Twisted Lies Twisted: Book 4

Ana Huang2022
He'll do anything to have her...including lie. Charming, deadly, and smart enough to hide it, Christian Harper is a monster dressed in the perfectly tailored suits of a gentleman. He has little use for morals and even less use for love, but he can’t deny the strange pull he feels toward the woman living just one floor below him. She’s the object of his darkest desires, the only puzzle he can’t solve. And when the opportunity to get closer to her arises, he breaks his own rules to offer her a deal she can’t refuse. Every monster has their weakness. She’s his. His obsession. His addiction. His only exception. ** Sweet, shy, and introverted despite her social media fame, Stella Alonso is a romantic who keeps her heart in a cage. Between her two jobs, she has little time or desire for a relationship. But when a threat from her past drives her into the arms—and house—of the most dangerous man she’s ever met, she’s tempted to let herself feel something for the first time in a long time. Because despite Christian’s cold nature, he makes her feel everything when she’s with him. Passionate. Protected. Truly wanted. Theirs is a love twisted with secrets and tainted by lies…and when the truths are finally revealed, they could shatter everything. Twisted Lies is a steamy, medium to slow burn fake dating romance. It is the fourth and final book in the Twisted series but can be read as a standalone. WARNING: Contains a morally gray male MC, explicit content, violence, profanity, and topics that may be sensitive to some readers. Please see inside the book for a detailed list. Recommended for 18+

Oh my God this book… I can’t believe I’ve finished Twisted series! Christian Harper! The man that you are!! I surprisingly grew fond of the characters. Stella was somehow relatable too, and she is just adorable the way she is and the positive changes she acquired.

I love the flow and how it’s still focused on Christian and Stella while including snippets of what happened to the other pairs. The epilogue was everything, I’m so happy for all of them!

THE SECOND BEST BOOK OF THE SERIES

(In my opinion, ofc)

I loved, I mean, LOVED Stella! She grew so much in this book. I loved how she stood up to her family. (I have a soft spot for books like that.) I also loved how she took pride in being bolder. Also many blush inducing scenes... <3 A great book!

Okay I didn’t hate it. It just felt like it was too long. The first half of the book was amazing. It had everything I wanted; broody and grey main  male character , passionate and cute female main character and there were the small moments. Half way through the book it started to get so flat. I thought okay maybe the stalker will spice stuff up, but it didn’t ☹️.

Oh, how the mighty fell 😂😂 Mr. “I don’t believe in love” turning out to be the biggest simp of the series was delightful to read 😂😂 the inner dialogue was so amusing. The struggle, the denial. Absolute perfection and total golden retriever behaviour 😆😆

Ana Huang is a phenomenally talented author ✨

Honestly didn’t think the series could end any better. Nice closure for the main characters of the series and just overall for the story of this book itself.

Christian was down bad but was always respectful around Stella, never pushing himself on her and just caring for her in ways that didn’t involve money. Glad I gave the rest of the series a chance.

Sometimes Stella felt like a child, so it felt kinda weird when she was doing it with Christian. It felt like he was in love with a child. But I did really relate to her and how she experiences the world. I love Christian though.

If Ana Huang her books where a TikTok sound, it would be “everything is always connected”

Wow, wow, wow. "Twisted Lies" blew me away! Out of all the books in the series, this one is my favorite. At first, it felt a bit like "Fifty Shades of Grey" with Christian and Stella, but it quickly found its own vibe. The suspense and plot twists had me hooked, and the ending was just perfect. I seriously hope this series gets turned into a TV show—I’d binge-watch every episode!

4.75 ⭐️ Can’t believe I just finished this book T__T I felt like I went through this series with the blink of an eye and now I’m leaving them behind. I’m so not ready omg. This book literally SERVED fake dating the way I liked it + tension and slowburn <3 i am religiously in love with ana huang’s books now. I didn’t really think I’d like Christian and Stella’s story, but it gave so much more than I expected and was defijitely a great choice for ending the series. It brought me lots of comfort during the toughest times of my uni life 🫶🏻

I think this is my favorite of the 4 books. Not only were the references GOLD but also I got to see all the characters past their book endings. Like Rhys and Bridget still have their villa in Puerto Rico, Jules and Josh still bicker like they can’t stand each other, and Ava and Alex are still their polar opposite selves. It’s so cute.

Also I knew from the first book that Bridget and Stella would be my favorite characters and I was completely right. The book was well over 500 pages but I couldn’t stop reading this one.

The only reason that this isn’t a 5 star is because of my hatred for third act breakups. Only time in the book where I needed a break.

This was probably the cutest in the series mostly because of the ending. I may not be the biggest fan of this series but it’s not really the most horrible series I’ve read. I like how they all connect with each other. But anyways, the ending is super adorable. I love how we all got a glimpse of the future and how the girls are still so close even after all those years. Super cute. Stella and Christian’s romance wasn’t horrible either. But the ending is what got it a half point more than the others. It was cute.

I resented it almost as much as I resented the way he dominated the space around us, his presence pouring into every book and crevice until it was the only thing I could concentrate on.

My eyes burned as my final, greatest truth scraped up my throat. "I love you. So fucking much."

I thought saying those words for the first time would feel strange.

They didn’t.

August 12

Stella,

It's 2:30 in the morning as I write this.

I haven't slept in almost twenty-four hours.

But I couldn't go to sleep without telling you this...

I'm trying, Butterfly. I'm trying so fucking hard.

To stay away from you. To not think about you. To not love you.

My life would be so much easier if I could move on, but I know I can’t.

Even if you never forgive me.

Even if you never talk to me again.

Even if you move on.

I'll still love you.

You will always be my first, last, and only love.

"I want to make a few things clear." Christian's lips brushed mine with each word. "Touch another man, he dies. Let another man touch you, he dies. Tell me I can't touch you..." His grip tightened on the back of my neck as his voice dropped. "And I will fucking die."

Despite what I'd said about love being a drug, Stella was my greatest high.

A temptation with no escape.

An obsession with no end.

An addiction with no cure.

"It's because you haven't looked me in the eye since New York. Because you're all I can fucking think about no matter where I am or who I'm with, and the thought of you hurt or upset makes me want to raze this city to the ground." Soft, almost desperate viciousness coated his voice. "I've never wanted someone more, and I've never hated myself more for it."

"If you saw yourself the way other people see you," he said quietly, "you'd never doubt again."

Curiosity and something infinitely sweeter and more dangerous fluttered to life in my heart. "How do other people see me?"

Christian's eyes didn't leave mine.

"Like you're the most beautiful, most remarkable thing they've ever seen."

Im in a good mood, so I'll leave your hand intact." I could've stretched our session out for another hour, but it was taco night with Stella, and I needed to buy the ingredients on my way home. "But if you ever touch, look at, or so much as think about Stella again." I shoved the blade in all the way until the only remaining visible part was the handle.

I had more than work. I had a fucking mess that required immediate handling. The cold. rational part of me insisted I return to DC todav as originally planned. Staying in Hawaii was the worst decision I could make, and I hadn't built an empire by making bad decisions. But it was Stella's first time in Hawaii,

But I will always be here if you need me, no matter how far in distance or time. I don't care if we're on different continents or if it's five, fifty years in the future. I never want you to wake up and feel like you're alone because you're not. You'll always have me.

I love you. So fucking much.

"I'm not a jelous man, Stella. I have never envied someone for what they have or who they're with, and yet..." My fingers glid down her wrist. "I'm jealous of every person you smile at..." A brush over her fingers. "Every laugh I don't hear..." My touch dipped down to her knee and made a slow, languorous journey up her thigh. "Every breeze that touchesvyour skin and every sound that pours your lips. It. Is. ~Maddening~.
