I didn’t know what to expect when I dove into Twisted Devotion, but the narration instantly hooked me—a smooth, seductive female voice followed by a deep, commanding male one. I knew right away: this was going to be intense.
We meet Ruarc, a powerful man with a dark empire and an even darker past. Emily, working hard in her family’s mortuary to honor her mother's memory, stumbles into a chilling secret one night. Suddenly, everything shifts. Emily begins to sense that someone is watching her—lurking in the shadows, getting closer. Her stalker’s presence grows more threatening, more invasive, until she’s ripped from the life she knew and thrust into chaos.
This story is full of heat, danger, and emotional tension—with narration that brings every moment vividly to life. A gripping, seductive ride from start to finish.
Quotes:
The tiny hairs on my neck and arms rose. The man, Ruarc, looked even more fearsome than he had in my cabin, appearing out of thin air in the dark.
“Fear is your red lipstick, little lamb, though it suits you more than that shade ever could.”
I was crying because instead of grieving the dead man in my arms, I grieved the loss of the one who k!lled him.
Carefully, I reached for her hips, pulling her panties down. She stirred, but didn’t wake, trying to draw her legs closer to herself for warmth.
Uh uh, little lamb.
Holding her legs apart, I slipped onto the bed between them.
I was going insane. She was driving me to madness and was boarding the bus willingly, urging her to hit the f**king gas.
“I know,” I admitted, my voice barely cutting through the space between us. I was fucking scared, did she want to hear that? I wanted her so much; I was afraid I wouldn’t know what to do when she walked away. “I won’t come back. You have my word.”
⁉️QOTD: Would you go back to your stalker if he offers you a better life? ⁉️
