Title: Twisted
Author: Mandi Beck
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: October 19, 2018
Three friends walk into a bar . . . One walks out the fake girlfriend of a hot, bearded Scotsman.
Fannin McGuire is up for promotion at Nolan and Krane Enterprises, but first she has to make it through her stepsister’s wedding. To Fannin’s ex. Yep. Her ex-fiancé is about to be her new brother-in-law. One big happy family. And lucky her, she also gets to work with him.
While Fannin is putting all of her energy into her career, her ex is putting all of his energy into making her life hell. Just when Fannin is sure she’ll be attending the wedding without a plus one, in walks Jasper James to save the day. He’s the bartender at the Iron Flask, the account she’s trying to land, and everything she didn’t know she needed or wanted. Before Fannin knows what’s happening, Jasper is playing knight in shining armor and she likes it. And him. A lot. With his smooth Scottish accent, ridiculously good looks, and that beard? She doesn’t stand a chance.
Jasper isn’t in the habit of rescuing anyone. But when Fannin is confronted by her ex about her lack of a date for his upcoming nuptials, Jasper can’t help but step in. Her wild hair, violet eyes, and killer legs have him doing a few things he normally wouldn’t. Never mind that he shouldn’t be getting involved with the woman in charge of making the bar a global success.
Their fake relationship becomes more real than either thought it would. Now they’re at the mercy of their feelings when truths are twisted, and the lies don’t taste as smooth as the whisky.
Elizabeth's Review
4.5 stars -Super Fun Read
Review Copy Provided by Author
This fun, quick read was originally released as part of a kindle world, but has been repackaged as a stand-alone novella.
This is a little different than a typical book by Ms. Beck, it definitely has more humor than I am used to seeing from her, but she nailed it!
Jasper is definitely a sexy Alpha type hero and he made me swoon as he took care of Fannin and provided the emotional support she wasn't seeing elsewhere. Fannin is a smart and sassy leading lady. I loved the little digs she got in as she stood up for herself.
They are an awesome couple and the story in Twisted is just long enough that I felt I knew them and could root for them to get things figured out. The newly packaged version of Twisted has additional content that gives more in terms of what happens to Jasper and Fannin.
This was a quick read - just perfect for a afternoon, especially when needing an escape.
Mandi Beck has been an avid reader all of her life. A deep love for books always had her jotting down little stories on napkins, notebooks, and her hand. As an adult she was further submerged into the book world through book clubs and the epicness of social media. It was then that she graduated to writing her stories on her phone and then finally on a proper computer.
A wife, mother to two rambunctious and somewhat rotten boys, and stepmom to two great girls away at college, she shares her time with her husband in Chicago where she was born and raised. Mandi is a diehard hockey fan and blames the Blackhawks when her deadlines are not met even though her favorite hockey player calls her…mom.
