Epic Twisted Love!
This book is a must one click. Tristan and Dev went through hell and back to be together. Moe made me love him even more. Ashley Jade always finds a way to break my heart and somehow put it back together. My emotions were so raw at times. I could not flip the pages fast enough. Five fantastic stars for an amazing book.

Great ending
Great experience! It's hard to breathe while reading this final installment. The twists and turns just keep coming. I think this author may be a sadist with all that she forces her characters to endure. I lost count how many times I held my breath because of the suspense. You've mad it this far, so just hold on because the end is near and the HEA is with it all. I recommend this series, this author, and everything she reads, if you enjoy DARK, twisty books that drag through hades (Amazon!!) but give you at least HFN, for now. ** This is not a standalone. You need to read the first two books."

Fantastic Ending!!
What a thrilling ending to a great series. Twisted Love was a roller coaster ride that I did not want to get off of. Ashley Jade is really skilled at creating a storyline that will have you fully captivated while reading. I love that she doesn't have any plot fillers, and the story is filled with substance rather than unnecessary drama. As with the other stories in the series, the twists are unreal and I couldn't wait to see where the author would take the story and its characters. This trilogy is one that had me hooked from the very beginning, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a da
