 I am always a sucker for forbidden romance, and Rhys and Bridget's love story serves as the blueprint for this twisted series I'm reading. Rhys has become my ideal man, and now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to simp for a strong and powerful woman who could easily take me down. Also, I can't wait to read the retelling of Scar from The Lion King with a hot and intriguing twist

Rhy's brother's relationship with Anders and Rhy drinking for the first time when Bridget broke up with him. Also, Bridget blaming herself for her grandfather's heart attack and her parents' death is also sad.

I totally read this book for the plot... the plot being Rhys Larsen. Anyways, the book was a great dark romance. The characters were lovable, the story was quick, and the actual plot honestly was well thought out. The topes made sense and did not feel overused.

So much better than Twisted Love!
I loved both the main characters, you wanted to root for them and their relationship. 
I could see the twist regarding Rhys coming from a mile off but it was still enjoyable.
