Quick Opinion š: A romance that didnāt quite land, but the series setup shows potential Why I Read This š: Recommended by my friend Natalie My Summary š: Alex Volkov has been hiding his past behind a cold, calculated exterior. But when his best friend asks him to keep an eye on his little sister, Ava, while heās out of the country, he doesnāt expect to fall for the woman heās supposed to protect. As their relationship blurs lines, keeping his secrets hidden becomes harder and breaking the ābest friendās sisterā rule becomes far too easy. My Review š©µ: Twisted Love serves stronger as a mystery-mafia narrative than it does as an emotional romance, which made the book feel tonally uneven but not without intrigue. I struggled to connect with the chemistry between Alex and Ava. The emotional foundation felt weak, making the intimate moments feel more disconnected than compelling. The explicit scenes lacked any emotional grounding, which made it feel out of sync with their relationship. Alexās characterization is often read as immature or performatively dark, which undercut the grumpy/sunshine dynamic the story was aiming for. That said, Huangās writing includes undeniable flashes of beauty with certain lines that are emotionally resonant and poetic, though occasionally disrupted by overly modern phrasing that pulled me out of the story. Despite my mixed feelings, the setup for the next couple intrigued me enough to continue the series.

Romantic hereeee
Ava was so sweet and vivid, I could feel her energy and emotion spilling out from the pages. One of my favorite characters ever! Usually not a fan of the grumpy-sunshine trope, but she and Alex were adorable! Perfect amount of spice. Definitely read this book if you love romance!

It was okayš
My opinion I found it cringe and I lowkey didnāt like either of the mc (MY OPINION). Also Alex singing gave me second hand embarrassmentš. But overall I made it through but at first I was gonna dfened this book but I made myself read it because I needed to read the series. But I recommend to those if they like older brother bsf trope and stuff and even a sweet romance with š¶ļø.

WORTH THE HYPE š
This book most certainly lived up to the hype!! Ava & Alex are quite the pair, I loved reading about them! Also, Ava's group of friends was awesome! This is the first book I've read by Ana Huang, but it definitely won't be the last!

I read this in one sitting & forgot about survival
Yes, meaning I started and finished this book in a singular day. I forgot to eat, my eyes couldnāt focus after finally unlocking them from the pages. First of all, this was the first book I challenged myself to read that had any āsmutā in it and while it was new and different, I thought I wouldnāt take with it well. I was wrong, it opened up a new world of reading for meā¦ giving the experience of āreal world intimacyā a step up from the typical soft romance. Showing the good, the bad, the ugly of bonding between people who deeply love one another, the consequences of lies and the limitations one must push past to prove themself. This book was so. good. I loved it so much that I wished I could force myself awake another 24 hours to begin and finish book 2 and so forth until I finished the entire series. Needless to say, from sunrise to 2 am and a 12-hour shift of work tomorrow did not stop me from finishing this book. I pray this series ends up on the screen, or else I will manage to re-read it over and over again so I will never forget the lives of these characters and their stories.
