Twisted Metal

by Savannah Rylan

I should be terrified of them—but I’ve never felt safer...

When I begged the Twisted Metal MC to take me in exchange for my father’s freedom, I never thought I’d be anything more than a trade to them. A transaction.

I was wrong.

On the surface, my three captors are nothing alike.

Trooper , who disarms me with a smile and helps me laugh away my fears. Dutch , whose cocky mask can’t hide his sweet soul. And Ranger , who frustrates me so much I can’t decide whether to kiss or kill him.

I’m more than a bargaining chip to them—and every day I spend with them proves it. But when my past catches up to me, everything threatens to come crashing down around me.

I don’t know how I’ll get out of this mess, but I do know one thing. No one is ever going to control me again.

My guys will stop at nothing to make sure of it.

This is a brilliant start to a new series and I really found it a pleasure to read this truly fascinating MC reverse harem romance. The storyline is very intriguing and has extremely good world building with excellent scene descriptions. The characters are well-developed with very unique, individual personalities & this causes them to react to the various situations in different ways. In particularly, I liked how the characters continue to develop throughout the plot to ultimately complement each other very well.
It is about: a young woman (Naomi Ryland) desperate to save her sick father promptly offers herself to the three men (Ranger, Dutch & Trooper) in exchange for her father’s life but things don’t go exactly according to their plans when the attractions begin to flare.
There is: law enforcement, MC riders, mafia, twists & turns, danger, threats, violence, intrigue, drama, suspense, action, secrets, deceit, betrayal, complications, ultimatums, defiance, verbal conflict, compromises, some steamy scenes, happiness, love, contentment & a well-deserved, satisfying conclusion. I really enjoyed reading this MC reverse harem romance & would recommend it to people who like to read this genre.

This is the 1st story in the Twisted Intentions Series and what an adventure it will be… Naomi is a nurse while being engaged to her high school sweetheart Gordon who’s is a local policeman. Gordon is not nice to Naomi and she starts doubting her choices in life. One day her life is turned upside down being kidnapped by 3 men, Ranger, Dutch and Tropper from a local MC in exchange for her father’s safety. Naomi is put into one crazy situation after another and slowly she discovers who the guys are, what they do and what they want with her. When the guys discover the trouble Gordon is in they know they can’t let Naomi go back to him and they will do what is necessary to protect her. Naomi is attracted and genuinely feels safe around each guy for the first time in her life. The relationships that develop with each one is explosive and something to hold onto no matter what comes at them! This story will have lies, greediness, secrets that will break Naomi’s heart, pure dominance with love at heart, darkness and intense situations not knowing the outcome. Please read the warnings should you have sensitivity to the matter in this story. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

Twisted Metal is the beginning of what's proving to be a great new adventure. This is Naomi, Ranger, Dutch and Troopers story.
Naomi lands herself in quite a mess when her Dad ventures into a deal and causes it to fall through. Of course the guys don't take it too kindly so someone has to pay and Naomi offers herself up instead of letting them take her Dad. This author has brought us a story full of excitement, chaos and mayhem as it unravels and finds Naomi's boyfriend in a rather sticky situation. Surprises and secrets are all around in this fantastic beginning to the Twisted Intensions series.

Naomi gives up herself for father when he gets in trouble with Troop, Dutch and Ranger. She will put up a fight while holding out for her fiancé Gordon to find her. But the more her and the guys spend together, the more they fall for each other. Then they learn of Gordon’s secrets and Naomi realizes her life changes forever. As they go through this journey, they will be hit with many twists. But they won’t let anything stop them from falling for each other or protect each other.

[Phyllis Wolford · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a departure from this authors normal writing, and all i can say is keep it up. These characters are alpha men, but deep down they are caring, loving and just hot.
The female lead is a strong woman , who beats the men at their own game.
They find each other thur a mistake, but grab a hold and does not let the woman of their dreams leave. They will protect,love and cherish her and she will bring out their softer,gentler sides. Their love will continue to grow along with their family.

Loved It

This is the first book in a new series Twisted Intentions and it’s off to a great start. I loved how tough Naomi was and what she did for the people she loved. She has a cop as a fiancé but its her captors that grabbed my attention. Trooper, Dutch and Ranger are from the Twisted Metal MC and Naomi steps in for her father for things he has done. Secrets are exposed and lives changed. It’s her hot captors that changed everything for her.

I can’t wait to see what’s next in this new series. I’m hooked.

[Marni Ortiz]

Being that I am not someone who typically reads many MC romances at all , as well as the fact that this would be my first time reading one of Savannah Rylans books I was honestly not so sure what to expect .I had come across the sign up for Twisted Metal and was just so freaking intrigued by the blurb so I spontaneously signed up - all I can say is that I’m so so happy I did . Dark , raw , gritty , steamy, reverse harem ,angst , suspense, off the chart’s chemistry, wonderfully written characters that are captivating, unique and very multi layered , twists and turns , non stop action, secrets , lies , greed and so much more . What a emotional rollercoaster. I really was not prepared for all the different emotions that Naomi , Ranger , Dutch and Troppers journey ended up stirring in me - there were moments I was on the edge of my seat feeling like my heart was beating out of my chest and others I found myself crying so hard . Each one of Naomi’s guys is so unique and so different, It’s pretty much impossible to choose a favorite. What a phenomenal start to what I can tell will be a exceptional new series .

[Debbie Earley · Rating 5 out of 5]

From the minute I started read this book I couldn't put it down. This is a new series by Savannah and it's action packed, full of suspense and off the charts chemistry between Naomi, Trooper, Dutch and Ranger. Naomi lands herself in quite a mess when her Dad ventures into a deal and causes it to fall through. Of course the guys as mad as all get out so someone has to pay and Naomi offers to be taken in her dad's place not only because he's older and sick, but because of her love for him. Surprises and secrets will keep you on the edge of your seat as Naomi, Troop, Dutch and Range find their happiness.

[Merry Jelks-Emmanuel · Rating 5 out of 5]

When Naomi's father lands in trouble, Naomi offers herself up as collateral to keep him safe. What she wasn't expecting was the feelings that would develop between herself and her captors. This action- packed story is filled with exciting twists and turns that kept me glued to the story to see how it ends for Naomi and her captors! I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book.

[Christine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Arc review for honest review. Wow fantastic 10 stars .this has twist ,mmmf , and so much more . Naomi ryland finds herself protecting her father to thugs from a MC and taken only .then to find what she thought about her fiance and her life was not what she knew or wanted.

[Reading In the Red Room · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great start to a new series. This is book one in the Twisted Intentions series. Naomi is engaged but how happy is she really in this relationship or with life in general? When she gets kidnapped she has no idea why and has no idea how she is going to get out of this situation. Ranger, Troop and Dutch are MC brothers and guilty of kidnapping Naomi. One by one the truth bombs of who they really are and what they really do come out. Naomi’s Fiancé is exposed for who he truly is. Who is the real Naomi and what has she learned from this experience? This was a great Introduction to a new series and I’m really excited about learning more about the club members. The characters were intense but entertaining. Naomi, Troop, Dutch and Ranger all had amazing chemistry and they each had their own special connection with Naomi. I’m already looking forward to reading book two.

[bookishfrag · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was an amazing amalgam of betrayal, love, and finding yourself. I really enjoyed the book. The spice was off the charts, and the plot twists were amazing. The characters were amazing.

Naomi was a strong and witty woman who stood her ground wherever she could and tried to maintain peace above all else.

The guys were all so sweet and hot and such alphas. I enjoyed their individual traits and the way they were absolutely devoted to Naomi.

But I felt like I couldn't get into it as much as I thought I would. I don't know if I'll read the other books when they come but who knows, maybe I will. I know it was an ARC but I still think it could've been better? But that's just me. I'm sure a lot of people would enjoy it.

Recommended to people who like MC RH storyline.

Twisted Metal by Savannah Rylan is the first book in the Twisted Intentions series. This was my first book review for this author. This book is a multi POV, MC, reverse harem, no cliffhanger and a HEA.

I am new to reading the reverse harem books, but I found that I really enjoyed this book.

This story is about Naomi, who gets a telephone call from her father who is in distress and is getting attacked. Naomi races over to his his house and is confronted by a MC gang, she agrees to go with them in exchange for her fathers freedom.

There were several spicy and steamy scenes. I enjoyed the different POV’s. I would recommend this book.

[Kait · Rating 2 out of 5]

I liked the idea of this but it just didn’t work for me.

Naomi pushes back so much in the beginning after being taken but then just lets the guys do whatever they want. Idk how I feel about her.

I did enjoy the change in all the men. Especially Ranger since he was such a douche in the beginning. Not that he even feels bad about that. Idk, I’m mixed on them too.

Story wise it was alright. Not really an MC book.

*I received an ARC of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review with my honest opinion.*

[Kathleen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great start for a new series. This I a reverse harem story.
Naomi rushes to save her father after a frantic phone call. She gets more than she bargained for when she agrees to go with the MC in place of her father.
Ranger, Trooper and Dutch are three very different people but each feels a connect with Naomi.
While I'm not always into reverse harem stories I enjoyed watching each man fall for Naomi and she for them.

MC-Gang/Reverse Harem/Drama

SYNOPSIS: A woman, dissatisfied with her life and her policeman fiancee, is kidnapped by 3 MC members in exchange for taking her father. There is some drama and violence as the relationship between the FC and the MCs develops followed by a HEA.

Let me start by saying I have no idea how this book made its way onto a GR top RH list. I feel, having looked at all the 5 star reviews that I must have read a completely different book as I cannot agree with the majority of positive comments made.

This wasn’t for me. I found the writing to be poor and the editing worse i.e. in one of the first scenes there is a reference to Trooper saying something but then a couple of lines later it turns out that Trooper is in a van hidden beneath some trees?? Looking at this author’s book of work she is prolific to say the least which, for me, explains why this book is so badly written and superficial. An author cannot write the number of books this one apparently has and retain any degree of novelty or depth. By 50% I was skim reading pages just to get finished. It felt like the author had a check list to follow - “dark” backstory; dramatic intro; sex; feisty FC; Alpha MCs; drama; climax; sex; wrap up. There was no real depth of story or relationship development. This was another story where the kidnapped FC yet again immediately gives in sexually to her captors because apparently getting kidnapped and the life of her father and herself being threatened is sexy and makes her hot (*face plant*). Seriously, can’t these authors write proper strong heroines? This author seems to think that having an FC shouting abuse and pointless threats at the MCs makes her tough. It doesn’t. It makes her come across as stupid. There was nothing strong or tough about this FC. It is also a book where instead of building the story or background of the characters the author simply has them offload their backstories and have plot dealt with in the same way with the story just laid out by characters simply narrating the plot instead of developing it through events.

There are plot holes galore in the storyline with the FC initially seeming to be dedicated to her nursing job and then apparently not caring about it and the rationale for the kidnapping being incredibly weak. There is no explanation as to why her fiancée was not looking for her or her work did not report her missing; no clarity on the mob link other than to make it clear her fiancee was “bad”; no clarity on why the fiancee hit his partner at the end or what that was about; no explanation as to why the fiancee even wanted the FC (she really didn’t seem to have anything to offer). Finally, the bar scene appeared to be included to tick the “add dramatic scene” box and the final climax made no sense. Not least why, all of a sudden, the fiancée’s partner was at the bar, why fiancée came alone and what he though he would achieve. Again, seemed a cheap way to add drama and end the story (not that there was really much story).

The last gripe I have is that whilst a bit of dirty talk is great, having the FC call one of the MC’s Daddy is a hard stop for me. Also, the dirty talk, primarily in the final scene, was no so much dirty talk as just straight up disgusting. There was nothing hot or sexy for me in the final sex scene.

So, again, not for me either as an author or as a story.

3.75stars- TWISTED METAL is the first instalment in Savannah Rylan’s contemporary, adult TWISTED INTENTIONS erotic, MC , reverse harem romance series. This is nurse Naomi Ryland, Trooper, Lead enforcer Dutch and MC president Ranger’s story line.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from four first person perspectives (Naomi, Trooper, Dutch and Ranger) TWISTED METAL follows in the wake of a break in at Naomi Ryland’s father’s house. Naomi is engaged to a local police officer, and when help for her father does not arrive, Naomi finds herself the prisoner of the Twisted Metal MC, having sacrificed her freedom for the safety of her father but as the days pass, and still no one, including her police office fiancé, comes to her rescue, Trooper, Dutch and Ranger go in search of the truth, a truth that pushes our heroine into the arms of the three men with whom she will fall in love. What ensues is the building but acrimonious relationship between Naomi, Trooper, Dutch and Ranger, and the fall-out when the truth is finally revealed.

The relationship Naomi and Trooper, Dutch and Ranger is tempestuous at best. Naomi is their prisoner, and has no idea as to the who, how or why of the attack at her father’s home. Struggling between head and heart, Naomi wishes for her freedom but quickly discovers that she is freer with the three men with whom she has fallen in love. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic provocative with multiple partners, bondage and a little bit of daddy kink.

We are introduced to a few members of the Twisted Metal MC: Bury, Thor, Doc; Naomi’s fiancé Gordon, her father, and Sheriff Barnes.

TWISTED METAL is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, forgiveness and love. The premise is dramatic and intense ; the characters are animated, determined and dynamic; the romance s spirited and edgy.

This is a new book series from Savannah Rylan.

In this book we have Dutch, Trooper & Ranger.

We also have Naomi, who is a nurse. Her father saw something that he shouldn't have, and interrupted Dutch, Trooper & Ranger's deal that was going down. The three are at Naomi's dad's house to beat him up and teach him a lesson, but the dad has called Naomi who shows up to help her dad. Naomi insists that they take her instead of her father, as he is sick and on med's and she knows he won't last long in their care. Now Naomi is being held in the basement of a house they are squatting in.

Naomi does have a high school boyfriend / fiancée that she's been with for a long time. But, Gordon doesn't seem to appreciate Naomi at all, and takes her for granted.

Will the guys, Dutch, Trooper & Ranger let Naomi go once they have their money??? Or will they keep her?

I did receive a free ARC copy of this book. I am freely leaving an honest review.

[Daisy Nijs · Rating 5 out of 5]

Naomi, engaged to Gordon, wants to save her father by giving herself up instead of him for repayment to the Twisted Metal MC.
When she should be afraid of those three big guys that took her, Ranger, Dutch and Trooper, she gets to know them and learns that the bad guys aren’t that bad at all, but also that the good guys aren’t who they say they are. There are so many lies involved that she had no clue about.
In the meantime, she discover who she really is and what she wants in life. No one will ever tell her again who she has to be.

This is the first book in this new series, and it is a very good start. When you learn that those bad guys aren’t really that bad, and you know how they got shaped into who they are today, you can understand why the MC is so important to them.

⭐️⭐️

Hmm. I’m not sure how I feel about this book. There wasn’t anything too crazy about it. I found Naomi to be incredibly annoying in the beginning, like… she gave herself up to three strangers to protect her father, what did she think would happen? Tea parties?

Her ex was a quack and probably the weakest wanna be criminal I’ve ever read. The other men were blah. The mafia felt like a random toss in, since they didn’t even bother coming for Naomi and really had no reason to? Also what was the point in bringing up Rangers ex? Idk. Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it. Probably won’t read anything else from this particular series but will be checking out the authors other work.

[Carolyn Spence · Rating 5 out of 5]

An intense and pulse pounding read. This is a new series and I love it. You've got three over the top bikers and one tough as heck chick that challenges them each and every way, and they don't know what to do about it. It was really a pleasure to watch them fall. I loved "anything and everything", Ranger, the toughest and the last to fall. I loved the different actions that all had with Naomi and I'd love to read more about them. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Naomi takes her fathers debt. Troop, Dutch and Ranger collect her and she thinks her fiancé Gordon, policeman , will save her. When she finds out what the guys are and do on top of finding out exactly what kind of man her fiancé is can she put herself back together or will her three guys be there to pick up all the pieces.

1.5/5 stars! This is a dark reverse harem by author Savannah Rylan. I will say that the spicy scenes were on point. But I really struggled with a lack of depth in the story. It felt like the author decided it was going to be a reverse harem story without doing any research into the nuances of the genre. Reverse harems frequently have true pushback from the FMC towards the partners and continuous character development before arriving at the HEA. This story didn't really encompass that. I think the author has promise as a New Adult author, but perhaps not in the reverse harem genre.

I received an advance review copy for free through NetGalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

It was okay, the spice was good, the story was just okay to me and a bit predictable if I’m honest but over all I enjoyed it, just didn’t love it either.

New Edgy MC Series
The author, Savannah Rylan is giving the readers a new, edgier and darker MC Series, Twisted Intentions. This is book one which features three club members, the Club’s President, Ranger, Trooper, and Dutch and the woman they take in exchange for her ailing father, Naomi. What starts out as a captivity slowly turns into protection then to something deeper and more powerful for the four of them. While the guys were somewhat misguided in why they went after Naomi’s dad to begin with, she’s at the right place and time to find out about her crooked fiancé, Gordon. Who Gordon is in bed with shocks everyone and throws Naomi’s world into chaos and forces her to rethink her life and the people she is close to.
The guys have no qualms in righting wrongs and set out to do so in Naomi’s honor. Each of the guys have their own take on the situation but come together flawlessly to set up a sting. It all goes better than expected but that leaves them all thinking about what comes next and what it would look like for the four of them.
This is a different MC Series (reverse harem) that I found, overall, as intriguing and a page turner as the author’s previous books. I liked that their were multiple POVs which allowed each personality to come through. It goes without saying that there may be multiple triggers for some, i.e., power play, kidnapping, and physical assaulting a woman so this may be a book some may not want to read. For everyone else I found this book well-written with full character development. I’m definitely recommending this book for your reading enjoyment, pleasure and satisfaction. PEACE.
I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an Advance Reader Copy of this story given to me by author, Savannah Rylan.

Naomi would do anything for her father so when she finds out he is danger she doesn’t hesitate to protect him. She now finds herself abducted by three members of the Twisted Steel MC waiting for her fiancé who is law enforcement to rescue her will trying to find a way to escape.

Dutch, Trooper and Ranger are members of the Twisted Steel MC who are looking for revenge after a deal goes sideways. Naomi was supposed to be a means to an end but as they spend time with her they realize how important she has become to them however the things she doesn’t know about the people in her life could place them all in danger.

Dutch, Trooper and Ranger all brings different aspects to the relationship as they take us on an action packed adventured filled with surprises, steam and suspense.
