Review – A Twisted Love Story by Samantha Dowling
Synopsis
Wes and Ivy are madly in love. They’ve never felt anything like it. It’s the kind of romance people write stories about.
But what kind of story?
Because when it’s good, it’s great. Flowers. Grand gestures. Deep meaningful conversations where the whole world disappears.
When it’s bad, it’s really bad. Vengeful fights. Damaged property. Arrest warrants.
But their vicious cycle of catastrophic breakups and head-over-heels reconnections needs to end fast. Because suddenly, Wes and Ivy have a common enemy–and she’s a detective.
There’s something Wes and Ivy never talk about–in good times or bad. The night of their worst breakup, when one of them took things too far, and someone ended up dead.
If they can stick together, they can survive anything–even the tightening net of a police investigation.
Because one more breakup might just be their last…

Review
There are no redeemable characters in this book! They all have major issues and are twisted in their own way.
Wes and Ivy…I have no idea what to say about these two. They met in college and have been in an off and on again relationship since then. When one does something the other doesn’t like, there is retaliation of some sort. It is like they never grew up and continue to play games that young people would play.
Karen is a police officer investigating Ivy’s claim that Wes might be stalking her. Ivy reported it because she was mad. However, Karen believes there is more to this relationship and story than anyone knows and decides to do a deep dive into their past and other reports that have been filed. The truth may not be something we want to know.
Biana may come across as a mild-mannered administrative assistant, but she has her own dark side. I felt bad for her when she was attacked by a co-worker. The end result was not pretty.
This story really comes off as a train wreck and is very different from this author’s past works. I didn’t like this one as much as the others…but, as I mentioned, it is like a train wreck, and I can’t look away.
We give it 3 1/2 paws.
