Twisted Vow (Sinful Truths, #2)

This the second book in this series as I considered it’s a cat and mouse game played out by Julian and Zeke. Siren/Aria is being used to pull Zeke into a trap of truth or sin with Julian as the puppet master pulling Siren strings. I don’t know Julian true motives for wanting information but Zeke is faithful as he realized Julian have vital substances on Siren to use against her. Will Julian obtains the information he desired? I’m wondering what happened to Zeke as in the previous series he was strong, calculating and clever with the take no junk attitude. Who needs protection Zeke or Siren? There are many twists and turns in the end that includes everyone in this fast paced twisted game.

Ella blows me away again. Twisted Vow is the 2nd in the Sinful Truth Series and keeps you on your seat and biting your nails the entire time. Siren can’t lie, but she can keep secrets. Zeke can’t let the Black organization down, he has to protect them. Can he do that and keep himself safe? And can he do that and keep Siren safe and at a safe distance at the same time. They are two very strong and stubborn people will they make a good match or will they bring each other down.

I go through it every time. I should know better by now. One of these days I’ll be prepared to be the emotional wreck that I am now that I’ve finished this book. Like Enzo and Kai’s story before them, Zeke and Siren have taken me to some dark and dangerous places I’m not sure I wanted to go, but oh the twisted secrets I learned by going there. I still adore Zeke, and I still haven’t completely made up my mind about Siren. I both love and hate her and what she’s done… is doing… to my precious Zeke. And I’m still terrified of where else their story is going to take us.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.

This is book two in Zeke and Aria’s story. You must read these books in order to fully understand the story thus far. Well, the twists they keep coming! This book will definitely keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat. Drama, suspense, danger, secrets and sizzling heat pull you into this series and leave you craving more.

Gosh, I miss Zeke. Where is he?

What has happened to MY Zeke? He’s no longer the gorgeous, strong, Rambo type with a heart of gold. MY Zeke is NOT a wuss, but this clone of Zeke is! I say clone because there is no way MY Zeke would allow himself to be betrayed by a woman, look the other way and then crave and lust after her. Nope, what have you done to MY Zeke?

Just who is Siren…. or should I say what is Siren? She tries to act all self-righteous but that woman is as guilty as Julian. She claims to hate Julian and what he does, but she is the one with dirty hands. Yes, I realize Julian is holding something over her head. BUT, if she’s half as smart as she thinks she is, she would have figured a way out a long time ago. After all, she’s a seductress. She lures in her prey and then ki11s them.

Beckett …. interesting, to say to least. Wonder if we’ll see more of him?

HMMMM…. I MUST ASK WHY?
The Black organization should be able handle Julian without missing a beat. So, Zeke, why not involve them? Julian’s main goal is to take out Enzo. What Julian doesn’t know is he has someone much smarter than Siren to deal with when he tries for Enzo. Kai could rip Julian a new one … easy. So why not alert them so they can be one up on Julian, and by default, Siren? Zeke, my love, maybe you need a little more faith in your ‘family’.

Siren has no scruples … at all. Kai does, and that is a big part of Kai’s strength and Siren’s weakness. Yes, I know Siren’s sob story, but…. it’s just not enough. She hates Julian for the things he supports, but does the very things she hates in order for Julian to achieve victory. No excuses… Siren is weak. Yes, she is tough with many scars on her body to show. But she still is weak. She says the only scar on her body that needs healing is the one over her heart …. but that scar is ‘unhealable’. Well, maybe…. just maybe, that scar could be healed if she’d figure out a way to handle Julian. Seven years is a long time to commit Julian’s ‘sins’.

OBSERVATIONS:

… No way Zeke would allow Beckett to escape that bedroom. Zeke is too calculated. He would never let his cojones rule him while on a job, especially one which meant life or death. So, I must concur that Zeke did die in the ocean and this is just a clone.

… Zeke, ahhhhh, Zeke honey. You just bring in Kai. She’ll know how to handle Julian just fine. And he never will know what hit him. You’re a team Zeke, don’t forget it. You’re not a one man show. Julian is just the type of man and organization that Kai wants to end. Between her, Enzo, Langston and you…. poor, poor Julian…. and Oscar too. You know how much Kai hates human traffickers. She has personal experience in that kidnapping arena. She’s a fast learner and KNOWS the ins and outs of dealing with them. Let Siren sit back and watch. Let her see just how wonderful it is to have friends, family and loyalty given out of love, not sin.

CONFESSION TIME:

…I love how Ella Miles weaves together action, drama, love, sensitivity, and plot twists into her storylines. She keeps the reader guessing and when you think you have it all figured out, she sneaks in a zinger of a plot twist.

… I had to skim over a lot of the text. Just way to much ‘sin’ that didn’t involve the main plot or storyline. Potty mouths and acrobatics in bed don’t hold my interest. It needs to be balanced with character development and plot. I don’t mind dark and don’t mind steamy as long as it strengthens the storyline. But for me, too much of the ‘steam’ took away from the story in a way that made the lead characters weak.

… I keep wondering where Zeke hid those women and what role that will play in the future….hmmmmm.

This is the second book in this series and it doesn’t disappoint! This book has it all….action, suspense, drama, and a great set of characters. Zeke and Sirens story continues. These books keep getting better as more is unveiled and each one is well written and very entertaining. Definitely recommend

This did not disappoint! There’s something about the complex connection between Zeke and Siren that has me hooked on this dark romance. Part 2 in the series picks up right where Sinful Truth left off and ends on quite the cliffhanger of its own (these MUST be read in order to make sense). I love Ella Miles’ writing style, which makes it easy to get drawn into a relationship that might not always be the healthiest. Neither Zeke nor Siren is completely sure that they can trust each other, just as the reader isn’t completely sure that the author is telling them everything they need to know either. While there were a few small things that bugged me (the amount of bloodshed and OM/OW drama threatened to tip this into 4-star category), I could feel the connection between these two and the chemistry is undeniable. The story moves quickly, features plenty of suspense, and has elements of darkness without crossing any unforgivable lines. Zeke is undoubtedly the best part of this series, but Siren seems like the perfect partner to him.

If you’ve read Sinful Truth, then you know what to expect from the storyline in this book – and please don’t read this unless you’ve read that first. This delves a little deeper into Siren’s motivations for her actions, and fleshes out the relationship better. It’s got plenty of steamy moments but it’s also easy to see how much these two understand each other on a deeper level… despite the secrets they keep. I’m excited to see what’s next for Zeke and Siren since their relationship didn’t get any less complicated throughout the course of the book – if anything they are left in an even messier place than they were last time.

WOW I am in love with this series and with each book the series just keeps evolving with twists and turns. Zeke and Siren aka Aria relationship keeps evolving to another level. There is no doubt they are so into each other but there are so many complications. All I can say is Ella is a fantastic storyteller with such unique series. Ends again on a cliffhanger. Can’t wait for the next book in this series!!! BRAVO once again to Ella for Twisted Vow Book 2 in the series.

Ella Miles flawlessly engaged us into Book 2 of the “Sinful Truths” with the well written storyline, a plot that flowed smoothly from page to page and characters that were so wonderfully created that I was totally captivated throughout the entire book!

Holy Wow! Zeke and Siren deal with all sorts of drama. They keep protecting one another and showing they care for each other, but fight it! Can’t wait to see what happens next!
