Twisted Fates by Kitty Thomas releasing September 17, 2019

5 stars


Where to begin?!?! I absolutely LOVED THIS BOOK!!! Seriously, this book just became one of my top reads from this authour, for this year, and forever. Why? Because it has such depth of feelings, of insight into the how we human tick, and what makes us so different from other. Also, how we truly are such an adaptable species, and what we never thought possible, will change for us in a flash. A moment where we need to do what we have to, and make choices we never thought possible, highlighted Darwinism in all its; glory

Shannon had hope all those years ago, but as time drags on, she loses it. Having a mere existence isn’t enough for her, especially her same circumstances applied to others, have different, happier, results. Lindsay gave up hope years ago when his choices altered Shannon irrevocably. He does what he thinks will make her happy, while wallowing in the guilt he wears as his hair shirt. Things change, and suddenly avoidance in no longer an option for these two. Lindsay, ever the planner, moves ahead with a plan, then keeps ignoring it *gasp* and berates himself for doing it. Then it starts with big plans, long term plans, forever and ever plans, and if only he let Shannon know what they were

Shannon is so scared to have hope again, because she gets hurt every time. Her doubt and worries were heart wrenching, but she made sure to ask questions and find out what was going on. Lindsay forgets to plan on what Shannon’s natural reaction may be to his plans. One thing is clear through it all, Shannon and Lindsay have a close and binding tie and neither wants anything that isn’t the best for the other. One of my favourite moments in the book, and this isn’t a spoiler, is when Shannon realizes her scars were given to her by Lindsay. Lindsay created her scars when he stitched her skin back together, creating the perfect lines on her body. That is the closeness of the tie these two have for each other

Things progress and change, and Lindsay’s plans didn’t account for a lot of things. Luckily, after making me ugly cry, we get to see Shannon be the woman she was always meant to be. Shannon is tired of being ‘taken care of’ and wants to be able to decide the who and where she will get her care. Lindsay and his plans will have to change, because she isn’t giving up. Along the way, if a score gets settled, then Lindsay gave that to her as well, and Shannon fully embraced the new life she has, on her terms, finally, whole again

Fear not fellow readers, we get all sorts of wonderfully sexy and hot times along the way. Exhibitionist, voyeurism, sharing, and some high protocol, and not so proper office antics, are some of the delights on Shannon and Lindsay’s path. It was all kinds of kinky fun and depraved delights for us to immerse in!
