My heart breaks for her, because as strong as she is, she is completely devistated by how Scott ended their relationship. Trust is not something she has with almost anyone, and she basically shut down all of her emotions to keep herself safe. Alexa and Scott are both damaged, they battle quite a bit and she is often raging her own war in her head. The sexual desire to be submissive, but the fact is that in her business world she is dominant. Scott is her one weakness and has the ultimate power to break her completely.
The sex and foreplay is very descriptive, and completely provocative. I personally loved the verbal sparing most. It is definitely not your typical love story, but what a story it is.

There wasn't too much rehashing of their past but we are given what we need to see why they love and hate each other. Those important key points in their history that changed them The characters in this book are so strong which gets them in trouble. Wildfire ignites and it grows. Scotty, is well Scotty, once you read it you will understand he is his own definition.
He is a alpha, hot, controlling, scared, tortured guy who says he will never love. Alexa, I want to be Alexa. She is such a changed character from when she meets Scott in the beginning. I loved that she grew stronger and stands up for herself. The little twist that happens is something I love. You don't expect it but just shows you Scott doesn't have control. Brett, I love Brett, I do.
I am a fan. I just do not love him for Alexa. He is the complete opposite of Scott and I am not talking looks. Brett is very much a hotty himself. He definitely gives the hearts and flowers. She is every girls best friend. You want her in your pocket. Martina brought out the girl in Alexa Things were done in this book that I have thought in my head over and over should happen in many other books I've read. You think you can tell me not to do something Jen freaking nailed it.
I could go on with this part but I am going to keep it to myself and you will just see and I promise you will give Jen a high five for it. There are so many OMG. G, jaw open, she did not just do that scenes in BT. You will find yourself saying that was so awesome I was thrilled that the ending wasn't wrapped up in a nice little fairytale bow. It stayed true to the story and I didn't find myself missing that nice big red bow.
This is a honest review, I was there for Jen through most of this book process and I can't thank her enough for letting me in. I know it means a lot to her but it means that and more to me. May 11, Indy rated it liked it. Will try my best to elaborate on my rating having just finished reading and analysis being fresh. I also thought writer did a great job generating heat fanned my face several times! I didn't want to put it down. There were more appropriate times when that info could have been better inserted into the story.
I can't tell you why taking him back in the end was different that the prior times. There lacked character growth despite the characters being flawed. This goes back to author trying to add depth past pt of it being relevant or impactful. I just think with some Beta readers, this book could have lived up to it's potential. Will definitely revisit author's future works in hope experience helps iron out initial debut wrinkles. May 09, Rhonda rated it it was amazing. For me this author hit all the right places. It was a hot erotic love story of two people who are very twisted. I was on the edge of my seat reading it.
I laughed, I cried and was fully engaged and could not put it down. I love this story beyond words, I love Scotty, he is going to be in my dreams for sure. Mar 24, Jen rated it it was amazing. This brilliant,sexy, erotic twisted story is about two people who really can't live with each other but at the same time can't live without each other. Trying to make a life on her own after she got her heartbroken by the only man she gave herself over to completely. She's a no nonsense strong wom This brilliant,sexy, erotic twisted story is about two people who really can't live with each other but at the same time can't live without each other.
She's a no nonsense strong woman who's become harden to the outside world until one day that very man who broke her walks back into her life. Alexa struggles to keep control around him and not become the submissive she once was. What can I say about Scotty, he's hot, he's arrogant, he a sexy alpha male that likes to have control. Especially control of Alexa. Scott will do whatever it takes to get what's his back. Alexa and Scott are so in love with each other that they seem to mess things more because they both don't want to give up control.
It's only when Scotty feels threatened by another man that has come into Alexa's life that they start to figure things out. I have never loved anyone in my life. You can't help fall in love with him. This man is perfect in every way possible. You have the power to crush me right now" I think I have half the book highlighted. I could not put this book down, it literally sucked me in.
I really loved it, I felt like I was watching a movie play out in front of my eyes. You really can feel every emotion that comes out of each character. I love the relationships and the dynamics each character had with each other. And OMG can I say this is one seriously hot book. I seriously felt like I needed a cold shower after reading this..
Jennifer Domenico did an amazing job on this book.
The writing is brilliant, the character development is spot on and the storyline has you wanting more. A must read for all those that love a hot sexy alpha male, hot sex scenes and some even hotter surprises. Jun 18, Iyad rated it did not like it. It was like I was reading a different version but of same characters.
You see if I truly wanted that Seriously, 2 best friends falling over themselves over one woman?
I just didnt do it for me in this book. Why is it that the dialogues wasnt as suave as I read them? I mean all the right words came Nah. I hope we get over this FSOG fog already. Mar 24, Jennifer Miller rated it it was amazing. Everyone is going to fall in love with Scott Patrick! For whatever reason, I liked that. I enjoyed the twists and turns in this book to make it just a bit different that the normal erotic read.
One thing I will say…. Jennifer Domenico writes one hot love story. This was a pretty quick read for me, as once I started, I had to know where the story was going to go. They are definitely two people who have a hard time being together BUT and even harder time being apart. She likes control and has a very cold, closed off demeanor …. OK she is a bitch …. It was with a proposition from Scott, while he was her boss in New York, that Alexa learned just what she had to do to sleep her way get her way to the top. Brett just might be the kind of man to make YOU swoon. Will Brett be the one who gets the happy ending?
May 14, Mary Tatar rated it it was amazing. I went into reading Beautifully Twisted by Jennifer Domenico with my eyes wide open. I am so glad I did, because I loved it. It was pure, raw, and so very exciting. I enjoyed that the two main characters relationship was already established. With the use of flashbacks was nice as well.
I understood why this couples relationship was so intense. My favorite part of this book was just that their very intense attraction to each other. It was so addictive to read. I could feel why Alexa had trouble I went into reading Beautifully Twisted by Jennifer Domenico with my eyes wide open. I could feel why Alexa had trouble denying Scott anything.
He was the real dominating deal. I so loved everything about their relationship from the beginning to the very end. The main characters in this book are Alexa and Scott. Alexa is working in London heading up the office of Scott Collins. She is good at her job and is very career driven. Scott used to be her boss when she worked in New York. He was her mentor and she owes everything she learned to him. Well apparently business isn't the only thing Scott taught Alexa.
Their were rules they had to follow during their sexual arrangement. The most important was not to fall in love. That didn't seem to be a problem for Alexa she was focused on her career. She had no intentions to fall in love. Fast forward to present day and Scott decides he wants Alexa back. Alexa isn't sure she wants to let Scott back in to her life. It took her a long time to move on and she doesn't want to fall into him again. Having control over her is something she has a hard time denying. First off the things that go on between these two in the bedroom is explosive.
They are so perfect for each other. Their intense feelings they have make it even more wild. I had a hard time putting the book down because of their strong chemistry. Although they are great together they still have to face their past mistakes. Which is a hard undertaking. First they need to admit their true feelings and decide if they truly want to be together.
They both have distance between them to compete with. Are they both willing to venture out of their comfort zone to make one another happy. You definitely will learn the lengths that true love will take in this book. With any relationship mistakes will be made, hearts may get shattered, and truths will be shared. One thing you will want is these two to be together. They are much better together then apart. I know this might be a bit cliche' but Scott was the perfect combination between Christian Grey and Gideon Cross, well without the dark demons of course.
Seriously these two were as perfect as they come. In all honesty Alexa and Scott made each other who they are. Their love shaped them. It is truly amazing to me that love has effected them in that way. I have to tell you to read this, it is extremely addictive. A wonderful setting for a second chance at happiness. Apr 25, Wendy rated it really liked it. Where to start with this review?!!?!?!??
Right off the bat you're given a glimpse of Scott, as the first chapter and every chapter opens up with a quote from one of the characters. She's fire, passion, independent, career driven and lon 3. She's fire, passion, independent, career driven and lonely. In ways I can't begin to express, I'm drawn to Alexa. I feel a deep connection with her and maybe it's because I feel sorry for her, but in all likely hood, it's because the author does a tremendous job at explaining Alexa's personality and portraying her as someone you want to know whether you like her or not.
Where do I start with this guy? He had me wanting to be on my knees in front of him. But deep inside, I want to be on my knees in front of you. That's just the motherfucking truth. He kept me on the edge of my seat thru most of the book, because I really had no clue what to expect from him next. The relationship between this duo is hard to understand at first. I was a little confused on where this was going because I was under the impression that Scott was just this big shot business owner that had a fling with an employee and sent her packing after their deal was over.
For me the thought processing was hard to do while reading their story. At times I felt like I had to think too much about where they had been in their past to get to where they were now. The sex is HOT! And boy did we get some! I enjoyed this book a ton! But, there were just a few things missing for me. Number one being the ending. Apr 14, Lisa rated it really liked it.
Are you ready for some twisted goodness? This book will take you on a voyage of erotic and sensual missions, that you didn't think you could even enjoy! Prep yourself for a good time with Alexa and Scott, with a side of Brett! So there was a lot of hot steamy sex in this book. Probably more than I needed for me to enjoy Alexa and Scott's story. But it's what really made these two who they are. And what kills me the most about Alexa and Scott, was their back story.
Never saw that coming Are you ready for some twisted goodness? Never saw that coming. Yeh, knocked me off kilter. So needless to say, I was impressed with these two. They're smokin' together, but when they're apart it's like cutting the tension with a dull knife! This story just took a turn for the did not expect that scenario! You are about to venture into a lot of breathless, tummy flipping, and what the hay moments.
Scott and Brett are both incredibly hot, and both are vying for the attention of Alexa. I think I wanted to devour both of these men, in their hot pursuit to Alexa's heart. Who has the power to conceal her heart forever? Ok after all the drool fest that I just encountered, I best get back onto Alexa. That girl has a great head on her shoulders.
She is a go getter, and by golly won't let any of these dudes drag her down. But one thing lacking from this ice queen is happiness. Can either of these drool-a-licious men fix her broken heart? Or will she throw them to the waste-side and continue her journey in life unhappy? So Author Jennifer Domenico did it again. She wrote a book I enjoyed. This was a very tantalizing tale of love and betrayal.
Girl you know how to write the naughty! And by naughty, I mean don't let your momma's read this stuff!! I may or may not have blushed while reading Beautifully Twisted is just that, beautifully twisted beyond repair! Those characters are going to rock your world!! I give this book 4 Stars. Dec 22, Carinae L'etoile rated it did not like it. I read this book when it first came out and was so irritated by it, that I put it aside for another day to re-read and see if my opinion changed. As of December 22, , no, it hasn't changed. I found this to be too clingy, too emotionally unstable, too contrived.
If anything, it's even worse than when I read it the first time. Maybe I should've written a review the first time because it had garnered two stars. After the second re-read, it's been docked to one. Everything about this book screamed I read this book when it first came out and was so irritated by it, that I put it aside for another day to re-read and see if my opinion changed. I was given such a strong heroine that while I like strong characters, I felt like she was being stubborn and ineffective for the sake of just being stubborn and ineffective.
The minor characters had more sass, life and better dialogue. If you're a fan of derivative writing with no imagination, then this is for you. If you're not, read books by Lauren Dane, Shiloh Walker, Evangeline Andersen and Sylvia Day - these girls have been around a lot longer when doing their angsty romances and they have been doing it better. I hope that Beautifully Twisted is not wholly representative of Jennifer Domenico's writing skills.
I think she has a voice, but whomever edited her book and told her to make some schizophrenic point-of-view first and third voice storytelling needs to never set food near an editing job ever again. I wasn't sure what to expect when I began reading this book aside from reading the back. This is a first time reading any of Jennifer Domenico's books but I must say I do look forwards to reading many more. Alexa and Scott's relationship was one that was extremely twisted and confusing at times, but yet we as readers were able to see that they were truly in love with one another and would give up anything for the other.
We get to see how their relationship began as well as th 4 Beautiful Stars! We get to see how their relationship began as well as the present situations that they go through as a couple and as individuals. Alexa has a constant battle with herself for control and to not let anyone in, which comes across to many as rude. Scott is the controlling man who needs control over everything in his life, but the authors shows us how to two will bend and compromise for one another to make their relationship work even when they are trying to sabotage it. Overall I really enjoyed this book.
There many parts that had me in awe and I was always wondering what might happen next. I would suggest this book to my friends especially if you like a hot hot book that will leave you wanting more. Def if you loved 50 you will love this one. This book held my attention from first few pages. Alexa and Scott have such a F.. Scott being so dominant.
Alexa learned everything she knows from Scott It's when he breaks her heart that she turns and runs across the ocean to run the London office. Scott flies over after a year to try and win her back and Alexa just can't say no to him I enjoyed how the author wr Def if you loved 50 you will love this one. I enjoyed how the author wrote in "past tense" often to teach us of their history together Jun 02, Amy rated it it was ok.
There wasn't anything in this book that jumped out at me as exceptionally interesting in terms of the story line.
