My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In this dark BDSM book you meet Ethan and Siena. Ethan almost mistakes Siena for Joyce, someone who had almost completely ruined his family. Thinking up a perfect plan to get his revenge, he tries to get Siena to submit to his wishes. He didn’t expect her to get under his skin and change his thinking. Siena is entirely too trusting and constantly sees the good in her brother and her cousin, even after it has been pointed out time and time again that they are not good people. Does she come to accept this and Ethan’s plan or does she try and keep on maintaining her rose-colored glasses?

Each story gets better and better and this one is ohh so dark and …well…TWISTED! Each book in this trilogy is a standalone and each story dips into a different aspect of the BDSM lifestyle. Twisted proposal is the darker, more twisted side that is rarely talked about. The pain given and pain cherished.

Ethan and Siena are doomed from the start. Family betrayal, distrust, greed and humiliation is just the start. Saccenti brings these two characters together in a last ditch effort for Siena to open her design business. The only thing she needs is someone to finance her way. Ethan has the finances for Siena and sees this situation as a way to bring revenge and get even for his family. Little does he know that Siena is more than her good looks and may be just what Ethan needs.

I really liked this book, much more than the first two because it really pushes those unknown boundaries.

A business arrangement with an unorthodox payment was a great plot! Ethan starts out bent on revenge and his plan includes Siena. This book kept me up until 4:30 am so yeah, it is definitely engaging. Several things I loved but here are a few – how two characters saw Ethan’s character completely different, how the author kept us in suspense, and the way our hero started feeling about Siena. It was eye opening, exciting, and well-written. Looking forward to more from this author!

Deception (Central Florida Stories, #1)Deception by Victoria Saccenti
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well leave it to me to read a series out of order. Thankfully this author has written this story (and book 2) so well that each can be read as a stand alone and while there is some character overlap, everything makes sense.

Main character, Joe, is an ex-Marine and a Dom. These are the only good things about him in the beginning. I don’t like him. I was more than half way through this book and I still didn’t like him. Joe is angry and his anger is definitely misplaced. However, at about 75% Joe redeems himself and holy moly! The sex and all the good stuff in this story is REALLY good. The heartache and trauma though is really tough and explains the hardness of these characters.

Hunter is the woman in Joe’s sights. According to Joe, she is the reason for all his misery. Hunter is just trying to survive and create a happy healthy place to live for her and her son. But to be honest men suck. And family isn’t much better. The men never live up to her standards, something is always missing. Who knew sexy, grumpy Joe would be it.

The title of this book is perfect. I am glad I did not read this book first as Joe’s character in the beginning was almost a hard no, I almost needed a safe word just for him to go away. Good job Victoria Saccenti!

Looking forward to reading the next story from hot Central Florida and this author!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My first book by this author and I can not wait to read everything she has written! This story is so hot and even though it is book 2 and I read it out of order it made complete sense! This story can be read as a stand alone.

Arely has been in love with her brother’s best friend Kurt for as long as she can remember. But since he is a few years older he only sees his best friend’s kid sister. Kurt however does see something special in Arely so he is extra nice and sweet while they grow up. Of course life goes on, things happen and these two lose contact. When circumstances and danger bring them back together and the sparks fly!

I really enjoyed this story. The characters are believable and loveable. The location of Central Florida is perfect, the weather is as hot and charged as Arely and Kurt!

Twisted Proposal was just what the title says. If I’m being honest, I’m the beginning I couldn’t get into the book. It took me days to read the first few chapters. I just couldn’t get into it. I didn’t like the main character Ethan and that was it. I gave it a chance and kept reading. There was a change and
I found the book to be a good read. There were reasons why Ethan was the way he was towards Siena. I’m still stuck on why Joyce was sending those emails to Siena. That confused me a bit but all in all, it was a great story once I got into it and I enjoyed reading it.

I’m not sure what I got into when I started to read this, but definitely wasn’t expecting this. Twisted Proposal is dark and twisty in very delicious ways. It took me a minute to get into it. I was really struggling at first, but I pushed on. Once I got to the meat of the book, I was hooked. However parts of it were a tad too dark for me, I still enjoyed it.
Siena is the innocent victim in all this. Caught in her brother’s addictions. Caught up in her cousin’s web of deceit. Yet despite all that she’s still naive enough to think the best of both of them.
Ethan pulled her in. She was going to be his pawn. After everything Siena’s cousin did to him he felt he had the perfect plan.
However, what happens when that backfires?
When she starts to crack his steel walls?
If you like BDSM books, this book is for you. If you enjoy dark and twisty, well this book definitely has that. If you enjoy a mob presence tied into that. What are you waiting for? The time is now.
The author wrote an interesting story. One that seems to be part of a series as it’s book 3. Well I don’t know what back story would’ve come from books 1 & 2 as I started on 3, however it reads very well as a standalone novel. Though I may be going back to check out the other 2. While I’m doing that, I hope you enjoy this book!

I have read a few books by this author and yet again I was surprised by how quickly you fall into her stories! She has an unbelievable knack for taking heroes who think/act like they have fallen, throwing in a wonderful heroine, and seeing what excitement unfolds. We all know that a good woman can really shake things up but wow! These two absolutely have spark but now, who will win the battle of the wills? And who is willing to pay the price for what they truly want? This is a must read!!

This book is the third in the series but can be read as a standalone. This book is the very definition of hot and spicy. The chemistry between the characters was palpable from the moment they first met. You could feel it on every page and only seemed to grow stronger. I was pulled into their story and couldn’t stop reading.
The author has created a great story with characters that seem to fill the pages. It is just as good as the others in the series and I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I would definitely recommend this, and the series as a whole, to anyone.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Twisted Proposal is Book Three in the Central Florida Stories series. The general theme of each book is erotica romance with sizzling chemistry between the characters and each can easily read as a standalone. The storyline is intriguing, the scenes are vividly written, and the characters are unique and interesting. This story centers around the characters of Ethan and Siena, who are both trying to work through some personal problems. Ethan has some issues that he has been trying to work through since his last breakup. He has just started to experiment with his dominant side and is seeking revenge on his ex and her family who he blames for the breakup. When he reluctantly agrees to attend a high society gala, he spots Siena across the room. She happens to be his ex’s cousin and is the spitting image of his ex. This sets a plan of revenge into Ethan’s mind using Siena to do so. Ethan sees Siena as easy prey due to her dire situation and looks forward to her being his submissive. However, what he never anticipated is Siena being the perfect submissive to his dominant. Soon the chemistry and passion between them becomes explosive but Ethan is uncertain if he can trust Siena. Both Ethan and Siena must work through their baggage and decide if they have a future together. This book had angst, drama, passion, secrets, revenge, lies, lust, and intense chemistry as the author delves into the world of dominants and submissives. Another great book in this series by this talented author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Undeniable is Book Two in the Central Florida Stories series. It is a captivating read with a riveting storyline, vividly written scenes, and characters that are lovable and easy to root for. Arley and Kurt both have demons that haunt them and secrets they are hiding. Arley has fled from a crime cartel and is trying to stay hidden. She has taken on a bartender job at a BDSM club that is owned by Kurt. Kurt suffers from PTSD from his time in Afghanistan which leaves him feeling broken and unworthy. He keeps a low profile and keeps to himself. Years ago, Arley and Kurt had a connection, but it went nowhere, and they went their separate ways. Neither have seen the other in years but when Arley and Kurt reunite after twelve years the feelings are rekindled and the chemistry between them is intense and explosive. The crime cartel is lurking in the shadows though, so this adds an element of danger, and it is up to Kurt to keep Arely safe. This book had danger, intrigue, drama, suspense, mystery, secrets, a few twists, and of course explosive passion between the characters.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Deception is Book One in the Central Florida Stories series. It is a story of a man and a woman brought together under less than desirable circumstances. The storyline was intriguing, captivating, vividly written, and took a turn that I did not expect. The characters are ones that take a bit of warming up to but after learning a bit more of their backstory they become more compelling and lovable. Joe, an ex-marine, is determined to seek revenge on a woman named Hunter who he is convinced caused a teammate to commit combat suicide. Hunter has a reputation for using men, breaking up marriages, and for being easy. When Joe seeks out Hunter to dish out his revenge, he discovers that she is not like that at all. Hunter has gained her reputation when men’s feelings get hurt and they tear her down to seek their revenge against her. When Joe learns this and gets to know Hunter better his feelings for her start to change. Joe also discovers that Hunter is a submissive which is a perfect match for him as a dominant. What started out as revenge has turned into something more and the chemistry between Joe and Hunter sizzles. This book had action, suspense, drama, danger, lies, revenge plots, friends to lovers, and chemistry galore as the author delves into the world of dominants and submissives.

This is the third book in the Central Florida Stories series. The good thing about this series is each book is a standalone so you don’t need to read them in order, however once you’ve read one you will definately want to read the others in the series. This is a hot and steamy romance with an BDSM dom/sub relationship.
I loved the characters of Ethan and Siena Both of these characters have things to work through in their lives which make them more deep and interesting.
Ethan is starting to finally embrace his dominant side since the break up of his last relationship which left him hurt and after revenge against his ex and her family.
Hes not managed to find his sub but he is looking.
When a chance meeting with Siena happens it gives him the opportunity to get his revenge and also find a sub.
Siena is the cousin of his ex and her double and when Ethan finds out about her current dire situation he gives her a proposal she can’t refuse. But what happens when Ethan’s plan for revenge back fires and Siena starts to get under his skin.
Will she become more than just a means of revenge? And will Ethan be able to trust Siena after what happened with her cousin?
This is a very dark steamy romance, I loved seeing the progression of the characters as they embrace their roles as Dom/sub and how they both learn to trust again

Revenge with a twist
This is book 3 of the Central Florida Stories which can be read as a stand alone. Ethan and Siena are a formidable couple. Ethan is Dom who takes no prisoners but he wasn’t prepared for Siena. With BDSM, mystery and smoking chemistry this is a a well written contemporary romance that has the reader in suspense waiting to see how it all turns out. Recommend.

Fighting a war is a horrible ordeal but losing a teammate because they lost their own battle is so much worse. Joe knows who is at fault and he’ll make her pay. This story is so good. A twist of the unimaginable. You won’t want to put it down. The romance is wonderfully written.

This is the third book in the Central Florida series but since it’s a stand alone it isn’t a must to read the first two, which can always be nice. Though I do recommend any book by Victoria Saccenti. This book is on spice level 3000. If you aren’t into smutty spice don’t even begin to read it. A great storyline to follow the sexual encounters and who doesn’t love a storyline to go with it.

Twisted Proposal is the third book in the Central Florida Stories series by Victoria Saccenti. This is a contemporary romantic suspense with drama, danger, tension, angst, emotion, agendas, BDSM, Dom/Sub, secrets, and revenge.
Victoria Saccenti has crafted fully realised individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. Both our MC’s have their own baggage and challenges, which added extra angst, tension, emotion, and interest to the whole story. Add in some sizzling chemistry, and just a little fate, and this story really takes off.
Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Saccenti does next.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Victoria Saccenti!

I have read a few of this authors work. I like her dark stories and Twisted Proposal does not disappoint. She entices you into worlds easily imagined due to her strong word building. I enjoyed the story premise and Victoria’s writing style. Victoria’s vivid narrative paints a picture that is seductive and draws you in with to the BDSM lifestyle that is hot and sexy.
Twisted Proposal is a book in the Central Florida Stories series. Each book can be read as standalones but why not start at the beginning as characters do cross over in some books.
Lured into a world of Submissives, Dominants, BDSM where the game of seduction plays to the Elite.
Mistake in identity is all it takes for revenge to take hold. Slipping under his skin was not on the agenda.
If you like to dip your toes into BDSM then you will like this story.

This is an author that I have loved reading from the first book I picked up. This is the third book in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous books as well, it will help you enjoy this author;s writing skills as well as her characters. I found this book to be fast paced and hard to put down. A well written story where the characters pull you into their world and make it pop. I enjoyed watching their growth as well as their chemistry which is off the charts. What will happen when she gets under his skin? What will fate have instore for them? I found myself hoping they would get their HEA. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens with these two characters. I really enjoyed them and what they brought to the story. I highly recommend this book

This book is fascinating. A little bit of everything: romance, BDSM, suspense, mystery and a touch of steam. I loved the characters. Ethan is a little twisted and watching him work through his issues is quite interesting. The storyline was a little glitchy in a few spots but flowed fairly smooth and it was quite good. This is an exciting story that if you like twisted adventure and romance, it’s for you.

A little of everything can be found in this story. Daniel is a vet working through his issues. He likes a little BDSM with his women. The story has lots going on. I found the characters quite fascinating and exciting. The story took a little longer to get going but once it did, BAM!! It’s a good story if you love romantic suspense with lots of drama.

Ethan Ashford prefers the private playrooms of his exclusive club to the backstabbing elite society into which he was born. But when his ailing father asks him to attend a gala dinner, he reluctantly agrees. Only to encounter an eerily familiar face that freezes him in his tracks. 

He quickly realizes the woman isn’t Joyce, a conniving social climber who almost ruined his family, but her cousin Siena Maynard, a fledgling fashion designer who pings Ethan’s Dom radar from across the ballroom. Even better, her uncanny resemblance to Joyce sparks a plan that will satisfy his hunger for revenge—and his craving to have sweet Siena at his mercy.

Phase one: Dig up every detail about Siena, from her dwindling funds to her brother’s shady connections. Phase two: Back her into a corner with one way out—to accept him as her sole benefactor in exchange for her total submission.

Ethan fully expected to take diabolical pleasure in Siena’s body, tears, and flesh. But he never anticipated she’d sink so deeply under his skin, that losing her would destroy what’s left of his soul.

Note: Twisted Proposal is a standalone romance in the Central Florida Stories – Club Nexus universe. Contains D/s dynamics, intense scenes, and lots of dirty talk.
