Determined to prove she’s more than just a pretty face, Detective Evie Harper works hard and trains even harder to be the very best. Her first homicide case will put her skills to the test as she and her partner, Detective Stephen Harris, track a ruthless serial killer terrorizing the west end of town. The Lovelorn killer may be one step ahead of them, but they’re closing in fast — until an … immoral decision is made that leaves their partnership hanging in the balance.
Love Lorn, is the first book in a nine-book series called The Twisted Love Series. While this book was written Amy Manemann, the second book, Love Torn, was written by USA Bestselling Author, Stacy Eaton. The two authors have worked together on these books so the stories run parallel and prepare you for the first full-length novel in the series, Love Inked.
The Twisted Love Series:
The Series consists of nine stories co-written between Bestselling Author Amy Manemann and USA Today Bestselling Author Stacy Eaton. This series starts off with Love Lorn, Book 1, (Written by Manemann) and introduces you to Detective Evie Harper. Love Torn, Book 2, (written by Eaton), introduces you to Detective Kali Mann.

Paired with a new partner these two officers are knee deep in an investigation that spans months on the trail of a serial killer. Tension mounts as the time goes by without any leads at the same time the heat grows between the two. She is a new detective proving herself to her partner and fellow detectives. With some luck and great instincts they work well together finding leads and solving the case while the chemistry between them starts revving up. Good read with suspense and some intrigue. My first read with these two authors on the first of a nine book series can’t wait to see what’s next.
This is the first book I have read by this author and I was very happy to say not only was I pleased with this book, but it made me want to start reading more of this style of books again. This book was well written and it had me hooked from the very start to the end and let’s say beyond, is a series of books written between two authors. The nextbook will be written by Stacy Eaton, another really great author. Let me tell you a wee bit about this book. This is a suspense that is built around an serial killer in Philly. We get to follow two detectives Evie and Stephan Harris around as they try to catch this person or persons. Of course it is not just that simple and there is much more involved. Yes, there is some romance in this book, but the main focus is the police work. I am so looking forward to the next book in this series.
Perfect editing made this police drama a smooth and enjoyable read. It’s 8 chapters of good police procedure fun while tracking a serial killer. With some sexy innuendo banter thrown into the mix between the male and female partners, there’s a little bit of something for a lot of readers. I already have the second installment, so I’m off to read the next!
They need to dampen down their attraction to catch the murderer…
This is the first book of nine in the Twisted Love Series & it will leave you wanting more. The story’s been covered in previous reviews so I won’t go into detail but I can tell you that it was a compelling fairly quick suspenseful read with the main characters, detective partners, succumbing to their mutual attraction which is not tolerated in the police force. Can they keep it strictly professional & stop the murders of young women by a devious & deviant criminal?
Evie has made detective and working with her gorgeous partner, Harris. Evie has done modelling in the past and is very beautiful. While working on a serial killer case, Harris starts to change his attitude toward Evie actually giving her nice comments for once. What on earth is going on? A long hard case. Four women murdered. Will they get their man or will he slip away? What a super story.
The only thing twisted in this story is the supposed hero of this story. Turns out he’s not really a hero. Our heroine is on the chase for a serial killer. The ending is a surprise, but leads us to the next installment of Love Torn. The story is surprising good until the climax of the book. This is where the story gets twisted and goes off in a different direction. Not sure if I’m going to like this series, but I’ll probably follow it until I decide.
I really loved this introduction to the Twisted Love series. We are introduced to Detective Evie Harper and her partner. We see what type of a detective and person Evie is as she works to track down and capture a serial killer.
A word of warning… do not listen to (or read) the epilogue if you want to avoid a major spoiler for book 2, Love Torn!
Great storyline and enjoyable narration. I’m certainly looking forward to seeing where this series goes!
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.
I really enjoyed this book by Amy Manemann! Love Lorn is the first book in The Twisted Love series by Amy Manemann and Stacy Eaton.
Detectives Evie Harper and Stephen Harries are working together trying to find and arrest the Lovelorn Killer, but tension soon builds and not just because of the case.
I’m definitely looking forward to reading more stories in this new series!
I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.
New job, new partner, new cases…. New desires
When police officer Evie Harper becomes detective, she must face the reality of proving herself has a woman in a men’s world. She is dedicated, great at her job and her excellent work doesn’t go unnoticed by anyone, especially her gruff partner detective Harris.
As her new case move along, she fights her attraction to her cocky and oh so sexy new partner and needs to stay focus; career and professionalism before personal life and carnal desires.
This is the first prequel in a new series merging two authors I discovered in the past year and I just love their talented work.
This is an easy read, page turner and I cannot wait to read the next book in this co-written series.
Good luck and congratulations to Amy and Stacy on this new journey!
