This might be an unpopular opinion (as unpopular as you can get reading such a popular book lol) but I like this book better than book 2?!

I read Twisted Games first last year because the plot appealed to me better, people seemed to say it was the best one, and my sister happened to get in a blind date with a book. While I did enjoy Bridget and Rhys’ story, I think the thing that bothered me the most was that there were so many time jumps throughout the book that it felt choppy. 

Reading book one I can see why that happened because Bridget and Rhys’ plot is ongoing simultaneously to this plot. 

I liked the grumpy sunshine trope in this book a lot. I liked the dangerous side of Alex and the characters. I like romance but I do love when the stakes are high and there are so many other emotions twirling around. 

Alex is a classic example of a man I would never date and actively avoid if I met him in real life. His jealous threats are insane. But clearly there is truth in the idea that you can like love something on paper but not tolerate in real life. Because I liked Alex despite all his insane red flags. 

Again, wasn’t a fan of the huge time jumps at the end but not as bad as in book two. 

Anywho! I have to go decide which book I want to read next!
