WARNINGS

I'm not going to review this book as I usually post my reviews. I can't! I've tried and I've deleted a few times. Because at the end I want to give this book a 5 star review and I will! So, I don't want to analyze everything as I normally do. This book made me FEEL too much.

How can I not give 5 stars for a book that grabbed me for hours, almost making me forget my son in school? A book that made me laugh and cry, and FEEL so so much? IMPOSSIBLE!

This is not a REALLY ...more

I am left raw. This book was unbelievable. The way you finding yourself caring and wanting such a bad human being like Twitch is crazy. But really when you get to the root of his bad ways is he really a bad person I don't think so. I think he was that little boy who was hurt and never really grew up. I love and hate him at the same time.
I don't want to like him because of all the horrible things he does, but I can't help it I really do like him. I also don't understand how Lexi didn't see all t ...more

Wow, this story broke my heart! When Alexis was a little girl she hears the screams of her little neighbor boy, she sneaks outside to help him. She promises to never forget him, that was the last time she saw him until.......years later he is determined to find her, when he does he wants to punish her only he finds himself falling in love with her. Long story short at the end he loses her and his son....Alexis is still so much in love with Twitch and misses him everyday. She takes AJ their son t ...more

I really really enjoyed is book!!

It was quite different from most of the books that I read in the sense that it was not necessarily the HEA that I am used to, but for these characters, the way this story ended i think fit perfectly even though it was probably not the way we would all want to see the story end.

I loved how RAW Twitch was and while I found lexi to be a little too quick to trust & allow Twitch into her life, for the sake of Fiction, it worked for me enough that i could get into th ...more

This book has emotionally torn me into shreds. I don't know if I can even put into words what I'm feeling.

I LOVED this book.
I LOVED Lexi's aka Alexa aka Angel
I LOVED Twitch
I LOVED their chemistry
I LOVED Lexi's friends Dave and Nikki
I even LOVED Happy.

In the beginning you meet Alexa as a 6 year old who helps her neighbor who is a 8 year old boy who has been abused. Fast forward 20 years later.

Alexa Ballentine is a social worker who has put her heart and soul into everything she does for her kids. ...more

wow, just wow.

This is dark, it's twisted, it definitely is completely off my comfort zone, it made me feel uncomfortable a couple of times, sometimes i just wanted to scream to Lexi "Get the hell away from him".
I mean.. who falls in love with a stalker with clearly anger issues, and a dubious job?
Well i did, and in the end, with that epilogue, i was just left with a few tears, but then, those last 12 phrases poped on and then I sobbed like a baby ...more

5 Twitch Addicting Stars!

I just knew I was going to love this book. I kept seeing it popping up over many book blogs and had that feeling it was going to be great. I just wish I would have read it earlier. Maybe I'm a little twisted but I just love male characters like Twitch, who is twisted, damaged, and sexy as hell. I liked Lexi and her friends also, they're definitely a unique bunch. The twist and turns in this book were great, so many things happened that I didn't see coming. I most definit ...more

Words cannot describe how good this book was. It was intense, heartbreaking, sweet, naughty, and down right ugly. I went into this book with little knowledge but I had heard it would mess with your mind and it does. It has such intense moments you are sitting in the edge of your seat. Just wow. For once in along while, I'm shocked and speechless. I did not see any of that coming. Hoping for a book 2! You must read this book to meet Twitch. He is the ultimate hero you will want to hate but just c ...more

OMG what can I say I loved this book it was brilliantly written. Even though twitch is a very complexed character you can't help but fall in love with him! I hope there will be a 2nd book as I feel that it's not quite the end of the story.

I strongly recommend this book to anyone it was amazing and worth more than 5 stars! ...more
