Review
Twisted Desire by Laura Dunaway is one book that will keep that will keep you guessing till the very end. Penelope "Penny" Santoro is kidnapped and all that she is told is that she will learn the reason why she is trapped on a boat when the time is right. Afraid and unsure what is going to happen, the only contact she is with Tag Reynolds who hadn't planned on being a "babysitter". What transpires is a story that lives up to its title.
The relationship between Penny & Tag is nowhere near normal. While you are unsure of Tag, there is something else to him that you can't quite put your finger on. Penny in all honesty doesn't know what to think of Tag in the beginning, but as she spends more and more time with him, this balance of trust builds. You will definitely be thrown for a loop and you won't really know what will happen to Penny and Tag as you read the story. Is it Stockholm Syndrome or is it more? Secrets are revealed, and there will be times that you are left saying OMG.
Laura Dunaway has written a story that is fresh take on a love story albeit under the strangest of circumstances. Despite that, you do connect with the characters and want to see how it will end for for Penny & Tag. Let me just say, the last third of this book has some major curve balls. Laura Dunaway keeps you on your toes with Twisted Desire. If you're looking for something different, Twisted Desire is the book to read.
