Twisted Desire

Imagine my surprise when I saw a Sharon Kay novella available that blends two of my most favorite series....The Watchers and The Titan men!! Sigh and swoon...

I loved how this blended two worlds that run parallel to one another but with one oblivious to the darker side of the others in a way that kept us riveted page after page.

As any Watcher/Titan book this has lots action, mystery and a nice little romance between Locke and Megan. For anylover of either series this is a must read but I will say you do not have to read the predecessors to read this it explains it all nicely but you won't be disappointed if you do read them!

This was a complimentary advanced reader copy gifted by the author/publisher via Netgalley in exchange for a honest review.

Rhys is a demon watcher who helps to keep the peace and line between human world and supernatural intact. Enter a suspicious human death, a DNA puzzle and computer info to discover and Titan is called in to assist.
This is the first book to read by this author although have read Titan books. Good blend and story line of these two worlds. Only question is how Megan accepted teams getting into locked office with no ID presented or call to confirm legit investigation. OtherWise even with not having read Rhys' s story, felt good explanation of background and intervention .

Ebook from netgalley and publishers with thanks. Opinions are entirely my own.

Sharon Kay does it again! I read Awakening Kiss a Watchers Kiss novel a few weeks ago and completely fell in love. Of course I had to request this latest write by Sharon Kay as soon as I saw it and I wasn’t disappointed in the least.

Right away I fell into the story and was swept away. I loved that this read had Rhys from the Watcher’s Kiss novel Awakening Kiss in this story as well. I always like to see characters I love being brought into later stories by authors and this is no exception.

I was a little thrown for a minute on who the main male squeeze was going to be, but then since Parker was married I figured that the book wasn’t long enough to watch him derail from a marriage and then find a new gal so it had to be Locke. I loved the little triste between Locke and Megan. I always like to see the nerdy introvert girls get the sexy badass guys. Probably some subconscious thing about the fact that I’m a nerdy girl hiding behind my computer.

Locke is a member of the Titan Group a private security, go to guy, alpha male brethren company that handles all those pesky things the government has trouble with for various reasons. He and his boss Parker Black are called in by Rhys MacLeod an old friend of Parker’s to help investigate the murder of a scientist that left some serious questions.

Megan is a scientist whose boss was just murdered by a woman who may or may not have had a tail from where she was standing. No one seems to really have any leads so when three men who look like they just might be able to uncover some new leads show up she’s more than happy to assist them. The fact that Locke Oliver might just be one of the hottest men she’s ever laid eyes on might help ensure her cooperation as well.

Together the group of four, three serious alpha males and a cute little feminine scientist, uncover the truth behind the murder some of which is definitely not rated human knowledge acceptable.

This was a fantastic short read and now I really want to know more about Titan Group and what’s going on there. Can’t wait for the next book by this amazing author.

Twisted Desire by Sharon Kay

When I saw this novella listed on NetGalley I wanted it. Why? I enjoy reading Sharon Kay’s books and was eager to see what this one might be about. I had not a clue that it was a melding of two different worlds and though I have not read even one story in The Titans series I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

The Watchers are pulled into solving a murder in Chicago because their world and the human world have rules that must not be crossed and someone from their world has murdered a human. With the hunt on and hacker skills needed Parker, a human from the Titan group, is called in to help. There is a bit of romance mixed in with the locating and capture of the murderer and a bit of catching up with characters that no doubt have been in previous books of both series.

I came away wanting to read more by Ms Kay but also wanting to find out who the Titans are.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC. This is my honest review.

Wow! This was really good! Meshing both genres in writing this works very smoothly. It has a taste of both! Found the scene between Jude and Rhys after the lady exits the elevator with her dog really funny. Trying to figure out if Cara is a one-off or she exists in Solsti / Watcher world. I may need to go read the rest of Titan books that are out!

Sharon Kay did an excellent job of combining her supernatural existence from the Watcher's Kiss series to Cristin Harber’s human inhabited Titan World series. The characters worked well together while the paranormal presence is never revealed to the human characters. TWISTED DESIRE takes place in contemporary Chicago.

I love that the story included Rhys MacLeod from book four in the Watches’ Kiss series, AWAKENING KISS. I really enjoyed that book and was glad to read more about his character. I thought it was clever how Sharon Kay brought the Titan World characters into the story. Rhys and Jude are investigating the murder of human that was killed by a Deserati female. It leads them to Dayton Diagnostics. Rhys is an excellent hacker, but he cannot get into the company’s impressive firewalls. He calls in his human friend from Titan Group, Parker Black, to help with the task. Parker and his partner Locke Oliver head to Chicago to help Rhys out.

While on the job, they meet witness, Megan O’Rourke, who helps with the investigation. Megan and Locke hit it off, having great chemistry. The scheme they uncover at Dayton Diagnostics is crazy. It was interesting to see the supernatural versus human side of things unfold as Rhys and Jude try to keep their world a secret. The story is full of non-stop action and numerous twists. I enjoyed the characters. The story was well-written and clever. It had a great ending. It was a wonderful collaboration of two series. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

This was a quick easy read suitable for fans of Titan or Watcher's Kiss or for anyone new to both series. I have read everything Titan, but was completely unfamiliar with this author. While I definitely feel this was more Watcher's Kiss than Titan, I enjoyed Locke as the primary love interest. There was plenty of suspense and a very sweet, if somewhat rushed, romance.

I received an ARC from Net Galley for honest review.

I very much enjoyed this book it was full of great characters and well written i enjoyed getting to know them all better.This is a great read that you wont want to put down would recommend it a super addition to the series.

When I started this book, I had to go back and make sure it was a Titan novella LOL. I don't read much paranormal and didn't realize that the Titan group would be meeting up with some! I loved it though! I thought the way that these two worlds were brought together was well done. I got to see Parker Black, too, from Titan, so that was awesome! I'm not a huge paranormal reader, but this made me want to check out the Watchers. I was hoping to see Locke and Megan maybe pursue something. I hope we'll see something in the future about them! This was a good quick read and the story was good for a novella. I enjoyed it.

A good suspense mystery romance.
Good drama,action,intrigue.
Enjoyed reading.

Twisted Desire is a Titan World novella and the first book I read by Sharon Kay. It perfectly blends the supernatural Watcher world with Cristin Harber’s Titan world and held just the right mix of action, suspense and romance to keep me invested until the end. I hope things work out for Megan and Locke! I loved the writing and will definitely check out Sharon Kay’s Watcher's Kiss series.
