All I've Never Wanted by Ana Huang
All I've Never Wanted was one of the first books I had ever read from Wattpad when I joined all those years ago. This story has a special place in my heart. It has been a while, so I don't remember a lot of it. But I remembered patiently waiting for each new update. Not being able to put it down until I finished reading the chapter. Wanting to read more, since it was uncompleted when I read it.
Wattpad back then was a big part of my teen years. Always trying to find stories to read that I either could relate to or some fantasy I wanted to live. This was the second one. It was a cliche romance but in a good way.
For nostalgia's sake, I want to reread it whenever I have a chance sometime soon. Since I don't remember much, I will update this review when I reread All I've Never Wanted. Ana Huang's other works are also on my TBR.

Twisted Games by Ana Huang
5.0
Reading Twisted Love and Twisted Games back to back made me realize that Ana Huang's works get better each time. I'm not sure if it holds true to all of her works, but at least it does with the Twisted series. The timelines for both overlap for a part of it, so I'm glad that I did read it back to back. That being said, I prefer Bridget and Rhys over Ava and Alex.
Twisted Games is a hate-to-love, forbidden romance, princess and bodyguard story.
Rhys understands Bridget. He's able to see the real her, beyond what she shows the public. While Bridget was able to knock down all of Rhys defenses and got under his skin. They're able to be vulnerable to each other. As well as support each other. Bridget and Rhys just understand one another.
All of the angst was worth the slow burn.
I couldn't put Twisted Games down. Ana hooked me from the dedication: "To all the girls who said fuck Prince Charming, give me a scarred knight."
I can't wait for Twisted Hate.

To My First And Last One Night Stand by J.S. Cooper
4.0
I'm still wrapping my head around what I want to say about this. There were moments when loved reading this, and some when I hated it. I don't think it was hate, but more so frustration. There were moments when I hated one of the characters because of their decisions. At the end of the day, characters should be dimensional and not flat. If you have strong feelings about them, whether it be good or bad, then the author is doing something right. And this is one of those cases. I came into reading this without reading the others in the series, but it made me want to read it and be immersed in that world. It was interesting and I didn't want to put it down.
The Billionaire's Mask by Margarette Grey
4.0
Due to past traumas, Brandon believes he's a monster. So he hides away from the world. No one has seen his face for years because he wears a mask.
He was hurt before, so he keeps people at a distance. Until Alayna.
Alayna was hired to cook for Brandon. Curious by nature, she wants to know more about Brandon because he's so mysterious. She has been the only one in a long time to break down his walls.
The Billionaire's Mask is a journey of mystery, love, sacrifice, and self.
The Billionaire's Mask by Margarette Grey holds a special place in my heart. There were moments when I related to Brandon, and then there were moments that I couldn't even stand him. It was a little instalovey. Not that it's a bad thing, just that it was present. Sometimes you want an instalovey book. I can't wait for the second book because the ending made me so frustrated I wanted to know more.

Scarlet Princess by Robin D. Mahle, Elle Madison
Most people say, "don't judge a book by its cover." Which I believe applies most of the time. But I am the type of person who does judge a book by its cover, literally. The first thing about a book that catches my eye would be the title and cover, and then the summary is what seals the deal.
Scarlet Princess is a story in the Lochlann Realm and takes place after The Lochlann Treaty. Although, you don't have to read it before reading Scarlet Princess.
Going into Scarlet Princess blindly because I forgot what it was about when I began reading was the best decision I made. Enemies-to-lovers is one of my favorite tropes to read. I loved Rowan and Theo's dynamic. I tend not to read a lot of historical fiction because of how females are portrayed. But Rowan is not your typical historical romance female character. She would fit right in today in the 21st century. She's funny, strong-willed, independent, and rebellious. There were hilarious one-liners throughout that made me laugh out loud.
Cliffhangers are a hit or miss for me. However, Robin and Elle made it work out perfectly by making Scarlet Princess come full circle. I can't wait to delve into the Lochlann Realm with The Lochlann Treaty soon or Tarnished Crown when it comes out.
