For me Twisted Games by Ana Huang was the book I expected the most this month。 A royal romance between the crown princess and her bodyguard。 I'm so happy the author didn't disappoint with the story。 If I thought Twisted Love was one of the best books I've read this year， words can't describe the perfection of Twisted Games。 We already met Bridget von Ascheberg and Rhys Larsen in the first book of this series， but there they were side characters。 Bridget was the perfect heroine that loved her fre For me Twisted Games by Ana Huang was the book I expected the most this month。 A royal romance between the crown princess and her bodyguard。 I'm so happy the author didn't disappoint with the story。 If I thought Twisted Love was one of the best books I've read this year， words can't describe the perfection of Twisted Games。 We already met Bridget von Ascheberg and Rhys Larsen in the first book of this series， but there they were side characters。 Bridget was the perfect heroine that loved her freedom she lived while she was second to the throne。 She is always so happy about the tiniest things in life we rarely notice， much less enjoy in them。 She was so passionate to maintain the friends she made while she lived in America and most of all I loved her loyalty to the people in her life。 When things changed and she became the crown princess， her life changed upside down， but she never backed down。 I loved her strength and determination to become the best queen she could be， and even if she wasn't prepared for the role， she was determined to be there for the people of her kingdom。 And Rhys。 Oh my god。 This character is from another world in my opinion。 He is so sarcastic and determined to take care of the princess， he tries to see as his client and nothing more。 He has his own rules and I lived the idea that he was ready to break them all for Bridget。 He was pretty grumpy all the time bat so possessive over Bridget on the other hand。 Even though he tried to hide it on many occasions， he has a heart of gold and can be really romantic。 I really loved this soft side of him。 I can't find the correct words to describe how much I loved him throughout the whole story！ The chemistry between the main characters was palpable from page one but they managed to resist it for quite a time。 The steamy scenes were really hot and so well written。 This book for me is the best book I've read this year。 If you are a romance reader， this book is a MUST READ for you！ 。。。more

“Bridget Von Ascheberg was mine and mine alone。 It didn’t matter that she wasn’t mine to take。 I was taking her anyway。”5 stars！God， I love this book！ A sexy and intense forbidden romance between a crown princess and her bodyguard。 With elements of enemies-to-lovers， and a ten-year age gape， there are tropes aplenty in this one， but it’s the intensity of the love story that absolutely captured my heart， and I loved Bridget and Rhys’s story so much。 This is the second book in the Twisted series， “Bridget Von Ascheberg was mine and mine alone。 It didn’t matter that she wasn’t mine to take。 I was taking her anyway。”5 stars！God， I love this book！ A sexy and intense forbidden romance between a crown princess and her bodyguard。 With elements of enemies-to-lovers， and a ten-year age gape， there are tropes aplenty in this one， but it’s the intensity of the love story that absolutely captured my heart， and I loved Bridget and Rhys’s story so much。 This is the second book in the Twisted series， and Bridget is one of four close friends who will feature in each of the books。 It can be read as a standalone， but the timeline overlaps a bit with the first book in the series， Twisted Love， so be aware that there are some spoilers for that book in this one。Bridget von Ascheberg is the princess of Eldorra， a small， fictional country in Europe。 She has travelled to the US to attend College and live a life free of politics and royal responsibilities， and she is living the life of a ‘normal’ college girl， except that she is constantly trailed by a bodyguard。 While her previous bodyguard felt like part of the family， her new bodyguard， Rhys Larsen， is a gruff and serious ex-military man with very firm ideas of what Bridget can and can’t do。 It’s immediately a recipe for disaster。 Rhys is cold and emotionally closed off， but it’s a hangover from his training and is how he deals with life。 His strict rules and stoic demeanour grate on the freedom-loving young princess， and the snark and sarcasm fly as they clash over and over again。 But underneath it all， there is a strong attraction that takes both of them by surprise。 They feel it instantly， but they know they can’t do anything about it so they both just ignore it as much as they can。 Doesn’t mean they’re not still thinking about it though。 She wanted it as much as I did。 I could hear it in her ragged breaths， see it in the way she looked at me， feel it in the slight arch of her body against mine。 Apparently I wasn’t the only one riding high on anger and adrenaline。 This book has the feel of a delicious slow burn。 Even though they don’t act on their feelings， you can feel it building underneath all of that snark， and the sexual tension is insane！ I was reading with so much excitement and anticipation， and reveled in every moment of their back and forth as the chemistry sizzles。 I was protective of all my clients， but this was different。 More visceral。 Part of me wanted to push her far away from me， and another part wanted to drag her into my arms and keep her as mine。 Things take a twist when Bridget’s brother， the Crown Prince， abdicates the throne for love， placing Bridget as next in line， and she is suddenly thrust back into royal life。 She is under more scrutiny now than she ever has been， and hiding her feelings for the man assigned to protect her is harder than ever。 A small smile touched Rhys’s lips。 “I always knew you would make a great queen。”“I’m not queen yet。”“You don’t need a crown to be queen， princess。” The build-up is fantastic， and I was feeling so much for these two。 And when they finally give in to their feelings， oh my freaking God。 The intensity between Rhys and Bridget is insane， and the sexy times is off-the-charts hot。 Rhys has a bit of a dominant streak， he’s a filthy talker and he knows exactly what he wants。 Thankfully， Bridget is right on board， and the connection between the two of them is visceral。 “There’s not much in the world I want to claim as mine。 I’ve seen and done too much shit in my life to believe in forever。 But you…” He grasped my chin with his free hand。 “You belong to me。 I don’t give a fuck what a law or anyone else says。 You are mine。” And it’s not just sex。 The bond they have formed goes way beyond the physical， and I love the way that we got to see the emotion between them develop the harder and deeper they fall for each other。 “Careful， Mr Larsen， or I’ll think you actually like me。”His mouth curled into a grin。 “Baby， we’re way beyond like。” But they are forbidden。 And not only that， the future Queen needs a husband， and he needs to be of noble birth。 Their situation is impossible， and their relationship could rock the monarchy。 But what will they be willing to sacrifice to keep each other？ “I can’t stay away from you。 Even when you’re not there， you’re everywhere。 In my head， in my lungs， in my fucking soul。” I freaking loved this story。 It sucked me in from the first page， and I was captivated the whole way through。 I felt so much for these characters， I loved their snark， banter and teasing， I loved their physical attraction and the way they gave themselves over to it， and I loved the depth of their emotion。 It’s all so intense， and though it took a little while， I love how they held nothing back from each other。 Their romance absolutely owned my heart。 Bridget’s friends all make an appearance。 I loved seeing Ava and Alex （from book #1） again， and the set-ups are now firmly in place for the next two books。 I am loving this series， and the intensity of these love stories， and cannot wait to continue on。 Such a great read – 5 stars。An Advanced Reader Copy of this book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Yet another fantastic book from Ana。 I loved the first book in this series and was wondering how she could top it。 Well I can let you know that she 100% did。 Rhys and Bridget are fantastic。 This book was a great read and highly suggest anyone who like romance novels to grab this and you won’t put it down until you finish。 Ana has quickly claimed a spot on my “buy anything she writes” list。 The characters she writes feel so real and well rounded， almost as if I know these people。

Twisted Games is one of my anticipated July reads！ I was so excited to read Bridget and Rhys' book！ Twisted Games is a standalone and book #2 in the Twisted series。 It's an age gap， forbidden royal bodyguard and forced proximity romance。 Although， you don't need to read book #1 "Twisted Love"， I highly recommend it that you do！ You'll see the storylines interconnecting with each other， hence this will enhance your reading experience。 My goodness！ I have no words！！ This book is utter perfection！！ Twisted Games is one of my anticipated July reads！ I was so excited to read Bridget and Rhys' book！ Twisted Games is a standalone and book #2 in the Twisted series。 It's an age gap， forbidden royal bodyguard and forced proximity romance。 Although， you don't need to read book #1 "Twisted Love"， I highly recommend it that you do！ You'll see the storylines interconnecting with each other， hence this will enhance your reading experience。 My goodness！ I have no words！！ This book is utter perfection！！ Ana Huang you out done yourself！ The build up， chemistry and heat， it was **chef's kiss**。 As soon as I started reading， I couldn't stop myself from putting it down！ I needed to know what was going to happen next！ Twisted Games is definitely a page turner; it's a read that gets you hooked from the very first page！ The storyline is amazing！ The character growth of the main characters is phenomenal！ I loved how the plot unravelled; a lot of twist and turns that I didn't expect to happen！ It blew my mind！！ Bridget is a princess and Rhys is her bodyguard。 They may have gotten off the wrong foot when they first met， but that didn't stop them from being attracted to one another。 Bridget is an amazing character！ I loved her from Twisted Love。 She's a sweet， gentle and kind heroine， but Rhys brings out the sassyness in her。 At the same， Bridget deals with anxiety; she has doubts about herself。 And she has a heavy burden on her shoulders。 But Rhys was always there， helping her along the way。 By the second half of the book， Bridget's character evolved。 I loved how she began to stand up for herself and that she didn't take any bulsh*t from anyone。 And Rhys！ Don't get me started！ The things he did for Bridget， my heart melted！ He may have a tough exterior， but deep down he cares for Bridget。 Yes， his job is to protect her， but the lines got blurred very quick。 Especially， when he started to know Bridget a bit more。 More than anything， Rhys wants to see Bridget happy。 Bridget and Rhys sure did love to irritate each other at first。 And this only heightened the s*xual tension between them。 I loved reading Rhys' POV， especially how he desperately fought his desires for her。 But boy， oh boy！ Rhys is just too hot to handle！ I mean， his possessiveness and the steamy scenes was through the roof！ Overall， if you love reading forbidden or royal romances， I highly recommend this one！！ I can't wait for book #3 Jules and Josh's story！！**I received an ARC in exchange for my 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！！！
