I almost didn’t go through reading this book, since I was somewhat unimpressed with Twisted Love (I rated it 3.5). But this book. I love Rhys and Bridget, as well as the writing and plot. I struggled to suspend disbelief with Twisted Love, but Twisted Games was the perfect mix of overcoming impossible circumstances and complex, lovable, characters.

“We weren’t a fairytale. We were a forbidden love letter, tucked into the back of a drawer and retrieved only in the darkness of night.” 🖤

This book! It was so much fun! I loved Bridget & Rhys 😍 the chemistry between them is intense. Loved the plot twists 💖

I mean I read the entire thing in one day so that says a lot. Decent writing, world building was minimal but I guess it didn’t need much. Really good suspenseful moments and on the spicy side (though the way it was advertised to me I expected more). I’ll give credit for the plot twists, the ending was cute but predictable. I would have liked the plot throughout to be a little beefier cause some stuff came out of no where and characters were dropped and picked up whenever it was convenient. Good though. Probably won’t read the other series.
