Didn't enjoy this as much as Twisted Games, the plot was decent but the sex scenes were too kinky for me personally. Hopefully I like Twisted Lies as the only book that I truly loved from the series is Twisted Games at the moment.

Loved this book. I hate max so much. I have the biggest crush on Jules and I love her and Josh’s dynamic.

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.
