Surviving a harsh upbringing, Corinne Treyton’s new life, comes courtesy of the Angels Warriors MC. No one will ever use her body again, unless she wants them to. Cori, a party girl, doesn’t believe in relationships, but she’d be willing to try if only Blake, her boss, could really see her for who she is. She hides her lifestyle from him; afraid he would think less of her.

Blake Lexington has crushed on Cori since the day she started working for him. He knows a bit about her past, living with the Angels Warriors, and he doesn’t care. He refuses to make a move, thinking it will scare off his shy assistant. For years he thought she wouldn’t be attracted to someone like him.


Finally realizing that he needs to take action, her reaction surprises him. Cori believes he sees her as a slut and wants to use her. Secrets from the past will be revealed causing everything to unravel.


Will real love bring them together or is Cori too damaged to give true love a chance?

Cori is no stranger to pain, not growing up the way she did. Now she works with Social Services to help get kids out of situations like the ones she lived through. Her boss, Blake, is the true hero to these kids, and she admires him for that. She also loves him, but from afar, thinking that he's too good for her and that he wouldn't like her if he really knew her secrets. Around him, she's quiet, and wears clothes that aren't form fitting. But really she's an outgoing, partying type of girl. When Blake finally see's the read Cori, he stops hiding his attraction to her and decides it's time to take what he wants. But now Cori isn't so sure she want's to get mixed up in her feelings for him, so he'll just have to convince her.



I enjoyed this book and the characters were okay, but they weren't my favorite. I'm not one that really cares if OW/OM are mentioned in a book as long as it's not cheating, and I definitely don't want to slut shame but I couldn't stand the amount of times it was mentioned that Cori slept around. I mean she apparently just had this whole list of guys she slept with off and on, which is fine, but I didn't like that it was shoved down my throat in most of the beginning. Overall she was just a really annoying character and Blake was the only saving grace in the book.

I liked Blake because he seemed more levelheaded and was just genuinely a nice character. I honestly wish he was involved in the story more than he was, maybe then it would have been a higher rating from me. When I say he was the only character I liked, I mean out of everyone, and there were a lot of other people mentioned. Cori's sister had her own drama going on that was heavily mentioned and I honestly just wanted to slap her.

Bottom line, an okay read but not the best. I could have dealt with a bad heroine, but since the other characters weren't good for me, and some of the story was muddled together, it lowered my rating. I think there was just way too much going on with the story and it made it hard to follow. Blake had his past drama, Cori had hers, secrets were popping up, a friend of Cori's was involved and we learned about her, Cori's sister had a lot going on...it was just way too much.

After being left by their mother and landing in foster care Corinne and her sister Melissa get saved from a horrible home by the Angels Warriors MC. Melissa is finishing school and Cori is working for Blake. She has secretly had a crush on her boss but he treats her like a little sister. Blake has been wanting her for years but she is too shy and sweet for him until … Cori accidentally flirts with him. Now he’s starting to see her sassy side he goes after her. This is where I’ll stop telling the story.

This one was a difficult one to rate because I really loved the idea for this story and I liked both main characters but also lots of side characters. I loved Angel and have already pre-ordered the box set for the “Angels Warriors MC” which is published on February 15th 2016 for a great price!! Also lately I read too many books with insta-love which doesn’t work for me and that’s not the case in this book!

There were also some things that I didn’t really like… There are a few small spoilers in here so don’t read if you don’t want to know!!

- Cori knows Blake has had many women in the past because she had to take care of booking tables and sending flowers. When they first have sex he’s inside her before he mentions a condom.
- There are too many coincidences… Her boss and lover Blake was in the same foster home at the same time as Cori and they don’t remember. Resulting into something else revealed later in the book but I won’t tell here ;) Both Melissa and Corinne don’t know their fathers and it gets revealed later on in the book who they are and again who their fathers are is a too big coincidence…
- Both Cori and Blake go behind each other’s backs to get information knowing they will hurt the other one if he/she finds out
- I also love groveling when someone in a book does something wrong but in this book they forgave too easily but that is my personal opinion ;D

The next book in this series will be Melissa’s story. We already get to read a lot about her and Dray in this book and I do look forward to read their story…

Ok so... picture yourself in front of some train tracks, about to see two trains collide. That is what this book feels like. You know what's coming. You know it's gonna be devastating and that casualties will occur. That it's messy and ugly. Yet you can't look away. Corinne and Blake are two very promiscuous and straight fucked up people who dig each other. In all honesty, you spend a good part of the story shaking your head and quite possibly disliking them as MCs. They have a few redeeming moments but for the most part... You're thinking. W. T. F. Lol The rating is because despite that crap, I was still hooked. There's SO much drama and many twists and you can't help but get sucked in. Kudos to the writer because while I didn't love the MCs, I was still quite entertained.

That epilogue. I MUST know wth is next. The set up for more books was stellar. This author is not scared to make her characters suffer.

UPDATE: ReREAD 2018
===========
The new book is the continuation of the sisters' story and I decided to reread it.
The author creates heroines that are refreshing, they know what they want and do not stay at home expecting the hero if they decide to want them.
She likes sex and is not ashamed of it.
While the hero is fucking half the female population she is not at home crying, no, our heroine is living and fucking a lot and having good sex.
Good sex, people! Hallelujah!
Usually the authors either leave the heroine as celibate or give her very bad sex.
Kudos to the author.
History has drama, sex, action, and we do not have a moment of boredom. All very intense and frantic.
It's one of those stories that I can not put myself in the shoes of the heroine, but I admire her strong personality and everything she's faced in her life.
Our hero has faced and gone through terrible things as well, and the two complete each other perfectly.
The secondary characters are all interesting and I really want Clara's story.
Just to remember, I did not recover from the loss of Hilary. Still pissed me off!

“Yeah, deffo. I only wish I could have met Hilary, too. Sucks the way she passed,” Cori says, sounding a bit sad."

I recommend and I am already reading the new book.

READ 2016:

Eu gosto da autora e achei a história legal e os personagens secundários ótimos. Eu quero ler a história da Clara!!!!!

I nod at Blake as he walks by. Of course, he never notices me, though… at least, not the way I want him to. It sucks. I’ve had a crush on Blake for years now, since I first met him, but he treats me as if I’m his little sister. Nothing like being in the friend-zone.

Whenever Blake asks me to send flowers to the woman of the week, or call up a restaurant to get a reservation, my heart breaks just a little bit more.

The last thing I remember as my temples begin to pound is her going down on her knees in front of me in the men’s room.

Why is it, every stupid ass time I’m drunk, I end up hooking up with that bitch, Stacy.

“Oh, and Cori, when you get back, please make sure you make a reservation for tonight at eight at Tiffany’s. And send flowers to Jodi please.”

I glare at her, and she matches it. “I never realized you were such a slut,” I tell her, seething. Corinne’s face pales. “Fuck you, asshole. You are my boss. This is none of your business,” she retorts, throwing her hands out in anger. “It damn well is my business when you are fucking some dickhead in the bathroom of my company party!”

Why wasn’t I good enough before? Was it just because he couldn’t see what was under my baggy clothes? Or is it the fact that he now knows I’m easy.

“I’m going to help you get the girl because, honestly, watching you fuck your way through all the women in town, and repeatedly with that horrible wench Stacy, is getting on my nerves,” she says, taking a seat at the edge of my desk.

After a shitty day, I usually go to the dive bar downtown and hook up with whomever I can to bang out my issues. Tonight, I chose Cori.

“Yeah, deffo. I only wish I could have met Hilary, too. Sucks the way she passed,” Cori says, sounding a bit sad.

“Yeah, you dumb fuck! Not only did you fuck Melissa, after you’ve been chasing after her for months, you left with another woman a few hours later… And guess what, you dumb fuckstick? She’s fucking pregnant because of your dumbass.”

“I was high. Only reason I remembered doing it was because, the next morning, the bitch I took home told me about the girl running out of the club as I left, crying. Then the memories came back.” He rubs his face. “I’m such a dick.”

“I couldn’t handle their friendship. I might have forgiven them for what they did to me, but I didn’t like them still being as close as they were—cuddling, Adam babysitting so damn often we never had time together, and then I heard Kayden, Sophie’s son, ask Adam to please love his mommy more so he could be his daddy for real. God, my heart broke hearing that. And Adam, he said... Fuck. He said, ‘I wish I could, buddy’.”

“Blake, I’m serious. I’m short, and the tub is slippery. Only bad things will come from this.” “Trust me.”

"My dick!" Blake croaks. I panic, crawling toward him. "I told you this would happen." Tears well up in his eyes, and he stares at me, cupping his precious jewels.

"You broke my dick."  I shake my head. "I told you shower sex was bad. This is your fault for not listening to me."

“Should’ve known. What did he think would happen? You are only four eleven, he’s six two. Good grief,” she says, following me to the bathroom

Incredible story with raw, real characters. The depth of emotions that came through the pages made me feel like I really new them. Definite re-read, and I highly recommend this boo, as well as this author! Way to go, Dawn!

[Julie · Rating 1 out of 5]

This is the first book I've read by Dawn Martens and unfortunately, it will probably be my last. When I was reading the blurb for Twisted Up In You, I was intrigued but also a bit worried because the last couple of MC books I've read ... we just didn't get along. I just started watching Sons of Anarchy a few months back (about time, right?) and absolutely fell in love with it and ever since, I've wanted to find an MC series that I connected with on the same level. I told myself that this book was it ... the last MC book I would read because if this one didn't work out for me either, after all of the others that I've tried, then maybe I'm not an MC reader. I'm okay with that decision but I sure do wish that it had turned out differently.

From the very beginning of Twisted Up In You, it was pretty gritty. In my mind, it played out like a movie that was filmed while someone was just walking around holding the camera on their shoulder ... a bit shaky with lots of raw footage. Not a bad thing, it brought an interesting feel to the book as a whole but the book just wasn't ... enough ... to warrant that kind of edginess. There was just so damn much going on! This could have EASILY been split into two or three separate books. There was an abundance of characters that you're introduced to but then in the end, you feel like you don't really know them. Hell, I couldn't even keep up with all of the characters because there were at least 10 other sub-plots going on that were pretty intricate with their own set of characters that ended up intermingling with the main characters and the secondary characters and then the 54th tier characters. There were just so many. So, so many. Too many, for my reading pleasure.

With the edginess that I talked about also came uninhibited situations within the story. Some of it was straight up shocking for some reason. I've read some raunchy books (don't judge) and there was one scene in this one that really surprised me ... this dude had a chick pushed up against the wall with his digits all up in her lady parts and they were in full view of all of the club goers. Now that I think about it, maybe it wasn't the scene that was shocking but the aloofness that the character had while this was going on, like that kind of thing is normal and maybe it was because this particular female character had been used and abused ten ways to Sunday and just reading it felt like she was being violated again. Hell, who knows at this point.

While there was a shit-ton of things going on, it also felt like the story didn't have enough of a build up to make the story seem settled and established. This is going to sound horrible and I hope that it's taken in the constructive manner that is intended but I think that the story didn't feel established was because it was as if there was an outline done for the story and then other ideas were thrown out there and instead of picking the ones that are best for the story, they were all just added. It watered down the story for me and there was so much promise with the characters, it just made it that much more disappointing.

I enjoyed getting to know the characters within the first few chapters but my interest fell off after that because the main character, Cori seemed so damn immature. It became irritating and just sad. I hope that others have a better experience with this one than I did.

5+++++ stars!!!

Dawn Martens has once again outdone herself with her newest book, Twisted Up in You! If I could rate this book more than 5 stars, I totally would but since I can't, just know this book is well worth the 5 star rating. I was completely captivated from reading the blurb, seeing the cover, from the first page to the very last word. I could not put this book down for anything!

I loved how the Angel Warriors MC was heavily focused on in this book since I was sad when that series ended for us. This read is filled with dark and heavy pasts, lots of secrets, hot passionate sex, and of course, lots of alpha males. I don't want to give any spoilers away so all I'm going to see is that I loved Blake and Cori's connection to one another!! And I hope you love this book just as much as I did!

This could be considered a standalone but the epilogue definitely leaves you guessing about the other characters in the book and what will happen with their stories. It just makes me want to be greedy and demand more, more, more from the author!! I seriously can't wait to read more from this author!

[Philomena Callan Cheekypee · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a standalone but I recommend you read Angels Warriors MC Trilogy from this author. I loved the characters in Angels Warriors MC so I was delighted to read more about them in this story.

I’m not gonna say much about the storyline as I don’t wanna spoil it for anyone. I will say my heart broke for Cori. Blake and Cori didn’t have an easy start and I was really hoping they’d find the happiness they deserved.

A fantastic read with lots of twists and turns that had me glued from start to finish. I’m really looking forward to reading more from this author.

I love D. Martens books. With that being said I liked this one but it had too much going on.

Book was about Blake and Cori having been in Foster care etc.. However it also had Adam and his wife, Blake woman, Angel Warriors, Melissa and Dray, and many others. I understand having others in the book but goodness it was crazy!

***Minor spoilers***

Cori grew up abused through the foster system after her mother gave up her and her sister, Melissa, for no apparent reason. She was at a home where she was locked in and only let out once a day, when her and her sister were finally saved by the Angels Warriors, who got her back on her feet. Fast forward to now, she's a party girl, and loves to have fun. She's been crushing on her boss for a while, and little does she know, he's been crushing on her too. Cori shows an innocent, shy side of herself while at work, so her boss, Blake, has been hesitant to make a move. Once he finds out the party girl she really is, he thinks it to be his cue to make a move. What he doesn't realize right away, however, is that it seems he's only making a move because now he thinks she's easy.

This book angered me a lot, for plenty different reasons. It had its good stuff, but it had some stuff that annoyed me to no end. First of all, Blake is a possessive hypocrite. As soon as he learns she has a crush on him too, he acts insanely possessive right off the bat, already calling her his to her face, and mouthing off other men she's with. Blake has a new f buddy all the time, and he has the nerve to in one scene say "I didn't know you were such a slut." Um, what? He also gets mad when she goes behind his back to do something, even though he does the same thing all the time. Hypocrite alert.

The going behind each other's backs bothered me a lot. Instead of talking about difficult topics to each other, they always got the info from someone else, usually against the other person's wishes. Blake pries into her life from while she was in foster care before she's ever ready to tell him. Cori goes behind Blake's back to do something he explicitly asked her not to. I don't really understand how there is any trust in this relationship, because they're always doing something the other person doesn't want.

Also, I don't really understand how this is love. I guess I just don't see what they like about each other besides the sex they have. Some other things that bothered me were some confusing parts, and what some characters say. First of all, we were in a scene where we were introduced to at least 10 people at once, and I didn't retain any of their names, nor did I know what was going on. Secondly, some of the things the characters say just make me cringe. There is a part where someone hears something exciting to which they reply "Woot! Awesome." I just stared at that one for a while.

Overall, I wasn't too happy with this book. While it had some good things, it was quite predictable and the relationship seemed very unhealthy. I couldn't see why the main couple loved each other. Also, we have some stuff thrown at us in the epilogue that barely made any sense, and just left me confused. I wouldn't really recommend this book to you if you're looking for a good romance.

Twisted Up In You is the first book I've read by Dawn Martens. To be honest, I was hesitant when I requested the ARC, not for any particular reason either, I just wasn't completely positive of how the book would go from the blurb. I'm happy to state, that I'm glad I did request this book! I have a feeling I'll be reading more of Ms. Martens works in the future.

Weirdly enough, I've seen reviews all over the board for this book. For me, it was a four star book, but that's because I went into it with no overt expectations. Some people seem to think this is an MC book. (Motorcycle Club) It is not. While it does touch upon the Angel's Club, and they are part of this book, it is not about them, or anyone specifically -in- the club.

This book focuses on Cori and Blake, their attraction to each other, their relationship... both working and non-working, and yes, you do get a good bit of their past. These characters are extremely well written, they do have depth. You get a good feel for them. There is a whole background plot behind their relationship that is intriguing as well. The chemistry between these two is great too, you can feel it.

There was only one thing that kept me from making this a five star review. It had to do with the plot, which I'm not going to spoil it for anyone, so no hints here. Basically, there is a part in it, that I saw coming from probably 25% into the book. Now, if I hadn't seen it coming, this would have been a major, jaw-dropping bombshell. Some people won't see it coming and it will add to the enjoyment of the book for them.

I would most certainly recommend reading this one. Just don't go into it with MC expectations. Focus on the story between the main characters and if you're like me, you'll love the plot!

A Dawn Martens book:


Awesome Awesome Awesome Story

I become a fan of Dawn Martens with her Renegade Sons MC Series, and loved it, I was hooked.
This story was no different, from the beginning it got my attention.
I loved Cori's feisty attitude and the bond she had with her sister was just so amazing!
Blake was Total Badass alpha male. And when he found out that Cori had feelings for him he just claimed her right there and then. But what I loved was that Cori wasn't just a walkover she was a women in her own right and gave as good as she got.
The chemistry between these two was HOT off the charts and the Sex was Amazing!



Lots of twists and turns will definitely keep you guessing
And we got to get a peak at the Warrior Angels, which was Awesome!

I cannot wait to read Melissa's story, it is going to be EPIC!!!
Definitely Recommending this book to everyone!

There is no secret that I love this author, she know how to write her alpha males, sexy and hot scenes and a whole lot of drama!!! I have been waiting to read Twist Up in You since I started to see the first teasers from this book. Corrine and Blake suffered the unimaginable when they were younger and they still fight those demons years later. I loved both Corrine and Blake both complex characters, with their very own story to tell, stories that brought tears to my eyes. I love this author because she writes about tough matters, but what is life if not tough. I got lost in this story, I did not want it to end. Corrine and Blake have a connection that is felt in every page, and their story is not an easy one but one that is worth every tear, laugh and yell I had. I cant wait to see more from this series!! AND BLAKE AND CORRINE TOGETHER - HAWT like JJBO HOT (JODIE JOSIE BOOK ORGASM HOT)

Well to begin with I need to start by saying I hate sluts and manwhores.... and when I read the first few chapters I hated both the hero and heroine....

There is a lot of stories going on...a lot of characters and members to keep straight, I finally had t make a list...but once I sorted all the people with whom they belonged too and what their reason was in the story I did better.

I did finally warm to the leads who had more dram and trauma between them that you could ever imagine. I will say I am most interested in Clara and Adams story as well as Melissa and Dray.....

Lot of story... lots of characters....good strong solid story..look forward too more...thank you netgalley and dawn!

God, this story was one fucked up story but I loved it still. Blake and Cori managed to make the story extra special but the amount of drama in it. Unbelievable. No one can have that much of shit going on in their lives. How can everyone be related to everyone???? Other than stupid revelations I perfectly loved the story. Also another point I got was why did Cori act shy around Blake at first? Did she not know he was not that type?

One sad thing, I really really want to read Clara’s and Adam’s story and hope they get a happily ever after. Can anyone tell me if there is a story for those two?

[Angie]

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley from the author. A lot of other reviewers mentioned they were confused by all of the people and threads going on beyond the main characters. It mostly made sense to me because I've read the books 1-3.5 of this world, Angels Warriors UnLove Me - The Angels Warriors MC Complete Trilogy Box Set. It might help to read those to get the bare facts about what the MC does with helping abused children. I re-read my review for those and remembered each gave me a huge case of the feels, but on the other hand it was difficult to read them because they hit a lot of my triggers (ow, abuse, etc.). What I did like about the books was the writing and it kept me glued to the story and characters.

Unfortunately, this one didn't capture me the same. The beginning was clicking along, then we see Corinne's true side (not the prim/proper she puts on for work) and Blake's character outside of work. They both became unexpectedly raw and it took me off guard from the opening pages. Unlike the first books, the words didn't flow for me or keep me in the story. These characters and their actions had a much more base and sexually free way about them that I couldn't connect with. I skimmed a bit to the end and it looks like there were some very interesting and clever twists to the storyline to keep you on your toes. I'll keep my eye out for the author's next book, but unfortunately this was a DNF for me and I can't give it a rating with stars. (thank you though for the opportunity!)

Paige's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews

I'm not sure where to begin with this review. I like the author and the premise of Twisted up to you sounded interesting and but I think this book and the characters in it, got away from the author.

There was TOO much going on between this couple and all the characters in the book for it to be an enjoyable cohesive story. Both main characters are foster kids, have ties to a MC's , have the same friends, have frequent one night stands and work together. They even live in the same building for years yet never knew .

I also had issue with the lack of morals that the characters had in the story. I say kudos to a healthy and active sex life but the amount of cheating and changing sexual partners had my head spinning. In this story there was at least 4 married men who routinely cheated on their wife's and families.

There may be issues with the foster system in today's society but were an after thought with all the shenanigans that took place in the book.

(Received ARC from Netgalley in exchange for our honest review.)

Corinne ""Cori"" Treyton along with her sister Melissa was abandoned by their mother when they were young. Being put into the system, Cori lived a nightmare in a foster home. The Angel Warriors MC rescued Cori and Melissa from this tragedy. Cori got a job working with a company that helps rescued children from the same circumstances.

Cori's boss, Blake Lexington, has always had feelings for Cori. Blake never let on his feelings. Melissa accidentally spilled the beans about Cori's feelings towards Blake.

Blake and Cori have a dynamite relationship. Their life has been twisted together. Blake and Cori are a wonderful couple who learns how to work issues together.

This story has many issues within. I love the characters in this story. This is going to be a phenomenal series that I can't wait to continue! More please! Now!!

Reviewer's Note: Vibrator Worthy!! Ready for next installment!

I'm a huge Dawn Martens fan (even after she killed one of my favorite characters) and I have read every single book that's out on amazon. But this one is probably one of my favorites.

first of all, I personally love stories that have a lot of dialogue between characters. When a book has 3-4 pages of inner monologue things get a little dull.
dialogue>inner monologue= very happy me.

anyways. I loved the story specially since there were parts of it that reminded me of my own childhood, and it felt like I was part of the story.
I also loved all the glimpses we got from what the other characters were going through and I hope all of them get their own books. and that epilogue, HO-LY SHIT!
it's safe to say that I'll be pre ordering the next book as soon as it available on amazon!!!!

Definitely New Adult

I struggled with this one quite a lot. It's a New Adult, so it has a lot of profanity and promiscuity. I'm a fairly open-minded person, but this one is over the top for me.

Of course, I'm sure women between 18 and 25 would thoroughly enjoy this book. If you can get past the issues I mentioned above, then there is a decent story. Happy reading!

2.5/5.0

“Twisted Up in You” is gritty and intense from start to finish!

Cori has had a crush on her Blake since she started working for him. What she doesn't know is that he feels the same way as her. He is afraid to make his move on her because he sees her as a shy and timid young lady. Is he in for a surprise when she lets her true self out at the office party. Now Blake is all over her and is putting his stamp on her.
I liked how Blake finally let her know how he felt and got all alpha on her.
There was one part that irritated me and that was when Blake stormed off to Dray's house to knock some sense into him. I didn't get why when he got there and another woman was there, drugs were everywhere, he admitted to sleeping with Michelle because he was to high, and yet Blake just told him to get his act together instead of knocking him into next week. He should have laid his ass OUT!
Love getting a glimpse of all of the Angel Warrior's and their spouses. Can't wait to see what is in store for the other characters. Looks like Michelle's story is going to be pretty interesting. Can't wait to read it.
