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

Bridget is a princess of a small European country who lives in the US with her bodyguard, Booth and is in her final year of college. When Booth’s wife gives birth he decides to return to Eldora to be with her. That how Rhys enters Bridget’s life, as his replacement. He’s cold, distant and wants nothing to do with her personal life. Obviously that doesn’t work out for him very well.

This was my first 5star read of the year. I absolutely loved it. Rhys is definitely in my top 10 book boyfriends. I truly don’t know why I was avoiding this series for so long.

5⭐️
Absolutely loved this book with all of my heart, Rhys and Bridget were perfect for eachother. This book is perfect if you love grumpy/sunshine, age gaps, and more. It was so hard to put down and was amazingly written. I loved the characters and there were so many cute moments between Rhys and Bridget that I absolutely loved. Seeing Bridget evolve was amazing because she was already so strong but she grew so much with Rhys and they both came a very long way. Lots of tears, laughs, and excitement was brought out with this book and I loved it so much! I can not wait to read the next books.

Between Twisted Love and Twisted Games, this one is definitely the better book. I enjoyed the premise of this one more but on the other hand it’s hard to buy a princess casually living in America for parts. It’s definitely a step up in spice than its counterpart.  Do with that information what you will.

Esto non é xuvenil, non é imitable, non debería falarse disto sen que puxera un GRAN disclaimer que isto é dark romance con plot. Por que estamos vendo coma aceptable que ás mulleres se nos trate tan agresivamente na cama? A todas nos teñen que gustar que nos chamen puta, zorra o cousas dese estilo? Que é isto de pezóns duros e coxas molladas só de pensar? You should go to a therapist. 
Estou farta. Isto non é sunshine e grumpy; non é golden retriever e black cat. Isto é horribel.
Xa salvei a unha AVOA de mercar o primeiro libro da saga estas festas de Nadal. Por deus, deixade de por portadas cuquis a cousas que non o son.

I love Rhys and Bridget. I’m a sucker for a bodyguard/royalty trope. Again I would like to say I love how Ana writes trauma and the way it completely changes a person. For better or worse what happens to you shapes you and I think she does a great job with that. I really enjoy her writing style and will definitely finish the series. Just not sure when since the next book is about people I don’t particularly care about. The banter in this book is top notch and they are like a drug that you just can’t put down. I will say I think they are a little too long this one especially since it had to explain all the stuff they were doing during the event of book one. Definitely check your trigger warnings for this one.
