About the Book:

Mallory Baldwin is a survivor. A former victim of human trafficking, she’s been given a second chance, yet not a night goes by that she doesn’t remember being a slave to weapons dealer Dante Torres. Despite being afraid of the dark and wary of strangers, Mallory is trying to rebuild her life by turning her tragedy into redemption.

To former Navy SEAL Tennyson Walker, Mallory seems nothing like the shattered woman he rescued two years ago, and he can’t help but be inspired by her strength and resilience. So when a stalker suddenly makes Mallory vulnerable once again, Tennyson steps up as her bodyguard to keep her safe.

Mallory and Tennyson’s mutual attraction can’t be ignored, but neither can Mallory’s suspicion that Tennyson is keeping a terrible secret about her past. As the nightmare closes in, it’s not only Mallory and Tennyson’s love that comes under fire but their very lives as well. Will their faith sustain them? Or will the darkness win once and for all?

My Thoughts:

May I just begin with this: I am in LOVE with Tennyson Walker!  He is my kind of hero: strong, loyal, and built like a handsome tank!  "Distorted" is Christy Barritt's latest release, and she has once again taken a swing for the fence...

...and knocked it out of the fictional park.

Sex trafficking is a reality for far too many men, women, teen boys, and teen girls.  I'm so grateful that Barritt chose to shine a spotlight on this horrific crime in "Distorted".  She also tackles stalking, and finding your inner strength to become a warrior instead of a victim.

Both Tennyson and Mallory are well-written characters, and Barritt's uncanny knack for creating romantic tension while torturing her readers with red herrings as we reach the final climax of the story combine for a 'do not miss' read.

Ideal for summer reading, grab your copy of "Distorted" today!  I purchased a copy for my Kindle Fire, but I encourage you to buy the real deal...because paper books are just better!  I'm giving Barritt's "Distorted" my "packs a punch" stamp of approval.  Until the next novel hits my hands (or my Kindle!)...
