Reviews with content warning for Violence - Mentiras do amor

WOW! Wowowow! Christian Harper is all I wanted out of Alex Volkov and didn't get! Christian is truly my second favorite man from the twisted series and this book did not disappoint. I went into this with high expectations and these expectations were met and more! I loved Stella as a character and her internal struggles were something that I resonated with, and the guessing game with the stalker and the security mole was a fun game I played through out the book (which, I guessed the mole right heck yeah).

As for plot, I loved the stalker plot and I loved the small snip bits we get of Christian's work (aka, the office scene), I even liked Christian's character and I enjoyed the fact that all four Twisted men were together in scenes, their dynamic was great and I even ended up warming up to Alex which is shocking considering I didn't like him too much in his original book. As for Stella, I really reallly liked her as the main girl, her actions made sense and I really liked her personality. Stella was honestly a wild card for me when going in because she wasn't really relevant in the other three books so I couldn't get an opinion and I'm honestly happy about that. This book was genuinely a joy and I'm so excited to start the "King of" series since the main character of the first one seems intriguing since he was also in this book.

This one took a little bit to get into but once I did, I really enjoyed the love story peppered with violence and crime and mystery. I adore all of the female characters in this book and their slightly less than moral men. This book kept me up far later than I should’ve been because it was addictive and interesting. The spice takes awhile to show up and is only moderate but I still enjoyed it.

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!

Holy hotness the main character is perfectly morally grey. The book itself was so fun to read and had characters that I feel are not typically romance book characters. The plot was also totally different than most romance books. This was my favorite main character males in a realistic romance book ever.
