This is a spicy, reverse fairy tale, bodyguard romance. I really loved this one, not only is it romantic, but a secret love affair is always sooooo good.

It’s hard to rate, this book. Because even though the book was fun. Some scenes gave me butterflies, the book didn’t change my life. I also must say the jealousy of the love interest got at times tiring. I will read the other books of the twisted series though.

I loved this book so much. I was a little bored at first, but I kept going because I've heard Rhys Larsen on TikTok several times; and OMG TikTok was not wrong in their obsession. I squealed so much with this book and I absolutely loved it! I can't wait to continue the series.

I loved the book and I loved the story line however I did find it pretty repetitive throughout the book. I did love the pop ups of the other characters as well like Alex and Ava
