Summary
He has a heart of ice。。。but for her， he'd burn the world。
Alex Volkov is a devil blessed with the face of an angel and cursed with a past he can’t escape。
Driven by a tragedy that has haunted him for most of his life， his ruthless pursuits for success and vengeance leave little room for matters of the heart。
But when he’s forced to look after his best friend’s sister， he starts to feel something in his chest:
A crack。
A melt。
A fire that could end his world as he knew it。
***
Ava Chen is a free spirit trapped by nightmares of a childhood she can’t remember。
But despite her broken past， she’s never stopped seeing the beauty in the world…including the heart beneath the icy exterior of a man she shouldn’t want。
Her brother’s best friend。
Her neighbor。
Her savior and her downfall。
Theirs is a love that was never supposed to happen—but when it does， it unleashes secrets that could destroy them both…and everything they hold dear。
Twisted Love is a brother’s best friend/opposites attract romance with a hint of suspense。 It's book one in the Twisted series but can be read as a standalone。
WARNING: This book contains a possessive alpha/antihero， explicit sexual content， and profanity。 No cheating or menage， but if you're looking for a traditionally sweet， loveable hero， this is not the book for you。 Recommended for 18+。

I’d give this book zero stars if I could。 So bad

What a whorl wind。 Ava and Alex where both so similar and yet so different。 With pasts that haunt them both the forces proximity could only lead to one thing。 Brothers best friend， boy next door， “touch her and you die”， forced proximity， grumpy sunshine， drama/plot twists， spice， grovelling and HEA。 Would recommend。

Sorry。。。 but no。This but stated strong but got so bad too quickly。 I still don't know if I'm going to read the rest of the series， and if I do， it's only because the main character's name is Rhys。 Sorry。。。 but no。This but stated strong but got so bad too quickly。 I still don't know if I'm going to read the rest of the series， and if I do， it's only because the main character's name is Rhys。 。。。more

Was pretty good， got kinda boring by the last chapter and I fully skipped the epilogue just out of boredom。 I really enjoyed most of the book though not going to lie :）

3。5 stars， I ended up liking this book a lot towards the end but I really didn’t like it at first， I’m still not sure if I want to read the whole series though。

4 ⭐️ Ugh this book was so good， I couldn’t put it down。 I heard the other books were even better so that’s the only reason I didn’t give it a full 5。 I want to read the rest of the series and decide then。 The chemistry between Ava and Alex is soo good。 I love them together。 This had brothers best friend， grumpy/sunshine— literally， and it was just so great。

Twisted Love follows Alex and Ava。 And when her brother goes to study abroad。 He recruits his best friend Alex， a wealthy man， to watch over his sister。It seemed intriguing to me。 It was a nice read for me， and it has received a lot of attention on tiktok。 I finished it in three days。Alex， The things that I would let him do。 He is rich Mysterious，moody， possessive， and dominant。 Touch her and I will kill you。 “I would burn the world for you”- Alex Volkov。 However， there were some things that mad Twisted Love follows Alex and Ava。 And when her brother goes to study abroad。 He recruits his best friend Alex， a wealthy man， to watch over his sister。It seemed intriguing to me。 It was a nice read for me， and it has received a lot of attention on tiktok。 I finished it in three days。Alex， The things that I would let him do。 He is rich Mysterious，moody， possessive， and dominant。 Touch her and I will kill you。 “I would burn the world for you”- Alex Volkov。 However， there were some things that made me dislike him。 Alex was arrogant and full of himself。 He had every scapegoat in the world， so he never had to face the consequences of his actions， and this novel did a lot of telling and not much showing。 He was like， "clearly， I have fbi agents working for me，" and "obviously， I have this working for me。" It was bothersome since there was nothing he couldn't accomplish。I adore the grumpy sunshine part of this， Ava。 She is lovely and sees the best in everyone; nevertheless， when the conflict occurred， I didn't enjoy the portrayal of her losing her sense of self since it was so frustrating to read。I also had a problem with the enemies to lovers transition in here， ever since they switched to lovers， they lost all of their chemistry。 It was less of enemies to lovers， and more of ‘i dislike you a little’ to lovers。 Brothers best friend， forbidden romanceThere was a lot of grovelling in this book。 I hate when the male love interest messes up badly， and he only apologises once and she just accepts his apology。 Like this Man grovelled for an ENTIRE YEAR。 before she took him back and that's why i love Ava。 Overall， it was a good book。 I will be starting the Twisted game （the second book of the twisted series） shortly。 。。。more

this was such an interesting read。 the pining and the chemistry between them is so good。 but then the twist and turns of their trauma oh wow。 but I really wish that Josh and Alex make up and I hope that they do later throughout the series。 it was good and it was a 3。5 though。

3。5/5 stars。 The first half of this book， I really enjoyed。 TikTok really hyped this book up， so I had very high expectations going into it。 I love a good “morally grey， I’ll burn the world down for you， brothers best friend， I hate everyone but you” book character which is exactly what Alex was but he was also a little bit too possessive for my liking。 I know a lot of people really enjoy that trope though。 I’m looking forward to reading the next book， Twisted Games。 I keep hearing great things 3。5/5 stars。 The first half of this book， I really enjoyed。 TikTok really hyped this book up， so I had very high expectations going into it。 I love a good “morally grey， I’ll burn the world down for you， brothers best friend， I hate everyone but you” book character which is exactly what Alex was but he was also a little bit too possessive for my liking。 I know a lot of people really enjoy that trope though。 I’m looking forward to reading the next book， Twisted Games。 I keep hearing great things about it！ 。。。more

you typically think that the brothers best friend trope is cliché but ana wrote this so well。 it was hard to put down the book & when I couldn’t read I was constantly thinking about the next twist & turn that was going to happen。 always on my toes never knowing what is going to happen。 I’m excited to see how the rest of the girls love lives play out & see their pov’s of the other characters and events that have happened。 also， having a playlist for the book made by the author is always so person you typically think that the brothers best friend trope is cliché but ana wrote this so well。 it was hard to put down the book & when I couldn’t read I was constantly thinking about the next twist & turn that was going to happen。 always on my toes never knowing what is going to happen。 I’m excited to see how the rest of the girls love lives play out & see their pov’s of the other characters and events that have happened。 also， having a playlist for the book made by the author is always so personal & makes the reader that much more enjoyable。favorite quotes: *spoilers*“Mom， if you’re reading this， turn back immediately。 There are scenes that will scar you for life。” （pg。 n/a）“But just because things could be worse didn’t mean they didn’t suck。 Stop。 Think positive thoughts。” （pg。 1）“Not that I would hitchhike， anyway—I’ve watched horror movies， thank you very much。” （pg。 2）“our childhood had been a hundred shades of messed up，” （pg。 4）“daydreamed about all the places I would love to visit but would probably never get to。” （pg。 4-5）“Alex’s fingers curled around the steering wheel wheel， and my crazy， hormonal mind matched onto how beautiful they were。” （pg。 8）“Contrary to what I’d expected， his touch wasn’t cold—it was scorching， and it burned through my skin and muscles until I felt its warmth in the pit of my stomach。” （pg。 9）“Red lace bra， hard nipples—thanks， air-conditioning—the whole shebang。 I crossed my arms over my chest， my face flaming the same color as my bra。 ‘Was it like this the entire time？’ ‘Yes。’ ‘You could’ve told me。’ ‘I did tell you。 Just now。’” （pg。 9）“I didn’t do sweet nothings or lovemaking。 I fucked a certain way， and only a specific type of woman was into that shit。 Not hardcore BDSM， but not soft。” （pg。 13）“Men。 My gender could use a little more standards and a little less thinking with their small head。” （pg。 15-16）“‘Don’t tell me you’re getting sentimental on me。 If you bought us friendship bracelets， I’m out。’” （pg。 16）“It was the way she carried herself， like she’d seen it all—the good， the bad， the downright ugly— and still believed in goodness。 It was as stupid as it was admirable。” （pg。 17-18）“I took perverse pleasure in the fact that I could rile her up so much。” （pg。 18）“I didn't make a lot of promises， but when I did， I kept them。 Committed myself to them。 Which meant if I promised Josh I'd look after Ava， I'd fucking look after her， and I'm not talking about a text check-in every two weeks。 She was under my protection now。” （pg。 19）“There should be a Venmo for breasts that allows women to send and receive cup sizes with the press of a button。” （pg。 25）“‘Nah， leave it there。 He likes it。’ ‘Who？’ As far as I knew， no one had taken over Josh's lease yet… ‘You’ll see。’” （pg。 26）“‘You。’ Josh pointed at her。 ‘Do not pull any of yourshenanigans while I'm gone。’ ‘It's cute how you think you have a say in my life。’” （pg。 29）“‘I have a superior memory。’ My snort slipped out before I could stop it。 ‘Someone has a high opinion of himself。’” （pg。 34）“I couldn't imagine not having the safety net of knowing horrible events would eventually recede until they were only faint whispers from the past。” （pg。 35）“I was nervous， yes， and a bit terrified。 But I'd also never felt more alive。” （pg。 35）“‘Address。’ ‘You're hot， but you can be a real overbearing asshole。’ ‘Address。’” （pg。 41）“‘Give it back，’ she ordered。 It was almost cute how she thought she could order me around。” （pg。 45）“The weather， the latest blockbuster， who broke up with who。。。 who the fuck cared？” （pg。 47）“‘Operation Emotion。’” （pg。 53）“‘We come up with a list of emotions， and you try to make him feel each one。 It'll be a test of sorts。 Like giving him an annual physical to make sure he's functioning properly。’” （pg。 53）“A wicked smile slashed across Jule’s face。 ‘Jealously。’” （pg。 54） 。。。more

I don’t think I liked it because it took me ages to finish and also like it could have been condensed but like it was cute sometimes

Too many tropes and a guy who is honestly full of himself and controlling， but I 100% will be reading the next book cause forbidden romance with a bodyguard and a Royal is too good to pass up
