He is way too possesive and the relationship is super toxic. Hoped for something else.

Okay first off loved it definitely better than twisted love . I will say that because the book takes place over four years there’s so much detail and it moves so fast. It all blends together nicely though. The emotional aspect is there and it really just tugs and crushed your heart strings. Definitely a rollercoaster ride but a pretty good one at that. On to twisted hate….

It is a good book. It was pretty predictable but there was a side plot that was unexpected. If yu dont like dark books and you need

a happy ending

then this book is for you.

If you are looking for a book with plot and steam and enemies to lovers and a hot book boyfriend named Rhys then yes you are in the right place. This also includes royals, real juicy scenes that put you in a chokehold when reading and great power dynamics. Let’s just say I’m a bit obsessed!!

This is me being generous  in one of my last books of this year. 

I adored Twisted Love so I flew right into  this book. Knowing it was going to be the least relatable. But yet I was I excited because  it's  a similar story to Young Royals except  adult level maturity and very straight   relationship.  I will say the age gap automatically  impacted this rating to. 

Both Bridget and Rhys were often the exact type of people  you expected them to be. And it was very boring sometimes  throughout  the storyline. That said they both are very plain, messy characters  that deserved each other. For mor e than one reason I'm glad I finished this one and can move on to Twisted Hated and Lies.

Got a bit bored towards the last 20% but I enjoyed this nonetheless. There were some bits that needed editing (like the same word repeated twice in a row in a sentence) but overall a major improvement compared to the first book.
