Ava and Alex relationship took so many twists and turns, so,e expected and some really really unexpected. This book made me feel every emotion, so,e points were sad, others were funny I was actually laughing out loud, I felt joy and happiness, suspense and anger. The spice of their romance was off the scales and jeez they both knew it
The ending gives you so much hope and joy, love really does make the world and can change even the most hurt and lost souls!
Can’t wait to read the rest of this series, would 100% recommend this book but, please check the triggers beforehand as some scenes are very tough

Twisted Love is one of my favourite books. The fact that Alex is a tense, stern guy, but becomes soft around Ava is just amazing. The characters are extremely lovable and i genuinely want to be a part of Ava, Bridget, Jules and Stella’s friend group. The tropes are amazing. Personally, i found the part where he sang for her sweet and not cringe as others say. The book is great, although it gives a bit of wattpad vibes.

Tropes
- grumpy sunshine
- touch her and die
- brothers best friend
📖 My Thoughts
I probably would have given this book five stars had i not been currently halfway through the second book which IS SO MUCH BETTER. so the second book kinda ruined me a bit lol. But I still love a good grumpy sunshine book. I find that it’s the trope I can relate to the most because I get a lot of comments that I’m a sunshine type character and my favourite form of self harm is emotionally unavailable men 🤷♀️. I liked the added bit about Ava having a fear of water and I found that I related to her PTSD as I have had a traumatic experience (unrelated to water) but felt like I had experienced what she did. I could not put this book down and I’m excited for the rest of the series!
⚠️ Triggers
Drowning, suicide, overdose, self harm, vengeance, killing, death, guns, poison, sexual harassment
🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️Representation
Female MC is Asian. MMC is first generation Ukrainian immigrant. Beyond that not much else representation detected but I’m white so take this info with a grain of salt.
🌶️ Spice
The spice was thereeeee. It was good but it also gave off the vibes that it was a vanilla couple that was like “oh I use handcuffs I’m so kinky!” There was kinky sex but it wasn’t KINKY if you know what I mean. Like the spanking and orgasm control.
📝 Special Notes
My library has the audio books free to download an unlimited amount of times so maybe check to see if that’s the same for y’all!
