I wasn't a huge fan of the first book but I've heard good things about this one so I gave it a chance. There were a lot of predictable elements, but they weren't horrible. I was not a fan of the

third act break up 🙄

and Rhys was too possessive, not as much as Alex but still an unhealthy amount. I liked how this book smoothed everything out in a believable way though. I still haven't decided if I'm reading the next one, we'll see how I feel in the future.

okay so i had really high hopes for this book because it’s all over tik tok but i’m not sure how to feel. the whole royal plotline was a bit tedious and it got boring

i feel like if a stronger emotional connective has been established between rhys and jules i wouldn’t have minded the like 300 pages of royal plot lines, but that wasn’t there which makes the book lower rated. i also haven’t read the first book in the series and twisted games was the first one i’ve read 

some of the smut is REALLY out of pocket

Better than the first book; probably equal to a good 2015 Wattpad fic. This series is like junk food or reality TV—not good at all, but entertaining as hell. Rhys and Bridget made a lot more sense to me than Ava and Alex did in Twisted Love.

This was a good book with a sweet story. I enjoyed the character development from both main characters. At times it felt like the story was dragging on, but then something would happen and the plot would pick up. I didn't find the time jumps confusing it distracting, they made sense and I'm glad the author used them to show the relationship progression over time. The spicy scenes were also pretty well written. I'm excited to read the rest of this series!
