4.3/5 

This book made up for all the ways the first one was lacking, no overuse of tropes. Real conflict. SPICE( "And crawl to me." ) and actual Romance. 

Only reason it's not a 5 is there was a lot of repetition a good editor should have handled, and there was a timeline issue that would've been minor but they kept bringing it up 

Also, Rhys Larsen is HIM.

I almost dnfed this one, but I kept going! 2 strikes... first strike for me part 1 was to long, not necassary at all. Strike two was the 'blackmailing thing of them f*.'

Tik tok has spoiled me the heck out of this books so I knew what the storyline was about ... So I know the charachters are in the same bloodline. Still found that weird. Also I don't find this man attractive. In one chapter he depends her to take her clothes of and she is unsure... give me the ick...

I wasn't a huge fan of the first book but I've heard good things about this one so I gave it a chance. There were a lot of predictable elements, but they weren't horrible. I was not a fan of the

third act break up 🙄

and Rhys was too possessive, not as much as Alex but still an unhealthy amount. I liked how this book smoothed everything out in a believable way though. I still haven't decided if I'm reading the next one, we'll see how I feel in the future.

okay so i had really high hopes for this book because it’s all over tik tok but i’m not sure how to feel. the whole royal plotline was a bit tedious and it got boring

i feel like if a stronger emotional connective has been established between rhys and jules i wouldn’t have minded the like 300 pages of royal plot lines, but that wasn’t there which makes the book lower rated. i also haven’t read the first book in the series and twisted games was the first one i’ve read 

some of the smut is REALLY out of pocket

Better than the first book; probably equal to a good 2015 Wattpad fic. This series is like junk food or reality TV—not good at all, but entertaining as hell. Rhys and Bridget made a lot more sense to me than Ava and Alex did in Twisted Love.
