MY REVIEW
Distorted is the debut novel for Laura Dunaway. Laura lays the groundwork for an intriguing love triangle and one that is a definite page turner. I give this debut novel a strong 4 star rating!

Aly Chase has been the personal assistant to Paul Pierce at Pierce Homes, for three fulfilling years. This is more than just a job to Aly; she embraces every aspect and excels with public relations. I thoroughly enjoyed Aly’s strong and independent personality.    

Paul Pierce is the son of the Pierce Homes founder and he currently runs company. Paul is definite swoon worthy material! His natural charisma is enchanting and it goes a long way that he really is a good person at heart. 

Unbeknownst to Paul, Aly has been in love with him for three years. They work circles around each other and can almost read each other minds. After an out-of-town business trip Aly and Paul develop a romantic chemistry. IT IS HOT AND STEAMY! Just when you think they "just had the most amazing office sex", we are thrown a MAJOR game changer. Can Aly forgive and forget????

Ethan Baker is Aly’s best friend and her strong constant. He is Mr. Sex on a Stick! He has a way with the ladies but rarely dates anyone very long. Ethan has been in love with Aly since the night he met her back in college.

“I know you are confused right now, but hell yes, I love you and it feels good to finally say it.” ~ Ethan

You will get an excerpt of Laura's next book at the end of Distorted. I can promise you that it is a heart stopper!

EXCERPT

“You’re beautiful, you know that?” he asked.

I stopped what I was doing and looked at him. He was just sitting there, casually watching me with the sweetest look on his face. My heart lurched and I was frozen. 

His brows drew together. “I mean it,” he said.

I gave him a small smile. “Thank you,” I said quietly as I got his food out of the microwave. I put it on his plate and handed him a beer from the fridge. He smiled at me as he twisted up a mouthful on his fork and dove in.

I leaned on the counter, drinking another glass of wine, and watching him eat. He popped the cap off of his beer and took a long drink. He set the bottle down with a big, “Ahh,” and gave me a silly grin.

“Ethan, what did I do to deserve you?” I asked, suddenly very serious.

He stopped mid-chew and looked at me. “What brought that on?”

I sighed and set down my wine glass. “I don’t know. I just see you here, with me, being so cute, and I wonder. I mean, you know I’ve been in love with Paul for years, yet you never wavered, you stayed with me. And even now, when we’ve developed more to our relationship and I haven’t been able to give you any promises, you’re still here.”

He set his fork down and shoved off his stool, walking around the bar to come next to me. He grabbed my hips and pulled me to him, wrapping me in his arms. He kissed the top of my head, rubbing my back.

“Aly, you know better than that. I am here to stay, no matter what you decide. If you ultimately decide Paul is the man for you, or anyone else for that matter, I can’t say it won’t kill me, but I’ll always love you. We were friends first and we will be friends last, no matter what.”
