This is a spicy, reverse fairy tale, bodyguard romance. I really loved this one, not only is it romantic, but a secret love affair is always sooooo good.

It’s hard to rate, this book. Because even though the book was fun. Some scenes gave me butterflies, the book didn’t change my life. I also must say the jealousy of the love interest got at times tiring. I will read the other books of the twisted series though.

Bored of it. I already knew the ending and just couldn’t make myself keep reading.

I loved the book and I loved the story line however I did find it pretty repetitive throughout the book. I did love the pop ups of the other characters as well like Alex and Ava

5⭐️
Absolutely loved this book with all of my heart, Rhys and Bridget were perfect for eachother. This book is perfect if you love grumpy/sunshine, age gaps, and more. It was so hard to put down and was amazingly written. I loved the characters and there were so many cute moments between Rhys and Bridget that I absolutely loved. Seeing Bridget evolve was amazing because she was already so strong but she grew so much with Rhys and they both came a very long way. Lots of tears, laughs, and excitement was brought out with this book and I loved it so much! I can not wait to read the next books.

Esto non é xuvenil, non é imitable, non debería falarse disto sen que puxera un GRAN disclaimer que isto é dark romance con plot. Por que estamos vendo coma aceptable que ás mulleres se nos trate tan agresivamente na cama? A todas nos teñen que gustar que nos chamen puta, zorra o cousas dese estilo? Que é isto de pezóns duros e coxas molladas só de pensar? You should go to a therapist. 
Estou farta. Isto non é sunshine e grumpy; non é golden retriever e black cat. Isto é horribel.
Xa salvei a unha AVOA de mercar o primeiro libro da saga estas festas de Nadal. Por deus, deixade de por portadas cuquis a cousas que non o son.

I love Rhys and Bridget. I’m a sucker for a bodyguard/royalty trope. Again I would like to say I love how Ana writes trauma and the way it completely changes a person. For better or worse what happens to you shapes you and I think she does a great job with that. I really enjoy her writing style and will definitely finish the series. Just not sure when since the next book is about people I don’t particularly care about. The banter in this book is top notch and they are like a drug that you just can’t put down. I will say I think they are a little too long this one especially since it had to explain all the stuff they were doing during the event of book one. Definitely check your trigger warnings for this one.
