This book was so good! I loved the playful banter btw Stella and Christian. The ending almost had me in tears whew. And I loved all the moments btw the guys! I say it felt like Ana maybe didn't know to write from Christian’s POV because we get as many chapters from him and also we didn't get a of spice scenes. Another thing that fell flat for me was the repetitive sentences in many chapters.

OKAY let’s get one thing straight - the length of time it took me to complete this book speaks NOTHING about the quality of it. I really didn’t think any twisted book could top Twisted Games, but Stella and Christian proved me so joyfully wrong. The tension, the intimacy, the spice, the suspense… holy hell this book exceeded my expectations. And the bonus scene…. couldn’t help but cry. I am so sad this series is complete but can absolutely see myself returning to it in the future.

I liked both MCs more than I expected…until we neared the climax. Why oh why was the climax what it was?

There's nothing like a crazy stalker to make another one seem not so crazy? It’s like oh Christian only searched and knew everything about me for a year, the other guy wanted to kidnap and kill me so jk I love you, Christian. Ironically, I think his year stint wouldn’t have been so bad if he’d gotten therapy or something for it back then versus just ok I'm going to stop now?

I’m definitely a Christian girlie! This is the final book in the Twisted series that follows Christian and Stella. Christian Harper has had his eye on Stella Alonzo for years, so when Stella devises a fake dating scheme to help land a brand deal he can’t help but say yes. But neither foresee the skeletons that will be drawn out of the closet when they set their plan in motion. Ana Huang gave us the perfect slow burn romance with a twist of the unhinged. Forever team Christian!!!
