This was actually a pretty good story, but my gosh, the editing on this book (Kindle edition) is horrific. The grammar, word usage and spelling are shameful. Character names are changed from one paragraph to the next indicating the author may have wanted to change the name of a character, but forgot to go back and do a search to make sure the use was consistent.
The main characters are quite interesting and the story is a good one...very realistic. The dialogue reveals the characters as mature, s...more

I really enjoyed this story. Ivy was aggravating at times, but there are many women just like her who turn a blind eye and believe everything their man tells them. Basically, she asks her man if he's been cheating on her. He says no, so issue resolved. For some, the simple denial is law. Crazy, but very real. Grey is like most handsome and, more importantly, young powerful men. He's the "villain" yet you understand his motivation and actually like him most of the time... even when he's scheming....more
I read this book b/c I've heard nothing but great things about it. I wish I agreed with all the wonderful reviews, but I don't. I think the author is a great story teller, but the story was so incredibly flawed.
This suffered from poor editing or no editing at all. The grammatical errors were so icredibly distracting. There were sentences everywhere that just didn't make any sense at all. Santo was vexed by the women? Um, that means annoyed. Just didn't work. It was overly repetetive also. I kep...more

I read Ivy's Twisted Vine over and over. I'm a cop in Memphis and while some of her technical terms could have been a little better, she hit the MPD right on the head. I know ten guys who fit the bill of Nicola. And I know about 40 that fit Brooks. Grey was easy too. There are some political families here that I'm sure read that book and wondered if she knew their boys. You have to be on the inside to write a book like this. Many of the things that she talked about are well known only if you liv...more

The unanticipated twists and turns make Ivy's Twisted Vine a truly entertaining read. This story would have been a 4 star for me if better editing were completed. The grammatical and spelling errors detracted greatly from my enjoyment. However, the characters and situations encouraged me to continue to the end. Being a Memphis native, I was engrossed in the life-like story line. Ivy's tale is a classic one of following your mind over your heart. Nicola just yummy and I could easily visualize his...more
This was an amazing book. I purchased it on Authorhouse site and read the e-book at work (shh!) I shared it with a cubicle buddy of mine and it broke the ice for us to start a relationship even though we are from different races. I can truly say that this book changed my life. It was not hard to read and it felt like watching a movie. I started my own little book club with the cute blonde haired boy that has us in knots for her second book. I hope that everyone enjoyed it as much as I did.

I generally love LN stories and this one is no exception. The story is about college senior Ivy. She has her whole life planned with boring politically inclined Grey Henderson when fate interrupts with Nicola Agosta. The story is great until right around the end. The drama was dragged out too long. The climax should have come long before it did. Get on with it already!!! I don't know if this book is before Dmitry's closet, however, Agosta is a character in that story as well, which I read first....more
I don't know where to begin. I was really surprise to get a bang for your buck with this book with the kindle price of $2.99 (kindle location up to 9483). However, I was totally frustrated with the heroine, Ivy. Her continuous acceptance of lies was very frustrating for me as a reader.
Then as I was getting my hair done this morning and I listen to my stylist and her continued boyfriend drama. Boy did I get the book then. I guess I just wanted more of a romance than the normal realistic drama in...more

very engaging story. the premise wasn't as controversial as i had expected it to be, but then the way the author wrote this made it feel like the situations in the story, most pointedly the relationship between ivy and nicola, were just plain normal, like it's an everyday thing. i cried at the end of the book. it's been quite a while since a piece of writing has brought that out in me. otherwise i found this to be very beautifully written and far from boring.
This was actually the first book I read from Latrivia Nelson and fell in love with her writing style. After reading this I automatically went and searched for her and found the Medlov Family Crime Series...everything else is history...became an instant fan
3 1/2 stars....Twisted indeed. Sluggish in parts but overall I nice effort. I really go into the characters. Now I want to read the next. Which will be when??? Who knows but this was a very promising start.
I loved this book. She was caught between a rock and a hard place but ultimately I think she made the right decision. I highly recommend this book.
This was a large book but easy to read. I enjoyed the character development and the commitment to keeping readers unsure to the very end.
Great,Great,Great. I cryed. I laughed. I even get mad at almost everyone in the story.This was a womderful read.
This is a good book however the editor left ALOT of errors. But I really am enjoying this book.
Too much of everything for me. Too much sleeping around. Unprotected. Confusion. IDK. Not for me.
Wasn't my favorite book by her but great for her first try.
So good that I read it three times. Awesome!!!
this is a very talented new writer
Excellent
I have had this book for a long time. I finally picked it up to read and I was pleasantly surprised. This was a pretty good read. I did get a little frustrated with editing issues. However, the storyline and the flow were very good.
Ivy's road to realization about love and life was a trip filled with lots of twists and turns. I wanted to knock her a few times, but in the end she made a very gutsy decision.
This is a worthy read.
