I loved this story from the very first page. It carries on straight away from the ending of the first book and jumps right in. These two have a really interesting dynamic and a very honest feel to their relationship. I warmed to Elle a lot more in this story as she explored her carnal needs and felt she was a lot more open to Easton fulfilling his.
The Aaron and Chelsea dynamic is interesting and as much as I wanted stories for them after reading the first book I think I’m good with how their stories unfolded.
I haven’t read any of the Brad De Luca books but I’m definitely going to now after reading his and Julia’s scenes, he took the demanding alpha hotness to the next level.
This is super hot so make sure you’ve got plenty of time to relax and enjoy this story because it’s delicious!
REALLY, REALLY ENJOYED THIS ONE. A SEXILICIOUS TREAT OF SCORCHING HOT PROPORTIONS. The duet is now COMPLETE in all it’s hotness and this final part of the story, TWISTED MARRIAGE, totally made me blush
The duet is about a married couple who decide to explore sexual fantasies and boy does this make for a very HOT story and I’m so happy to report that it was very tastefully done and did not in any way feel sleezy. In fact, their love for each other was very much at the heart of the story, I felt their connection and their passion for one another and I was fascinated to see how their life choices within their marriage would play out.
In addition to the main couple who I warmed to instantly, Alessandra Torre cleverly, convincingly and comprehensively included one of her very famous and much-loved kinky book couples into the equation of this brand-new duet series without compromising the integrity of the love story of either book couple. I absolutely applaud her for this aspect. It was the perfect treat for fans of the Innocence Series and for those who don’t know what I’m talking about, Twisted Marriage will be the perfect introduction to Brad De Luca who is the undoubted star of another series from the penmanship of this author
Author Alessandra brought it…HARD!
Be prepared to want to jump your husband, wife, or significant other after or even while reading this book because it is that hot
It’s a super sexy, intense and raw story of Elle & Easton’s marriage & them discovering their sexual desires. Their love for one another is like no other.
They both love hard
They both have desires that they can’t hide from one another and won’t do without each other.
This is a very sexual read but throughout it all, it has the strong message which is COMMUNICATION with the ones you love makes your life spent a very satisfied and happy one!
I loved how Elle & Easton even with everything happening around them, they get each other. They love, they hurt, they feel all the emotions of being adults and being in a married lifestyle.
And Brad & Julia Deluca from the Innocence Series make an unforgettable return that will forever be one of the hottest comebacks ever! Their appearance is key to Elle & Easton breaking that tension of thinking their is something wrong with wanting more in their sexual adventures.
Go grab this Top 2019 must read!
5 popped into oblivion!
Twisted Marriage is the continuation of the Filthy Vows Duet and picks up right where book one left off, with Elle and Easton after their sizzling sexual experience with a trusted close friend.
Elle communicated her most forbidden sexual fantasies to Easton, and through trust and love and openness, they embarked on that first time sexual experience together and now feel the pull to take it even further.
But now they are faced with how to navigate and explore their new erotic sex life with someone other than a known friend, finding most ways to connect to this new world as creepy and untrustworthy.
Elle and Easton are given the most surprising offer to explore their fantasies with an exquisite couple that are well experienced in the swinger lifestyle….. your e-reader may melt a little from the extreme HOTNESS!!!
I fell in love with Elle and Easton, with their strong and fierce love for one another, with open honesty and trust in each other, and how their bond and intimacy grew stronger with every shared experience!!
Elle and Easton shared the most filthy vows that combusted into a twisted marriage that fit them perfectly!!!
Talk about hot and steamy this book had it all. I had anxiously awaited the follow up to Filthy Vows and this one did not disappoint. The storyline with the money and career issues, fertility, and sexual needs carried over from the first book with all the angst and questions of what comes next. I love Elle and Easton’s characters with their love for each other, but there is a glimpse of the doubts and insecurity felt that really added to the story. There are great sub-stories dealing with best friends and new friends as they make their way through this new lifestyle. Great book.
Easton and Elle North’s story continues in Alessandra Torre’s Twisted Marriage . . . and I couldn’t be more excited to catch up with this couple!
When we last saw Easton and Elle, they had stepped outside of the traditional marriage norm and invited a third to participate for a night none of them would ever forget. And, now that they’ve had a taste of the unexpected in the bedroom, they struggle with their desires for wanting more and how they maintain their own version of a happy and loving marriage.
What can I say about this book and this couple? There is hot . . . and then, there is Easton and Elle! Honestly, my mind was blown! Twisted Marriage was one of the hottest books I have ever read. This couple is everything to one another. They support each other in everything, including the “twisted” if that is what makes the other happy,and it totally works for hem, And, underneath all that kink, they are a totally normal couple with worries about money, jealousy, fertility, work, etc .
I loved Elle’s unexpected relationship with her client Julia DeLuca and for fans of the first boo, the Chelsea / Aaron drama was a fantastic side plot as was the issues Easton faced with his client Nicole.
Twisted Marriage was so well written that you feel like you are living life right along with Elle and Easton, and I loved every single page. 5 stars!
So my review for book one, Filthy Vows, I stated that I loved the book but I think she was misleading in the blurb. I really enjoyed that book despite think the blurb was off. Diving into this one I was hoping for more of that hot connection between Elle, Easton, and Aaron. That scene felt like so much more because of their previous connection. I really wanted more between these three, whether he joined them occasionally or all the time, I just wanted more.
Aaron was one of my favorite characters and he was practically cut out of this book. He made occasional appearances but that was it.
I think if the first blurb was different and I wasn’t expecting more, than this book would have been rated higher for me. I still feel that she made this phenomenal blurb, and then the books didn’t match or live up to it. That is the reason behind me feeling bummed over this one.
There was a bit to much “realism” in here. I want books to real-ish but not that real. Then Chelsea just got on my nerves, she was ridiculous. Also, I think this book was a bit all over the place. Almost like she had several ideas and kinda just threw them together.
Despite my complaints, I read this and did semi enjoy it. It was and won’t be a favorite of mine from her but it was ok. Alessandra is a great author, and writes some of my favorite books, but this one just won’t be at the top of my list despite the fact that I thought it was ok.
This picked up where it left in book 1; I wish there was Easton’s POV. He’s still all alpha and aims to please his wife. Elle appetitive is just as strong as book 1 but still much in love with Easton. Their relationship was stronger in this one and the love her and Easton shared was enviable. I didn’t kind of like her bff attitude in this book but other than that it wasn’t bad.
I loved book one – Filty Vows, but there were things that were still needing settled so when I seen that Elle and Easton were getting another book, I couldn’t wait to see where the story took them, and if I thought things couldn’t get hotter between this couple, Torre just turned things up 100%.
I love reading about Elle and Easton and they are probably one of my favourite couples I have read in a while. I liked that they were real and had all the domestics of a real relationship and real struggles. They are such a solid couple with so much love and trust for each other, and that really came through in Torre’s words.
Elle and Easton are still keen on exploring their sexual fantasies and inviting another into their bed but wanting to do it in the safest way possible. When they meet Julia and Brad DeLuca, things really turn around. This book it HOT HOT HOT and all sexual encounters had me fanning myself.
I haven’t read Brad and Julia DeLuca’s story, but after this book, I’ll definitely be going to check it out.
This was a real sexual treat to read and I devoured this book. Elle and Easton are a couple I could read about all day, I had such a happy face while reading them and Torre hinting at possibly more from them in the afterword makes me happy. I liked the ending, but I just wanted more, but that’s probably due to my crush on them both.

Fans of Alessandra Torre’s Innocence series no doubt gasped (and maybe quivered) with delight when they read the bonus chapter of this book at the conclusion of Filthy Vows. A character we’ve come to love and lust over makes an appearance, so when you open Twisted Marriage, you might be even more anticipatory than with just a continuation of Elle and Easton’s story.
The good news is that our beloved character does show up, and he does do what we want him to do, but he isn’t the point to this book. Nor should he be. Twisted Marriage is a look at what happens to a marriage after the couple decides to act upon their desires.
In Filthy Vows, we saw Elle and Easton work through her fantasies and bring them to fruition. Here, Alessandra Torre shows us the aftermath. Now that they have opened that box, does it belong to Pandora or Aphrodite?
One of the things I loved about Filthy Vows was the strength of Elle and Easton’s marriage. It’s a bit tested now that they have engaged in a threesome, but Torre never lets you worry for long. These two work together to find a sexual rhythm that works for them. It involves discussion and exploration, particularly of the emotional sort.
Torre also shows that what happens in a marriage does not necessarily stay in a marriage. Sometimes it affects the outer world, too. When Elle and Easton decided to pull his best friend into their sex life, they risked taking their desires outside their marriage. There is another friend who becomes a part of this arrangement, and that person may struggle with understanding and accepting.
In Filthy Vows, we saw how Elle and Easton’s professional malaise affected their marriage. Torre continues playing with that idea here. Their sex life could have repercussions in their jobs, too, something that adds extra significance to their decisions.
The sex scenes bear Alessandra Torre’s sublime skill at pacing and detail. One scene in particular is deliciously lengthy. What makes these moments so arousing, however, is the emotional intensity of Elle and Easton. On the one hand, their desires feel dangerous; on the other, they feel vital and affirmative.
In her note at the end, Torre says she isn’t sure she is finished with Elle and Easton. I hope she isn’t. Maybe it’s selfish, but I’d love to see her explore more with them.
If I thought the first book was insanely hot, then book two, Twisted Marriage , is a scorching inferno!
I wanted more of Easton and Elle’s story and Alessandra Torre delivered generously with all the naughtiness, love and trust I could handle.
And while the erotic level of this book is deliciously high, what made this story sexy for me is the unshakable bond between Easton and Elle and the strength of their marriage that could withstand living out their fantasies.
There is also something humbling about their story as you go through the aftermath with them and experience the up’s and down’s one might feel after pushing the proverbial envelope.
Twisted Marriage picks up right where Filthy Vows left off (and of course you should read it before starting this one) and I have to say, continued on with a story that gave me everything I was hoping for between Easton and Elle…..but I still want more!! (I am obsessed with them!).
I would recommend this book and any other book by this author. Her writing style is amazing, her stories are fresh, addictive and romantic with a whole bunch of erotica woven in for your reading pleasure.
I have yet to be disappointed and I doubt I ever will be.
*FANS SELF*
Mrs. Torre pulls out all the stops in the second book of this sinfully sexy duet!
Twisted Marriage picks up right where Filthy Vows left off. I love these characters so much. Easton is just hot AF and Elle is his conflicted and confident counterpart. The two together are the dream team!
Easton is in many ways, an ideal husband. Supportive, patient, loving, HOT. He has his own insecurities which are warranted and realistic because let’s be honest, who wouldn’t be nervous exploring the bedroom in such a taboo way. But man, he’s so charismatic and charming that you just can’t help but fall head over heels for him.
Elle is one kinky, naughty wife She stays in her lane though when necessary and knows when to venture further and supports and reassures her husband when it’s needed. She’s also adamant that her husband is and always will be her #1.
The only thing I’d complain about is not seeing Aaron again. There is, however, always space for a book 3 if Mrs. Torre decides to treat us…..
These two really are marriage goals. Relationship goals. Couple goals. The trust and faith they have in each other is unparalleled. The steam factor in this is SCORCHING HOT DEGREES so be sure to have a fan or even air conditioning on when you read it. With cameos of Brad DeLuca (an Alessandre hero for the ages) and his wife, this book is naughty and hot but a beautiful expression of a loving, loyal and faithful marriage even with other parties involved in the bedroom play.
Highly recommend this duet.

Twisted Marriage was smoking hot. I loved it. It deals with some of the same issues from the first book as well as some new ones. I loved diving into Elle and Easton’s world again and exploring their filthy fantasies. If you love erotic romance that highlights serious issues I can’t recommend this book enough.

I loved Twisted Marriage. I loved that Elle and Easton had a normal marriage, normal problems, and normal, crazy life issues. Their story was different but understandable. I love Alessandra’s writing and this duet did not disappoint!!!!
This is the sequel to Filthy Vows and if you weren’t sure about that book, this one will answer some of those questions. I wasn’t sure I wanted another book about an untraditional view of marriage but Alessandre brings issues to light that aren’t commonly considered to be politically correct.
The answers that Easton and Elle need to find are not easy ones to answer. What is a good marriage? What does it take to appreciate what you’ve got? How important is friendship in the whole scheme of things? Another five star that I didn’t expect but enjoyed immensely, because of the view from the other side.
I think my face reading this would have been a display of every emotion. There was the sexy face, the shocked face, the happy face, the unbelievable face, the heart shaped eye face, the laughing face. I just didn’t have a crying face. No tears at all.
I adore Elle and Easton. Love. Love. Love them. The depth of their love. The devotion. The way they fit each other perfectly. The food fights. They are seriously couples goals. Relationship goals. Marriage goals.
Filthy Vows was supposed to be a one and done, but it felt like there was so much more giving to be had. It only touched on the story of Elle and Easton. And readers wanted more. We needed a post Aaron story. I needed post Aaron, hence Twisted Marriage was born.
Hello Brad and Julia DeLuca. I remember you two, you naughty pair. They could be teachers of lessons in sharing toys. Brilliant insight. Great lessons.
Lovely, unashamedly dirty read. Filthy but fabulous.
Could there be a third…..?
Confessions…those are what led Elle and Easton North to explore their sexual fantasies, together, while participating in a number of escapades that would most definitely be classified as forbidden or taboo, but in Elle and Easton’s eyes, the dalliances they have with other people, the filthy and twisted encounters they revel in are only meant to spice things up not destroy what they view as a strong and healthy marriage.
But, regardless of how much a married couple can be on the same page when it comes to stepping out of their comfort zone and steeping into the kinkier and dirtier side of their sexual appetites, when it comes to matters of the heart, repercussions, consequences, insecurities, and complications must be dealt with and worked through so that as their relationship changes and adjusts to their newfound wants and needs, they never lose who they are as a friends, partners, and lovers.
What happens behind closed doors between a married couple and who they choose to invite into their bedroom is not wholly acceptable by society; oftentimes, unconventional, taboo, and/or twisted acts are frowned upon, but that’s not really what Twisted Marriage is about…because while there is a fear of judgment and a negative perception of what Easton is fulfilling for his wife, what makes everything even more tenuous is what they risk in exploring Elle’s sexual desires and the questions they may come into play the further into their exploration they go.
Some people would argue that the fact that Elle desires to bring another person into their marriage bed in order to explore her kinkier, more sexualized self proves that her and Easton’s marriage is not a healthy one – that they can’t fulfill each other’s every want and need, and while I can somewhat understand where these people are coming from, if they ever wanted to test their theory and read about a married couple who are more than enough for one another but are just looking to spice things up a bit, they need look no further than Elle and Easton North.
The trials and tribulations of a marriage, even a happily married couple, are realistically portrayed in Twisted Marriage, allowing readers to find a common ground with Elle and Easton, even if they would never choose the path that this couple took to explore another side of themselves. What’s clear despite the missteps and roadblocks this couple faces is that through all the highs and lows, ups and downs of their marriage, the one thing that has kept them together is their undying love for one another and because that idea resonates from the pages of this story, I never doubted that they would make it through…that they would remain a happy and loving husband and wife – a partnership that will only grow with what they’ve added to their marriage instead of costing them everything.
I appreciate the way Alessandra Torre explores the nuances of this story line and works tirelessly to show what Elle and Easton mean to each other and that the fact that they want to explore their sexual sides a bit more doesn’t mean that they can’t satisfy one another’s every desire. This is just the path they decided worked for them and while a lot of couples would never choose this approach, Torre makes it extremely difficult to judge Mr. and Mrs. North because they remain what they’ve always been to each other – everything.
4.5 Poison Apples
Holy hotness!!!! Alessandra turned up the heat in Twisted Marriage!!! I enjoyed reading more about Elle and Easton. This book has all the feels and will definitely make you blush!!
Twisted Marriage picks up right where Filthy Vows left off, the morning after the threesome with Aaron. Elle was a little concerned that things would be weird with Aaron, but she got over it pretty quickly. Life for everyone goes back to normal. Elle meets the Deluca’s when she becomes their realtor. She and Julia become quick friends. She found out that they’re swingers from her friend Chelsea. One thing leads to another and the two couples share a hot “moment.” It was pretty sexy. And I felt that Easton and Elle learned from that experience.
It was fun seeing Brad and Julia again. Its been years since I read their story in the Innocence books. I really enjoyed reading more about Easton and Elle. They are an amazing, realistic couple. Well, realistic in the way that they live normal, everyday lives. I love how secure and devoted they are. I honestly enjoyed all aspects of this book and would love to read more on The Norths and their friends, Chelsea and Aaron.

OMG!! I thought Filthy Vows was explosive but Twisted Marriage was even more!! This book rocked my socks off. I thought this book was even better and hotter than the first book.
I didn’t know what to expect when Alessandra said she was writing another book for Easton and Elle, but I knew after reading the first book and how it ended, I wanted more of their story. I was NOT disappointed!!!
I thought the storyline had more depth in this book and showed an accurate portrayal of what a married couple does and experiences when trying to spice things up. I loved the ups and downs Elle and Easton faced. It was nice knowing everything wasn’t smooth sailing for them. It made it more relatable and believable.
This book is NOT a standalone novel. You HAVE to read Filthy Vows first because this book is a continuation off of that story. This story is told solely from Elle’s POV. And it is truly an erotic escape for any romance reader. This book will melt your kindle, it is that HOT!!!
So if you are a fan of Alessandra’s books, you don’t want to miss this duet. It is melt your kindle HOT and Elle and Easton are a couple you will want to meet. Add this book to you TBR list NOW!!!
