Intrigue, Steam, and Friendship
Twisted Games by Ana Huang is a romance novel that explores the forbidden love between Princess Bridget and her bodyguard, Rhys. The premise is intriguing, blending elements of royalty, forbidden love, and a touch of suspense. However, the execution falls short in some areas.
As a second read by this author, I found the plot to be quite similar to her previous work. While the premise is intriguing, the execution felt somewhat repetitive. The pacing could have been tighter, especially in the middle sections where the story drags a bit.
While the steamy scenes are well-written, adding tension and excitement to the story, the emotional connection between the protagonists felt less developed than in her previous work. I found myself more invested in the couple from her first book.
One aspect that shines, however, is the dynamic and lovable friend group in the series. They add humor, heart, and a sense of camaraderie that balances out the more dramatic moments. Their interactions kept me engaged, and I’m excited to continue the series with books 3 and 4 to see more of their evolving relationships and stories.
Overall, Twisted Games is an enjoyable read for those who enjoy romance with a touch of intrigue. While it has its strengths, it doesn't quite reach the heights of Ana Huang's other works. If you're looking for a quick and easy romance with some steamy scenes, this book might be worth checking out. However, if you're expecting a deep and emotionally resonant story, you might be left wanting more.
