Twisted Hate was a long read at just over 500 pages, but it was impossible to put it down and I read it in a 24 hour period. I was engaged with the story throughout and I was really invested in this couple. It’s easily the best in this series so far!⠀

I liked the characters much more individually than in the previous books. The lady MC had a spine and a heathy amount of self respect. Heroines that do nothing but drool over the love interest irritate me to no end, so Jules was refreshing. Her personality, wit, confidence, and comebacks were all fire. I also liked that the cocky guy MC was capable of being compassionate. It made Josh more attractive. He was an unexpected, mostly pleasant, surprise.⠀

Together Jules and Josh were a really hot couple. They had excellent banter, so much tension and intense chemistry. They had some great tropes too. Forced proximity, enemies with benefits, and “frenemies” to lovers. This story was super spicy with a lot of rage bonking. This book is not for the faint of heart.⠀

Twisted Hate was a true hate to love romance! I was most definitely not disappointed. Every book in this series seems to be better than the last, so I’m really looking forward to book four!
