Now that I’ve completed the twisted series, I know that I will not be reading any more books written by this author. I simply don’t enjoy the way the characters are written, the plots, or writing itself. at least Edward was a vampire so the danger was inherently there. Christian literally spends 70% of the book doing nothing except talking about how dangerous he is and be really bad at business and networking. that one scene where Stella had to save his ass by recognizing Christian's business partner was looking for a human connection and not just money-money talk? how did this man become a millionaire? i don't think he has ever talked to a human before.

Theirs is a love twisted with secrets and tainted by lies... and when the truths are finally revealed, they could shatter everything. Twisted Lies is a steamy fake dating romance. It's the fourth and final book in the Twisted series but can be read as a standalone. But when a threat from her past drives her into the arms―and house―of the most dangerous man she’s ever met, she’s tempted to let herself feel something for the first time in a long time.In this book list, you’ll find five book recommendations for each twisted book with similar romance tropes and characters. Theirs is a love that was never supposed to happen-but when it does, it unleashes secrets that could destroy them both…and everything they hold dear. Twisted Games Twisted Hate was alright. I feel like the story dragged, and I was losing interest easily. However, I love the love of Josh and Jules to show each other. Whereas with Twisted Love and Games where I couldn't put the book down, Twisted Hate at certain points dragged, and I had to put the book down to get the story. honestly.. if nat outed me like that at the dinner table i wouldve pulled her hair and started a cat fight. (iykyk) My life was an unending, unchanging midnight. It must by necessity, always be midnight for me. So how was it possible that the sun was rising now, in the middle of my midnight?"

Jules and Stella are desperately in need of an apartment so when they show up at The Mirage, a luxury building that’s way out of their budget, Christian decides to lower rent for them. But then the whole plot of Stella's stalker was actually boring, the final conflict between them was predictable and already seen in other books and please don't get me started on the smut. I can't, I cringe so hard my teeth hurt lol.I absolutely LOVED her character and role in the book so freaking much but thats mainly because she was so relatable. the family issues, being insecure, being shy, being an introvert, being a hopeless romantic while avoiding relationships, having social anxiety and always thinking ur not enough. Josh Chen is a handsome and confident man on his way to becoming a successful doctor. He has always been able to charm women, except for Jules Ambrose. Jules, a beautiful redhead, has constantly annoyed him since they first met, but she also occupies his thoughts like no other woman. Starting from the beginning lets talk about the QUEEN 👑 ANA HUANG I first saw Twisted Love on tiktok and read the first twisted series book; and as much as I love that grumpy-ass-no-emotions-billionaire I remember thinking that the writing was not one of my favs. Through her entire twisted journey, her books and writing and way with words has only gotten BETTER (which I didnt even think was possible after twisted hate). Twisted Lies has to be one of most well-written books of 2022 where it balances all components of a contemporary romance book: fluff, smut, tropes, story, suspense+++ without jeopardizing the relationship . Nothing about Stella and Christian’s relationship was rushed or fast. and this man took boy-obsessed to ANOTHER level. I found Stella so incredibly boring. She didnt have anything that defined her as a character besides existing for Christian’s satisfaction. She had no depth. (This is my complaint with most of the twisted girls, which I will explain soon) but her character was so bland. She had anxiety— so there was that. I found the anxiety topic to be a bit scattered. Like it was mentioned a LOT in the beginning, but then it kinda just faded. So, she had insecurities and anxiety, and she was nice. That’s literally all that I can remember about her entire character. Besides the excessive blushing, butterflies, and getting tuned on because Christian was around her.

I did however LOVE that he wrote letters to Stella during their time apart. I love letters in books. They get to me every single time. And I thought christian writing letters to open himself up to Stella was really sweet. Stoic, broody and arrogant bodyguard Rhys Larsen has two rules: protect his clients at all costs and do not become emotionally involved.He has never once been tempted to break those rules… until her. Princess Bridget von Ascheberg. Despite her freedom, she still needs to have a bodyguard around her 24/7 and turns out her bodyguard who has protected her for so long needs to go on maternity leave.

This book is incredibly slow burn but the angst is so well-written. Ana also surprises readers with cameo scenes. This is also the steamiest romance book in the series. nobody is more surprised than me that my most anticipated read from this series ended up being my least favourite When their animosity explodes into one unforgettable night, he proposes a solution that'll get her out of his system once and for all: an enemies with benefits arrangement with simple rules.

stella being a curly haired girl who takes proper care of her hair 😍 (i'm also naturally curly with a healthy serving of FRIZZ) and it was so refreshing to see her talk about the maintenance of her hair 😭 like this is the representation EYE am looking for 🧍🏽‍♀️ Charming, deadly and smart enough to hide it, Christian Harper is a monster dressed in the perfectly tailored suits of a gentleman. Twisted Lies is a steamy, medium to slow burn fake dating romance. It is the fourth and final book in the Twisted series but can be read as a standalone. Most readers agree that Twisted Hate is the spiciest Twisted book. The enemies-to-lovers trope combined with friends-with-benefits trope makes this book extremely spicy! Which Twisted Book Is The Best? That was the thing about humans. We were hard-wired for survival, and we took every opportunity to convince ourselves that our problems weren’t as bad as we thought they were.The relationship/slowburn, were brilliantly orchestrated I loved every step they took from being neighbors with awkward encounters to agreeing to be in a fake-dating relationship that profited both of them, Stella needed a little boost to upgrade her game in the fashion influence world and Christian wanted a candy arm to exhibit at mundane events. They eventually acted on their mutual attraction because the tension between them was cristal clear, palpable throughout the book.😮‍💨 Romance Tropes: brother’s best friend, grumpy x sunshine, interracial romance and forced proximity.
