Ana Huang loooves a 2010s CW plot twist reveal and villain monologue. She also looooves trying to make the novel a dark romance by adding elements that were not necessary at all to the plot… like just embrace your love for a romcom!

Very slow paced, I got to 62% in and nothing was really happening between the characters. It started off well but I don't think the characters personalities developed enough for the book to keep me interested.

Ok these books are I think objectively not good?? Not trying to be a snob but the writing, the inconsistencies, I even seen some grammar mistakes which I have never before. The plots are outlandish and the MMCs are unbelievable the FMCS frankly boring and the stakes are unnecessarily high and don’t make sense. Not to mention these are like the same book four times. Morally gray MMC (maybe a billionaire) who CANT date FMC for whatever reason but omg they are obsessed (to a concerning degree) and can’t help it and have to f them senseless (seriously can’t any of them enjoy like… gentle… they always pounding them to a new galaxy or something). 

BUT I read them. And quickly. They are addicting!!! I don’t know why!!! Very easy to read if you get past being frustrated by the inconsistencies and just total lunacy that is the plot. Somehow I was able to. 

Do I think this book is good? No. 
Do I like it? I don’t think so. 
Did I enjoy myself??? I don’t even know if that is a yes!! 
Am I just really into smut? Absolutely not.  
WHY DID I READ THESE brb I gotta talk to my therapist about this

Firrst off I am biased because I don't love Ana Huang's writing, but they always seem to hook me just like Twisted Lies. This book is chessy and unrealistic. There were many parts of the plot that didn't add up to me and those unrealistoc parts dampned the book for me. 

Out of the whole series I would say this book is 3rd and the 1st book is last. To be fair even in the book Ana Huang states that it is cheesy so I don't really fault her. I just didn't particularly get entranced by this book because of that, but her writing intruged me enough to rread thhe whole series so.

- We all love a bit of a bad boy, don’t we? 
- Yeah, but not a fucking murderer, though, Chris. 

I’m sorry but Christian Harper is a fucking psychopath and nothing about that turns me on. What the hell, Ana?
