I'm so conflicted on this because I really loved it at first!! I thought was moving a bit slowly and I would have liked some more action sooner but it was alright.
The way Josh handled Jules' confession though, just made me so uncomfortable. The sex scenes were already a bit too dub-con for my taste but this one? He was straight up using sex for punishment and yes, she had a way of tapping out, but they were both clearly not in the right mind space to have sex at that time.
I was really annoyed at Alex in the last book and honestly the first one too, but 1) he was absolutely hilarious in this one and 2) at least my man doesn't have an identity crisis halfway through beating someone up 😤 I hate the "blablabla I'm a doctor which means I can just as well kill people as I can save them" but I read a lot of medical romance, so I've gotten used to it. What I don't want to get used to is ER doctors beating up people to a fucking pulp 💀 AND OFTER AFTER REALISING IT COULD COST THEM THEIR CAREERS like where did all that supposed doctor intelligence go
idk i expected more from this but the first ~70% were still good. won't be reading the next one though.

If there is one thing I love about Ana Huang’s romance novels, is that when the couple inevitably breaks up, they don’t spend CHAPTERS heart broken and angry. Twisted Hate is a classic enemies to lovers romance novel with the right amount of clapbacks, attitude and smut. I’m glad we see Josh get the closure he deserves and his relationship with Alex recovers
