This is the third book in the Central Florida Stories. This is an enemies to lovers story with revenge. Ethan is seeking revenge and pulls Siena, who is innocent in everything, as his pawn in his twisted plans. Ethan and Siena’s relationship is not what Ethan intended. This whole series has such great characters.

This is the first book in the Central Florida Stories. I found it very intriguing. This is a story of love and revenge. Joe wants revenge on Hunter for the Dear John letter she sent to his friend who commuted suicide by combat. Hunter has secrets that cause her to push men away. Things do go exactly as planned for Joe after he devises a plan for revenge. I loved the way that the characters developed in this story.

Ethan and Siena are from different places in the same world. Fashionista closeted masochist and mafia family club owner find each other in strange circumstances. I love stories like this because it shows that love can be found no matter where you are in life and what culture and environment you’re involved with… and I’m not gonna lie, but the chemistry is insane between these two.. I am grateful to be able to read this story for myself.

This was a twisted 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning. This is Ethan and Siena’s story. Ethan has built his own world that meets his desires. But when Siena comes into the picture his plans change, to some very dark desirable ones. He has a need for revenge on his ex, but what happens when those plans start to look a little different? Siena has some baggage that she is working through. She ends up being the perfect sub for Ethan, will he be able to let her go when he’s done? Overall I LOVED this book. I really like the genre and the twists and turns. We get so much in this story, secrets, revenge, steamy scenes and so much more. The chemistry between the characters was great. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. This book can be read as a stand alone but I suggest reading from the beginning. I look forward to reading more from this author and series. 1-click and get started today.

Wow!! I was not expecting the level of kink in this book. I can’t say that I am offended, just unexpected. What starts out as a method of revenge for Ethan quickly turns into so much more. Innocent, not in the inexperienced way but the not guilty way, Siena accidentally walked into a hornets’ nest not knowing she was allergic.
Siena was just looking to find a way to support her family after they had lost everything and sought funding from the Big Seven. It was a last ditch effort. It did not turn out the way she expected. Instead of gaining 7 investors, she gained one benefactor but it will cost her more than just a percentage of her business. Is she willing to pay what is being asked?
Ethan was hellbent on revenge and righting the wrong that had been done that he lost his perspective. When he meets Siena, it becomes about more than just taking his pound of flesh. He never expected to feel protective. He never expected to feel possessive. It was just supposed to be easy, business like, casual, dirty sex. He could not let Siena in. It was too costly. Her family had left a wake of hurt the last time he let one of them in. When Siena’s brother puts her in danger, the situation changes. Ethan just is not willing to admit that his feelings are also changing.
There are some unexpected twists in this story. I hope that we have not seen the last of Strega, but in a totally good way. There are some unanswered questions. I guess that will bring you back for the next one. Couldn’t put it down. Excellent read!!

This may be my favorite book in the series thus far! While it is the third book in the Central Florida Stories series, it can absolutely be read as a standalone. You will likely find yourself picking up the previous books though because Victoria Saccenti will hook you in the beginning and never let go. The story of Ethan and Siena is an incredibly spicy enemies-to-lovers adventure that you won’t want to put down. I was completely engrossed once I picked it up and finished it in one day. I couldn’t focus on anything else at hand, only Twisted Proposal. Do yourself a favor and pick this book up and lose yourself in this twisty emotional rollercoaster!

This is the third instalment of the Central Florida Stories series, focusing on Ethan and Siena. Each book in this series can be read as a standalone, but I advise reading from book one.
As with the previous two books, the author has managed to enhance the reading experience with descriptive language and a smooth writing style. The characters are well-written, and you can’t help but get invested in them. Both Ethan and Siena show great growth and development as the story progresses from the difficulties of their pasts to their current predicaments.
This was another enjoyable read from the author and now I’ve come to the end I’ll be exploring other series by them.

Twisted Proposal
By: Victoria Saccenti
This is the third book in the Central Florida Stories. I have read every book in the series and I have to say that I am disappointed to see it come to an end, as it is just absolutely amazing. One of my favorite parts of this series is the characters. The depth of the characters is incredible. The book is filled with fantastic dialogue that drives the storyline. This plot is definitely dark and full of twists and turns. However, it is the kind that sucks you in at the beginning and you just want to keep reading and ignore all of real life. In my opinion, those are the very best kind of stories. I definitely recommend this!

All consuming. This is the first book I have read by Victoria Saccenti, and though it is the third book in the series I have never read the previous two but plan to go back and read them. Twisted Proposal is just that, twisted but not exactly in all the ways you would expect. Told from both Ethan and Siena’s perspectives it pulls back layer after layer of secrets and twists to keep you hungry for more information.
Ethan was born into an empire of wealth but found his own interests and only stepped into his father’s role when asked. Siena, also born into money, had a hardship that took everything from her including her parents’ deaths. Now with a dream to start her own fashion design brand Siena seeks out investors. With some start up from her first cousin Joyce, later discovering it was stolen funds from her husband, Siena seeks the investment of The Big Seven. Ethan, the one person that has a deep-seated need for revenge on Joyce, ends up being the only one that can help her, but he has some terms of his own. With no choice and her brother going missing Siena accepts. Everything begins coming to light when Bart, Siena’s brother, goes missing and the mob comes looking for payment on his debts. Joyce, having cheated on Ethan when they were in their twenties, over ten years ago, feels that he is still hers. Under it all Ethan has been both determined to take out his revenge on Joyce by using Siena, and entranced with her in every way, from her beauty to her personality he can’t get enough of her.
Will Ethan get his revenge or let it go? Can Siena succeed in getting her brand started and turning her family’s money issues around? Will the truth of Joyce and the depth of her schemes ever be brought to light? The characters the author creates keeps you guessing on what they will do next and how they will respond to the circumstances that keep piling up against them. Enemies to lovers has always been my favorite troupe and this book checked all the boxes. Twists. Erotic. Complex. It has it all. I look forward to going back and reading more from this author starting with the first two books in this series.

Twisted Proposal is the wonderfully written story that centers around Sienna Maynard and Ethan Ashford. Ethan has been scorned by members of Sienna’s family. When Sienna and her brother Bart come to the Seven to get backing for her design company, Ethan wants to be sure to be in control.
Sienna will not bow to Ethan’s “charms” but learns of his dark desires; while discovering her own. These characters draw you into their world of love, hate and deceit.
Although this book is part of a series, I read it as a stand alone and was not disappointed.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Ethan Ashford is an enigma, coming from money he has the world open to him, but as a private person he likes to play in private, with his friends they created a world where people can come and play. In a community of Million-dollar houses sits the Nexus club, on the outside a mansion and on the inside a world of BDSM and role play.
Although one night his father asks him to attend a Gala on his behalf, Ethan is not prepared for what is going to happen, there at the bar is his arch nemesis the one woman who he detests and will break, but once getting closer to her he discovers he has made a mistake and it is a relation. Ethan then hatches a plan to seek revenge on the innocent Siena, but when he is inflicting his plan, he does not imagine that she will crawl under his skin and plant herself in his heart.
Siena is just looking for investors when her cousin Joyce invested some money, she was hoping the other half would come from her brother but when she finds out he is broke and owes people monies she is doomed until he walks in and offers a proposition to solve all her problems but the only thing is can she give herself fully to Ethan and become his sub for money.
Ethan has popped up in the other books along the way and I am so glad you get to see him in his full story. Ethan to me has always been coasting along the way not really finding that someone he can totally open to, but seeing how the relationship between the two of them grows from Enemies to lovers is lovely to read. The overall struggle of Ethan in the end to try and reconcile the way he wanted to use her to then understand the feelings for her was brilliant.
I really can’t wait to read the next book.

Twisted Proposal by Victoria Saccenti
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
What begins as a plan for revenge quickly takes twists and turns that have the characters questioning things around them. It is filled with family secrets, lies, and betrayal…but also explores the dom/sub genre of s/m which is not often described. As Ethan and Siena go forward in their very unorthodox business arrangement, Ethan is able to demonstrate the side of himself that he is aware of…while Siena discovers what she enjoys and desires in the bedroom (or other places). Add in the mafia, building a business from the ground up, and a jilted ex….and the story just keeps getting better.
I found myself fully immersed in this story form the moment I started reading it. These characters had sizzling chemistry from the first time they meet. The secondary characters each added to the story. Ethan and Siena grew as the story progressed…each having their own reasons in the beginning…and those reasons morphing along the way into feelings (even if neither of them wants to admit it). It was a good story that I enjoyed reading!

This was absolutely a very dark and sexy read. I had not read anything from the author before and it looks like there are two other books in the series that I am definitely going to need to check out. This definitely had some darker tones to it and the author’s vivid description of the BDSM lifestyle is extremely sexy. The author created multifaceted characters that just suck you right into the story. This is a very sexy enemies to lovers story and seeing how Ethan and Sienna start out and the progression is just so well written. This is definitely a must read and I can’t wait to check out her other works.

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 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 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!
The Passion of 3 by Ariella Talix
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Passion of 3 is the intriguing second book in The Perfect Number series and is an erotic romance MMF tale. This is a spin-off from The Rule of 3 and is spicy second-chance story. You don’t have to read them in order as they are standalone stories, but I would read them in order anyway. You never know what you are missing out on if you don’t.
They were once rock stars, best friends, lovers, confidants and their everything. That was until a misunderstanding tore them apart. Now after a decade they have a chance to put it right. Have they matured enough to leave the past behind and once again come together to build what they always hoped they could be?
The Passion of 3 an interesting read and has great characters. There are sizzling connections as well as the passion that the Ariella brought to create a vivid and lively atmosphere of a horse race at the Kentucky Derby.
With pain and sorrow, fear and worry, hope and want, love and lust, as well as kidnapping and a bit of suspense and mystery. There is also a surprise at the end of the story.
All in all, The Passion of 3 is a good read so make sure you check it out.

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.
