Bedlam (A Twisted Hearts Love Story Book 1) by Autumn Sand

5 Stars

I have read every one of the Twisted Hearts books except this one up to this point…Not sure how I missed it but I surely did and after reading this I want to pick up all the rest and reread them all. I love this series and love this author, you could probably read all of these as stand alones, but dont..they are all absolutely awesome and the characters from the previous books hang around in all of them…

This one was hard to read in spots and the author gives you fair warning in the beginning but she handled it all with class and style and allows you to crawl right in the minds of these characters and does not add in any unneeded fluff throughout the story.

Tony and Anaya’s story was intense and the twists and turns that happened along the way caught me totally off guard, they were all placed perfectly.

I highly recommend this series and I promise you read this one you will want to grab all of them.

Loved it and can’t wait for more from this author!!

TICK

I don’t need much.
As the right-hand man to the mob boss,
I have everything I need.
Women, money, power.

I’ve seen too much,
Hurt too long to want anything more.

But when I hear the screams,
I go into overdrive,
Driven to help a woman in need.

What I didn’t realize is she was going to save me.

CYMA

There’s no “happily-ever-after.”
There’s only heartache and pain.
I learned that the hard way.

Now, I have one goal: protect my daughter.
But when the rugged and sexy man saves me,
All I want is to bolt.
After all, I’ve got enough to deal with right now.

But a chance encounter proves me wrong.
Can we find a way to find love in the middle of mayhem?

Anaya

The whole fairy-tale.
A forever love.
And I thought I found it.

What I really found was
Danger, corruption, and betrayal.

Then, I meet him,
The gorgeous, tall man with topaz eyes.
He sets my pulse on fire,
And changes everything.

But he’s hiding something.
Not letting me in.
As an interior designer,
It’s my job to spot the wrinkle,
The problem.

Now, I’m determined to fix it,
For both of us.

Tony

She’s everything I want,
And everything I can’t have.
The brown-eyed beauty lights up
My dark and grim life.

But I can’t fall for her,
Can’t let her know the truth.
My past will destroy her,
Destroy us.
Will the bedlam of the past ruin our future together?

Branches of Healing: Tales of Unsung Heroes by Various Authors – Review by Heather Bahm

Branches of Healing: Tales of Unsung HeroesBranches of Healing: Tales of Unsung Heroes by Autumn Sand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Branches of Healing: Tales of Unsung Heroes is a collection of stories by eight talented authors. This romantic anthology is full of emotionally charged, raw and well written stories; these stories are truly one of the best set of roller coaster fueled stories that I have had the pleasure of reading. A couple of my favorite are: The Last Letter Home and Finding Us. Mixing these with the military undertones, I found the stories full of depth, creativity, growth, and romance in the most unexpected of places. Adding in the thought behind these stories and the benefit their purchase will have for others is truly wonderful. This anthology is worthwhile for any romance lover!

Branches of Healing is an anthology of stories by eight accomplished authors; whose works here include stories about people serving in the armed forces, and their loved ones. These stories touched me, made me feel, at times made me smile- but most of all they engaged me from the beginning right through till the end.

 

The Anthology includes:

-Finding Us by Autumn Sand.

-Aftermath by Amy Allen.

Broken in Battle by Ava Lyn Wood.

-Without You by Bella Emy.

Saving Grace by J.L Leslie.

-The Last Letter Home by Lorah Jaiyn.

-Soldier On, Moving Forward by Natalia Schellhaas.

-Oscar Mike by Verlene Landon.

 

The stories are all original and unique to the author, but all focus on the same theme. They touch on everything from overwhelming loss, Injury or separation, reuniting/second chances, tragedy, sibling bonds, friendship, tension, chemistry, learning to love again, and overcoming adversity.

I am familiar with a few of the authors, whose work I have read before and have loved, but most were new to me. For a book worm like me, this was exciting, as I am always on the lookout to find more great authors whose works I can follow- and I am happy to have found quite a few with this collection. I really recommend this anthology, you won’t regret the investment. I was pleasantly surprised by this collection of stories. There was not one story is this anthology that I didn’t like. They were all wonderful and really well written. Dive right in, but be prepared to be swept into a journey that traverses shattering loss and devastation; as well as heart-warming and moving tales full of triumph and love.

The proceeds of this novella will go to Healing Paws for Warriors!!!

 

Thank you to all the contributing authors.

Impact: Twisted Hearts Love StoryImpact: Twisted Hearts Love Story by Autumn Sand
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Impact is the fourth book in the Twisted Hearts Love Story series by Autumn Sand which is a dark romance series. It can read as a standalone but should be read as part of a series. There are lots of twists and turns, pain and heartbreak, betrayal and love and because you are invested in the characters you feel every emotion as you follow them on their journey from the past to the future.

Finally we get to Manny’s story and it does not disappoint and I really enjoyed that it was written in his POV. Manny is a man that has been broken all his life that has been ripe with so much tragedy and betrayal it makes you wonder how he has survived. Sometimes I wanted to smack some sense into him and make he see what was happening right under his nose. Other times I just wanted to hold him and take away all his pain.

Is he ready to let go of the past and move on to a better future? Will he finally realise that the right one has been in front of him all his life? Will he learn to let those that truly love him, in?

I have really enjoyed reading this series and all characters and stories interconnect, which makes reading them much more intriguing and helps to connect you to the characters.

Impact: Twisted Hearts Love Story by Autumn Sand

5x a Million Stars

This author….Oh my goodness!! I could grab a dictionary and look up every complimentary word out there and it would not be enough to explain in words how amazingly awesome I think this author is. I loved this series, and if possible I loved this book even more than the first 3, that’s hard to say because I really loved those as well. She grabs you at page 1 and doesn’t let go even after finishing the last word. She weaves words and comes up with all these little twists and turns throughout the whole book. There’s not just one big twist towards the end, it happens all the way through. This book had a lot of flashbacks to different times, every one of these were needed. I bring this up because I normally don’t like flashbacks, but the way this one read was brilliant. It was like watching a movie, and speaking of that, this series would make an awesome collection of movies, but I found myself reading a chapter and seriously looking forward to the next flashback..It was awesome!!

I loved Manny, this whole book was from his POV and while I love different POV’s through a book, this one worked perfectly. A major loss when he was younger changed the course of his life in ways that were not ideal. The decisions he made from that point on were a direct result of this loss, as well as the love he had in his heart for a girl, a love he was not even completely aware of. Their story is unique and unlike anything I’ve ever read before. The parts played by so many in this story kept me on my toes, because I never knew from one page to the next what would happen or who would be behind it. I’m not going to say anymore, I’m so afraid I’ll ruin this book for anyone that wants to read it, and trust me this book deserves to be read, but do yourself a favor and read them in order…There is one character in this book that I had a huge dislike for, until she showed up in Manny’s story…She may actually be one of my favorites now!!

I just don’t know if I can wait till January for the first book in the spinoff series, this will be brutal, so I’ll wait till December and read these again and stalk this author so I can grab Ruin the second it comes out.

Many many thanks and much Love to this author for such amazing talent and giving me a new favorite series to reread whenever I choose.

Loved Loved Loved!!!

Impact A Twisted Hearts Love Story by Autumn Sand

Five Stars!!

This is the fourth book in the Twisted Hearts series by Autumn Sand. This book is about how Manny finds his true
love in Zoe and the twists and turns of his life happen. Set in persent as well as flashbacks this book is a veritable
twisted tail. From a singular characters point of view.

In Impact, Autumn Sands has created a virutal page turner. I couldnt put it down cause I was held by the intrigue and how the creative way
Autumn Sand has used the past to bring into focus the present time of the book. The book is excellently written and the
characters are brought to life by the creative twists and turns of this book. I was definately kept eager to see how the
twists and turns in the story line not only kept the book very fresh and intreresting but how the chemistry between Manny
and Zoe plays out. This book is a good lesson in how twisted love can be and how to keep hold of love that is true no
matter how much of a bad boy you are.

Bonded (A Twisted Hearts Love Story book 3)Bonded by Autumn Sand
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bonded Autumn Sand is the third book in her A Twisted Hearts Love Story series. I recommend you read the other two books in the series before this one so you get the back stories of the other characters even though it is a standalone. This story is one hot romance book with lots of suspense, action and drama. Autumn’s characters and the world she writes definitely take you on a ride that leaves you wanting more. There are twists and turns in this book that keeps you sitting on the edge of your seat. The main characters in this book of the series is Brenda and Magnum, who have both known horrors in the past and it is their pasts that they must break free of to look forward to the future.

Brenda is everything that Magnum needs and wants but his past is holding hi back, he doesn’t want her tainted with it. He doesn’t do relationships because he can’t let anyone close enough to see his secrets, see just how damaged he is. But what happens when they meet up again and her past is now closing in on her? Now that she is in danger he vows to protect her. She is his and he will let nothing come between him and his woman. Can he be the one to save her from her demons?

Brenda thought that she and Magnum had something but he pulled away. Now he is back and he won’t leave her alone but does she want him to leave her alone? She doesn’t do relationships because her past has left her damaged. With the anniversary of the horrific events of her past looming, things start to happen that seem to point to the past coming back to haunt her. Will Magnum save her from her past that is now haunting her?

Bonded is a fast paced story that is a page turner and will keep you on your toes and reading until the very end.

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

Bonded is the third book in Autumn Sand’s Twisted Hearts Love Story series and absolutely, you can read it as a standalone but why should you? She has written two other amazing books that will get you hooked on the series and in reality, we do meet BOTH of the main characters in the previous two books and of course, all the sidekicks! You would never expect that a series can get so much better with each book but you would be wrong, there is something about the way Autumn writes that simply spell bounds you and you are like a fly in a spider’s web and she keeps coming at you again and again and again. You cry your heart out, you scream, you blush, you rage, you cannot put the book down, you check if there will be more books in the series (and thank God, there is a fourth book listed on Goodreads so I know at some point in time, there will be another one!!).
Bonded is the story of Carl CJ “Magnum” Miller and Brenda Johnson. Both of them carry heavy burden of their past and do not trust the people and do not think that they would ever be worthy/ready for a relationship. When Brenda sees Magnum for the first time, she does not think of happily ever after, she is thinking of a hot and steamy one night stand. When Magnum meets the spunky Brenda for the first time, he knew that he was in trouble and his need for her ran way too deep so he knew what he had to do – push her away …
Add to this all the past that does not stay buried, a grisly anniversary coming and you have a recipe for an amazing story! Thank you Autumn and please, do not keep us waiting too long!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bonded by Autumn Sand is the third book in the Twisted Hearts Love Story series. This book can be read as a standalone book. This is the story of Brenda and Magnum. The characters were a part of the other books but in a background, supporting character sense. Brenda and Magnum met through Cyma and Tick. Brenda was one of the nurse’s caring for Cyma’s daughter during her cancer treatment. Magnum works with Tick. The two of them are tough on the outside but are carrying a lot with them from their pasts. The two do not want a relationship but are drawn to each other. When Brenda receives a threat that is when Magnum learns his true feelings for her. With possible peril at every turn can Magnum and Brenda move from their separate pasts into a future together?
I enjoyed the characters and was glad to see them get their own stories. I was shocked at how quick I read this book. I have enjoyed Sand’s other books in the series but this one was a fantastic story of second chances and being able to put the past behind us. There are some sensitive sections dealing with child abuse. It was integral to the story and was handled tastefully and with great impact. It is a reminder that someone might be smiling on the outside but has a battle inside that they are fighting. Her characters are full of fight but also full of love for the right person. As with her other books I look forward to reading more of her stories.

5 Stars

I just love this series, I love the characters so much and love that they are all in each book. This is the story of Brenda and Magnum and I couldn’t wait to read it after falling in love with Brenda in the previous book. These can be read as standalones, but you would be missing out on some great history if you don’t read them all in order.

Magnum and Brenda both have pasts that haunt them. They each have their own reasons for not getting involved with any kind of serious relationships. They have a connection through mutual friends and even went out a couple times which resulted in him not returning any calls and then nothing. They were each attracted to each other and if it hadn’t been for their pasts they probably would have pursued it further. When a family emergency brings Magnum to town and he runs into Brenda, his want for her returns but all he does is push it away. But when she receives a message from her tragic past he can’t help himself, he will protect her or die trying. Now if he could just get her to open up and let him in, but can he do the same? She knows he has serious demons and wants desperately to help him, but how can she when she’s battling her own? As the anniversary of her tragic past approaches, can Magnum get to the truth and save her in time? Can these two broken people get past their fears and tragic pasts and find their HEA?

This author has a way with molding her words around the best stories. She knows how to manipulate you into thinking you know what’s coming and I can just imagine her sitting there at her computer with an evil laugh as she knows she’s messing with your mind, and then there you are begging for more LOL She is a favorite of mine now and I will be stalking her waiting for word on what she has in store for me next.

Joe Football by Autumn Sand

Favor is from a famous football family. Her father is many young football players Hero. Her brother was a starting quarterback being molded to follow in his father’s footsteps. Favor has always felt like an outsider in her own family and when her brother was killed in a horrible car accident it shattered her because he was the only one that understood her. Attending college under her mother’s maiden name so that she wouldn’t be recognized for who she was she stayed away from anything football. Football ruins lives. She didn’t date football players and stayed away from the field. She had amazing friends but is just so sick of anything to do with football and still feels so empty without her brother. Then along comes Brice.

Brice is the starting quarterback for the Cougars, the college’s football team. He has always watched Favor from afar, he tried to ask her out once but she turned him down flat with “I don’t date football players” so he could only dream of her, but when his chance comes at a bonfire for the team he does all he can to win her over.

Favor can’t stop thinking about him, but she can’t give in can she? He is everything she has ever wanted, but stands for everything she hates. As Brice works his way into her life there are many obstacles that keep getting thrown at them. Secrets are kept and when they surface they could be a deal breaker. Can these two find a way over everything thrown at them and find trust and love?

This story is amazing and deals with so many things from family issues to how to forgive and trust. I loved the friendships and the twists and turns in this story. I have found myself reading a lot of this author’s work and I am never disappointed. Each of her stories really make you think and I just love all of her characters. Another great story, and another favorite!

Favor was surrounded by football all her life. When your father is a big name in the sport and it is in you face 24/7 you either love it or hate it. Favor absolutely detests football and anything to do with football that includes players. As the story unfolds you will quickly learn why and you will understand why. But when a hottie comes on her radar will he be enough to change her mind? He is everything she wants in a guy but can she get past the fact that he is a football player?

Brice is a football player but he definitely is not your typical arrogant player. He is liked by all and is a really decent guy. Brice has had his eye on one Ms Favor Fontaine from afar and after a year he has finally decided to make his move. The trouble is she won’t give him the time of day. All because he plays football, but why? Unfortunately for him she has built walls around her heart and and no one can get past them. Will Brice be the one who can finally break down those walls and show Favor he is more than a football player? Can he show her that he is he one she can trust?

Brice is my man! The romance and relationship between Brice and Favor is beautiful. There are moments when you were laughing at the antics of the group of friends. Times when I wanted to seriously slap some sense into some of the men in this story There is also love and sadness, drama and betrayal. Autumn once again has written a story that you will not want to miss, with enough going on to keep you hooked right to the very end. The characters are well written, well developed and that is one thing Autumn does well. Happy reading…..

5 Amazingly Awesome Stars

Cyma is trying to hold down two jobs while still being a good Mom to her daughter who has many medical issues. With mounting medical bills, and loan payments to a terrible man, she does her best to avoid her landlord who wants his 4 months back rent. She’s sold all she can to make ends meet and just can’t catch a break. With her past causing her to trust no man and a very low self esteem, she just does her best to survive on her own. When she ends up in a very scary situation and a sexy stranger saves her she runs away as fast as she can, that’s the last thing she needs right now.

Dante ran away 10 years ago and enlisted to escape the pain of a life altering tragic loss which still haunts his dreams 10 years later. He returned 6 years ago and is now the right hand man of a mob boss who is trying to take all his businesses legal. He lives with a lot of guilt because of his losses and doesn’t feel deserving of any kind of relationship, he has even distanced himself from his loving supportive parents. All he needs is his job, money, and the right to spoil his Godson. Until he hears the cries of a woman in trouble and his need to protect her kicks in.

Dante sets out to find this woman that has stirred up feelings he never thought he could have again, and although Cyma feels like Dante could be everything opposite of what she believes about men she keeps pushing him away, she has to protect her daughter at all costs. Can these two break through the barriers that they both have set and find a happily ever after even while outside forces do all they can to destroy them?

I so so so loved this book!! This author knows how to tell a story that feels so real. Every word meant something and the story flowed perfectly. It had me wrapped while reading the prologue and I think I even quit breathing during some of it. This is my first book by this author so although part of a series I never felt lost and I plan to read the first in this series as soon as possible, as well as whatever else she has out there. She is now on my favorite author and one click list. Loved it!!!

Mayhem (A Twisted Hearts Love Story, #2)Mayhem by Autumn Sand
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tick lost everything that sent him into a spiral the only way out was to leave it all behind but for the life of him he could never forget, he didn’t want to forget. Tick is the right hand man to Tony Delaney, boss of the mob, a man he would give his life for, this man was his family. He has everything he needs. Woman with no relationships, the occasional hook up is all he needs to satisfy is basic needs. Money and power go hand in hand. He is a good guy but has done some bad things, things that had to be done. One thing he never suspected would worm its way into his life and change it all. After hearing screams Tick finds himself driven with a primal need to protect, to save with everything in his being.

Cyma was taught at a young age that life is not full of roses. In fact it is full of pain, misery, disappointment and most of all pain. Happily ever after does not exist, at least in her world and certainly not from the men who were suppose to love and protect her. No in her life she has one thing and one thing only to live for in this world and that is her beautiful and strong daughter, Lelia. Lelia is her life and no one nor anything will touch her, she will fight with all her might to make that happen. Cyma finds herself being saved by one gorgeous and sexy man that threatens to turn her world upside down but she can’t go there, too much is at stake, she has too much to deal with and fight for. When this man shows her his true feelings she is left reeling, not knowing which way to turn.

Can Cyma give this man a chance? Can she safeguard not only herself but her daughter as well? Will Tick risk everything for the one thing he wants? Is the risk worth the reward? Will Cyma finally find a new way of life?

I felt for the main characters, Tick and Cyma. They both have had to endure heartache. This story is full of emotions that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I really enjoyed it. I am sure you will enjoy it to.

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

Bedlam is the first book in Autumn Sands Twisted Hearts Love Story series. It is a great read and I am looking forward to the next book (hopefully the writer will not keep us waiting too long!).
It is a very emotional and painful book that pulled me in from the first page – the way Autumn writes, it creates images in your head and you ‘watch’ the book while reading it. It is both a blessing and a curse, in Bedlam’s case the curse is that the writer touches upon many important and painful issues such as impact of having grown up in foster care as a child of addicts, domestic violence, abuse, rape … I cried, a lot but I think that shows how well the book was written as how could something that deals with such serious matters be light and funny? No way!
The protagonists of the first book are Anaya and Tony and the antagonist is Ignacio. There are couple of other great ‘supporting’ characters and I hope some of them get their own story (actually I do know that Trick gets his story next!). There are a few surprising twists that I did not see coming but of course when they were revealed, I went like “duh, how did I not see it coming!” The story keeps you guessing and I personally could not put the book down until I had finished it so be warned! I recommend the book and wish you great hours filled with great writing!
