I know a lot of people like this book, but it wasn’t a giant hit with me. I loved the fairytale type of ending, but part one of the book went by really fast. I felt like Ana Huang could have left it out entirely. The characters were good though, and so was the plot. The writing, again, was well written.

OMG Rhys Larsen the MAN that you are, the dark “you are only mine” “i’ll kill anyone who lays a hand on you” type of man with the “soft” spot for the one you love, obviously I loved Rhys, but Bridgett was so inspiring, motivated, and determined it was impossible to not fall in love with them both, go read the book lovelies, promise you, you won’t regret it

I tried so hard, but this series just isn't for me. I don't like the possessiveness the male main characters have or the way the female main characters become insta-lusty because of it.
"Remember, in public, you're my princess, but in private,you're my whore ."
Nope. That's my final que to DNF – I've pushed past too many icks already.
Besides the lusting romance, the other plot is advanced with rushed telling, not that much showing: we get big time jumps and recounts of what happened during those. How dull. Besides, the very tragic backstories of the main characters' don't add much to the present of the story, they feel like just using trauma for shock value. That's not my cup of tea.

˗ˏˋ ★ REVIEW ★ ˎˊ˗
There were so many iconic lines from this book. It was an entertaining read, it was funny, angsty, and spicy. The characters had depth to their personalities and while the plot wasn’t what I was expecting it kept my interest.
There were a few parts that made me question how this book was going to end before grabbing the good old plot twists. The reveal to Rhys dad was not expected but was a nice plot twist.

Everyone talks about how this one was better than Twisted Love and ik Bridget and Rhys are one of the most loved couples from this series so my expectations were set and let's just say I was left expecting more from the hype. It also dragged a bit & should have been lil shorter. For me it made a good read but book 1,Twisted Love with Ava & Alex is in the lead currently. I enjoyed their story much more.
With that said I still liked Bridget and Rhys together. They were so cute and I loved her as an fmc she was amazing while Rhys made the perfect book boyfriend (degrading kink aside)
I'm a sucker for a good bodyguard romance and this does the trope justice but my fav from the trope is T̶h̶e̶ B̶o̶d̶y̶g̶u̶a̶r̶d̶ b̶y̶ K̶a̶t̶h̶e̶r̶i̶n̶e̶ C̶e̶n̶t̶e̶r̶ &̶ T̶h̶e̶ B̶o̶d̶y̶g̶u̶a̶r̶d̶ P̶r̶o̶p̶o̶s̶a̶l̶ b̶y̶ S̶o̶o̶k̶h̶ K̶a̶u̶r̶ 🤭
I was rooting for Bridget and Rhys the entire time and I'm so glad it all worked out. I was so proud of Bridget and she truly embodies a queen perfectly. The way Rhys stood by her and was her hype woman warmed my heart.
He had my sympathies with the horrible childhood he had. I literally flinched when he talked about the abuse he underwent... I'm happy that he gets to spend his life with a woman that loves him coz he deserves good. They are a beautiful couple! Also wasn't surprised by the truth of Rhys' father & I love that he mentioned South Africa as a place he'd retreat to!!
AND OMG When Alex made a cameo I squealed! Now onto book 3 & 4 I go!
