This is essentially The Bodyguard (and I'm a sucker for this movie and trope in general), so it's already leaps and bounds beyond Twisted Love. The plot was neater, which I appreciated, and not once did Rhys make me feel like my skin was crawling, which was a major improvement from the first book. The smut was better, and there was a lot more of it.
I'm going to be honest: I know that it's iconic, but the crawling scene really doesn't do it for me. Although I though Rhys would somehow find himself noble-adjacent, I did not see the blackmailing plot coming, which was a good move on Huang's part.
