Summary

She can never be his。。。but he's taking her anyway。




Stoic， broody， and arrogant， elite bodyguard Rhys Larsen has two rules: 1） Protect his clients at all costs 2） Do not become emotionally involved。 Ever。




He has never once been tempted to break those rules。。。until her。




Bridget von Ascheberg。 A princess with a stubborn streak that matches his own and a hidden fire that reduces his rules to ash。 She's nothing he expected and everything he never knew he needed。




Day by day， inch by inch， she breaks down his defenses until he's faced with a truth he can no longer deny: he swore an oath to protect her， but all he wants is to ruin her。 Take her。




Because she's his。




His princess。

His forbidden fruit。

His every depraved fantasy。




***




Regal， strong-willed， and bound by the chains of duty， Princess Bridget dreams of the freedom to live and love as she chooses。




But when her brother abdicates， she's suddenly faced with the prospect of a loveless， politically expedient marriage and a throne she never wanted。




And as she navigates the intricacies-and treacheries-of her new role， she must also hide her desire for a man she can't have。




Her bodyguard。

Her protector。

Her ultimate ruin。




Unexpected and forbidden， theirs is a love that could destroy a kingdom。。。and doom them both。




Twisted Games is a contemporary royal bodyguard romance。 It's book two of the Twisted series but can be read as a standalone。




Warning: This book contains a possessive alpha hero， explicit sexual content， and profanity。

PRE-ORDER Amazon US * Amazon UKTwisted Games is the second book in the Twisted series and gives us the story of Bridget and Rhys。 This book actually surprised me with the direction it went in for these characters but it was such an interesting direction I couldn't put the book down。 Rhys and Bridget had an amazing connection and it was one of those relationships that just has you smiling at the most random times because they were being so cute with one another。 And not only did we get some very PRE-ORDER Amazon US * Amazon UKTwisted Games is the second book in the Twisted series and gives us the story of Bridget and Rhys。 This book actually surprised me with the direction it went in for these characters but it was such an interesting direction I couldn't put the book down。 Rhys and Bridget had an amazing connection and it was one of those relationships that just has you smiling at the most random times because they were being so cute with one another。 And not only did we get some very cute moments， we also got some super steamy ones。 Their chemistry was insanely hot and just made the book even more captivating as I was dying to see when they would finally give in to their feelings。 Overall， this book is certainly recommended by me。 It is the second in a series but it could be read as a standalone with no problem。 Though， I do personally think that reading the first beforehand and getting the build up of these characters would be the best。 ARC kindly provided in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Rhys and Bridget have my heart， my soul， my thoughts。 How could they not with a forbidden love between a fierce Princess and a hardened Navy Seal turned body guard？ They don’t always get along， but when they finally allow themselves the feelings that are so clearly there between them， it’s like fireworks。 Ana Huang has a special place in my heart and I never thought anything would surpass Twisted Love but of course she did it again！ Currently counting down the days to Twisted Hate！！！

I just finished and I love Twisted Games so much， it is an exquisite slow burn romance， intense， sexy and emotional that keeps you on the edge of the seat from start to finish。Bridget and Rhys start their relationship on the left foot， and they can't stand each other， but under that exterior beats an intense attraction， even though their relationship is forbidden sparks fly between them and the chemistry is palpable through the pages。 I loved their conversations， and the banter， dear god， the ba I just finished and I love Twisted Games so much， it is an exquisite slow burn romance， intense， sexy and emotional that keeps you on the edge of the seat from start to finish。Bridget and Rhys start their relationship on the left foot， and they can't stand each other， but under that exterior beats an intense attraction， even though their relationship is forbidden sparks fly between them and the chemistry is palpable through the pages。 I loved their conversations， and the banter， dear god， the banter is off the charts。 I love the way Rhys protects Bridget and how their relationship evolves and little by little other feelings emerge， swooned so hard。This story is phenomenal passionate， sexy and emotional， we got angst in spades and twists and turns that took my breath away ， it it a roller coaster of emotions， I can't get enough of this couple and their scenes together， I definitely can't wait for Josh and Jules！ January can't come fast enough！ 。。。more
