“I’ll be whatever she needs me to be. I can’t walk away from her, I tried. I’m hooked.”
Each book from Abbi Glines is more addictive than the last!
I read Twisted Perfection in one sitting and was glued to the page, unable to put it down. It was hot, steamy and sometimes a little dirty *winks*, with a fast-paced plot and lovable characters. It’s a little darker than the Too Far books, but I’d still actually consider it a relatively light read.

"I'll be whatever she needs me to be. I can't walk away from her; I tried. I'm hooked." ~ Woods
Twisted Perfection was again, an Abbi Glines story that I was unable to put down. It was a fun, sexy and light story that I VERY much enjoyed reading. I'd even go so far as to say that I loved it more than Rush and Blaire's story; mainly because I loved the main characters much, much more...

I will admit it... I am an Abbi Glines fan girl. She is one of my favorite YA/NA authors. Everything of hers is amazing, so I wasn’t surprised with how much I loved this... It was by far her hottest book to date! And Woods is just too hot to handle!!!!
We all know and love Woods from the ‘Too Far’ series, now lets meet Della...
Della had a very strange and difficult childhood. Her mother had a lot of mental issues, and she was kept indoors a lot. She lived a very sheltered life, and still ...more

She was trapped by her past.
He was quarantined by his future.
And this is what happened when the two crossed paths.
With memories that aren’t aloud to play outside, Della only has one goal: to finally live her life and see the world. So she quickly puts her past in her rear-view mirror and hits the road on her way to nowhere and everywhere.
And it’s at a gas station where she meets him.

Well, at the beginning I was super excited.
But then Della opened her mouth and I thought-
Then Woods started annoying me too and I thought-
And I thought could it be? Am I about to be disappointed by an Abbi Glines book?!
I'm sorry I doubted you Abbi.

At the half way point, boy did this book make a come back!!!!

Will I be back for book 2?

“Loosing you would be the only thing that could destroy me”.
I love Abbi Glines, she is a great person! But i seem to ALWAYS rate her books 3 stars.
They are 'OK'.
I hoped Twisted Perfection would be different. No such luck.
The only exception ,i think, was Fallen Too Far and Existence
Every one of my friends LOVED this book! I thought i would too.

This book made me tingle in all the right places! Abbi Glines has a gift. She makes the story flow and come alive. She doesn't tell me, she makes me feel it. I read it with a goofy smile on my face!
Della is a broken, strong heroine. She has lived through horrors and she lives with the fear that she has inherited her mother's mental illness. She is giving, caring, beautiful and strong. She is on a road trip to learn how to live. She challenges herself and the world.

I liked this story LOTS, but I didn't quite get the 5 star feeling. Why? The short answer ~ No book butterflies this time. I've gushed about Abbi Glines before in previous reviews, and YES I'm about to do it again. This author is all about her characters, storyline and her books are like Pringles (once you pop, you just cant stop)! How she grabs me so completely with her story lines - is a mystery.

Another let down by Abbi Glines. I have to say that this book also was a disappointment, with a few shiny ups. But sadly, it bored me more often then not. I ended up DNF it sadly.
Woods has always been the character that stood out for me, bright and shiny, so I really had high hopes for this book. Im sad to say I was let down. Especially Della was a dull and boring character, she just seemed flat to me. I felt no connection to her at all. Her story was, Im sure, supposed to be heartbreaking but ...more

I was so happy when I found out that there is going to be a book about Woods. I loved him in Never Too Far and Fallen Too Far. I liked him so much better than Rush already then. Now after reading his story I can only state yet again that I love him. He was a great guy who put Della first, and his protectiveness and possessiveness was definitely a turn on. Well I have to admit that I have HUGE crush on him now ...more
I enjoyed this a whole bunch more then the Rush/Blaire saga, in a large part because Woods consistently put Delilah first. For all his talk, I didn't feel the same about Rush.
There is nothing I would change about Woods - he was hot, sweet, understanding and all around amazing. He was exactly what Delilah needed. We once again have the case of insta-lust which quickly leads to almost-but-not-quite insta love. I'm choosing to ignore that you probably shouldn't be ready to uproot your entire life ...more

4.5 Woods Loving Stars
I think this was my favorite Abbi Glines book so far. I've definitely had a love/hate relationship with her books in the past but this series is FABULOUS! After finishing this, my first thought was how to go about cloning Woods several times over and releasing them into society so the women of the world could experience his hotness first hand. Someone with better science skills than me needs to get on that! Pronto!
