Impact by Autumn Sand is a Twisted Hearts Love story stand-alone. It’s the fourth book in the series. Due to content, this book is recommended for readers 18+.
This book starts off showing us an event that changed Manny’s life. From there the story switches from past to present giving you more insight into Manny’s life. Experiencing the ups and downs of Manny’s life really took you on a rollercoaster of emotions. To see Manny in love is also a rollercoaster. He will do anything to keep her safe but the relationship at times has been rocky. This book kept me on the edge of my seat and definitely had some twists I wasn’t expecting.
I really enjoyed reading Manny’s story and getting a glimpse into his life. It was very emotional but Manny definitely made some choices that were good for his life and it was good seeing him trying to come out the other side. I didn’t read these books in order but now I definitely want to go back and read the others!
Twisted Hearts Love Story number 4 is Impact by Autumn Sand. Even though this is book 4 it can be a stand alone book. I like reading Autumn Sand books because of her characters and the world around them. This book is told in Manny point of view which is a little different for me. I enjoyed reading how Manny saw what was going on in the world around him. As it states in the title it is a Love Story, Manny has seen the love of his life, Zoe but he does not want to let her know as she is in love with him as well. Manny has a past and he does not want to put Zoe in any danger. Will Manny’s past keep him alone or will Zoe become apart of his life?
“Loving me doesn’t mean you trust me. I want all of you, Manuel. I want your secrets, because you know I would keep them. I want your pain, because you know I will swallow it and make it my own. I want your happiness because that’s when I love you most. I want your fears because we are supposed to fight those demons together. I want your love because that is what keeps me alive. Don’t you understand? I want it all, or nothing.” — Zoe
This story is the fourth book in the Twisted Hearts series and it so fits right in with the theme. I have read the other three books in this series but it has been a few years. I did not have to refresh my memory with the other books as there was little reference to the characters from those books. Would I recommend reading them? Definitely!
Impact is a story that bounces around from present day to the past. The characters remain the same through-out the story as Manny is telling it through his perspective. We see how each character “impacts” the others, both negatively and positively. This is Manny’s story. A story that has kept me turning the pages and hoping that Autumn Sand will continue not only this series but continue writing anything, because she is just that good!

This author and this series has a way of hooking you and not letting you go. It’s so easy to get sucked into Autumn Sand’s books and never want to leave.
This is book 4 in the Twisted Hearts series and it’s Manny’s book. I love how it goes back and forth between now and then in Manny’s life. You really get to see how hard Manny’s life has been and how he’s pulled himself out of a living situation that could’ve caused him an early death. Manny’s love for his special girl is definitely not something I’ve read before but their journey to their HEA was one that will stick with me for a long time. She’s smart and independent and Manny will do anything to protect her!
This is one breath taking series that I highly recommend!
What a fantastic read. Although part of a series, this book does stand alone well. However, the characters and situations within the series do build off one another making the most impact when having read all books in the series. Real life, raw, emotional, gripping. Once I started reading, I couldn’t step away until I had read every page. Just an excellent book.
Impact, by Autumn Sands is the fourth book in the Twisted Hearts Love Story and can be read as a standalone. I have yet to read the other 3, but they are currently ready and waiting on kindle. I loved diving right into Manny and Zoe. Zoe is the one that Manny left behind and when they see each other again after not having contact for years Manny runs yet again. He is so worrisome about causing her more pain even though it so clear that Zoe still loves him. It is clear these two are drawn together and have such love and passion for one another but they need to work past the pain that is holding each of them back. This story has love, friendship, and twists I never saw coming. I highly recommend this beautifully written books and so looking forward to reading the others in this series!
Impact by Autumn Sand is the fourth book in A Twisted Hearts Love Story. This can be read as a standalone book but better enjoyed read in order. Each book features a story of one of the main characters but they all carry over to each other’s stories. This book is finally the story of Manny. He has met his love match but what happens when his past comes calling back?
I love the characters as I did with the other books. Manny is interesting and it is great to get his backstory and where he has ended up. The story alternates between Manny and Zoe. It is great to get both sides of the story. This has highs and lows pushing the story forward. I really enjoyed the emotion and how it progressed in the story. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
Impact is Book 4, and the final book in the Twisted Hearts Love Story series by Autumn Sand and is my favorite of them all! Each book tells of a different alpha-male that is somehow connected to a mob family within New York and their fall for strong willed, independent, confident women. Each male has skeletons in the closet, and each female is in some form of distress. Book 4 tells us about Manny, (Manuel) his very unfortunate upbringing, his climb from criminal to legitimate, his love woes, and then finally his happily ever after. We meet him briefly in the 3 previous books, but not enough to label him anything more than mysterious, and dangerous. I felt like we get to know Manny on a much more personal level than any of the characters in previous books, and so was much more connected and in tune to his feelings and hardships, success and victories. I loved the way this book jumped from past to present to past to present, showing us who he is now and what happened in the past to make him that person. I felt like this story had more ups and downs, more action, and overall was better written. I literally couldn’t put it down!! I highly recommend this book and give it 5 out of 5 stars!

This is Manny’s story, a playboy boss of club Pulse. At the beginning of the book, we see a scared little boy not understanding his mother’s death. This event changed the course of his life. From then on out, it is one disaster after another with Manny fighting to survive. After all the life and death situations he has been in, he should be dead but he somehow survived. The story is written with continual flashbacks to his younger days but these are crucial to understanding the story and how all the characters are connected.
From a young age he fell into a life that should have killed him yet he managed to get out. But do you ever really get out? Somehow he always got caught up in a mess. I felt bad that Manny could never catch a break. There has been only one light in his life and even their relationship was tumultuous. There is a saying, “Anything worth having is worth fighting for”. Manny fought long and hard his whole life but is it too late to put the pieces back together?
This story is filled with so many twists and turns it will have your head spinning. This is another fantastic book in the Twisted Hearts series. Autumn Sand is an amazing author who can write riveting stories that will leave you breathless.
Impact is a Twisted Heart Love Story by Autumn Sand. This story pulled the heartstrings, that’s for sure. Manny grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. Done things just to survive. Hardened himself because he thought he was not deserving of happy. He was on on a path of self destruction, and it broke my heart to witness the struggle within. His love was endless. He just had to realise his self worth.
Impact left me with a heavy but elated heart. Manny’s story was moving heartache. It was also beauty. Intense beauty. So much happened. Then it ended. Was not ready to reach it, but was thrilled to capture the whole entire brilliance that was his story. 5 stars.
Impact: Twisted Hearts Love Story by Autumn Sand. This can be read as a standalone but it helps to have read the prior books to know the characters. Finally Manny’s Story! This is the story we’ve all been waiting on, the story of Manny and Zoe. Manny is a major player and has said he will never settle down until he meets Zoe but he still gets scared and leaves her. Now years later he sees her again and she’s still in love with him even if he broke her heart. Manny is not just a player he is a good person, he’s always there for his friends and the player personal is a wall he keeps up. Will he let that wall down to be with Zoe or will he get scared and run again. Will Zoe forget the hurt he put her thru and try again? This book goes into detail about Manny’s past and why he’s the way he is. Its a very emotional read. I think it’s my favorite so far! Read Impact, you won’t be disappointed!

This author….Oh my goodness!! I could grab a dictionary and look up every complimentary word out there and it would not be enough to explain in words how amazingly awesome I think this author is. I loved this series, and if possible I loved this book even more than the first 3, that’s hard to say because I really loved those as well. She grabs you at page 1 and doesn’t let go even after finishing the last word. She weaves words and comes up with all these little twists and turns throughout the whole book. There’s not just one big twist towards the end, it happens all the way through. This book had a lot of flashbacks to different times, every one of these were needed. I bring this up because I normally don’t like flashbacks, but the way this one read was brilliant. It was like watching a movie, and speaking of that, this series would make an awesome collection of movies, but I found myself reading a chapter and seriously looking forward to the next flashback..It was awesome!!
I loved Manny, this whole book was from his POV and while I love different POV’s through a book, this one worked perfectly. A major loss when he was younger changed the course of his life in ways that were not ideal. The decisions he made from that point on were a direct result of this loss, as well as the love he had in his heart for a girl, a love he was not even completely aware of. Their story is unique and unlike anything I’ve ever read before. The parts played by so many in this story kept me on my toes, because I never knew from one page to the next what would happen or who would be behind it. I’m not going to say anymore, I’m so afraid I’ll ruin this book for anyone that wants to read it, and trust me this book deserves to be read, but do yourself a favor and read them in order…There is one character in this book that I had a huge dislike for, until she showed up in Manny’s story…She may actually be one of my favorites now!!
I just don’t know if I can wait till January for the first book in the spinoff series, this will be brutal, so I’ll wait till December and read these again and stalk this author so I can grab Ruin the second it comes out.
Many many thanks and much Love to this author for such amazing talent and giving me a new favorite series to reread whenever I choose.
Loved Loved Loved!!!
Five things I enjoyed about this book in addition to the FANTASTIC story (with a bonus #6)…
1. The dedication: “This is from one hopeful soul to another, read this if you dare.”
2. Chapter headings are songs/artists that mean something to what we are about to read.
3. That we finally get Manny’s story.
4. This quote:. “True sacrifice is picking that man up when he is down and beaten, and bringing him back to life again.”
5. The way it’s told in alternating time frame of past and present.
6. The author’s explanation of how this series came to be and the knowledge that even though this is the last of the “Twisted Hearts” series, there is more to come!!!
