It had been six years since my world was turned upside down.He exposed me to the darker side of life and I could never go back to the person I was.I had been through more things the average person couldn’t even relate to.If I had the chance to go back and do things differently though?Not a chance.I’d pick him a thousand times. A million times. For eternity.I guess not much has changed.My name is … guess not much has changed.

I waited a long time for this book to come out and I must say…. IT WAS WORTH EVERY F**CKING MINUTE!!! This story got me from go. I fell in love with these characters immediately. I couldn’t read the pages fast enough. FANTASTIC JOB BELLE, FANTASTIC JOB!!! I HATED TO SEE IT END.
It was worth the wait! Absolutely devoured this book. Brilliant.
Not going lie I’m still in utter awareness here, Over Raw: Rebirth!
I’ve waited so long for this book and now it’s here! Which I consumed like some kinda crazy person in need of Twitch!! That’s right “Twitch”!
Just like a balm to my need his story just ravished me to the point it fueling my desires to end! OMFG!!!! It was so much of everything and so much more!!! I may have died a little with how bloody amazing it was!!
10 brilliantly raw stars!!!!
“Because I’m your motherfucking king, and you are my beautiful queen. So be good, bow down to me, and let me love you.”
Seriously though… What. A freaking. Ride! RAW: Rebirth is probably one of the books I feel like I’ve been waiting for forever, and damn was it worth it. From start to finish, this book just kept going—the passion, the action, the violence, the drama… it might’ve even felt like it went on forever, but this is just dark romance at its finest. Brutally dark, delicious and sinfully sexy, Belle Aurora certainly didn’t hold anything back in delivering the epic finale for the RAW Family series. And I loved every single second of it!
“Twitch was a man of good intentions, stitched together with barbed wire and fueled by raw fury.”
To this date, Twitch is—and forever will be—EVERYTHING. He’s just as dauntingly captivating as ever, if not more. He’s like an addiction you can never and won’t ever want to shake free—the obsession is just unreal with this man. There were so many moments in this book that made me sigh, swoon, and fall deeper in love. He just did crazy things to my heart—even more so now with Twitch two point oh. Yeah, he definitely drove me past the point of insanity at times, but he’s also one of the sweetest highs I won’t ever get enough of.
“Once upon a time, in the land of gods and monsters, there lived an angel. And her name was Lexi.”
Lexi was downright amazing. I loved how much she grew and found her spine of steel, which ultimately made her true strength shine here. Having A.J. and losing Twitch for six years certainly changed her, but you bet it was for the better. The way her son was—not just with her, but with others as well—truly reflected on how much of a great mother she was. And when Twitch finally came back, I honestly adored her for the way she reacted. It was raw, it was real, and I felt it deep in my gut.
“I didn’t think there was anything more important in the world than being with somebody who didn’t fear your demons, but made love to them.”
And A.J.… good lord, the kid could easily give his daddy a run for his money. He wasn’t just adorably innocent and sweet like any other kid out there—he was also incredibly smart and brutally honest and took after so much of both his parents, it was beyond mesmerizing. If you couldn’t get enough of Twitch, then you definitely won’t be able to get enough of this little monster.
“Ride or die, baby. Together for always. You’re it for me. I know I’m it for you.” He peered up at me through his lowered gaze. “Love me forever?”
If you’re craving for an intensely heart-thumping romantic suspense that will have you on the edge of your seat the whole time… something overwhelmingly dark and dangerous… something that will enthrall you and have you undoubtedly falling head over heels right off the bat… then better start this series already and get to know Twitch. Trust me, you absolutely NEED this in your life.
“His love was deadly, and I didn’t want the antidote.”
Raw Rebirth by Belle Aurora is a dark and twisted masterpiece! Have mercy, this woman knows how to stop your heart and give you all the feels at the same time.
I absolutely loved Twitch in this book. We get to see more of his heart and emotions than we did in Raw. And believe me he doesn’t disappoint.
I also love how many strong female characters, Belle incorporated throughout the book. Some were tragic, but they were still fierce.
4.5 Stars!!!
This is the culmination of this epic series. I hated it to end, but vengeance was served and love WON!
I am a lover of dark romance, and this had to be one of my all times favorite series in this category. Twitch and Lexi have a history filled with heartbreak and past hurts. But their love, was extraordinary.
The author told a story that tied everything together. It wasn’t pretty and nor was it an easy road. It was an uphill battle to redemption. We got to visit with old characters and introduced to some new. They all got what they deserved.
Twitch was the perfect anti-hero and Lexi was his angel. He was her king and she was his queen. Together they were unstoppable. They made a family from the people in their lives that mattered. Blood doesn’t make you family. It’s your bonds, your loyalty and your love that makes a family.
I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone who loves dark romance. It’s a must read if you do!
To hear the words, there is more Twitch coming…was like the angels singing praise when I was going through numerous boxes of tissue from reading Raw #1! I could not wait to get my hands on this book. I had so many vacant feelings that needed a Twitch fix…
Diving into this book, many years have gone by. Lexi is surviving… battling still, the loss of Twitch. He was such an impressionable man in her life. Would she ever move on and have a life with her son and another man? It’s been over 5 years since he left, and Lexi has been faithful to Twitch still.
When AJ starts talking about his father visiting, Lexi is thrown into a tailspin.
When it all comes back…
Can she stay mad at the one who made her the happiest?
What a story this is. Even though he’s back, it’s not a smooth sailing happy ever after! Remember this is Twitch’s return…he disappeared for a reason. So returning now, there are people who are still after him!!!
I enjoyed this book…although at times felt that it was all over the place. It was great hearing that Twitch was back and ready to be with Lexi…I can only imagine that there are more books to come in this series as there were numerous new characters brought in for this book. At times, so many names flowing that I felt I needed a spreadsheet made up.
My heart will always bleed Twitch <3 Happy to hear from him again after all these years!!!

Hell yeah. What. A. Book. I loved that there was so much packed in here. The connection that Twitch and Lexi have is just so amazing. I am so glad that I reread the other two books right before diving into this one because I got to live in their world all over again. And what a messed up and crazy world it is.
Twitch is Back !!!!!
its been a long wait for this book, not so long for me as i only read Raw a year ago, but it was so worth the wait. I’ve been dying for the end to Twitch and Lexi’s story and this did not disappoint in the slightest. I literally devoured this book, i couldn’t put it down.
Lexi has been trying to rebuild her shattered life are Twitch’s “death” and bring up their son AJ the best way she can whilst mourning the love of her life. Twitch is doing all he can to make sure he can return safely to his family whilst keeping an eye on them both. He knows that its not going to be easy, Lexi was never going to accept him with open arms but he is determined to take back his family and make up for lost time.
Of course, a man like Twitch could never get rid of every enemy and when his past comes back to haunt him in a big way he will do anything and everything to protect those he loves.
Belle has done an amazing job with this book. Its everything i expected it to be and a fantastic way to finish 2018
Raw: Rebirth is the fantastic conclusion to Twitch and Lexi’s story. It was everything I hoped it would be, and more. It had me gripped from the beginning with what I can safely say is the best prologue I’ve ever read. Very, very clever and slightly uncomfortable, but wonderfully so.
The passing of time and life’s struggles have inevitably changed these two and six years on we see the stronger, more grown up versions of themselves. Ms Aurora has done an amazing job of allowing them to grow in a way which feels appropriate, without taking away from their unique personalities.
Twitch’s actions and how he chooses to re-emerge are so typically “him” and his stalkerish ways are still very much in evidence. No less dominant, no less the in charge, dark hero, when it comes to those he cares about I do feel he is kinder, less harsh, and I loved him for it. Twitch the criminal was formidable. As a family man, he is incredible. Lexi too has come into her own. Her feelings and actions are real and relatable. No longer the indecisive woman, lost in her own thoughts she has emerged from the trauma of the past and evolved into a strong, capable woman. I congratulate this author on the way she has cemented the connection between them in a much more emotional way than we’ve seen before.
I absolutely loved the cast of supporting characters, even the ones I loved to hate. The best, most interesting, villains are the ones who evoke conflicting emotions and this author is an expert at creating such fantastically twisted people, ones who make you pause for a moment and almost feel sorry for them.
This book is everything and has everything. Danger, drama, violence, twists and turns, excitement, humour I didn’t expect, love and loyalty, all told from multiple POV, which is my absolute favourite. As the story drew to a close, and I could see the last few sentences in my peripheral vision, I stopped reading for a minute or two, as I didn’t want to let these characters go! I’m so pleased we got to read the conclusion of Twitch and Lexi’s epic love story but I’m missing them already.
This book has been a long time coming.
When I first read Raw all those years ago, I remember how gobsmacked I was at that ending. Raw Rebirth has been the balm my scarred heart has been waiting for for five years.
Lexi is a fighter, but more than that she is a survivor. For the past few years living without Twitch, although has been hard, she’s managed to do it. For the sake of her son Lexi puts a smile on her face and goes through life. Her day begins and ends with her serious little boy who she loves without measure.
AJ is the perfect son. He loves his momma. But AJ had a secret, one that Lexi doesn’t believe. Every night his dad comes to visit him.
When Twitch finally decides to come back from the dead, it’s a big shocker to Lexi. She feels betrayed, and doesn’t know where everything stands. The man she’s mourned for so long is alive.
To be honest I was annoyed at Twitch. I know he had his reasons for leaving his family, but I felt like he took it for granted that they wouldn’t trult try to move on. But that’s Twitch for you- entitled and full of himself. Honestly I wouldn’t expect him to be anything else.
I did go back to do a reread of Raw, to refresh my memory. Raw Rebirth was more action packed in my opinion. My fear was that the story wouldn’t be cohesive as Belle had written the first book so long ago, but she’s a freaking fantastic writer. She made sure everything added up and made sense.
Raw Rebirth truly completed the story, and finally gave me the ending I was hoping for. Lexi and Twitch set the pages on fire with their chemistry. This book is highly recommended for people who enjoy dark, gritty, reads.
I have been a fan of this series for YEARS. This installment has had me on the edge of my seat with anticipation for FAR TOO LONG! Let me say that I was not disappointed in it.
I want to give you a couple of cautions regarding this series:
1. There are elements to it that some might think are … too much. I’m a fairly conservative reader myself, but there were a few scenes that I wasn’t into. That being said, these scenes do NOT take from the story.
2. You need to read these books in order. (I’ll put the links at the bottom if you want to check them out.)
It was a promise. He made a vow. Everything inside of me told me he would keep us safe. And like the idiot I was, I chose to believe that.
Twitch has always been one of my favorite characters for complicated reasons. I don’t really love everything about him, in fact there are a lot of things I do NOT like about him, but the thing that draws me is his fierceness. The fierce way he runs his business, the fierce way he protects those he loves, the fierce way he lives his life. He is unapologetic in the things & lives life on his terms. (If you’ve read any anti-hero series, it’s like that).
Now, in the previous book Twitch did something drastic in order to solve a problem. Was it really his only solution? We may never know, BUT it DRASTICALLY changed the lives of those around him and impacted much farther than he believed it would. When we begin this book, he is trying to find a way to get his life back … that is without being killed for lying to everyone he’s loved for so long.
This book has all the elements that drew me to the series: action, love, intrigue, and danger. The life these people live is not for the faint of heart. I have to say, I was most worried about Lexi in this installment. I’ve always been a little removed from Lexi — I like her a lot as a character, but I could never quite connect with her the way I have other female characters. I was a bit worried that I wouldn’t be able to identify with her choices regarding a lot of the things happening (I can’t tell you what they are, you HAVE to read for yourself!). Lexi surprised me and was much more than I hoped for. She is seriously one of the strongest women that in no way SEEMS strong. I loved that she fools so many people!
Overall, this was what I was waiting for. Was it perfect for me? No.
But I think it was perfect for Twitch’s world. <--I say Twitch's world, because he totally operates on his own & outside the normal expectations of society. This is DEFINITELY Twitch's world.
The long awaited Twitch is back. When I first read Raw I fell in love with theses two. Waited patiently for their return. It kinda worth it. Why is it kinda? Well, I liked Twitch the way the was. He changed after he had leave to keep Lexi safe.
Raw was a dark romance, and Rebirth was a closure book. There were some dark elements in the story. Mostly it about ridding the world they in of people who will harm their family.
I can’t even begin to describe this series it will be like nothing you have ever read.
There are long waits in between books however totally worth it. I devoured it slowly. It’s probably the longest book I have ever read but you don’t feel it.
You love Twitch, imagine Twitch as a dad, hello.
This was an epic read, if you read Raw you will absolutely love this.
I’m just going to say this, to fully enjoy and actually understand what’s going on in this book, reading Raw and Dirty before this would really make the most sense. So for all those that did read Raw, we know how it ended and that Twitch is not dead and keeping watch over his family from afar. Now, six years later and Twitch is tired of waiting to be brought back from the dead. Tired of watching his family live their lives without him. Tired of not being whole. When the day comes that Twitch finally can reveal himself to Lexi, things don’t really go as planned. Can Lexi forgive Twitch for what he has done? With Twitch coming back, how will the major players feel, and can he come back and not expect retribution?
HOLY COW! This book completely blew me out of the water! Like many others I was excited and ready for Twitch to reunite with Lexi and see him being a father, and this story did not disappoint at all! I loved the twists and turns this book took, loved that Lexi fought Twitch and loved the growth in Lexi as a whole. I really wanna see Happy, Dave & Nikki’s story play out as I’m not ready to leave this world that Belle Aurora has created. I give this 5 stars.
Twitch lovers have been waiting what seems like 6years for his return and now he’s back. Not only was he worth the wait but they all were.
Twitch is a changed man, we saw that in Raw and Dirty, now with his son in the picture his true character is ripped apart and put back together. If you thought jerky Twitch was hot just wait. Now he’s a father and fighting to be a dad. Swoony! He’s hotter than ever, Lexi is more badass than ever, and after 6years everyone and everything has changed. But their hearts still beat, and that’s is the key.
*I do stress you need to read Raw book 1, and Dirty book2 before you read Raw:Rebirth book 3 in order to follow the characters development and some of the back stories.* All the friends they’ve made throughout the other 2 books are still in their lives and are a big part of it. I really love everyone so much more now and a warning… I cried. A few times.
Antonio ‘Twitch’ Falco is back!!!
Ok we have all been waiting for this book desperately and IT WAS WORTH WAITING!!
The author has delivered an explosive and phenomenal story that was raw, passionate, cruel and endearing at the same time.
Twitch is back and he wants his life back- he wants Lexi, his woman… Angel and A.J but obviously life is not that easy …
Can he get his life back? Will Lexi forget and forgive ?
“it hurts to love you, Twitch.” I spoke through a shuddering exhale. “It always has.”
Finding out this book was on it’s way hot me to finally read Dirty. I held off because it didn’t start with Twitch and Lexi in book two. But knowing they would get their story made me able to read Ana and Julius’ story. While nothing can give the epic rollercoaster of insanity like book one did when it came out, this book is amazing in a new way. This isn’t a stand alone. It’s important you know that. Everything comes to a head and sooo much happens! It has a happy ending, and a wild ride to getting there. I have a feeling we aren’t completely done with this world?
OMG! Twitch it back!! I have waited for Twitch’s return forever it seems and OMG, the wait was soooo worth it. Daddy is finally home, Ladies. Just when you think that you couldn’t possible love Twitch anymore than you already do, he comes back from the dead looking just as hot as hell as he always did and makes you fall even deeper. Twitch and Lexi’s story has always stuck with me, they have and will always be my favorites. Getting the final book is bittersweet because I know that this will be the end. I slowly went into this one because of that fact. Raw: Rebirth is EVERYTHING and more than I ever expected. No disappointments here. I could re-read this series over and over and never get enough of Twitch. If you haven’t met Twitch…I don’t know what you are wait for. He is the baddest of the bad asses out there and I highly recommend that you read this series asap. You won’t be disappointed.
Happy Reading Everyone!!!
Twitch is back!! The long awaited conclusion is finally here!! It’s been six years since Lexi lost the love of her life raising a son on her own and sharing her life with old friends. Twitch is back and has a lot to make for and has a lot to be forgiven for but its Twitch and Lexi!
