Reviews with content warning for Sexual assault - Twisted Love

Overall, I liked this! It’s a solid billionaire, brothers best friend trope romance that is great at foreshadowing the next books in the series.

I appreciated that it was sexy without being full on super spicy smutty.

A few of the twists were ones I actually didn’t guess and they surprised me in a good way.

I took away one star because I wish this had been broken into two books. Sometimes the narrative jumps too far ahead and we miss some perspectives for events that I would have liked to have. The author packs A LOT into this novel and it does get a bit sloppy in terms of plot development.

Overall 4 stars. I enjoyed the hyperbolic cheese and the darkness of our male protagonist, Alex. I enjoyed how multi-faceted Ava is.

The book wasn't bad by any means, I think it was just...a lot. The first half of the book was pretty slow to allow the couple to get together (which was fine) but that only left the other half to tie up the loose ends of Alex's family/Ava's dad which seemed a bit rushed to me. There were three separate plot lines I could see with Ava's trama, the relationship, and Alex's family. On paper, that makes sense, but the book spent way too long on two plot lines without fully developing the last one making the third act seem a bit quick. I wanted more tension with the uncle and more interactions with him in general for him to become such a prominent character in the third act. I didn't buy Alex and the uncle's relationship because we didn't spend time with them until the book needed to tie up the loose ends of Alex's story. Overall, it was an enjoyable read. Despite everything I've said about the third act I could not put this book down! The twists and turns kept me hooked the whole time despite it seeming fast. If you enjoy twists (even with their flaws) then you'll love this book!

3.0

So after seing this book on my foryoupage for more then a year. I decided to buy and read it. I thought the book was okay, nothing really special about. It gave me wattpad vibes, and no hate for that. It's her first book ever written so that fine.

I do think there were a plot hole in this story. When she and her friend got kidnapped we didn't get a pov of that so I was confused about it. The singing part wasn't that gringy... . The story plot was very predictable. I would probably read the next book of this series :)
