Now a college grad with a promising career, a closer relationship with the two strong forces in her life, Celeste Styles is finally comfortable in her own skin. The fit is near perfect despite the ache she still harbors for her forbidden love, Rah-lo. Celeste made a true gangsta move and ran from the lifestyle of being Rah-lo's mistress and the drama it entailed with his ghetto-fabulous wife, Asia.

Although disheartened with Celeste's disappearing act, Raheem Rah-lo Henderson charged it to the game and kept it moving. He is still miserably married to Asia and is attempting to salvage this farce of a union for his girls' sake. He and lifelong friend Ishmael Wright continue their get money hustle although a sense of distrust has caused an invisible breach in their relationship. Ishmael is reluctantly cohabitating with Nina, but still has jump-offs because of his hesitancy to commit. Rah-lo and Ishmael are both living challenging lives with their jealous and devious ladies and both are still secretly fantasizing about Celeste being their soul mate.

Twisted brings us up to speed on the drama surrounding Rah-lo, Celeste, and Ishmael, after the burning of Celeste's Dime Piece salon. Distance does seem to make the heart grow fonder, but jealousy, lies, deceit, lust, backbiting, obsessing, and a touch of insanity are just a few of the emotions running rampant in this joint! Ms. Brown did bring closure to this tale of forbidden lovers. Good job Ms. Brown!

I just finished reading Twisted and the book was really interesting. Although, I didn't read Dime Piece I was able to understand this book.

I enjoyed reading this book. I even stayed up late to finish it because I just had to see how it was all going to turn out. There were many times as I was reading, I would find myself shouting at the pages because I was right there with these folks-caught up in the drama. I have not the other books by Tracy Brown, but I didn't feel behind in the story. I am however going to be going back to catch up with the books that I missed. I really enjoyed this book. Now, I'll have to see what happens next.

First off let me say I love everything Tracy Brown,from Dime Piece to Black, Criminal Minded, White Lines, to Twisted, this chick has failed to disappoint. No need to go into details about the book everyone else has done that, Im just gonna say it again Tracy Be's That Chick!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you go girl.

The book kept me wondering what would happen at the end. I love all of Tracy Brown's books however she kept repeating things over and over and i felt as though this was a very short story that was drawn out long. I still gave my girl 4 stars because it was a good sequel.

Tracy does it again in Twisted. It was not a slow moment in the book. It was good reading up and finding out the ending of the first characters in Dime Piece. Keep up the keep work.

Tracy Brown's sequel to "Dimepeice" does not dissapoint!! The whole cast of character is back so let the drama begin!!
Celeste has fled to Atlanta after growing tired of being Rah'lo's mistress and dealing with his thug lifestyle. After burning down her shop, she flees New York.
Back in NY Rah-lo and his main man Ishmael are still feeling Celeste miles away. Rah-lo is fed up with his trifling wife Asia. Ishamael also has his hands full with all the ladies he deals with. Meanwhile in the ATL Celeste has landed her a good man, successful and not a thug. A strange turn of events will bring all these chracters back together for one DRAMA filled explosive ending!!! Does Celeste want Rahlo back? Will Ishamael end up with Celeste? Will Asia let her husband leave her? Will Celeste's past come back to haunt her?

This story takes off where Dime Piece ended. All the major players are back in this book Ismael, Raheem aka Rah-Lo,Celeste,Asia, and a few old friends from Dime Piece. We catch up with Celeste as she tries to start over her life in The ATL. Rah-Lo and Asia's marriage is so on the rocks in this book that it's soon to tip over. Ish is a something else in this book he's sleeping with friends and trying to move out of Rah-Lo's shadow and take the spot light himself this time. This book was great from the beginning to the end. The last few chapters put you on a fast paced ride that you don't want to end.This book is classic Tracy Brown and I loved the way it ended. Ms. Brown is truly a gifted author and I can't wait for her next book.

I have been waiting for this book, I enjoed Dime Piece and equally enjoyed this sequal. I think the Rah-lo's wife Asia and Ishamels girl Nina were crazy, so crazy to the point it was just plain sad. Tracy Brown did a good job, i was not dissapointed. Would reccommend this book to anyone who enjoyed dime piece and wanted to know what happened to Celeste Rah-lo, Ishmael, and those crazy chicks lol.

A word advice ladies, If a man don't want you, i kno it may be hard but move on. Know that everything happens for a reason and if it was meant to be it would be. Don't chase a man who don't want you, you'll just end up lookin crazy!

I read this book the first time some time back, and each time I re-read it, I have time same reaction. It pains me what happened to Ishmael!!! I love the relationship with Celeste and Rah-Lo and would love to hear more from these characters, and maybe Ishmael can make a dramatic come back. This book is what turned me on to "urban fiction". Great read, keep them coming Tracy!
