I almost dnfed this one, but I kept going! 2 strikes... first strike for me part 1 was to long, not necassary at all. Strike two was the 'blackmailing thing of them f*.'

Tik tok has spoiled me the heck out of this books so I knew what the storyline was about ... So I know the charachters are in the same bloodline. Still found that weird. Also I don't find this man attractive. In one chapter he depends her to take her clothes of and she is unsure... give me the ick...

yall... this mf book!!!

people talk about their book boyfriends but i don't think anyone understands that Rhys Larsen is literally the book boyfriend. Like he knows exactly when to be funny, he's protective, he's brooding, he hates everyone but her. like he is literally the only man.

on a different note, the amount of different turns this book took?? like not one chapter went by where i wasn't wondering what happened next. the plot of this book was so wild in genuinely the best way.

all in all, i loved this book. it is definitely one of my top reads this year for sure.

This book was drastically better than Twisted Love for two reasons: a realistic plot and the absence of Alex Volkov. The first half of the book really exceeded my expectations, but then the story just kept dragging on and on despite the time skips. Had this book been like 200 pages shorter I would have rated it around 3.5 stars — if you like porn with absolutely no plot, then you should like the latter half of this book. It could have been closer to 4 stars if Rhys wasn't so possessive and aggressive. Hell, CAN'T I ENJOY CONSENSUAL DOMINANCE IN A SEXUAL CONTEXT WITHOUT THE MAN BEING VIOLENT IN NONSEXUAL SITUATIONS AS WELL?? That's extremely unsexy, anger issues do not turn me on. Also, I guessed the plot twist in the very beginning,
the one where Rhys is revealed to be of noble Eldorran descent and they get married. (but if Rhys is the brother of Bridget's cousin, doesn't it make Rhys and Bridget half-cousins??? ew.)

Absolutely love this book. Compared to Twisted Love, safe to say I most definitely love Twisted Games more!!! 
The beginning of the book may have started off a little slow but the events and pov changes entices and attracts you into the story. The plot was decently planned and flows well. 
The writing is easy flowing and simple to understand. It hits you in the feels. However, I personally get my feelings turned off when I see a cuss word unnecessarily in a sentence. Despite that, I still think this book is well-written for young adults to easily comprehend. 
I teared up and almost cried reading for the first time during the last two chapters before the epilogue. This book made me believe in love again. 🥰

RHYS LARSEN. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. 😭 He’s not only a secret romantic but also a secret cinnamon roll!!! 🥺
BRIDGET VON ASCHEBERG. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!!!! 💳💥 So proud of our Princess 🫶 from being scared and insecure, going through so much all at once, she pulled through and became the best version of herself. Highly respected, OUR QUEEN 🩷

Overall, this book was nice to read. It may feel draggy in the beginning, but the suspense when you reach the second half of Part 2, bless me. 
THERE ARE SPECIFIC CHAPTERS I WOULD MOST DEFINITELY READ AGAIN JUST TO FEED INTO MY DELULU AND BELIEVE IN LOVE ALL OVER AGAIN. 🩷✨

The book series in general feels very far off of real world actions and situations but all in all the romance story is very likable even if some explicit scenes are "twisted".

Forbidden lovers. It took awhile for the spice to develop but once it did, it was pretty good. I liked this book but I knew where it was going from about page 100. The ending, while predictable, did make me happy.
