"I've always sort of felt that you prepare yourself over the course of your whole life for the big moments, you know ? But when they happen, you sometimes feel totally unready for them, or even that they're not what you thought. And that's what makes them strange. The reality is really different from the fantasy."
my fav couple from the series (but josh is cuter when he doesn't use slurs in the bedroom... yikes)

did this just topped twisted love and twisted games for me in my rankings of the twisted series books i’ve read so far? absolutely it did.
alex volkov may have uttered those words but it sure as hell fits josh and jules so much more. a doctor in the making and a lawyer in the making so we LOVE to see the competition. literal enemies to literal fucking lovers and if that’s not my favourite trope for years now no matter how cliché it is, i don’t know what is.
perhaps i enjoyed this more so than twisted games which i finished yesterday as it felt more like a direct sequel to alex and ava’s story in twisted love compared to bridget and rhys’ which was set more in her kingdom compared to the surroundings of her friends a.k.a the other characters in the series. quite understandable actually considering her being a royal and all. but oh my god, i thought alex and ava was on the top of my list, that is until i deVOURED josh and jules’ story.
they’re almost like academic/working rivals with their job being in the same hospital (josh a doctor and jules a law associate), and their banters with each other was just so good that it made me laugh and it also made me shudder with chills when it intensifies the “situation” that they’re in. jules’ dark past was something that i didn’t see coming at all and it was craycray and i love how craycray it was. josh was THE man for jules (except for that one “revenge” scene, fuck him honestly, i’d beat him to a pulp if i could cos that was so fucking wrong). he acts like he doesn’t care for her in the beginning but it just shows very early on that he has so much care for her deep down despite them being mortal “enemies”. i’m not even gonna get into the spice because whew. what the fuck

I absolutely love anything by Ana Huang! Josh and Jules are literally perfect! The banter is so good between them and the spicy is steamy! I also love how characters from the other books pop up. Also Mr Alex Volkov just gets better with each book!!

I thought I loved twisted games so much I couldn’t continue the series but I’m so glad I did but this is my favorite one yet. I love how they were normal ppl that despised each other but also were kind ppl deep down. I cried reading this as I felt their heart break. I wasn’t a fan of the ending but everything else was amazing!
liked it, didn’t love it. slowly working my way through this series whenever I want something spicy and low-braincell, and it does the trick. contemporary always loses me a bit once the characters get together, and since they hooked up 25% in, I was kinda ready for it to be over after 500 pages. would’ve preferred a little more yearning.
