    This book was an exhilarating ride from start to finish, delivering everything I love about an enemies-to-lovers romance. Josh and Jules's story was intense, hilarious, and incredibly steamy – pure perfection! The pacing was fast paced in the best way possible, constantly pushing the story forward with fiery banter/bickering and escalating tension.The enemies-to-lovers trope was executed flawlessly, building an undeniable sexual tension that erupted into pure passion. Beyond the romance, the underlying mystery/suspense regarding Jules's past added an intriguing layer that kept me guessing.

    I was completely captivated by Twisted Games. Rhys and Bridget's story was everything I hoped for and more – intense, emotional and incredibly steamy and offered a compelling blend of forbidden romance and political intrigue. The forbidden aspect of their romance was expertly handled, making every stolen glance and touch feel incredibly significant and built a incredible and powerful connection between the couple. Beyond the romance, the political intrigue and royal drama added a fascinating layer to the plot, preventing it from being just a forbidden romance.

    My thoughts on Twisted Love are a bit mixed. While I enjoyed certain aspects (and it was a fun book to read) others left me wanting more. The plot twists were a fascinating mix of predictable yet surprising. At times, the pacing felt a bit rushed - I felt like the romance wasn't explored in the way that I should have been and the final part the book was so fast paced that didn't felt like a ending.

    This was such a cute a fun book to read. It was a friends to lovers and I loved how simple the story it was. It didn't have unnecessary drama, no miscommunication, no one trying to break them apart - it was just two best friends falling into love - and that made their story even more beautiful to read. It was such a easy read filled with heartfelt memories with a lot of bickering in the mixture.

    This book was my favourite so far! This was a cozy and fun read that had a great world building but it was rushed and the way that the problems were solved in a "easy" way.

    This was a book that I enjoyed but I didn't loved. One of the main reasons that made me not love this story was the pacing - it was rushed and because of that the revelations didn't have the impact that they deserved. The book was a bridge that changed the tone of this world - it will no longer be sweet and cozy, it was added a depth to thka world.

    This was a cozy fantasy with a mix of a small town romance. This book has a diverse range of characters with a nice and cozy atmosphere. It was a fast paced story and at times predictable but the characters were complex and fun to read about. It was a good and cozy story to read!

    This was, without a doubt, my favourite book from this series. Blythe and Fate's story was magical and with so many surprises. I loved how their relationship began - the forced marriage, their bickering was so fun to read. The way that they developed and the way that their relationship changes was phenomenal and beautifully written. This book was filled with secrets and twists that were almost impossible to predict. The ending was not what I was expecting but it was beautifully imperfect and it fitted the characters.

    This book was even better than the first one! The mysteries surrounding the family were stronger and stronger and filled with twists and turns. New characters were introduced and they caused a great impact in this secretive world. This book was the perfect bridge for the next phase of the series and sets the tone for the next story that I am super curious to read!
