My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Third time is a charm for sure! I loved this book and I am in utter love with this series! This series continues with the quietest member of the bunch with Magnum. To me Magnum was also the most mysterious. There wasn’t much background chatter on him in the last two books, so it was nice to finally get to read his story. Magnum’s story is so incredibly heartbreaking. Then we start to read about Brenda. Brenda if you remember is the nurse that helped Cyma with her daughter. Her story was equally interesting. Now someone is gunning for Brenda and Magnum is making it his mission to keep her safe. But while he is doing that, Magnum and Brenda start succumbing to this chemistry that keeps pulling them closer and closer together, which in turn helps help them from their past. This story has a lot of twists and turns and a lot of the unexpected. What I didn’t expect were the tears that I did cry for Magnum’s character. It kind of hit home in a lot of ways and I felt so bad for him. This story was also so incredibly steamy as well!!! But all in all, this was a seriously great book. I read it in one sitting and loved every minute. I could not put it down. I cannot wait for the next one!

Bonded (A Twisted Hearts Love Story book 3)Bonded by Autumn Sand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bonded is another part to the The Twisted Hearts Love Story series by Autumn Sand I’ve slowly been reading. This book tells of Magnum, who we are introduced to in previous books, but barely. He seems quiet, mysterious, and dangerous. My expectations for this book were high because previous stories in this series have grabbed my attention and turned me into a mob affiliate junkie! For real, I cannot get enough of this series!! All the men are alpha-male. Sexy. Borderline Dangerous. And the women are sexy, smart, capable. I’ve not had much interest in these types of stories, and was more into MC type romance/suspense/action, however this series is opening new doors for me.
Magnum, real name Carl, is employed by Tony Delany, who we get to know a lot of in the previous stories. Just like the previous stories, this one has scenes of a sexual nature not suitable for younger eyes, as well as vulgar language and swearing. And it has some very disturbing and maybe triggering scenes of violence involving children, so be aware if this is bothersome for you.
Placed mostly in New York, but partly in Amsterdam.
Brenda is a nurse. We meet her briefly in Ticks story because she is friends with Cyma, as well as was Laila’s (Cyma’s daughter) nurse, and Cyma is Ticks spouse. Her and Magnum have sparks for sure, but for reasons unclear, fail to hit it off at first. However all that changes when someone appears to stalk Brenda and Magnum takes whatever means necessary to keep her safe!
This book was much more than I expected! 5 out of 5 stars!

Bonded (A Twisted Hearts Love Story book 3)Bonded by Autumn Sand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bonded is the 3rd book in the amazing Twisted Hearts Love Story series by Autumn Sand. Each book in the series can be read as a stand-alone but as this is such a fantastic series, I’d recommend reading them all. And if you are going to read them all then it would add more to the enjoyment if you read them in order as this may prevent any possible spoilers.
We were introduced to the 2 main characters in previous books, Magnum as one of Tony’s men and Brenda was the paediatric nurse who looked after Cyma’s daughter Leila in the 2nd book.
Magnum had a horrific childhood having been physically and mentally abused by his father. In this book his father is ill and this causes Magnum to have more flashbacks and dreams about the abuse he suffered.
Brenda also has demons from her past that she’s trying to escape but it looks like her past is about to come back to haunt her in a major way.
This book is a gripping, romantic thriller. The story grabbed you from the very first page and did not let go. You are taken through a roller coaster of emotions and there are many twists and turns that you just don’t expect.
I loved both of these characters and how they both worked hard to help each other overcome their horrific pasts. The author writes fantastic characters who have so much depth to them and you really get invested in their stories. I have loved the books in this series so far and I’m now looking forward to reading book 4, ‘Impact’.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bonded (A Twisted Hearts Love Story book 3) by Autumn Sand is a dark romantic suspense. You do not need to read previous books in this series to read Bonded, but the main characters (Magnum and Brenda) appear in earlier novel(s). In Bonded, we learn more about Magnum, who he is, what he does, and what motivates him. I loved his character, he’s the epitome of an alpha character who is strong, protective, fierce and more. Brenda is such a caring female lead with a haunted past that seeps back into her life. This story was a great intriguing read and I loved the drama and mystery that unfolded along with the undeniable chemistry. A page-turner from start to finish. Autumn Sand has amazing stories in the Twisted Hearts series.

MAYHEM (A TWISTED HEARTS LOVE STORY – BOOK 2) BY AUTUMN SAND – REVIEW BY MELISSA AGENA

Mayhem (A Twisted Hearts Love Story, #2)Mayhem by Autumn Sand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Even better the second time around! Mayhem is the second book in the Twisted Hearts Love Story Series by Autumn Sand. Although we are not following Tony and Anaya in this book, they do have cameos. In this book we follow Tick and Cyma. Tick is Tony’s right hand man, former Marine and of course a serious ladies man. Cyma is a mom of a very young daughter who is just trying to get by through any means that she can. Tick’s background is the reason he is a player, but the moment he meets Cyma, that all ends. However, for Cyma she feels the pull toward him but her background keeps telling her to stay away. Tick had other plans. This book is so well written that it’s almost like you aren’t reading but you are a part of the story. I love the characters and the twists and turns that are incorporated within. This truly is a great book and a great series. I can’t wait for the next book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mayhem by Autumn Sand is the second book in the Twisted Hearts Love Story series and I think it’s safe to say I enjoyed it more than the first book. And I really really enjoyed the first one.

Tick is the right hand man to mob boss Tony who we meet in Bedlam, Book 1, and is emotionally stunted due to a tragic event that happened in his younger years. But that all changes when he has an unexplainable reaction to Cyma, who he meets in a sudden, violent, and unexpected way and she vanishes just as quickly as he meets her. A few days later he sees her again, in again the most unexpected place, and vows this time to get to know her better. He is persuasive, and sexy as can be!! And he doesn’t take no for an answer! Cyma has her reasons for saying no, but has a hard time meaning it
This story has humor, tragedy, danger, action, twists, vulgar language and steamy sex scenes in spades! This book is not for people who are adverse to violence, or cancer, and is definitely not for young eyes!! 5 stars from me and I cannot wait to read book 3!

This is Manny’s long awaited story.

There wasn’t a time that I could ever remember that I didn’t love her.
First, we were friends and later lovers.
She was the light in the dimness of my pitiful existence.
We swore we would always be together in life and in death.
But then my past came knocking, and I was running out of time.
I had to save her before I saved myself.
Never did I know the impact she had on my life till I found her again.
Will I learn to put the pieces of us back together?

Five Stars

I love the different song for each chapter. The author got my attention fast with that detail. I also liked Magnum. He is a guy to be feared but also cherished. All these men are just big softies. I love it. This one is my favorite so far. The rawness when magnum speaks his feelings. The realness from the pain and fear. I can’t get enough of this series. This author has me hooked. I’m ready to be a character in a book so I can find my HEA. Even though it’s sad to lose people there is also beauty in it. You learn to let old ghost go and allow new things in.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

  • Mayhem by Autumn Sand is the second book in the Twisted Hearts series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although the whole series is worth a read.
    This book was just as good as the first book. I enjoyed the characters and their story. I really felt a connection between them. The story was fast paced and I found it to be quite intense in places. It sucks you in to the story and made sure to not let up until the end.
    Although this book can be read as a stand-alone I really do recommend reading them all as the characters do cross over and they are genuinely just that good.View all my reviews

Mayhem (A Twisted Hearts Love Story, #2)Mayhem by Autumn Sand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mayhem is the 2nd book in the Twisted Hearts Love Story series by Autumn Sand. Although there are recurring characters, each book can be read as a standalone. I had not read the first book Bedlam before reading Mayhem and did not feel that I was missing any key parts to the story. Although, now that I have read Mayhem and really enjoyed it, I’d like to go back and discover Tony and Anaya’s story.
Dante (or Tick as he’s also known) is Tony’s right hand man. He still hasn’t got over the death of his beloved pregnant, fiancée Kayla, in a car crash on their wedding day 10 years previously and subsequently the death of prematurely born Dante jnr.
Cyma is a struggling single mum, who is juggling 2 jobs, one as a stripper, to help pay of the debts she has with loan shark Wheeler. Debts she has risen up in order to pay for the healthcare of daughter Leila who is battling Leukaemia.
A chance meeting brings Danta and Cyma together and Dante is totally smitten. He will do anything, and I mean anything to make life better for Cyma.
This book is dark and gritty and will drag you into it’s grip from the very beginning. It has so much emotion and so many twists and turns that will keep you glued to this book and you will not want to put it down. I loved it so much. I already have the 3rd book in the series ‘Bonded’ on my kindle waiting for me and I can’t wait to see what the author has in mind for Magnum and Brenda.

Mayhem begins with mist compelling scene that really pulled me in and set the tone for the story. It seriously had me in tears and I loved seeing the main character come to terms with what happened later on. Dante was an amazing gentleman yet also played his role as protective bad boy well. Cyma had a unique name and I loved how strong she was as a mother, lover, and woman in general. I really felt like this story was full of action and romance while maintaining the ability to be an easy read. Cyma and Dante both were complex characters to begin with but I felt that they changed as time went on. I loved how this story played out! I definitely recommend this novel!

When you’re the right of the mafia boss you don’t need much. Tick is a man who gets what he wants or he takes it. Through the whole book I was torn over liking and disliking him. How can a man be so soft and hard at the same time. Cyma was a little weak for my taste but she was a good character. The author is giving us so much in this series. The characters are well written and the story holds your attention. I really like how these men and women are coming together in unlikely situations. That you could be the one thing that a man built on a hard life gives up everything for. You could be the one light in his darkness.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mayhem (Twisted Hearts Love Story Book 2) by Autumn Sand is a contemporary romance/suspense. This novel was an engaging read that kept me wondering what was waiting around the corner. Drama was surfacing in this story in almost every corner. Tick was the epitome of an alpha male, but in the most amazing ways. His character knew no bounds and was strong, insanely protective and at the same time charming and soft. Cyma’s life changed when Tick came in. The interactions between Cyma and Tick were phenomenal and the epitome of a push and pull relationship. The attraction was undeniable, having the wills were strong between the two and it becomes a question can they really take a chance or will the shadows waiting to pounce take everything down with them? Autumn Sand delivered a great story that fits well with the theme of the series.

By: Autumn Sand
My Rating: 3 of 5 stars

Mayhem (Twisted Hearts Love Story #2) by Autumn Sand was a pretty okay read, full of drama, romance, and heavy feels.

My first read from this author, I went in with an open mind as this book is a little out of my comfort zone. The plot line was good, the opening was a right kick to the feels, what a heavy way to start a book. I have to say, I don’t know if it that was the right choice. Not that is wasn’t well written or interesting, it just sets a specific heavy tone for the book, and moving onto that 10 year later, the tone shift didn’t unfortunately, work for me.

Now the MC’s weren’t bad but I did have a problem with Tick at the start. His first meeting with Cyma wasn’t, for me, all that connecting or, good. Yeah sure he saved her and all, but hell, afterwards he was acting worts then the thugs. He was drooling over her, right after the poor girl had a traumatic experience. I don’t know what the author was going for, but I personally found it creepy and it left a bad taste for Tick.

Moving forward, I fell more into this read, and when the plot picked up, things got interesting, and intense. The writing is hooking, and despite my misgivings about Tick at the start of the book, I couldn’t stop reading. The plot elements were great, and the ending was sweet, bringing the story full circle. It was nice to see, and it help redeemed Tick.

Overall this book is a recommendation from me, and take my stamp of approval that you my like all the things I didn’t, but as I have said, the story itself is great, just needs a little find tuning.

Happy Reading

MAGNUM

I want her with everything I am. It’s a need so deep that all I can do is push her away. But, that’s who I am–it’s what I do. Anyone who dares to get too close, I shove away–out of my reach. The damage of my past won’t let me move forward–won’t let me love her.

But now, she’s in danger, and I refuse to let anything happen to her. Come Hell or high water, I will protect her. Or die trying…

BRENDA

It was all about sex. At least, that’s what I told myself. I refused to let Magnum have my heart. But when the anniversary of my tragic past comes back to haunt me, it’s Magnum who’s there to save me–from my past and from the demons who torment me. Time heals all wounds, but this time, the pain just might be incurable. Can Magnum fix what was destroyed so long ago?

BEDLAM (A TWISTED HEARTS LOVE STORY BOOK 1) BY AUTUMN SAND – A REVIEW BY MELISSA AGENA

Bedlam (A Twisted Hearts Love Story, #1)Bedlam by Autumn Sand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was one of the best stories I have read in such a long time! Bedlam is the first book in the Twisted Hearts Love Story Series by Autumn Sand. This story follows Anaya and the sudden landing of an exclusive job of redesigning the interior at the elusive club Pulse. She has no idea how she’s contracted it, except for the fact that the owner has asked for her specifically and only her. Then when she shows up to the meeting and meets the owner, she can’t seem to take her eyes off of him. Small problem though…Anaya has a boyfriend, Iggy. Iggy is the head of the mob. However, the owner of the club has eyes for her too and can’t seem to stay away from her either. There are so many twists and turns it’s not even funny. I’m warning you now though, there are some pretty rough and graphic scenes in terms of rape. But there is a happy ever after to this story! This book is definitely a page-turner. I loved every minute of it! You will not be disappointed! I cannot wait for the next book in the series, especially if it is as good as this one!

Bedlam: A Twisted Hearts Love Story by Autumn Sand is the first book in this series though each book is a standalone.

Anaya is unhappy with her life . Her longtime boyfriend is cheating and just doesn’t treat her the way she deserves. She realizes how unhappy and unfulfilled she is when she meets Tony.

Tony’s club needs a makeover and finds the perfect person Anaya. What he doesn’t realize is how fast she will get under his skin.

This book has everything including some possible triggers but the way they were written made me not cringe as much as I could have with that very uncomfortable subject.

I’m very weird when it comes to series, even if they can be read as standalones I still prefer to read them in order so this is actually the second book in this series I have read and so glad I picked this book.

Bedlam A Twisted Hearts Love Story is not the first book I’ve read by Autumn Sand and definitely will not be the last. This author drags you into the story and makes you feel what the characters feel. The characters were amazing and some of them were lovable. Some not so much. This was a dark read and not for the faint of heart but the author expressed that in the blurb.
This book sucks you in from the very first chapter. I was so happy to read some of it and so sad for some of it. I was surprised to see how everything came together and what the plans were. Anaya seemed like a very strong character but, was surprised to see some of the things she put up with in her relationship. I’m looking forward to reading more books by this author.

I just finished reading Bedlam (Twisted Hearts Love Story #1), by Autumn Sand.

Anya is an amazing woman, through and through!

She knows what she wants, she is strong, she is smart and she’s a fighter.

Tony is a man of action – he is not shy to go after what he wants – no matter how hard it might be to get it.

Wow! Just WOW! I’m not one for a book that has too many plot twists or *too much* drama – I am very critical at books that have a bit of either.

But this book blew me out of the water – I mean, I devoured it and already got book number 2 in the series.

The chemistry that Anya and Tony have, leaps off the page without being cheap or unbelievable – it is *Oh so right* and it kind of made me jealous just reading about them – that’s how good the writing is!

The plot of this book is off the charts and I loved every minute of it – it has steamy moments, surprises, heartache, suspense and best of all, it has meat on it’s bones (something that I find is often lacking in many books).

I often find supporting characters easy to forget – but Bedlam gave me Tick, Manny and even Magnum – all characters that I could easily read books about.

Bravo Autumn Sand – Bravo! You have a new superfan!

Bedlam by Autumn Sand is part of her Twisted Hearts Love Story Series. This is a stand-alone book although the series as a whole is worth reading.
This book is extremely intense and hard to read in places. The author does a great job of highlighting this as the start and book d navigating her way through it however you should be aware of it before picking up this book.
The characters in this book are amazing. They work together in a way that is just impossible to explain. Their chemistry is undeniable. This book had me utterly enthralled all the way through. And although it was quite a difficult read it was well worth it. I would highly recommend you giving this book a go!

Bedlam – A Twisted Hearts Love Story- by Autumn Sand.
The narrator and heroin of this story is Anaya and she clearly has money as is evident in the first chapter. This is typical of this type of story. She works for a top interior designer in New York. She has the top of the line everything where fashion and accessories are concerned. Automatically, you can see Anaya’s unhappiness with her relationship. Her boyfriends name is Ignacio. He’s never home and he messes around on her. He is the head of a crime family. He took over the title after his father died. His whole demeanor changed, with their relationship quickly following, when he took the “job”.

Anaya grew up in foster care. Both her parents died of Drug Overdoses. She is attached to her boyfriend because hes been the only constant in her life. Anaya only has 1 close friend.

She receives a rare, life changing opportunity to redecorate the hottest club in the tri-state area. While attending her first meeting at this club, she meets a man that makes her hot. Its clear at this point that there will be sex and swearing in this story not suitable for younger eyes. It’s also clear some parts will be funny laugh out loud funny. The man is Tony Delaney. Her new boss. Insert twists here! From that point on, the story reeks of danger every page you turn. Foreshadowing galore. It’s really a great 5 star reads with unforeseen twists and non stop suspense!! 5 stars!!

By Autumn Sand
Rated 5 stars

Another great story from Autumn Sand! She is amazing in how she tells both sides of a story. She give me preconceived notions about a character then when that character gets their story…I am in awe of what has made them how they are today. She breaks them down and build them back up. In the previous book he was Tick. In this book we get to know Dante…another side of him.

Tick..Tick..Tick! How I have come to like you. I like how you got your nickname. I like how you are a strong personality but don’t push all the time. I like how you are with Cyma.

Cyma! You are amazing! I am glad Tick showed up that night and met you. He has become so cute since meeting you. Don’t tell him I said that…he would probably have a coronary.

It’s great spending time with Anaya, Tony and the boys. They have such a great camaraderie between them. Wonderful characters and crazy good story!

My fav line in the story—

“No one is perfect and no one’s life is a fairy tale. We just hope to have those fairy tale moments from time to time. “

This is such a true statement! Whether you are a fictional character or not.

The characters growth and emotions throughout the story capture and make you see things differently. I definitely enjoyed this one.

Bedlam by Autumn Sand is the first book in A Twisted Heart Love Story series. Autumn Sand put in a lot of effort to make this story flow and read easy without over complicating themes to bog the story down. This story does have adult situations that will make you angry, but do not let that stop you from reading this book. The characters are fully developed and made me feel like I was one of the gang right there in the story. Anaya wants what every girl wishes for and that is to fall in love with her prince and have children. Anaya’s dream went a little off the beaten path. There are problems with her relationship of twelve years and not sure how to get over those feelings. In walk Tony who was a mystery to Anaya.

Bedlam ( A Twisted Hearts Love Story, #1) By Autumn Sand
5 Stars!!!!!

This has been a long wait for me to read more from this author. I was not let down. I really find that the author has a reader grabbing writing style. I was hooked from page one and couldn’t wait to see how things would unfold.

The drama that unfolds around Anaya and Tony really draws the reader in. The way that plot unfolds as even her closest friend betrays her. I really found myself eager to turn the page to see what was gonna happen next. I could feel the family tension between Tony and Iggy. The author really brings the characters to life and I felt as though I was actually in the book and seeing the story unfold. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

From start to finish, a fantastic book from Autumn Sand. I was spellbound on the first page and couldn’t stop reading until I finished the last sentence. The characters were strong and relatable. There was intrigue and romance. Strong chemistry and connection. Plot moved well and was never stagnant. Continue to really enjoy Sand’s writing and this series in particular. Very well written.

Bedlam (Twisted Hearts Love Story Book 1) by Autumn Sand – Review by Ashleigh Whitwell

Bedlam (A Twisted Hearts Love Story, #1)Bedlam by Autumn Sand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bedlam is the first of the Twisted Hearts Love Story series by Autumn Sand. This story promises it all; danger, deception and a forbidden love affair. If this doesn’t make you want to jump straight into the book, I don’t know what will. While I love a romantic thriller, I’m not always one for the darker reads. Something about Bedlam had me hooked before I’d even started and I’m so pleased it did. This was an exciting and addictive read that I cannot recommend enough.

From the very beginning of Bedlam we learn everything is not as it seems in Anaya’s life. While it might appear she has the perfect set-up, nice apartment, designer clothes, this is far from the truth. Her relationship with her long-term boyfriend has all but fizzled out, but how do you end things when before-mentioned boyfriend is the head of a mafia empire? A mafia romance you say? Not quite! Ignacio, or Iggy, is anything but the warm, romantic type. His scenes with Anaya were always difficult to read and very disturbing. His hold over her is strong, but she still manages to form friendships and a career outside of her life with him. It’s her career that throws her in Tony’s path. Now he is a man worth talking about! Tony and Anaya immediately have an intense connection and sparks fly. Unlike her and Ignacio’s scenes, I loved reading the scenes between Anaya and Tony. They were hot; so prepare yourself for some very believable chemistry.

Before you start reading Bedlam, be warned that there are some serious triggers. This is not an easy-to-read book, so be ready for some really uncomfortable reading. Right from the start we are exposed to some deeply sad events and it only gets worse as the story moves on. This book is filled with deception, danger and lies so expect everything that comes with those labels. However, this story is also hopeful and there are some really lovely scenes. While most of these are between Anaya and Tony, look out for some unexpected scenes with Fred; my favourite character!

Bedlam is both the book I was expecting, but also full of surprises. It is darker than I thought it would be but also has some lighter, touching moments. I read this in one sitting; yes, it really is that addictive! For anyone who loves a mafia or dark romance read, I would recommend this in a heartbeat. I can’t wait to read more of this series!

Rated 5 stars

Wow! Just wow! This author is able to tell quite the story! She drew me In with the easy going writing which made me love reading this. This flows so nicely! The characters are amazing! I love the mafia slash gangster theme. My emotions ran high and I could hardly put this book down. Prepare for a late night!

I loved the characters. But then I learned to hate some of them as well. They were strong, fun and outrageous at the same time. That Tony! He is sex on a stick! The meetings between him and Anaya are so sexy. My tummy tingles and butterflies fly. Tick and Manny are not only different character names but they are interesting characters as well. They are men of action not words.

This is not my first book in this series but I am glad I was finally able to get this one read. There are some books that make a person stay up late reading…this is one of those. This is an introduction to these characters which will carry over to the next in this series. Thank goodness! I love catching up with previous characters.
