'You have to understand that we never meant for it to happen. We knew it was stupid. We knew it was wrong. '
Eighteen-year-old Danni Warren has big plans for her last summer before college: a cool job, a concert she wouldn’t miss for the world, and spending time with her beautiful girlfriend, Esme. But after one hell of an argument, Danni’s mother packs her off to stay with her estranged step-uncle, Gabe, in his lodge on the coast. So begins a weekend of the worst punishment imaginable: no phone signal.
With his sunkissed good looks and sarcastic manner, twenty-nine-year-old Gabe isn’t anything like Danni expected. She wants to hate him—he’s her punishment for standing up to her mother—but between surfing lessons and beach hikes, they grow close. Maybe too close.
Now Danni’s questioning everything: old family secrets, her future, her strained relationship with Esme. One sun stained afternoon, Gabe and Danni go too far. And then everything else falls apart...

Twisted Summer is an remarkable read. I love how unique the storyline to this book is. I first read it on Kindle and loved every second of it, from beginning to end. The painful part was not having a second book to move onto. I’d love to be able to read more about their story, find out what happens later on. But maybe that book will come to pass some day in the future.
Danni is such a great protagonist. Her characteristics are so finely written by Morgan that the connection you feel whilst reading is so mimetic, you laugh, cry and feel your heart quicken when she does. Each passing second of this book feels like your own journey.
Gabe has an amazing air about him! His personality along with his easy going nature really allows you to see how Danni’s summer got a little twisted. He’s the kind of guy you fall in love with without realising you’ve done so.
The setting, atmosphere, plot, storyline, characters and everything else about this book feels so very, very really. Morgan has managed to write a piece of dark romance that conveys a story we only ever touch on in our world. A sort of taboo subject that is thought but unspoken.
Twisted Summer is wonderfully crafted and well written book and anyone looking for a fresh, unique and amazingly hot book, Twisted Summer is a must read for you!
