Table of Contents
1. Princess and Bodyguard Dynamic:
The combination of Bridget being a princess and Rhys as her bodyguard creates a forbidden and special romance. The contrast between their roles adds tension and excitement to their relationship, making this a must read for readers who love this dynamic(me).
2. Better Than the First Book:
“Twisted Games” surpasses the first book, “Twisted Love,” in terms of romance. The chemistry between Bridget and Rhys is more intense and engaging, making their love story more enjoyable.
3. Character Backstory and Development:
The well-crafted backstories and character development for both Bridget and Rhys add depth to the story. Rhys’ protective nature towards Bridget and their cute and funny dialogue further enrich their relationship.
What I Didn’t Like
1. Length of the Story:
The story felt excessively long, particularly in the last 200 pages, which dragged on and impacted the overall pacing. A more concise narrative would have maintained the reader’s interest better.
2. Unnecessary Time Jumps:
While slow-burn romances are appreciated, the time jumps in “Twisted Games” felt unnecessary and disrupted the flow of the story. A more seamless progression would have enhanced the reading experience.
Spice Level
The spice in “Twisted Games” is very detailed, with numerous sex scenes that are explicit and passionate. This book rates 5/5 stars on the spice scale, making it a steamy read for those who enjoy detailed romantic scenes.
