I love Stella and Christian. It’s so sad I’m done with the whole series…
I love how Ana Huang always brings up the other couples from the other books.

I love that Stella is pregnant and that she changed Christians mind about basically everything (LOVE). And omg the way they “met”, or rather he met her.

This is my favorite of the series. While still not great, the relationship is a bit healthier. I also enjoyed the overlap with her King of Sins series.

I loved this so much. I was initially intimidated going into it because I heard that others find it slow or boring but for me it was the perfect pace for the characters. I loved Christian harper!!!!! when i tell you that man is OBSESSED with his girl, very much a swoon-worthy read.

First of all, I love that we have a character with anxiety. I feel like Stella portrayed a representation of it so accurately. Secondly, I was so nervous to start this book because of my feelings toward Twisted Hate. However, I am happy to say this is probably my favorite book in the series next to Twisted Love. I really enjoyed the mystery aspects in this story as well. I'm looking forward to reading Dante's story in King of Wrath.

3.0

This book can be read as a standalone. There is a very short crossover scene with Dante Russo from King of Wrath. Christian Harper is the CEO of a security company. He has been interested in his neighbor, Stella Alonso, since he met her. Stella has a blog and works as an influencer. She dreams of starting her own fashion line. Christian agrees to fake date her so that she can get to 1 million followers. Stella's stalker returns and Christian convinces Stella to move in with him until they find the stalker. The premise of the book was fine, but it started to get a bit too soap operaish for me. This would be a fun, mindless romance beach read though.

This book counts as my "Art Gallery" square of the Ripped Bodice 2024 Summer Bingo.
