Twisted (Dark Protectors)

Very predictable. Didn't develop the love story between them, just went off the premis that they were in love before so they should be in love now. Still like the series, story needed to be told, I just think it could have been more developed.

Rebecca Zanetti does it again.book 5 in Dark Protectors series. if you love paranormal shape shifters get this book.we finally find out Maggie's background.Maggie and Terrent are great together .Jase (coming out later in the year) is also in this book leaving you wanting more.this is a short story but well worth the money and time.

In past novels Terrent was portrayed as a badie, but in his own novel, he's just a wolf with special fighting abilities. I do not feel that Terrent and Maggie are soul mates. I just don't feel that deep connection between the two main characters. A wolf who left his future mate with the vampires for ten years so he could do his job is definitely not the possessive alpha wolves I'm use to reading about. He spends his time trying to figure out where to leave her, where she'll feel safe, when he goes off to do his hunting / job. Uh? Terrent is not possessive or domineering and Maggie comes off as wimpy. I didn't expect that from her character at all. She's clumsy and pronged to immediate panic attacks. Terrent would not deviate from his plan to leave Maggie behind while he's working, his mate couldn't even make him change his mind, but the pack gave him another solution and then he folded. So much for the needs of his mate!!

This was a great story but almost totally predictable. I really like a story with more of a plot to it. I will try one more book by this author and if it is the same way, that will probably be the last one.

This installment in the the dark protectors series was about shifters. did not enjoy it as much as the vampire storyline. also, didnt think there was enough information on the main characters maggie and terrent. why did he stay away for ten years...what was their story/feelings before...not a compelling read.

This is number 5.5 in the Dark Protectors Series. I haven't read the first five, but I will certainly be searching them out, and will be anxiously awaiting Book 6, Shadowed (available for pre-order, comes out October 3, 2013).

I stayed up until after midnight reading Twisted.

Even though I haven't read the others, I was quickly drawn into Ms. Zanetti's world of shifters. I like when an author can bring new readers to an understanding of their world and the past goings on without beating us over the head with it. Ms. Zanetti had a very natural way of bringing the past histories together in this new story.

Poor Maggie. She's been without her memory for ten years. She's been learning to fight, thanks to the vampires she's lived with and despite her nearly overwhelming clumsiness. The king sends her to find out why a vaccine, in the hands of her fellow wolf shifters, has been contaminated. Her host, Terrent, gets to protect her immediately when three wolves, with no scent, try to take her. Good thing her vampire friend, Jase (and the MC for Shadowed), is there to help.

To her shock, and a bit of hope, Terrent tells Maggie that they agreed to be mated just before the events that occurred to steal her memory. There is something about him that she's drawn to. Something that makes her think that this might be true.

Their coming together, rather to test those theories, is beyond hot. Totally makes this for a more mature reader.

While this book is in the middle of a series, it stands alone. Yet it still makes me want to know more. Some threads are tied up, but we really need to find out about Jase in his book, Shadowed!

Yes, indeed, I'd read this one again!

After being rescued from the Kurjans Maggie has lived with the vampires, in the Kayrs compound, but now she needs to spend some time around other wolf shifters in the hopes it will help her with her lost memories. Somehow Alpha wolf Terrent Vilks is tied to her past, but he refuses to say how. He wants her to remember on her own. Shifters can live a very long time, so he has plenty of patience. However, after years, his patience is starting to wear thin. It’s time Maggie remember her promise to him.

Another decent read in the Dark Protector series. Even though it’s short, it doesn’t lack in action, mystery and hotness. For once we get a view outside the Kayrs compound and focus on some of the other players in this series. It makes for a nice change, no matter how much I love the Kayrs clan and their mates. I love the reveal at the end, too. lolol I look forward to seeing more of Maggie and Terrent.

Best. One. Yet. I fluffin loved it! This is not a standalone and won't make sense unless you start with book 1. We've gotten glimpses of Maggie and Terrent in previous books and I was pleasantly surprised to see that Terrent is a big ole softy! He came off so cold in previous books. He's still very much a dominant male and quite deadly but he is also super protective of the people he cares about. It makes for a very pleasing combination as the Hero of this book. Maggie wasn't really a surprise. We got more of her character in previous books than we did of Terrent and she was true to that character in this one. We do learn more about her past and what possible could have been done to her by the Kurjans. The author didn't reveal all secrets though, so we still have some surprises ahead. I really loved this one!

Rebecca Zanetti definitely knows a thing about creating anticipation! I have been excited for Maggie and Terrent's story since I first saw them face off in Consumed. I love that Maggie is this klutzy, amnesiac wolf who still manages to get the upper hand over a big bad enforcer like Terrent. I just can't believe he has waited so long the pick things back up.

It's been five years since these two have seen each other. And we find out right away, there is more to their attraction than we ever realized. Terrence KNEW Maggie before she lost her memory. Even better (or worse, depending on how you look at it) --they were in love. Now, he is ready to put their relationship back on the front burner. This, as she tries to infiltrate his pack, to sniff out who is behind some inoculations that were tampered with.

I thought it was cool that there was more depth to their connection, but I had some trouble with the idea of Terrent staying away from his great love for 10 years. Yeah, his job is important and all, but that bothered me. Setting that aside, I did enjoy the sexual tension and the hot sex between these two. I could do without the spanking/ dominating scene, but the other encounters were great. There is also some pretty good banter. Maggie is sassy and smart. I like that she gives as good as she gets with Terrent. I also like that she isn't powerless in their relationship, even though Terrent is so strong and alpha.

Over the course of the story, we learn about Maggie's history --and Terrent's too-- which is kind of interesting. (I wonder if that is going to be incorporated more into the series.) And we get a few Jase and Dage cameos, which I was happy about. The ending takes a bit of an obvious route, but in the end, I was pretty satisfied with how it all turned out. At first, I was disappointed this love story would not have a full length book, but I think it was served well as a novella.

Rating: B

This was a more light-hearted, or fun read in this established series. It could also easily be read as a stand-alone title. If you did not know about the war or Maggie’s history, a reader could still enjoy this novella. Of course though, knowing the whole picture and background make it even more of a delight to read. This was the first time we have really dealt with the wolf shifters in this world, and while I think I prefer the big cats, they were interesting too.

Two books back we got a little taste of the chemistry between Terrent and Maggie. Maggie had drugged Terrent to keep him from killing the mate of her roommate and friend. Of course being a strong alpha male in a paranormal romance series you knew there would be payback and that it would probably involve lots of hot steamy sex. This book didn’t disappoint on that front. For such a short story there was actually too much time spent in carnal pleasures for my taste, I would have liked to have delved a little more into their history a bit. Sure the sex scenes were fun, but I was looking for more substance in their relationship building.

The community where Terrent took Maggie was kinda fun. Of course some of the male members were seriously messed-up old-fashion alpha males, but the women in the community were a hoot. They added some quirkiness to the story that likened things up quite a bit and had me chuckling.

The ending was sweet and I am glad that they got a h.e.a. It would have been fun to stick around a bit longer, like most of the females in this world Maggie is going to give Terrent a hard time. It could have been fun to watch his world spin out of control and turn upside down. Up next is Jase’s story and I can’t wait to read how the author gives this tortured soul his h.e.a. Of all the characters in this world he definitely deserves one.

Twisted happens to be book 5.5 in the Dark Protector series though it actually happens to be the first in the series that I have read. I met Rebecca a few months ago at a World-Building workshop that I was moderating and was able to get amazing writing advice from her which turned my interest towards her books. I stumbled upon Twisted through NetGalley and just had to give it a shot and I am so glad I did. I was a bit nervous about it being book 5.5 but honestly I wasn't missing anything as far as information or world-building that left me hanging. It can absolutely be read as a stand alone though trust me when I say that you won't be able to stop at Twisted. You're going to want to read more and thankfully Rebecca has 7 full length books and 2 novellas in the series for me to devour. Twisted centers around Maggie and Terrent. Two wolf-shifters with a surprising connection that leads them through some interesting twists and turns while Maggie tries to figure out who she is and Terrent tries to win back the girl who's heart he had already won before. I loved the story and I loved Maggie, especially when she punches Terrent in the face for being an idiot. Go Girl Power! This one was a quick read that I really enjoyed. If you aren't familiar with Rebecca's works this one will suck you in. The small peeks at Jase that I got in this novella left me wanting so much more and I can't wait to find out what his story is in upcoming works.

Maggie is a wolf shifter who was experimented on and as a result she is missing a huge chunk of memory, her past is a mystery to everyone except maybe Terrent Vilks. Terrent & Maggie have a strained relationship, she kidnapped him once and he has never forgiven her for it - for some reason Maggie hears his voice in her dreams, or at least she thinks it's his voice, can he know more about her past than he is letting on? Now that all factions have manipulated Maggie into agreeing to spend time with the Wolf Shifters will she finally get the answers she needs? Will she be able to paste things back together in her mind and hopefully discover herself along the way?

Terrent is a strong alpha wolf who has definitely met his match in the form of Maggie, she may not know who she was but she has spent the last decade living and training with vampires. She is no pushover and Terrent isn't one to give up until he gets what he wants - an explosive combination perhaps?

I loved these two together, there was a lot going on outwith their relationship with the investigation into the saboteur of the inoculations, dominance fights amongst the pack, teenage werewolf cheerleaders and Maggie being hunted by demons and her past!

Rebecca threw in a few surprises into this novella and I loved how the whole story played out. I finished this one with a huge smile on my face, and I really can't wait to read Jace's story.

I tend to try and write reviews without spoilers but this one may be hard to do that with. I loved this story. The characters are two that I have been wanting a story from for several books into this series, which begins with Fated. This book is a novella, I really wish it had been a full length novel, but appreciate Ms Zanetti not adding filler in order to do so. I was caught from page one and couldn't put it down until it was finished. Maggie and Terrant are both strong characters that have been important to the entire series thus far. I loved that they had a history that no one/readers (well maybe not NO one.... since a certain King seemed to know everything already!) knew about. I loved their history and the depth of love Terrant has for Maggie. The humor in Zanetti's writing is always enjoyable as is the heat. Jace also appears in this book a little bit, which wasn't nearly enough to hold me over until his book is out (he's next in the series) I cant wait to see where the series goes from here. Rebecca is one of my top favorite authors, she never disappoints!

This is a Dark Protectors novella book 5.5 but, have no fear you don't need to have read the first five in this series to enjoy this sexy little read.

Twisted begins with two people sitting opposite each other. The feeling in the room is one of irritation and annoyance. That won't last for too long though. Maggie, a wolf shifter has lost all her memories up until ten years ago. Anything before that is a blank. She is also a wolf shifter and has lived with vampires during the last ten years to train and learn.

There is something disturbingly familiar about this man/shifter that sits in front of her. Terrent, with his beautiful accent that stirs memories has no problems remembering his Maggie. She loved him once. The question is can he make her love him again?

This is a sexy, sweet and funny story with great characters and if you haven't read the series before, like me, you will certainly want to.

I can't wait to slip into this world and see what I have been missing.

Twisted

Rebecca weaves a unique and thrilling world with her Dark Protector Series. Twisted was a short but very heated read telling the tale of Terrent and Maggie. The little(ish) secret(s) we learn are very unexpected but I was captivated with all the twists and turns.

Maggie was infected with the virus by the Kurjans 10 years ago. With the help of the Kayrs family, Maggie managed to escape the Werewolf effects but hadn't regained her memory loss. To keep her safe, she has been living and training with them but the time has come to go back to the wolves. Terrent needs help investigating who is contaminating the inoculation supply at wolf headquarters and Maggie is the perfect person to play detective. The medicine is their only protection against the virus and someone is sabotaging the shipments.

Maggie and Terrent met a few years back when he attempted to take her from the Kayrs compound to live with her own kind. Things hadn't gone as Terrent expected back then but he would do everything in his power to get his way this time. It was time for Maggie to learn the truth after all these years. One truth is unveiled and another is unleashed when a rival pack comes to claim Maggie resulting in a battle for headquarters and Maggie's heart.

Maggie must decide to stay and fight for what she wants or run and hide.

'His eyes morphed to wolf mode.
Oh crap.
He nodded "Okay, you want all of me?"
She gulped "Yes"
"Alright little wolf. I suggest you run."'

Explosive tension and heat between Terrent and Maggie with a nice little twist at the end. Loved it!

I adore this series. Rebecca never fails to write the most awesome alphas. I loved it. So good. Faithful couple even after 10 yr separated and amnesia by the heroine. Can't wait to see where the next story will take us. Jace and Janie need time! ?

What is a werewolf to do when his mate not only has no recollection of her past but of him as well? Well if her brain can't remember your love, then maybe you can force her heart to instead.

Maggie has been a part of the Dark Protector's series since the very beginning. An unofficial member of the Karys clan, having lost all of her memories, the brothers' whom rescued her from the Kurjans have been the only family she has known. Though she always dream of a male with a Scottish brogue, she never once dreamt a face. Terrent Vilks has been waiting patiently for ten long years, hoping against hope that when Maggie finally healed, so would her memory. That still hasn't happened. So when Maggie gets an assignment to find whomever has been sabotaging the shifter inoculation within his very own territory, he decides its time to claim his mate, memories or not. And when the saboteur is found out, let's just say readers will most definitely be surprised.

Though only a short, Twisted is full of action, heat, humor and a great story. Fans of this series will LOVE Twisted, and readers only now picking up this series' will be running to the store, or their tablet, to jump in to the rest of this fantastic world of the Dark Protector's.

Twisted is a novella, book 5.5 in the Dark Protectors series by Rebecca Zanetti . Vampires, Wolves, and hotties, oh my! Dark Protectors are 100% alpha male yummy goodness. Maggie spent the last decade being tortured by the Kurjans, the mortal (immortal?) enemies of the Dark Protectors. She has no memory of her life before she was kidnapped ten years ago. Maggie is trying to get her life back when Terrent Vilks drops the bomb on her. They were supposed to be mated before she was taken. They loved each other. She cannot remember knowing him, so how could she have loved him? Terrent doesn't care that she has lost those memories. They can build new ones. So long as no one kills them first, that is.

A fast paced read from page one, Twisted grabs you and never lets go. There is enough action to make you forget this is supposed to be a novella, not a full length novel. Steam practically rises off the pages when Maggie and Terrent are together. This book is the paranormal equivalent to the movie The Vow with a MUCH better ending. If you have not read the Dark Protectors, I recommend them. I am waiting for Janie's story, book 7, which is available in 2014. It is sure to be the best one yet.

This book was just about as good as the others. Almost. Enjoyed it, but it went too quickly. There were a couple of little twists, but not as interesting as the vamps. I understand that the shifters are very similar to animals and that is why the plot went the direction it went. I guess i wanted more human and less animal. Also think expansion on the mind altering stuff would weave this story more intimately with the plot of the series. I do know fans wanted more shifter story and the author DID deliver a great story. Yet, l also found one of the HUGE plot lines with the virus disappointing. With all the different nations and the virus vaccine, i felt the plot regarding the vaccine tampering was trivialized and not up the standard of the series. In other words, i did not find the explanation or storyline believable at all and certainly NOT worthy of this series. Felt a little "phoned in"!

I actually couldn't wait to read this novella. I was curious to find out just how Maggie, the heroine, and Terrent, the hero, were linked in earlier books. Needless to say, I hopped on this one when I saw it was available.

In my opinion, Maggie is an awesome heroine, rather uncoordinated, but awesome. Terrent, mmm, Terrent. I love growly, alpha males with a hidden agenda. Though, I loved the vulnerability he exhibited when it comes to Maggie.

The side story with the pack Terrent lived with was pretty entertaining to read as well. In particular, two wily cheerleaders with ninja reflexes. Actually, that part of the book had me laughing out loud. I truly love Rebecca Zanetti's protective, possessive, alpha males. Plus, I really thought this was a great, short addition to the Dark Protectors Series. I'm glad that Maggie finally found her happily ever after. She deserved it.

If you haven't read the Dark Protectors Series, I recommend you start with the first in the series, Fated. I've really enjoyed every book I've read in this series and look forward to the next.

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I was thrilled when I received the ARC for Twisted. I am a BIG fan of this series. Rebecca Zanetti has worked her literary magic again. I couldn't stop reading once I started. Twisted is book 5.5 of The Dark Protectors series. I do not recommend reading if you have not read the previous books. This Novella is about Terrent Vilks and Maggie. We met these characters in previous books and I don't know about you all but I was hoping there was romance budding between the two. But I did not expect the Twist in the story. The twist being that Terrent knows Maggie and they have a serious past.

"I want you to remember me from before you were kidnapped ten years ago."

Maggie, the smart-assed, clumsy wolf shifter, whose memory has evaded her for the last ten years, is sent to Wolf shifter headquarters to ferret out the traitor sabotaging the vaccinations. She has spent the last 10 years with the vampires and not with a wolf pack. Excited and nervous to be around her "people", she's hoping to help the Realm by catching the perpetrator. Maggie is taken to Terrent Vilks. The man who makes her feel strange things, and quite frankly makes her nervous. Well, she did take him hostage once.
As head of the Bane's Council, Terrent is in charge of hunting werewolves and investigating Shifter affairs. He's all Alpha male and ready to claim his mate. He's finally gotten Maggie where he wants her. With him but, she is one stubborn woman. Can he get her to trust him? Fall in Love with him? Or perhaps maybe, her memories will return. One thing is for sure, she is his. He's waited 10 years, little wolf.

"I own you, little wolf. Never forget it."

Maggie is caught between what she remembers and what she's being told. How could he not tell her that they had a past! He wants her to mate with him. Maggie is having no parts of the mating but she can't fight the feelings of lust and maybe a little something else. Terrent has to step up to plate immediately, protecting Maggie. Her pack has found out she was alive. They want her. The Raze pack, who they are currently staying with is unsettled, a new alpha is about to take over. As things get hot and heavy between Maggie and Terrent Maggie begins to feel her love for Terrent. She wonders if she really needs her memories to create a future. Create a family? Find a pack?

"Yeah. On some level, she remembered him. He'd been right. She'd loved him. Hell, maybe she still did. Seeing him taking down three wolves heated the blood in her veins. As an animal shifter, he was all alpha. The perfect mate to protect the children she wanted to have. Someday."

It's a short story but it packs a punch. We experience the intense lust between the two wolves and his dominate nature. Her sassiness antagonizing his in charge nature. Who doesn't love an alpha male? One word - HOT. I definitely love seeing them challenged. All that mixed together and it lead to some steamy moments. Oh, Yeah.

"Air swept against her as they maneuvered to the rear of the cabin. The scent of Scotch, musk and male filled her senses. Her butt slapped the hardwood desk in his study. Then he was on her. Hands in her hair, mouth taking hers........"

Let's not forget some kick ass fighting and you have a sexy, action adventure. I loved this story. Terrent has always been a character that struck my curiosity. And poor Maggie, had no clue who she is or where she was from. In this story we find closure for them. I'm happy they got a story. Every book in this series is so well written and integrated with the others, you really feel that you are always in touch with all the characters, forming a bond with the Realm. I highly recommend this series if you love alphas and the paranormal genre. I give this book 4.5 novella stars. I'll be waiting not so patiently for Jase's story. Squeee!

I read A LOT of books and I am always glad to be able to give a raving review. They can't all be winners but R Zanetti writes a winner. I really enjoyed this book and the entire series. The books grabbed my attention and kept me interesting. The main characters were interesting. Although it is an alpha-male type book, the females retain their intelligence and dignity. I hate that many of the strong or dominant male hero books now reduce women to brainless subs. Its fun to find a title with great romance that doesn't sacrifice a quality story to get it. The sci fi creatures are awesome. The writing is excellent and I cannot wait for the next book.

Rating: 5 Stars - Perfect

Rebecca Zanetti you Rock! Twisted is another amazing addition to The Dark Protector series. I have read many series and usually with a series there will always be one or a few that do not rate as well as the others, because a character did not catch my attention in earlier novels or the story line fell flat. Not happening in The Dark Protector series. I have read all Dark Protectors novels and novella's, rated them all 5 stars and Rebecca Zanetti has done it again with a 5 star read with Twisted. Thank You Rebecca for always having likable characters right from the beginning that I find my self interested in wanting to know more about them and look forward to their story.

Maggie has been a mystery since being rescued. Loved how we got some back story on where she came from and what was done to her when she was captured by the Kurjans. She had a stubborn streak and a smart mouth before she lost her memory. Her personality is still the same and glad she never lost her personality trait.

I have been lusting over Terrent since he was first introduce in early novels with his over protective Alpha Male attitude. He also has been a mystery as why he was so into Maggie and bent out of shape to get her to his pack. They knew each other before she lost her memory but he is keeping some important info from their past inside. Did not see that twist coming and loved how it all played out.

Loved how Maggie goes head to head with Terrent and never backs down. Their chemistry is hot with some Fan-Yourself moments. They are fun, playful and sexy together.

Jase story is up next in Shadowed (Dark Protectors #6) and can not wait for his story.

I adored this book. It is a must read for fans of Vampires, shifters and demons. In this new book we get to learn more of the Shifters and a different pack that has the ability to mask their scent.

This is the story of Maggie and Terrent. Maggie is a shifter who has lost her memory after she was kidnapped and experimented on by the Kurjans. She was rescued by the Vampires. Terrent let Maggie go to regain her memory and find herself. Terrent figured 10 years was enough and now he is back to claim his mate. Terrent and Maggie must work together to find out who is after her. They also must find out who is tampering with the inoculations before they do any more harm to the pack.

Terrent is truly an Alpha and while he's not looking for a pack a pack is looking for him to lead them. Maggie has never recovered her memories since the Kurjans experimented on her with Virus 27. She's sent to unravel the mystery of the inoculations that had been tampered with. While doing that, she discovers a mystery of her past and finds happiness with an old love. This is a "feel good" story about family by choice, courage, forgiveness and persistence.

Meet - finally - Maggie and Terrent's story. She's got amnesia and, what do you know?, they had an history before that happened and they were to be mated. Now Terrent wants they to be mated but Maggie is a stubborn woman.
This love story was a blessing to my heart, Rebecca Zanetti, again, took me by surprise and I found myself deeply involved in this novella. This series is one of my favorites since the beginning and each time I read a new story, I fall in love once again, as the first time.

I absolutely loved this book! Terrent the strong alpha male werewolf hunter and Maggie the little wolf with no memory of her past come together under the guise of finding the person who is sabotaging the anti virus. Terrent and Maggie have smoking hot chemistry and they were both strong characters. You just need to it back and watch the sparks fly. I loved that Ms. Zanetti brought in several new characters that were so much fun. This book is a fabulous addition to a great series. I can't wait to read Jase's book.

I loved this book just as I have all the others in this series. The only thing disappointing is how short it was. I can never get enough of the Dark Protectors. Terrent was the perfect alpha male with a very overprotective side as well as a passionate, loving side. Maggie was adorable as usual and stronger than she thinks. Their love makes a great story along with the suspense that is always thrown in and done very well. Loved it. I highly recommend not only this book but the entire series.

Maggie is a wolf shifter who has lived with the vampires for the last ten years, after they rescued her. She remembers nothing past ten years ago after being kidnapped by Kurjans. Terrent is leader of the Bane Council, they hunt and kill werewolves. She goes to the wolf compound to find out who is sabotaging the shots to keep the wolves from the Virus-27. Terrent reveals secrets about who she used to be.
Great story and a lot of rough sex.

This writer has the ability to describe her characters in a way to make you want to know them. Her action scenes made me feel as if I was standing right there. Some of the characters made me laugh and shake my head. There were times when I could only say ....wow. The story is short, but don't let that stop you from reading about Maggie. I look forward to reading more from this author.

This book is shorter than the other books in the series so I was able to finish it faster. This is about Maggie instead of the Kyrs brothers.... I don't like it as much as the other novels in the series but I still enjoy it a lot. It has all the elements of the Dark Protectors novels... It's sexy, suspenseful and very dramatic.

As a novella, it was a short read and enjoyable. It has too many gaps and not enough history about Maggie's and Terrent's lives....however, many more opportunities for hot sex, lol, and which explains why it is a novella. If you enjoy the other stories or the total Alpha male with a legitimate female, you probably would enjoy this novella.

If you are looking for a great vampire/shifter/witch, etc. series, try out this author. I highly recommend this author. Great alpha heroes, stubborn, but smart heroines, and lots of adventure. All of this series have been wonderful but this was my favorite. I fell in love with Terrent and Maggie!

I downloaded this through Kindle Unlimited. I truly love this series. Each story is different, but the story lines are awesome, the characters how such an intense connection and the sex scenes are WOW! Hot, sexy, alpha men - whew!!

The latest gift from author Zanetti, Twisted, continues the Dark Protectors saga with the perfect amount of steamy romance and adventure. I am addicted to this series and its characters, which makes waiting for the next book in the series, Shadowed, too much torture as it isn't due to be released until October. What's a girl to do? I have no other choice but to re-read the entire series starting with Fated.

Rebecca Zanetti, has become one of my favored authors, I love her story's, wolf's and there mate how romantic & sexy is that. This book was good, you must ready in ready for the next book in( dark protectors).

I thought it was a cute story finishing Maggie's time in the series. I liked the love between her and her mate and it was pretty steady and steamy for a novella. Quick weekend read and made me look forward to Jase's HEA!

Excellent continuation in Rebecca's Dark Protector series. I really enjoyed the wolf shifter pack. Terrent is a great mixture of alpha male but with just enough tenderness and caring to make a girl fall in love fast. Would have given Twisted 5 stars but every love scene was hard, fast, aggressive and very dominant. Making ever love scene read the same. I like to read about a guy that can be self-confident enough to give a girl a tender, slow and sensual love scene too.

Terrent and Maggie are wolf shifters who have been separated for ten years due to her capture and torture by demons and her subsequent memory loss. This is a wild, erotic novella that will get your blood pumping and leave you breathless.
