Dirty Twisted Love

Book One

By Lili Valente

Synopsis

Warning: This is a dark enemies-to-lovers romance that contains violence, a damaged alpha male, and dirty twisted hate banging. Read at your own risk.

The first time CIA Agent Clay Hart fell for Harley Mason, she nearly killed him. But she won’t get another chance at his heart or his life. He’s going to take the son she’s hidden from him for years, send her to jail where she belongs, and never look back.

Harley isn’t the sick twisted person she used to be, but sins have a long half-life and rage an even longer reach. Now the only man she’s ever loved is back from the dead and determined to take away her reason for living. But she won’t give up her son without one hell of a dirty, twisted, sexy fight.

She won’t give up.

He won’t give in.

And neither of them is prepared for the sparks that fly between them or the shared enemy determined to destroy them both.

* *Dirty Twisted Love is the first installment in the Dirty Twisted Love romance series. It is a spin off of the Bought By the Billionaire series, but can be read as a standalone romance. This is a SERIAL story, with a CLIFFHANGER ending. If you don’t like being teased, steer clear.* *

Tracey’s Review

Harley Mason has always looked out for Number One. Putting herself first is, after all, what has kept her alive, when, by rights, she ought not to be. But it hasn’t come without a price, because the one time that Harley actually allowed herself to believe that she could have her own piece of happiness, Fate stepped in and changed everything.

Clay Hart made the mistake of falling for Harley, but in her quest to avenge her family, he became collateral damage. Determined to save his son from a life with Harley, Clay will not stop until he shuts her down for good. But he isn’t prepared to still feel that pull, the magnetic force that brought them together so long ago, the one that threatens to cause all kinds of problems now.

Readers of the Bought By the Billionaire series by Lili Valente were first introduced to Harley in that series. The twin sister of Hannah Mason, Harley is dark to Hannah’s light, a scrapper to the nth degree, a woman more likely to stab you in the back and smile while doing it. Harley’s thirst for vengeance led to the ruin of not one, but two, good men, and ended up setting in motion a chain of events that put her and her twin sister at serious risk. But goodness grows in the most desolate of places, and Harley was given a gift. Having lost the only man that she ever loved, she was blessed with a son, and Harley will do anything to protect him and give him a life of safety and security.

Lili Valente has quickly made a name for herself in the erotic romance genre. Unafraid to take on dark situations, she nonetheless infuses them with light and love. I have to say that, at first meeting, Harley seemed incapable of redemption. She destroyed not only her life, but that of her sister and two innocent men, and seemed pretty remorseless about it. But at the end of DIVINE DOMINATION (Bought By the Billionaire Book 4), there was a glimmer, the possibility that she was still able to be saved from herself.

DIRTY TWISTED LOVE shows Harley in a new light. She will still do whatever she has to to ensure her safety, yes, but with the goal of making a safe life for her and her son, Jasper. Becoming reacquainted with Clay all of these long years later is a major kink in her plan, and promises to ratchet up the intrigue and angst. Adding in the smoldering and unwelcome hate passion that Clay is carrying towards Harley is going to make this one hot series indeed.

Lili is the consummate Queen of the Cliffy, and ends this read with the proverbial bang. It’s danger, passion, intrigue, oh, my, netting DIRTY TWISTED LOVE 5+ hotter than heck stars. You don’t want to miss this new series by Lili, so add it to your TBR and buckle up, ’cause it’s bound to be a bumpy ride.
