At the beginning I had a little trouble, getting into the book. But once I did I devoured every page. I usually don’t like romance books. But Ana Huang, has the ability to make a romance book interesting and not basic.

Firrst off I am biased because I don't love Ana Huang's writing, but they always seem to hook me just like Twisted Lies. This book is chessy and unrealistic. There were many parts of the plot that didn't add up to me and those unrealistoc parts dampned the book for me. 

Out of the whole series I would say this book is 3rd and the 1st book is last. To be fair even in the book Ana Huang states that it is cheesy so I don't really fault her. I just didn't particularly get entranced by this book because of that, but her writing intruged me enough to rread thhe whole series so.

This was my least favorite in the series, but it's still
a really good book! I personally found Christian a
bit annoying, and his obsession with Stella seemed
creepy and unwarranted for the first half of the book,
genuinely thought he was her stalker for a good
while before he finally revealed how he met her in the
past. I loved Stella, though! I loved the scenes with
her family and the conversations and growth they
experienced as a family. I loved the scenes with their
friends and how the men bicker and give each other
hell for falling in love, lol. Getting another wedding
from the friend group was so sweet, too! The spicy
scenes in this one weren't my favorite but still were
fun and well written!
Ana is a genius, and the way she set up the Kings
of Sin series by introducing the elite library/club
that Alex and Christian are in, and introducing Dante
briefly, was so smart. My interest is PIQUED!
The epilogue in this book was so sweet and I
am going to miss these characters. I am already
ordering the Kings of Sins series to devour in the
near future. Ana Haung just made my auto-buy
author's list!

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. Christian was HOT and Stella really grew throughout the book. Their relationship was easy to follow and fall in love with. One of the reveals was a little predictable and there were a few times where I felt the book lulled a bit but overall really enjoyable and I’d read again.

I missed a truly bad boy. Don't get me wrong, I love Rhys with all my heart and Josh is my favorite of them all. But I missed falling for a truly bad scary man, having my sanity questioned for it was something I hadn't quite felt since Alex Volkov. But then came Christian Harper... and oh my God I ate it up!
The amount of times this man had me clenching my thighs together is sick! Of course,  I loved how the second most scary man (but definitely the baddest) ended up with the sweetest and softest of the girls... but let's not forget that divine quality praise kink. Chef's kiss. 
All in all, now that I've finished the series, I gotta say I loved it all... but none had quite the same punch as Twisted Love. I didn't even realize it until Ava and Alex kept making appearances in the other books and I woul literally sit straight and give them puppy eyes, I love them that much. Which is why this book's epilogue was my favorite. Seeing everybody happy and married with kids or engaged or expecting was beautiful and I'll never get over the "Little Sunshine" beat. I swear I squealed in that part.
And the bonus scene? Daddy Christian was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. 
And the praise kink definitely pumped it up a notch so the beginning and the end of this series are toe-to-toe for the title of favorite. 
Can't wait to read the next series, I'm already intrigued about the easter eggs we saw here...
