I loved Mile High! The chemistry between Zanders and Stevie was immaculate. The way Zanders made Stevie feel so comfortable in her skin and loved her for who she was...😩😩
Also, their banter was top-notch. I do remember thinking that this one was a bit toooo long but other than that it was very good.

If I could…. I’d just give it a million fucking stars…. This series owns my heart and I was so devastated when I finished reading Twisted Lies…. This series will always be my no 1…. No matter what….
Christian🤌🏻🥹🥺…. What can I even say about this man…. I knew I was gonna love this man as soon as I read about him in book 2 and did this man deliver…. Omg…. He broke all the standards…. Morally grey is indeed my favourite color without a doubt🫠❤️
He was such a softie when it came to Stella (he’d kill me if he read this🤣)…. He was so similar to Alex in so many ways…. And anyone who knows me, knows that I’m an Alex Volkov Girlie…. Obviously I had to love Christian.🤌🏻
Men written by Ana Huang are indeed just elite🫶🏻🥹
Every time Alex made an appearance in this book…🥵🫣
The last few chapters were so bittersweet…. I cried for way too long for it to be considered normal.🫣🙂
Christian and Stella’s chemistry was off the charts…. I kept feeling like someone had raised the temperatures in my room every time they were in close proximity because oh boy…. Was it hot….🫣🫣
And because it was a slow burn…. The temperatures only kept rising….
It is a love like no other…. He accepts her just the way she is…. No judgment. No changes.
She accepts him just as he is…. Morally grey and utterly handsome 😌🥲🥺
Ana Huang needs to pay for my therapy now just cause this series has just devastated me and now I have nothing to do…. Nothing can fill this void.
This series will always hold a very special place in my heart.🥺❤️🦋🫶🏻

I loved this book…. I couldn’t keep it down…. Carter is such a dreamy boyfriend 🤌🏻😭…. Everyone needs a Carter in their lives. Olivia was such a sassy yet softie and I loved her so much. Every character in this book was so amazingly written…. I loved them all. But as the author says Carter doesn’t share the stage with anyone…. So, he’s my most favourite character, obviously 🥹❤️
He gave me so many butterflies 🦋🦋🥺
The things he did for Olivia🫶🏻🤌🏻🫠…. I cannot even🥹
I cannot wait to read more from Becka and more books in this series❤️

I loved this book. It was everything you expect out of a sports romance with a star player and a nerdy tutor girl. It was so cute and so beautiful... Both Knox and JoJo were so adorable together...
I'm so eager to read about Cam and Blair..👀🤌🏻
JoJo was such a relatable character for me and I kept rooting for her to get her main character moment...
And boy did Knox give that to her... He was so nice to her... He was such an amazing boyfriend to her too.❤️

I wanted to read a dark romance because it had been long since I last read one!! And Rina Kent delivered it to me...
This is my second Rina Kent book and can I just say I'm so happy I decided to go into this book without thinking too much... Because God did I love it....
The spice... The characters and plot... Everything was great!!!💕
I'm soo excited to read the next books in this series 🖤

Loved it!!! This was so cute and funny... From the plot, to the characters, the spice... Everything was amazing 🤌🏻
Damien... I have nothing to say about this man... He's the perfect man... He's soooo amazing 🥺💛.... And he treated Abigail soooo nicely🤌🏻.... Nice is an understatement though 😅
Abigail, my girl... I was so sad for you when I learnt about what Richard did to you and how much it changed you... But I'm so glad you found yourself back and you found yourself a man who loves you the way you want to be loved🤍

I am at a loss for words over how much I loved this book. Nathan is so perfect and such an amazing boyfriend... And Anastasia is such an amazing and strong woman...🤌🏻
The chemistry between them was always there. The fact that this was a reverse grumpy-sunshine was so cute and funny at times. I loved every single part of their story. I'm looking forward to reading more from the author and more books in the UCMH series.

Also, Aaron Blackford has always (almost) topped my list of fictional boyfriends but I see Nathan sneaking his way up to the top.🫶🏻🥺

This will forever be my comfort book from now🥲💕

I went into this book expecting so much... And it delivered. Obviously, I did not have to sob or ugly cry in this one like the previous two in the series.. but I was always intrigued and on my toes to read the next page/chapter. Jules and Josh were like how the author kept describing them repeatedly throughout the book : two pieces of a puzzle that fit just right together. Their chemistry was beyond measures and my heart was in my mouth every time I read a spicy scene. Usually, I hate cocky men. But Josh was something else. He somehow passed my test? Idk. I could just see his other sides and I knew why he was the way he was. I empathised with both Josh and Jules for their past and childhood. Their scars ran deep and only the two of them could help heal each other.
The thing (other than the obvious reasons) that sets this book apart from the others for me is Alex and Josh's friendship. I will always be an Alex girlie and every time he appears in any book my heart flutters. I love how Josh and Alex found a way to be friends again because I loved every time they interacted. I think that is the ship I support the most in the series... Lmao.

I loved Jack and Rose and their story. I loved how grumpy Jack was but how he only saved his smiles for her. I loved when he frowned at her and she still found him adorable... Cause I did too.
According to me, this book could've been a little shorter but I loved it anyways.🤍

I cannot believe how much I've like this book. I don't usually go for princess - bodyguard trope cause it's not my thing. But after Twisted Love I wanted to read the entire series hence I picked up Twisted Games. I didn't expect a lot going into it, thinking that I might not end up liking this because of the Princess - Bodyguard trope. But boy was I wrong. Ana Huang has done such a fantastic job writing this. I loved every single part of this book. I am so speechless over how much I loved this. Rhys and Bridget were so perfect. They were meant to be together. The storyline, the plot twists, the spicy scenes.... Everything was done so perfectly 🤌🏻🥺
Cannot wait to read the final two books❤️
