I think this is my favorite so far, but I'm looking forward to Christian and Stella's book even more.   I did not like Josh or Jules in the previous books, but I did like them in this book. Jules' past really explained a lot.  She really had nothing to be ashamed of.  I feel like she was a victim of so many terrible people.   Josh was a vain man whore, but A+ with the hate F***ing.  I liked the sex in this book more than the first 2.  I like that Alex was in this book a lot because, for some reason, I love the cold psycho characters.  

One thing that bothered me was the blackmail material felt like it would qualify as child pornograph... 

The second thing that bothered me was that I think Josh needed to grovel more.  I did believe that he was remorseful, but his actions were so hurtful.  I can't believe what he did and said to Jules, and I'm honestly not sure I could ever forgive someone if they did that to me.

I enjoyed this book overall (I was still thinking about how great twisted games was lol). I thought the smut was hot and heavy and I enjoyed Jules and Josh’s back and forth. Their relationship progressed nicely and the story was easy to follow. I did find myself laughing at some moments which was refreshing.

I wish Jules would’ve just told Josh everything from the beginning even though I understood why she was scared to. I also understand why Josh was upset with her but that scene after she confesses everything is brutal! He was really fucked yo for that. I appreciate that she didn’t just immediately go back to him but I wish she would’ve made him beg a little more because he was very fucked up. I am happy they reconciled though.

I actually like Alex better in this book than the first. He’s still grumpy but has more personality, plus he calls Josh out which is nice.

Josh and Jules were a fun pair. They are witty and snarky with one another. A slow burn for years that finally flares up. I enjoyed their drama. Max makes an appearance and of course wrecks the situation because he feels owed. Jules has cleaned up her act and moved on to better things. So many secrets in one relationship. Not as huge and dramatic as Alex and Ava situation but still impactful and entertaining. This was easier to relate to than the other couples. Charming and smaller drama. Things explode and josh ends up begging for Jules to take him back.

Wow wow I was not expecting to love this one as much as I did. I was nervous because it was a bit thicker than the others but it flew by and I didn’t want it to end. I am obsessed with Josh and Jules. I hated some things they did to each other but I also loved it (so twisted *wink wink*). They both had so much growth throughout the book and are such bosses! A doctor and a lawyer!? Okayyyy $$$. Anyways I really liked this one and Ana Huang keeps topping her last one
