Friday in Review: Twisted Fate & Twisted Desire by Jessi Elliot

Happy Friday! I hope you all had a great Fourth of July yesterday! :D I haven't done a book review in far too long and since I've wanted to make my book reviews as simple and easy as possible I have a new format which I got from Rebellious Writing.

So one of the only books I read in June were Twisted Fate and Twisted Desire by Jessi Elliot. Actually, I realized while talking to a friend that I didn't read any YA books in June! They were all Adult.

But don't worry, I tend to remedy that with plenty of YA reads this month. Anyways, here is my content review of Twisted Fate and Twisted Desire by Jessi Elliot:

Book 1 Blurb:

Being kidnapped by the leader of the fae
really puts a dent in your senior year. 

Aurora Marshall is sharp, witty, and always has a plan. Ready to finish her business degree and graduate, her life is going smoothly–until the night she meets Tristan Westbrook.

Tristan, the overbearing, gorgeous Fae Leader, and an admired businessman in the human world, is all kinds of dangerous. While he finds Aurora intriguing, her refusal to bend to his will keeps them locked in a constant power struggle.

Entering into a deal is the only way to escape Tristan’s clutches, which only plunges Aurora deeper into the fae world. With her future at stake, she is forced to handle his arrogance and extraordinary fae abilities as she fights to stay grounded in her mundane life.

Not to mention her struggle to ignore the growing attraction she knows she shouldn’t feel for the man who kidnapped her.

When people said college would be the most exciting time of her life, Aurora never thought this is what they meant.

Romance: ✩✩✩✩ These books were heavy on the romance. I wouldn't say it was the most amazingly developed romance I've ever read but I mean, it was good enough for me to keep reading and then continue on to read book 2 cuz I wanted to know what happened.

Lust: ✩✩✩✩✩ This is in the Adult genre so let's just say... it was pretty heavy on the lusty stuff. Things get a little heated in both books content wise. Though there were actually only two or three scenes that I had to skip so compared to a few other books I've read, the actual lusty scenes weren't frequent which I appreciated.

Language: ✩✩✩✩ Yaaa there was quite a bit of swearing in these books. I read them near the beginning of June so I don't remember the exact words used, but I do remember them being used. A bit more than I'm used to.

Abuse: I can't remember any kind of abuse in these books... There's one character who's just mean all the time to Aurora like all the time, but other than that I can't think of anything else...

Other: So, honestly, I think I was just in the mood for some major swoon-worthy romance when I read these books. I needed something easy and fluffy and fun, something I could get lost in and not have to think about while reading it. Plus, I'm a sucker for Fae books. If you're looking for that sort of read then these are the books for you, just be aware that it is heavy on the romance and since its in the Adult genre things do get quite a bit heated between certain characters.

Overall: ✩✩✩ Overall I give both books three out of five stars. I enjoyed them, I'm glad I got to read them and that they were on Kindle Unlimited, but I don't know if I'll be rereading them any time soon.

~~~~~~

Well this was fun. Easy, simple and hopefully helpful to you guys to know if these books are the sort of thing you'd want to read or not. I hope it's OK that I kind of copied Rebellious Writing's format a little bit...
