I'm so conflicted on this because I really loved it at first!! I thought was moving a bit slowly and I would have liked some more action sooner but it was alright. 

The way Josh handled Jules' confession though, just made me so uncomfortable. The sex scenes were already a bit too dub-con for my taste but this one? He was straight up using sex for punishment and yes, she had a way of tapping out, but they were both clearly not in the right mind space to have sex at that time.

I was really annoyed at Alex in the last book and honestly the first one too, but 1) he was absolutely hilarious in this one and 2) at least my man doesn't have an identity crisis halfway through beating someone up 😤 I hate the "blablabla I'm a doctor which means I can just as well kill people as I can save them" but I read a lot of medical romance, so I've gotten used to it. What I don't want to get used to is ER doctors beating up people to a fucking pulp 💀 AND OFTER AFTER REALISING IT COULD COST THEM THEIR CAREERS like where did all that supposed doctor intelligence go

idk i expected more from this but the first ~70% were still good. won't be reading the next one though.

If there is one thing I love about Ana Huang’s romance novels, is that when the couple inevitably breaks up, they don’t spend CHAPTERS heart broken and angry. Twisted Hate is a classic enemies to lovers romance novel with the right amount of clapbacks, attitude and smut.

I’m glad we see Josh get the closure he deserves and his relationship with Alex recovers

Loved the relationship between these main characters. Great banter and chemistry. A perfect contemporary enemies-to-fuck buddies-to-lovers.

I liked the book up until the point where the MMC turned into a giant asshole and took his anger out on the FMC by "fucking her" and then saying all this:

"It seems only fitting for us to end things with a goodbye fuck." ... "At least you got an orgasm out of it, so don't say I never gave you anything. I'll miss that tight pussy of yours though. No one takes my cock better than you do. It's your best quality."

To me that's unforgivable, cruel and abusive (he knew what the FMC's been through and still chose to hurt her). I was so angry when she forgave him and they got back together. Finishing the book after that just wasn't enjoyable.

I have seen mixed reviews for this one, so I was a little apprehensive going into it, but I loved it! I am apparently a huge fan of enemies with benefits and I (as per usual) am obsessed with a mean FMC (typically I prefer a mean brunette, but I'm willing to make a red-headed exception for Jules).
