Synopsis
Della
Sloane is desperate to break free from her life at home. She’s desperate for a
new life, one where she can be someone completely new and someone who doesn’t
share her secrets with anyone. However, she soon learns that she is incapable
of even pumping her own gas. Luckily, sexy Woods Kerrington is there to help
out. What should have been a brief meeting turned into something much more.
Woods
really isn’t into fragile girls but when he meets Della, he can’t keep his eyes
off of her. All he wants is one night with her and that’s what he gets. But,
Woods can’t stop thinking about Della once they go their separate ways even
though he isn’t exactly single. Luckily, or unluckily, Della comes crashing
back into his life with a bang!
What I thought
Abbi Glines
writes books that I just cannot put down. I had been looking forward to this
one for a while. Although part of its own series, it also runs in with Fallen
Too Far and the books that goes along with that story. So, it can be read on
its own but it goes better with the other books as there are characters running
through both series.
At the
beginning of the book, Della is about to head off on a road trip after her best
friend gets married. She’s never been anywhere on her own and her best friends
hands over the keys to her car and tells Della to go and find herself.
Unfortunately though, Della doesn’t have much experience in the world and soon
finds that she doesn’t even know how to put gas into the car. This is where she
meets Woods and as she’s trying to figure out who she is, she decides she can
have a wild night with this guy and not worry about it afterwards.
I really
liked Della from the very beginning. It’s clear that she’s been through
something quite bad in her life but that isn’t expanded upon until later in the
book. Snippets of her past are revealed and I couldn’t help but feel for the
girl. She’s such a nice character to read about too though as she tries to make
the best out of a bad situation and tries not to dwell on things too much.
Woods is a
character who I had read about already in another Abbi Glines book so I already
had a bit of a soft spot for him. He’s set to take over the country club one
day but is ruled by his father’s decisions so feels like he is never really
being himself. When he meets Della and is able to help her out, he cannot
believe his luck when she openly suggests she wants a wild one night stand with
him. He obviously doesn’t refuse. When she leaves though, Woods cannot stop
thinking about her, even weeks later.
Woods and
Della were an explosive coupling and by far one of my favourite couples in any
of Abbi Glines’ books. The chemistry between them is fantastic and I couldn’t
get enough of them both. There is a lot of character development for the both
of them as they get to know each other properly and begin to learn to trust one
another. One of the best parts of this book for me was the fact that they were
off limits to one another so they had to find ways around that.
Twisted
Perfection also has a great plot, as well as a really good romance. The plot
has so many twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. These twists made
reading this book really exciting and the reason that I couldn’t put it down.
There is also such an amazing ending to this book as it leaves the story on a
massive cliff-hanger. It didn’t take me long to get the second book though so I
could find out what happened next.
