Twisted Love
🩵🌊📷☀️🧁🍪
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
💭Personal thoughts: let’s just start with the fact that I hate how this is marketed as a “Brother’s best friends” trope, when it’s nothing like that. Her brother cares but he’s not even in the story until the end. He’s literally gone most of the book. It’s very grumpy x sunshine trope and has dark themes. Check trigger warnings if needed. I love the aspect that she’s into baking, I love when characters have cute hobbies. If you read the synopsis, I enjoyed both issues that Alex & Ava had. Between their childhood traumas and how they go about it. Plot twist so be weary of reading spoilers!
🤔Yes, no, maybe? maybe… I enjoyed the plot and storyline. A bit too spicy for me but I enjoyed the storyline and romance more than my dislike of the spice. Would recommend more for smut lovers.
❤️🔥Spicy level:🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5 | pretty spicy, kinda intense for me.

Ava is het tegenovergestelde van Alex en dat maakt het juist een goede romance. De bijnaam Sunshine past echt bij haar!
Ik ben van mening dat er soms wel gaten zaten in het verhaal.

What makes me go 'meh' the most is the character Alex.
The spicy scenes are good in my opinion, as they are rough but 100% consensual. Some other things don't reflect that consent though,
I usually like the grumpy x sunshine trope and yea, the posessiveness is kinda hot but
Also... Ana Huang said in an interview that she likes 'morally grey characters' like Alex. And I get it. But yoo that might be... a bit much...?
The girl friend group are likeble though, as is her brother Josh. The plot was thrilling, though a little bit predictable. I'd say it's an easy read, and, as I said, still entertaining. Maybe a good entry into darker romance.
I will keep reading the series and I'm looking forward to the other characters, couples and tropes.
