the series and things come to a delicious drama filled climax in book 4! Sin and Core are EVERYTHING a couple should be! They have it all and then some. However, karma is around the corner anxiously awaiting her turn to chip away at the couple’s happiness. ERMAGAWD! What an appearance this heffa makes! No worries though....Core is THE MAN and a true ALPHA so heads will roll!
This conclusion is one of the best conclusion in a series I’ve read in quite a while! Action, drama, mayhem, betrayal! It’s definitely on my list to read from the very first installment forward without interruption.
Five stars!

2.75 stars
Nando's Spice Rating: Wild Herb - based on content not that I thought this book was particularly spicy.
On reflection, this was the "best" book of the series but still the same rating to me.
This relationship went from 0 to 100 really quickly. I felt H and h got extremely vulnerable without any build up that it just wasn't as significant or hard-hitting as it could've been.
I also think it was extremely predictable and I guessed all of the "plot-twists" well before they happened.
This series could've been miles better but it just wasn't for me. For the ratings on Goodreads for these books, I was expecting a lot more!

3.5⭐️ 3🌶️
Overal it was just okay. Felt like the big reveals were a little lack luster for me. I didn’t see one coming and liked that but then felt it ended really quick. Not sure how I feel yet. 🤔
The smut that we finally got was hotttt though.
My idea of romance is finger fucking you under the table at my favorite restaurant

Sin Michaels a fashion designer and Core McKay a ex bad boy gone legit.. thats the jiz of the books.
This is my second series for Sedona that I have read, and in Sedona Venez style she wrote 4 parts to the story, which I love.
But I wish that part 1-3 were longer (just a little longer than they were).
I really love this story and the plot to it. In general it was a nice light read with good heroine and sexy as fuck hero.
Sin is a strong woman and she has been through alot of tragedy and same with Core. Core meets Sin and wants to use her for his own gain, but the he starts to fall for her. Core starts his plot to uncover things and as he does he starts find out that there is tragedy that waits Sin. This is the story of how their worlds collide and how she handles it all including their love.
I gave a 5 star for this books and I also did the Audiobook which was just pure perfection, Ava Lucas and Teddy Hamilton did a stellar job on the audio. (Love Ava and Teddy’s voice, sexy sexy sexy).
Anyhooo… the Smut was nicker melting for sure, so I’d say “ladies extras nickers out yeah”
I totally recommend this read for those who are into light plots and short but sweet story romance’s .
Get’em out ladies, get’em out..
Again I am going to say I totally recommend this series, Sedona did a marvelous job on the book, just like her other series. I totally loved every minute of the book and the Audiobook.

Omg! The last book in the series and it did not disappoint. It went all out and it was amazing and incredible end to the book series. Core & Sin have this intense chemistry and passion that we have seen through all the books but continues even more n this fourth book and grows even stronger. Sin finds out the truth which had been lingering between her & Core but its what binds them together.
This book is full of betrayal, danger, passion, sex, love, romance, banter, and lust.
It answers question from the series you've been wanting to know. An amazing end to the series. An incredible book xx

Twisted Lies 4 is book four in the series Boss of Dirty Secrets by author Sedona Venez. So the truth is out and WOW!! Didn’t see some of that coming! Core and Sin need to come to an understanding and learn to trust. Can it be that easy- if you listen to the other characters- yep. Also they must close the book on their past and there’s only one way to that- Bishop. Will he get his just desserts- I’m thinking hell yes!
This book is an emotional roller coaster with a sensual twist that will melt your panties right off.
Enjoy!!

I loved this series but I’m a bit confused how I missed reading this last book? But anyway, it felt so long ago I read the first 3 books, I went back and read them again before starting book 4 and I enjoyed them all over again 😁 I loved Core and Sin, this series was totally captivating throughout and had the most perfect ending 😊 Can’t help thinking we could have follow up books on Ram, Jade and maybe the brothers 😉🤞

Captivating
The final book in the Twisted series was definitely worth the wait. Core and Sin get their HEA but it's not without danger, drama, anger, frustrations, lies, truths and forgiveness. Core and Sin's love affair is explosive to say the least. But, they are in incredibly dynamic couple that I really enoyed reading their story.

I love strong heroines, but this girl is too much, trying too hard. I am a bit disappointed, Core was so dominant and their attraction was sizzling in the 2nd book, but in this book he was mostly talking. The 4 book feel like it should be one. Overall I enjoyed the series, I got the happy end and everything :)

This review is of the whole series. The first three were novellas and the last was full length. I liked the chemistry between Core and Sin. For this book though the plot was it for me. The author gave you good suspense without doing too much and taking away from the romance. And the conflict was believable.

How I went from eating this series up!!! And then I got maybe half way through this and I don't really know what happened and why I lost interest. I'm going to blame it on distractions maybe?
But also the book should have ended earlier I think. Didn't need that last part really.
I'd still recommend it because I had a blast for the most part.

Finally, it feels like a lifetime I have been waiting for this book and the wait was worth it.
Sin and Core just ooze heat and sexiness, I couldn't put this book down and not wanting to give too much away as don't wanna ruin it for y'all.
I just wish this series didn't have to end.

So twisted! All the questions gets answered as twisted as they might be. Loved the drama and suspense. And of course the delicious hot scenes were damn sexy and so very hot. Great series!
So much going on. Plot well thought out and delivered.

Riveting
The final of the series delivers all you waited for. The suspense, drama, and details beautifully align too reel you in farther. If you haven't read them all, you still know what's going on, but I urge you to start at the beginning and delight in the journey.

Thick with story and unexpected twists.. it is spicy but it feels more sexy 🤤 the audio narration so good! It’s basically one whole book broken up so it didn’t feel long - I really loved the breaks too!
