I almost dnfed this one, but I kept going! 2 strikes... first strike for me part 1 was to long, not necassary at all. Strike two was the 'blackmailing thing of them f*.'

Tik tok has spoiled me the heck out of this books so I knew what the storyline was about ... So I know the charachters are in the same bloodline. Still found that weird. Also I don't find this man attractive. In one chapter he depends her to take her clothes of and she is unsure... give me the ick...

The Twisted series is really popular and gets recommended all the time. This is the second book; they are all standalones that follow this friend group. In this one, we have a slow-burn bodyguard meets royalty romance, and it was interesting to see play out. We do span over a pretty big timeline. Plus, the beginning of this book starts in the middle of the previous book, so some events happen again but in Bridgette or Rhys's POV. I appreciated that, but I wish this one had more suspense or drama. Things stalled out too much for me. But I liked that these two didn't give in to their feelings, and everything was happy ever after. These two struggled to get together and stay together, and I appreciated that side.

yall... this mf book!!!

people talk about their book boyfriends but i don't think anyone understands that Rhys Larsen is literally the book boyfriend. Like he knows exactly when to be funny, he's protective, he's brooding, he hates everyone but her. like he is literally the only man.

on a different note, the amount of different turns this book took?? like not one chapter went by where i wasn't wondering what happened next. the plot of this book was so wild in genuinely the best way.

all in all, i loved this book. it is definitely one of my top reads this year for sure.
