I wasn’t too big of a fan of the majority of the book, I felt like it was repetitive and dragged on but I like how the ending wrapped it up so that helped redeem the book a little for me. It very much was not my style and there were certain scenes and descriptions I could have done without personally. The characters weren’t very interesting to me and none of the characters besides the main two were fleshed out characters. The relationship between Rhys and Bridget seemed toxic because they relied on each other too much and </spoiler he drinks alcohol for the first time when they get separated from each other which is completely out of character, but at least it didn’t continue after that> There is also something mentioned in the book that was never brought up again, but I’m assuming that’s for the fourth book.

Okay first off loved it definitely better than twisted love . I will say that because the book takes place over four years there’s so much detail and it moves so fast. It all blends together nicely though. The emotional aspect is there and it really just tugs and crushed your heart strings. Definitely a rollercoaster ride but a pretty good one at that. On to twisted hate….

If you are looking for a book with plot and steam and enemies to lovers and a hot book boyfriend named Rhys then yes you are in the right place. This also includes royals, real juicy scenes that put you in a chokehold when reading and great power dynamics. Let’s just say I’m a bit obsessed!!

This was sweet. Rhys' description was unrealistic and I found it too fast paced to get any real relationship building in the first half. Towards the end it felt like we were scrambling to tie up the lose ends because they didn't really make sense with the storyline.
It was enjoyable but it was lacking in plot planning and proper foreshadowing, in my opinion.

Got a bit bored towards the last 20% but I enjoyed this nonetheless. There were some bits that needed editing (like the same word repeated twice in a row in a sentence) but overall a major improvement compared to the first book.

I loved this story! Rhys still has some possesiveness but this relationship I'd say is a lot healthier than the one in the first book. Really loved that the conflict in this book was something actually serious and believable. Bridget is such a great character, best royal ever.
