    About this audiobook

    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?

      Title: DistortedAuthor: Christy BarrittPages: 336Year: 2017Publisher: WaterfallMy rating 5+ out of 5 stars.Now, if like me, you have read the books in order Dubiosity, Disillusioned and now Distorted, I hope you are as rocked about them as I am! Distorted really seemed to cap off the series when a young socialite woman becomes a victim of human trafficking. Not only that but Mallory Baldwin knows her parents were killed the same night she was abducted. Now, a year later, with what sounds like a small arms war outside the compound where she is held captive enter Navy SEAL Tennyson Walker and other members of the team trying to take down a drug and arms dealer. Or did they?Now, two years later, Mallory has been through some therapy and written a book in hopes of helping other victims become victors. When she is about to go on tour, threats begin to surface. Therefore, a bodyguard is hired to make sure nothing happens to Mallory. Grant is the man setting up the PR tour and Tennyson knows he needs more help to fight off the cartel he thought was destroyed.Both Mallory and Tennyson have broken hearts and souls from issues they must face while trying to put their lives back together. As the threats and body count starts to rise, it is time to bring in yet another guard, but Mallory just can’t seem to feel safe with anyone other than Tennyson. He has to tell her about his past that directly affects her. He might even let her know about a past incident that broke his heart.What readers will enjoy is the budding romance between Tennyson and Mallory as well as the action, adventure and how a couple of the characters learn that to live is to trust and lean on the Lord. While it sounds easy to some of the characters, others will learn it is a slow process that takes courage while placing one foot before the other. I cannot recommend these three stories highly enough as they are so far the best of the best of what I have read to date in 2017!Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or services mentioned above for free in the hope that I would mention it on my blog.

      This is a good read. I liked the 2 main characters.
    • 2/5
      This book was a little sappy on the love theme. It wasn’t a true blue thriller. I would have liked a more interweaving of characters. Too predictable
    • 5/5
      Distorted is a thrill ride from beginning to end! The reader gets drawn into the action and suspense from the very beginning. Mallory, the main character in the book is a survivor of human trafficking. While vacationing in the Caribbean, her family was murdered and she was held captive for over a year. After her rescue, she took some time for herself and received counseling and has now written a book and is getting ready to head out on a speaking tour to encourage other survivors. Now that she is back in the public eye, she starts receiving threatening emails from an anonymous stalker and weird events start occurring in the cities she is visiting. So, former Navy Seal Tennyson Walker is brought in to protect her. However, this is not the first time they have met. He is the man who rescued her from her captor. It is a race against time for Walker to keep Mallory safe and get to the bottom of who is after her. The reader will be on the edge of her seat with lots of questions of who is behind all this. Just when you think you have it all figured out of who is after Mallory, the author throws you another curve ball and you just keep reading!In my opinion, Christy Barritt handled the very difficult and heartbreaking issue of human trafficking very well in this novel. I appreciated her approach of having Mallory striving to become a victor and not a victim through the grace of God.I would definitely recommend this book. It is full of suspense and just the right amount of romance for me.I received a copy from the author in exchange for my honest review.

      Distorted is book that is not only suspenseful, but makes you really think as well. Mallory was a victim of human trafficking and after being rescued, she goes out speaking out about what has happened. When she starts to get some threats and it becomes apparent that everything is not as it seems, Tennyson is brought in to help protect her. This book really kept me reading and things were not always as they seemed. It was a book that really make me want to guess what would happen next and then was quite pleased when I guessed right and pleasantly surprised when I wasn't. I also liked how Mallory was a survivor and did not let things get to her and stop her even when she was afraid. She was not afraid to keep on living. I received a copy of the book from the author, the review is entirely my own.
