So I don’t really know how I got here, reviewing a Twisted novel on a Thursday night. But here I am.

Okay so this book was a lot of fun. I really did root for Bridget and Rhys from the second the met. It was steamy and fluffy and angsty for sure!

Rhys is so sexy I could just explode! And I really liked Bridget as a female MC too!

I don’t know how I feel about the way time progresses in this book. Years and years pass throughout this book, and while it does add to the dynamic of the love story, it just didn’t let me really get connected with the story the way I like to. Time jumps are not my thing in books and this one had them every other page. I would say that the time jumps made it a fast paced book but unfortunately I didn’t get that from it either. I still felt it was a medium paced book.

And finally, I felt the secrets and palace exploits fell flat. I wasn’t shocked by anything, I didn’t care about anyone besides the main couple because the side characters were not very present or developed.

Over all I give 3.5 because I love Rhys and Bridget but no one else!

This book is one of my favorites. A slow-burn forbidden love between a royal and her bodyguard!? Are you kidding me!? An absolutely thrilling book that is very easy to get transported into. I found myself feeling the characters feeling, and rooting for them the entire time. I’m a sucker for slow-burn, and this book takes. the. cake. A seriously underrated read, I would highly recommend anyone (of age, of course) to read this book, regardless of your stance on smut (if you really hate it, it’s not hard to skip over and still enjoy the book!) Overall, a fantastic book with twists and turns but ultimately with a happy ending. If I could give it better than a 5, I would!

Love a forbidden romance, the plot was great and the characters were lovable, >spoiler> third act break up, but unlike with the previous book in the series I did think these characters deserved to be together, how they both fought for each others happiness was also really heartwarming. The smut scenes were not for me but overall a decent read.
