Warped takes right off from Corrupted. I was really excited things were coming undone for Ella and Damon. Ella ' s plan is back on to break Damon. She accepts his offer but she is going to twist his offer into heartbreak.
Evil planning, hormonal revenge seeking woman on the loose, YES.......wait No? Yep, that was a big fat No. What we get for a good 70% of the book is Ella's doubt about everything. She has a lot of self pity that was over done.....and over and over.
As I began to skim most of the book, I finally get to some real drama. The real good stuff, when skimming can't be done. The final pages of this book grab you and the lies and secrets begin to loosen. When Damon and Ella start to accept their lives with real honesty, this story flows. These two are meant for each other. All the vengeful planning, actually created love on different levels.
Celebration and happiness is short lived, when a woman scorned from Damon ' s past and present explodes, things start unraveling for Ella.
"Ella Knight knew nothing.
Ella Hunt will know everything.
It's time I avow my sins."
This ending!!!!!!!! The author gets you.....you have to start book 3 no matter how frustrated you are with this story!

This second instalment in the Manipulation Trilogy by Alicia and Natalie lives up to it's title of Warped. It immediately starts from where Corrupted ended and has the added difference of Damon's point of view to some chapters also. His insight and viewpoint on events and what he actually sees and thinks is an additional benefit I loved.
Ella's journey in this book is an emotional one, she realises many things she was lead to believe were corrupted, how she's dealt with her past and grief 'Warped' her behaviour and outlook and she has a difficult time once she realises this as " the past can never be washed away forever." She has Tom as a constant to help her through as her and Damon's relationship has many factors to contend with, past secrets, exes and one constant Leona. They both are scared of their feelings for each other and once Ella sees the truth, she fears all that she wants maybe lost.
Damon has many demons he's trying to keep Ella from, many of which we're still kept in the dark about, but his pov made me feel so much more of a connection to him this time, his realisation of Leona's intentions was a great moment, but I fear that malicious character won't leave quietly!!
Damon has two women as a constant in his life, both with agendas and means of manipulation to get their own way. One is determined and 'warped' on getting her own way and the other just wants to be loved and chosen first for once. Who will Damon choose to have on his life forever??

I really wanted to like this. But it didn't work for me. At all. The storyline as a whole had me very intrigued but the female MC disappointed me. The prologue was great. I was instantly interested and wanted to read on but then it personally didn't hold my attention after that.
Ella wants revenge for her sister and tries to seduce the guy that was responsible for her sister's death. She kept going on about how she would destroy him and then as soon as she sees him or well interacts it's like there's attraction straight away and it wasn't built up. it happened so instantly and then all of a sudden her heads too messed up to carry out her revenge. It didn't feel believable in other words.
And her sister's diary entry... they made her seem a little crazy, obsessive and like one of those girlfriend that get way to clingy and in over their heads. It was a bit worrying. Her sister's love for Damon just felt more like a creepy obsession than love.
The story personally didn't work for me, it might work for others. But I felt a real disconnection with the characters and their actions.

***I was gifted a copy by the authors***
Warped is book 2 in The Manipulation Trilogy. It picks up exactly where the cliffhanger left us.
"All this man does is cause hurt and heartbreak. He is like a tornado destroying anything and anyone who gets in his way.
I will not let him destroy me. That was never the plan."
Ella has fallen in love with Damon and she is fighting am inner war with herself. She is struggling to reconcile the truth as written by her sister and Damons actions with Leona to the way her heart feels.
This novel also has chapters written from Damon's pov which gives us a greater insight into his character.
"She'll know what a monster I am."
Damon is fighting his own demons and is her playing her at her own game? The plot twists and turns and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Leona has a hold on Damon and the reason is always just kept out of reach. The lengths that woman goes to in this installment had me shaking my head and screaming at Damon to see her for what she really is.
Ella has a break through moment and the scene blew me away. Spoiler alert...you will need a whole box of tissues!
"I'm sorry daddy. I've been bad."
"I'll be good, I promise. I'll be who I was, who I am. I went down the wrong path but I'm correcting it now. I want happiness again. please daddy, help me"
We drive into a world of fractured minds and explore the truth from different perspectives ..how truth can be warped by others. How obsession can ruin lives and the lengths people go to believing it's love. There are explosive moments and times when you sit back and think wow...I did not see that coming. I could not out this down.
The ending...
"Ella Knight knew nothing.
Ella Hunt will know everything.
It's time I Avow my sins."
Had me shaking my head in frustration...oh no they didn't...not again! I NEEEEDDDD to know...can not wait to read the final chapter in Ella's and Damon's story of self discovery and her journey through grief.
Amazing five star read.

This is the second book in The Manipulation Trilogy and what a fantastic story this is. I find it amazing that an author can sit down and write a story that blows your mind. For two authors to come together to put a brilliant book together is fantastic. This book flowed together so well. It really is a story I had to read in one sitting. These characters would not let me put my kindle down.
As much as I loved book one I loved this even more. The storyline is gripping. Love Damon and Ella. I so wanted to jump into my kindle and slap Leona a few times. I really didn't know how it was gonna pan out. This book doesn't end in a throw the kindle kinda cliffhanger however it does leave me hoping we don't have to wait too long for the conclusion.
Well done Natalie and Alicia on a brilliant story. I'm so looking forward to reading more from you.

There’s a lot of going on for this second book, such a roller coaster of emotions.The push and pull really tiring to read at some point and some scenes is cliche but it’s not that bad.I hate that I felt the heroine slowly turn to look pathetic with her hot and cold towards our hero.Not to forget the Hero fucked up in this book as well and I think he need more grovel to earn heroine trust.Overall this still an enjoyable read and I need to start with third book.

6-star review hands down. This book will totally rock your world and tilt it on its axis. Alicia and Natalie weave a suspenseful tale that will have your heart racing and your knuckles white from gripping your ereader. I could not put it down for even one second.
Just when Ella thought all was right in the world her entire universe was turned upside down. She and Damon had an argument which is something couples do, but to come home and find him lip locked with Leona made her world as she knew it come to a screeching halt. Ella knew she had to get her head back into the game. There was no happy ending for her. She is on a mission and it is time to take Damon down. There is only one problem here. She loves him and no matter how much she tries to deny it, she can't.
Damon right away is remorseful for the kiss. He knew he screwed up and will do anything to win Ella's heart back. When Ella lets him in on a secret she has been hiding ne he is furious. He wants to hate her and believe that she used him, but it does not take too long for Damon to figure out that she was an innocent.
This series is really quite magnificent. Alicia and Natalie are two of the kindest and sweet bloggers that I have the privilege to know. I would have never thought the two of them had this story hidden deep inside of their brilliant minds. This series will grip you from the very first chapter of Corrupted to the very last chapter of Warped. I am on the edge of my seat as I wait for Avowed. So many secrets are revealed in Warped and at the very end of this read your mind will be completely blown away. You will be telling yourself "no way". When people ask what they should read this series is the first thing off the tip of my tongue. This is a story that will stay with you. The hero is also the villain and that will mess with your head a bit. I love it. It is so refreshing to find such a unique storyline.
Let’s talk about heat. This read gets 5 scorching hot flames. Damon knows what he wants and Ella gives it to him. Their chemistry is off the charts hot!!! This is certifiable panty melting read.
If you want to read something that is unique that will have you questioning what is going to happen next, and when it does you tell yourself no way that just happened, then you must one-click Corrupted and Warped. Bravo ladies on a job well done. I need Avowed now.

Holy Shit! That ending…I need book 3 like yesterday! Warped is the second book in the Manipulation Trilogy. It picks up right where book 1, Corrupted, left off. Ella can’t even look at Damon after what he and Leona did to her. Ella can’t believe that she let herself fall for him after everything he did to her sister. She has to get her head back in the game and beat him once and for all. “I let tears fill my eyes. This is what I’m good at. This is what I can do. Break him by being broken.”
In this book we continue to see Ella and Damon fight their inner demons. Neither one of them thinks that they are good enough for the other. When Ella finally lets people in, she realizes this: “I just want to be loved. I just want to be picked first for once.” She feels like she has never come first for anybody in her life and feels all alone. As the story progresses, we watch as they both battle with how to love, how to be loved and how to tell their secrets. Ella learns a lot about her sister that she never knew as well.
This volume included chapters in Damon’s POV and I absolutely loved them! We got to see how he feels for Ella, his beauty, not just how she thinks he feels about her. “We need each other. You’re the beauty to my beast. You take away the monster in me.”
We get to see a lot more of the secondary characters in this book as well. I adore Spence and the kitchen scene is hilarious! And Tom, I love Tom! He is Ella’s one true friend and her only family and has proven time and again he has Ella’s back. I was so happy for him to find his one. But don’t get me started on Leona. I wanted to throat punch that bitch so bad!!!
I enjoyed this book! It had me laughing, crying, in suspense, and ready to throw my ereader across the room. I can’t wait for the conclusion of Ella and Damon’s story and to find out what secrets will be revealed!! (4.5 stars)

I've been so excited to read this second book in this fabulous series of Manipulation. These ladies have written more twists and turns to this story, I just don't know what is going to happen next, Leona is a mean character, she is the ultimate bitch, this is the worst I've ever hated a character from a book and that is down to the brilliant character interpretation of the writers. At first I felt sorry for Damon because Ella was playing a game, wanting revenge for her sister. I knew Damon was falling in love with her, but then I changed my mind while reading the story I started to dislike Damon and feel sorry for Ella, honestly I was all over the place, I'm so involved in reading this trilogy I need book three, yesterday!, Tom that's Ella's best friend is a lovely guy, it's a shame she can't love him cause I think he secretly loves her, always there for her without question. Spencer that's Damon's brother is another sweet character he seems a lot like Damon, power and sexy, he has a great sense of humour, Damon seems to growl a lot when Spencer is near Ella, you can tell Spencer loves Damon, he wants his brother to be happy.
So many questions running through my head while reading, Will they get married?, Does Damon really love Ella? Does Ella love Damon? you will all have to read it to find out. The one thing I'm desperate to know is who will spill the beans on their past first, although I do know Ella's history, I'm yet to find out about Damon's, he's so sweet to Ella but yet he says he's a monster, What did he do? god I really hope there is a happy ending, where Ella & Damon live happily ever after and Leona bitch face is dead and buried. Yep this was definitely an exciting and gripping read.
Well done Author Natalie Townson & Author Alicia Taylor on a fantastic second instalment, you have me hooked.

Holy hell of a cliffhanger,I need and I mean need book three right now!
Warped is book two in the Manipulation Trilogy and it starts off exactly where Corrupted ended. Unlike book one this one is told in dual POVs between Ella and Damon.
Damon has corrupted Ella, making her fall in love with the one person she is supposed to hate. Ella must not lose her focus again, this time she will make Damon pay but just as the first book things don't always go as planned.
Ella is hit with a titlewave of emotions in this book. She has so much going on and doesn't know what she is going to do. She learns that things with her sister may have not been the way she thought. As Damon and Ella fight for their relationship both must figure out how to reveal their own secrets knowing it could possibly destroy everything.
Leona, hate hate hate that bitch. I don't find many characters that I despise this much but she now sits at the top of that list. She is always out to ruin Damon and Ella's relationship and it seriously pisses me off. You know in movies when you secretly hope that the evil villain will get killed off, well that's how I feel about Leona.
This is one hell of a series so far and I have no doubt in my mind that the third book will kick just as much ass. I will tell you how much I love this series, I read both books in one day. Yes I said that, one day. I couldn't get enough of Ella and Damon. They have their extremely hot moments and then it goes to a whole lot of drama that will keep you on the edge. I really loved getting pieces of Damon's mind in this one and it made me love him even more. If you love hot Alpha males, suspense, romance, and drama this is a MUST read.

In Corrupted we find out how Ella has suffered with the loss of her father and her sister, Lydia’s death from suicide. Ella sets her sights on destroying one man, Damon Hunt, she blames him for her sisters death and so begins this twisted tale of revenge.
“They played the first round and won. Now it’s time for me to even the score” Ella, Warped
Ella is in a battle with her feelings, she is supposed to hate Damon but her desire and yes love is growing for him. She is finding it more difficult that the man her sister describes in her diary,as a uncaring monster, is the same Damon Hunt that is now consuming her.
With Warped we now get Damon’s point of view, I loved this. There are secrets that he is keeping from Ella, because he’s in love with her and is desperate to keep her. His point of view leaves no doubt about his true feelings for her, which makes this book even more thrilling, your trying with every chapter to put the puzzle pieces together.
When it’s finally revealed in this book what really happened with Lydia & Damon, Ella’s sister your shocked and it completely changes everything. Leona has also returned in this story, if you hated her in the first one like I did, you’ll want to ring her neck in this one.
Warped is a book I couldn’t just put in one romance genera category, it’s erotic, thrilling, and a mystery. Damon & Ella’s passion lights up the pages. The other characters also play a big role in this book, some you love others you’ll hate and when you get to the end it’s another shocker. Great series so far, I’m excited and can’t wait to read the next one.

This book immediately picks up where Corrupted finished. Ella's plans for revenge have not exactly gone to plan and she is left to fight an inner battle with herself over what to do next.
I felt I got to know Ella more as the story went on and, as in the first book, I don't always agree with her choices, but I do understand where she is coming from and can sympathise with her. Hers is an emotional journey. She is a great character with lots of depth.
I loved that we got to read some of Damon's PoV in this book. His character frustrated me a little because I couldn't get a complete grasp on him and this added a whole new fascinating side to the story and helped me to understand him a lot better.
The supporting characters were great and I even like Leona's character. Now don't get me wrong. I don't actually like her but I admire a character that is written well enough to inspire such dislike in readers. To me she is a perfect antagonist which helps create a truly well rounded story.
The writing is great, as it was in the first book. The story flows well and had me hooked from the first page to the last when I actually threw a bit of a hissy fit. Really?! How could you leave it there?
Seriously though, I super enjoyed this book and can't wait for the conclusion to this great trilogy. These two authors have done a brilliant job here and I look forward to reading more of their work in the furture. I give this book a great big 5 stars and definitely recommend it to all. Keep up the good work ladies and don't make me wait to long for the next one. Pretty please? lol.

Alicia Taylor and Natalie Townson have delivered yet again with the release of Warped, the second book in the Manipulation Trilogy. Warped picks up right where the cliffhanger in the first book Corrupted ended. Ella has fallen for Damon and Damon has seemingly fallen for Ella, but it appears the old ways of Damon that Ella's sister Lydia wrote about in her diary are coming back to haunt her. She decides to focus on her mission and get back to work on destroying Damon, but things are not as easy as she thought they would be. Her feelings for Damon are not easily forgotten and a circumstance Ella didn't think was possible changes everything.
What made this book standout more than the first for me was getting more insight into Damon. What is he hiding and what is it that keeps him tethered to Leona? Seriously, Leona may go down as one of the best book villains for her crazy antics. Taylor and Townson weave together a story full of great twists and a few shocking moments that will leave you shouting out as you read it. The ending again, left me wanting the final book in my hands that second. These women know how to leave you with a cliffhanger.
The Manipulation Trilogy is a series that needs to be on your TBR. In fact, after you read this just go to your favorite retailer and buy this book. Warped is a fantastic read that you're not going to forgot. You're going to fall for Ella and Damon's story as it continues in this second book. You're also going to love the supporting characters that were introduced in the first book. They help round out the story and make it even better. I can't recommend this book and series enough. You will not be disappointed.

I enjoyed book 2 more than book 1. This book delved into Ella and Damon's relationship and took the story past the original dilemma. Now the stakes are higher, and both could end up with more than just broken hearts.
As Ella's relationship with Damon evolves, I got more invested with her feelings, though the twist in the story was not unexpected to me. Will Damon still love her if he knows what she has done? I'm still wondering what really happened between her sister and Damon. Is she betraying her sister with this revenge gone awry?
It's Ella confusion, vulnerability, and insecurity that has me hoping that she'll get her happy ending. But she has dug a deep hole. She's not a good person nor is Damon. I like that they both are flawed. And as the story continues, they both have secrets to reveal.
Leona plays a bigger part in this story, and she is obsessed with Damon. How far will she go with that obsession? Will Damon realize it in time? All of these were questions that I had as I was reading this, getting more absorbed with the possibilities of where these two authors would take it.
It's not the typical story as I find that there was more to both Ella and Damon. They are not two-dimensional characters. I like that both POVs are included. Seeing it from both sides adds depth to the story. Yet, I really don't know what Damon's secret is, or why Leona is still in his life when her behavior is deplorable. And is there more to Ella's story than has been revealed so far?
I have SO many questions that need answering. I am ready for book 3. I have a feeling that some shocking revelations will be revealed.
Erotic scenes, and a cliffhanger ending...

If it’s even possible, I enjoyed this book more than Corrupted! I can’t rate it any higher than 5* although I thought it stepped up a gear from Corrupted. Part of that reason I think are the chapters from Damon’s POV. There’s something about a male POV that improves a book ;-) It also gave me an insight as to what was going through his mind. Is he playing the player? Or is he genuine?
What on earth is going on between Damon and Leona? She needs a huge throat punch! What a bitch. It’s great to read a true bitch who is totally focussed on throwing as many spanners in the works as she can. She’s out for her own gains and doesn’t care how she gets there. What exactly has she got on Damon??
Ella, oh poor sweet Ella. You have to feel for her. So conflicted about everything she believed. She finds out that maybe she didn’t know her sister as well as she thought she did and what with her blossoming relationship with Damon, she really is at odds with herself.
Tom is a great best friend to Ella. He really has her back and it’s good to know she has someone she can truly trust, who is only interested in what’s best for Ella.
These two authors must have a load of fun writing this trilogy. They have excelled at writing a great villain. They have mastered the art of creating conflict. They write a good steamy scene. They write great angst softened by great comedic moments. They have succeeded in drawing me into their book and feeling the highs and lows of all the characters. Simply put….I can’t fucking wait for book 3 when everything will be resolved and someone should get what they deserve and some should get their HEA.

I was given a copy if this book for an honest review. Warped is 2 in the Manipulation Trilogy. Warped book 2 picked up right where Corrupted left off. Ella and Damon have gotten closer and the game is getting to be really intense. Now the question is is this still a game or are the feelings being felt real or fake. As Ella tries to sort all her feelings out the real story continues to get complicated. Now Ella has another player to the game Leona. As Ella tries to figure out who is who and what is real she continues to struggle playing the game. The story continues to keep this reader interested. There were a few times I felt like something was nagging me about the story but even though I had that feeling I still enjoyed the story and am looking forward to the last installment. I give this books 4 stars.

Wow!!! What a fantastic read and I want more.
The story continues from where Corrupted left off. Ella's plan for revenging her sister is back on or isn't it. Ella loves Damon so deeply, but her mind and heart won't work together.
The reader gets to know Damon's POV in this book, but his secrets aren't revealed to Ella or the reader yet. He is in as much conflict as Ella and is afraid that he will lose her if his secret is revealed.
As more pieces of the past fall together on what occurred between Ella's sister and Damon, everything starts looking up for Ella.
Then you have Leona, who is a pain in the butt, she is a true manipulator and will stop at nothing to get Damon away from Ella.
The antics she pulls makes you want to tell her off.
I laughed, cried and yelled during this book as you are taken on an emotional journey with Ella and Damon.
This book is filled with passion, suspense and twists and turns. An awesome series and I can't wait until the next book comes out. Alicia Taylor and Natalie Townson did a superb job in writing this trilogy and I would recommend this series to everyone.

What can I say...this second book was just as AMAZING as the first!! Alicia and Natalie are top notch and their books just keep getting better and better!
Ella is still conflicted with how what she is going to do with Damon. Does she keep, continue her plan, or walk away from everything she has been trying to achieve. The problem is, life has thrown in a wrench that makes her decision even harder. Damon is fighting hard to keep Ella. He knows he lost her trust but he wants to prove that he loves her with all he is and wants to keep her forever. There is one person in his life that feels otherwise. Will that person tear them apart or make them stronger? Will Ella do what she planned from the beginning or will love change it all?
This book had me tripping from the beginning! I couldn't wait to jump into it and I was NOT disappointed! I love Damon and Ella!! Damon is the knock your socks off, alpha male that everyone woman yearns for!! This book will keep you guessing as to what's going to happen next and Ella will make you forever guess as to what she needs/wants to do. One click it!!!

WOW I really don’t know where to begin besides saying this is a MUST read so if you haven’t read book 1 grab them both. But only start reading when you have hours and hours to read because I promise you once you start you will not stop.
Book 2 picked up right where book 1 left off, with an extreme emotional roller coaster, anyone who knows me knows there aren’t many books that make me cry but Warped had me grabbing tissues to wipe the tears away. My heart was just so confused for Ella.
Ella’s sole reason for getting involved with Damon to even the playing field, because she believes he did her sister wrong, but what she ends up with is one of the biggest surprise of the book. She is on strong woman and I wouldn’t want to be on her bad side however she is also so lost, confused and broken. How much can she put herself through before she can’t remember who she really is?
Damon I still don’t understand or get, while we learn some more about his inner thoughts and works there isn’t enough to what making him do the things he is doing.
This book is worth well written and worth every penny and minute it takes to read it.

Blimey! Warped picked up exactly where Corrupted left off and off we went on another rollercoaster ride and that ending! Ye Gads!!!!! Avowed cannot come soon enough!
This trilogy is indeed very well written, I know I am probably more invested because it’s British but actually that’s not true. Whatever country this was written in I’d be hooked.
The characters have been depicted very well; I can feel Ella’s loss of family is her cross to bear and her need to be loved. She has had her own epiphanies during Warped and we see more of a side of ‘her’ now, not the person hell bent on retribution.
Damon….. Oh boy I wanted to sic it to him a couple of times. That bloody Leona needs a bullet between the eyes for sure, manipulative woman that she is. And that Simon! Say no more…
This trilogy has all the mix of what a good trilogy needs, suspense, cliff-hangers, love, hate, revelations and secrecy; everything that gives you that need to read on and find out more.
I am very much looking forward to Avowed and January cannot come soon enough.
I received a copy of Warped in return for an honest review. My reviews are my own and are 100% honest.

Warped
Alicia Taylor and Natalie Townson
Angst, heartbreaking moments, revenge, lies and did I say heartbreak?
Book 2 of the trilogy and I have to say even better than book 1. I enjoyed Damon's POV, it made the story more balanced and changed my point of view, from this I began to see that he is not what he is made out to be. I thought I was done with Damon and wanted Ella to walk away, needless to say I changed my mind.
Ella is a hormonal mess in this book, loathing one minute and loving the next, she is clearly falling for Damon and this is conflicting her emotions with her sisters death. Ella is fighting her emotions throughout this book and I felt frustrated and sorry for her.
The authors have done a fantastic job in creating these characters, Leona is a wicked and deranged but added a thrilling element to the story.
Warped is an emotional read in parts and I did shed a tear or two. I couldn't stop reading this book and the lack of sleep was worth it, the book had a great ending with more suspense that will have you itching for the next book, I cannot wait to find out more.

Warped picks up where book 1 left off, and its all go! For much of the book the two character are back and fourth with there personal frustrations of love. Their are times I want to slap Ella and kick Damon, In this book we find out its not just Ella with a secret history but Damon also has an end game which has us reeling!!!!
Leona is a bigger bitch if that's even possible the Authors have the crazy Ex down pat. The lengths this woman goes to are staggering and I love that Ella finally takes a stand and gives this witch a piece of her mind.
I enjoyed the extra characters we got to see more of, Tom, Lacy, Sofia, Wes and of course the amazing Spence. Ella comes from a place of loneliness so its heart warming she finally has friends she can trust.
This book made me mad, had me laugh and then shed a tear! Let me tell you the last page of this book is spectacular I lost my breathe OMG I need to know what's going to happen! Bring on book 3..

Review done for Hooked on Books
5 out of 5 stars
Wow is what I just read. Alicia Taylor and Natalie Townson did not disappoint with book 2 in the Corrupted series.
I loved the dual POV’s in this book. It gave us a much better insight in to what Damon is really like.
Ella has succeeded in her attempt to make Damon fall in love with her. Unfortunately she fell in love with him too.
Damon loves Ella and will do everything he can to keep her. He is determined to not let his past ruin everything.
Their relationship is very tumultuous. One step forward and two steps back seems to be their rhythm.
I really fell for Damon in this book. He really is loving and caring. He just needs to see some of his friends for what they really are.
Ella is finally finding her way and is starting to believe that she deserves to be happy. She doesn’t need to be alone any more.
I loved all the twist and turns in this story. I can’t wait to see what happens to this couple in book 3.

Ella hates him, but she also loves him. She doesn't know what to do. He's always put Leona first, but tells her he loves her in the same breath. He asked her to marry him and she said yes. But every time Leona calls he goes. She can't do it this anymore. So she leaves. It's killing her but she has to do what's best for her.
Damon loves her and he's dying inside that she left him. He can't take not having her with him. When her friend called him to tell him where where they're going to be he rushes off to see her to try to fix things. When he finally thinks that he has her back things blow up again when secrets come out.
As things finally start to work out, Leona butts in again and threatens everything. Will she destroy the happiness the worked so hard to get to, or will they never get their happy ending?
This book is the second book in the series and it was just as good as the last one and I can't wait to find out what happens next. This series is a must read.

This book is going to gut you. I was so taken by this one. How much can you make me cry during a book! I'm not one that cries easy, any more either. It was so emotionally charged that you just can't put this one down. I knew this one was going to be running high pulling out all the stops but never did I expect this much from this book. I will recommend that if you haven't read the first book or if it’s been awhile that you will want to read it or just freshen up on a few of the last chapters.
Ella goes in this relationship to hurt the one that she thought did her sister wrong and comes out with a very big surprise. She is strong but very broken. How much can one person take before the lose them self.
Damon is a mystery still you get a little more of what makes him tick but not enough to know what is holding him back or keeps him making the choices he makes.
I loved this book and I'm looking forward to the next book!!!!

Warped picks up right where Corrupted finished with Ella having exacted her revenge on Damon by making him fall in love with her however, along the way she fell in love with Damon as well.
Damon and Ella have their secrets and we find out what Damon’s secret is in this book and I really was not expecting it at all.
I loved reading from Damon’s POV as well as I love knowing what the man is feeling in certain situations, I think it really adds to the depth of a story.
And Leona, do not get me started on her. Someone really needs to bitch slap her out of the equation. She is one crazy ex and the authors have written her character to perfection.
I will be hanging out for Avowed to find out how their story concludes.
I was given a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review. Reviewed by Tanya.
