Publisher's summary

My future was about to be completely thrown off track because Della Sloane was under my skin, and I had to have her. I couldn’t ignore it anymore . . . I’d gotten close enough to her to see deeper.

Della Sloane is not your average girl. Yearning to break free of her dark and sheltered past and the memories of the illness that claimed her mother, Della plans a solo road trip to experience real life on her own terms. But the trip is nearly cut short in the little beach town of Rosemary when she realizes she can’t even pump her own gas—until Woods Kerrington shows up, more than willing to help out a pretty girl in need.

Woods’s family wants him to settle down with a wealthy woman in pearls, but he can’t resist this carefree girl in cutoffs passing through town. A one-night stand should have been enough, but months later, Woods can’t get the irresistible Della out of his head.

When a twist of fate brings Della back to Woods, all signs point to trouble if they don’t keep their distance. Neither is truly free, and a relationship could destroy both of them. With their hearts on the line, Della thinks the safest bet is to walk away. But Woods isn’t about to let that happen...

AMAZING BOOK ; )

This author (Abbi Glines) is one amazing writer. This story is about Woods and the power that his father has over him, and Woods deciding if he wants to do as he's told as a loving son or the decision not to become a puppet just to get what he thinks he wants.

Woods, I LOVE you!

I so enjoyed reading (hearing) this book, I didn't realize it happened before the last of Blaire & Rush's book so it was a bit out of order for me, but it was great!!! This shows us how Della and Woods meet and the beginning of their relationship, it ends right at a serious point and so of course you have to keep going. Great story. We see some events with Rush and Blaire which is great, love this one.

The Beloved Woods from Rosemary Beach

I am so happy we got to look more inside Wood's life and have been introduced to Della. I stayed interested the whole time and of course the narrators did a hreat job.

So Happy I took a Chance

While looking for something new I decided to take a chance on this book & I'm so glad I did. From the very first line you know you're not listening to just another boy meets girls and have some trouble in-between. Abbi Glines has some great story ideas that keep you listening. And even if you're not crazy about the story, narrator Sebastian York will keep you listening. He has to have one for the sexiest voices I have yet to hear. He certainly makes it worth while.

This book is OUTSTANDING,,So Wonderful

Would you listen to Twisted Perfection again? Why?

Yes,. I am again and again, so that I made sure I didn't missed not one word..It's that good.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Woods is the one to be in AWE of in this book. He's got some great protective friends also.

Have you listened to any of Elizabeth Louise and Sebastian York ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

First time for Elizabeth, she did a good job, But Sebastiain York can read these books. He is an outstanding reader and you can follow him and see exactly what he is talking about as he explains, He puts so much into his reading that you think your standing right beside him. He is most excellent. In this book, he know what he wants, and make no mistake in telling anyone.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, there were many, I always loved how he could always find her and make her see things clearly.

Any additional comments?

This is a perfect love story, It has it all, and yes, it ends making you want more, no so much of a cliffhanger but a continuation. Late September there is another one coming out. And I pray they use the same readers. I cannot wait. These two met and at once have a connection that unforgettable, at least by him., Even with other's in their lives they still want each other. But try so hard to give others want they want instead of following their own hearts, Once reunited, they pick up right where they left off. There is some HOT love scenes in this one as well. Very well written. Woods struggles with what his family wants, and gives in towards it, but the sight of her makes him weak and he knows what he must do when another man only looks at her. Only she will make him whole, I love the way the book sways from one scene to another showing you how they follow each other to be either friends or lovers. Any thing so that they can be beside each other. It's intense at times, but hang with it, It's explained. This book is great, you will not want to put this down. So get every thing ready to devote your time to this one,, and sit back and listen. Enjoy this one, I'ts perfect. . I loved it all. . My first Abbi Glines book, but I plan to see what she has written in the past.

COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What made the experience of listening to Twisted Perfection the most enjoyable?

I really enjoy that both a female and a male narrate this book! This makes it amazing to have both perspectives.

Any additional comments?

Loved how the one night stand between Della and Woods changed both of their paths for ever after. Another great audio book.

Spin-off from Fallen Too Far - I loved it

I loved Woods from Fallen Too Far and I'm so glad he got his own book. It was fun to get an inside look into what makes him tick. This was such an enjoyable and at times a heartbreaking listen. I love the characters that Abbi Glines creates. I can get lost in her books for hours. Hopefully Audible will get all the books from the Fallen series soon.

A SWEET LOVE STORY BET. WOODS & DELLA

I was so excited to read/listen to Woods' love story as he was quite the DREAM POPSICLE in the "Fallen Too Far" series, when he was interested in Blair. I really wanted him to have a great love story of his own and this is the very beginning of that love chapter for Woods and Della. Woods is what I refer to as a "Prince" among men. He's a gentleman, a leader, well-liked and respected by his peers which include the hot-men of Rosemary Beach. As he oversees and manages Kerrington Country Club there's a widening rift pushing him farther away from his father's iron clad will and determination to make life choices for Woods. The heroine, Della is somewhat of a lost soul who is finding herself. She has a troublesome past, but is very sweet and catches Woods' eye right away. Of course, Della is a looker, as she is beautiful, with long brown hair and blue eyes. She also has a body that Woods refers to as a "sex goddess"...lol

So, as their attraction was instant and like no other, the two come together for a one night stand. Yet as Woods follows up on a favor, for his friends Tripp and Jace, to provide a nice, young lady with a job, little did he know that some of the best gifts in life come through unexpected moments. Della really is a gift to Woods. The chemistry between these two really sizzles and you get the dirty talk with great sex scenes that you come to expect in this series. In this book, Woods has an engagement to a "would-be-trophy-wife" to get out of (Angelina...what a witch!), he needs to find his own way in life out of his father's grasp, and he has a love affair to explore with Della with an HEA on the horizon. Della's situation is a lot more complicated as she has a traumatic upbringing to heal from. She also works to fit into Woods' life in a way that is genuine and real.

This is a very sweet love story, and it was an even better treat to get back into Rosemary to see what the other friends were up to, such as Jace, Bethy, Jimmy, Grant, and we finally get to meet the much revered Tripp. It was also fabulous to see how Rush and Blair were doing. I loved how Blair and Bethy had formed this wonderful friendship that they extended to Della; and if anyone was in need of good friends, it was sweet Della.

Narrators: OMG!!! Sebastian York was just perfection for Woods' voice. His voice is so swoon worthy!!! Elizabeth Louise was also very good and made Della come to life.

The end is abrupt, and pretty life-changing for Woods, but you just come to expect that abruptness in the books in this series. Just know that when you download the first book, you might as well download the one that follows because they bleed into each other....now on to SIMPLE PERFECTION!!

A great, great read!

If you could sum up Twisted Perfection in three words, what would they be?

Wow! Amazing! Heart-wrenching!

What did you like best about this story?

The storyline was awesome and the characters had a lot of depth to them. I was enamored immediately.

Have you listened to any of Elizabeth Louise and Sebastian York ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, I have not but I have definitely fallen in love with Sebastian York!! I want more from him!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I got very emotional throughout the book because of Della's background.
