After reading Twisted Games, I really didn't think it would get any better. I am happy to be wrong. This book was the cherry on top. In my opinion, the best of the series.
First of all Christian π₯΅π₯΅π₯΅π₯΅. Need I say more.
Stella was a fantastic fmc, who I loved and had beautiful character development.
This was a story of a fake relationship that was to benefit both the sassy Stella and charismatic ( morally grey) Christian. It turns out I like my book boyfriends very morally grey π€·ββοΈ
Stella l, grows and evolves as Christian supports and scaffolds her ever growing confidence in finding out what she really wants in life. What's important to her. As well as his own journey of self discovery.
We get some amazing spice (again if you don't like spicy, I wouldn't recommend this series). However, if you love a good billionaire romance go right ahead.
I full hearted

I have discovered a love of hockey romance ove the last few month. With The deal and Icebreaker setting some pretty high standards. However, this book definitely held its own. I read it in almost one sitting and it gave me all the feels.
I loved Jamie and Pippa from the start and the tension between them with a slow burn.
They were enemies to begin with and well and truly lovers by the end. With his Grumpy to her sunshine it was bound to have some bumps along the way.
With his Pro Hockey career and her being his PA, they had some issues to over come. But with some forced proximity that soon sorted itself out. With a little spice coaching along the way.
This was a fun hockey romance, with fabulous character and plot development. All you could want from a romance.

This was an extremely enjoyable read as we continue learning about this 'super group' of characters. Ben and Honey are in a teacher student relationship and well, honey wants more. She decides seducing Ben is the best way forward, then we have the will we, won't we scenario. Ben was just the sweetest and cutest mmc. Honey was fiesty and sassy. I read this book almost in one sitting as I couldn't put it down. Yes again another great book by Tessa Bailey.

Oh my gosh this book was not at all what I expected. I was thinking it would be a light fluffy romance com. Well, it was that and more. If you like your spice then you will love this. If your won't one for spice then this is definitely not for you. Don't be fooled by the sweet innocent front cover, this book is full of full on spice.
It is a very light and laugh out loud read too. The story is great and the character development is there. The characters are loveable, how ever I dis find the fmc slightly annoying in parts. This is a stranger's to lovers with angst and a lot of trust issues to deal with.
If you love Tessa Bailey, you will love this book. If you like romance coms and spice you'll like this book.
I loved it and couldn't get enough.

I thought Twisted games was good, well this didn't fail to hit the mark either. The relationship and sexualising tension between Josh and Jules was top notch. The banter, wit and flirting was fantastic. The plot was fast paced and kept me reading throughout, I didn't want to put it down. Did I mention the spice, oh the spice. Once it started it didn't stop. This book is for those who live their smutt. All the characters from previous books make their appearance and support the MC's. The enemies to lovers amd morally grey Josh Chen are what I love in a book. I am not sure if I could pick a favourite of the series yet, but am looking forward to Twisted Lies.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved following all the couples and seeing what happened to them after Briar. Where they ended up and the trials they face. How they all tackle relationships, marriage and kids. They all still had the amazing chemistry we saw in the books. I really enjoyed having a different pov each chapter of each part of the book.
I am sad to finish this series, but can not wait to start the next series Briar U.

All I knew going into this was that I loved AB and SJM writing. I had heard it all about world building and not everyone's fav of the series.
I totally agree, it's all about the world building and character development. Yes, there is a plot and the story develops as the characters do. However, it was very slow in parts and in typical SJM style the last 100 pages was a frenzy of activity and plot development. The fmc continued to grow and their was a tad bit of romance for her, but not a huge amount. The supporting characters were loveable and added to the twists and turns as they did in AB.
I enjoyed it and look forward to book to Crown of Midnight.

I can't describe the sadness I have after finishing this glorious series and book. Before I go in about my love for the series, this book was everything I hoped it would be.
Back in Knockemout with Nash and (my favourite book boyfriend) Knox as well as the lovely Naomi and Lina. We finally learn about why there is so much animosity between Sloan and Lucian. What the history is and why they are the way they are. We discover more about their childhood and families amd we learn to love them even more than we dis before. There is still the crime theme thrown in there amongst all the sexual tension and slow burn between Lucian and Sloan. At time I was literally so frustrated with Lucian and Sloan that I had to put the book down and breathe. I was yelling at them and then the next minute I'm fanning myself to cool down from all the spice. This book gave me all the feels possible and didn't disappoint on delivering a fast plot and character development I yern for as well as all my favourite characters in all their glory.
Lucy Score gave the most perfect ending you could ask for at the end of the series. I was given everything I wanted and more.
This was the series that really got me into small town romance and spice. Now I can't get enough of it. I know that I'll be rereading it again soon because I can't bring myself to know that there is no more.

Holy Cow!!!! What a book. I thought book 1 was good well....this just topped that no problem. This is a princess bodyguard love story, an enemies to lovers, will they/won't they, slow burn. It basically has all the things. We welcome back the girls from Twisted love aswell as the dashingly broody Alex. If you thought Alex was Grumpy well he has nothing on Rhys. However, Bridget is the sparkle and sunshine to his broody/grumpiness. Rhys and Bridget have the most amazing banter and thanks to her we get to see him with his guard down (even laugh). Rhys and Bridget made me want to keep reading. Their character development, their story, their love and their spice in the well...anywhere really....
I'm so excited for book 3 Twisted Hate.

To be honest I'd give this more if I could.
