Twisted Games Twisted: Book 2

Ana Huang2021
She can never be his…but he’s taking her anyway. Stoic, broody, and arrogant, elite bodyguard Rhys Larsen has two rules: 1) Protect his clients at all costs 2) Do not become emotionally involved. Ever. He has never once been tempted to break those rules…until her. Bridget von Ascheberg. A princess with a stubborn streak that matches his own and a hidden fire that reduces his rules to ash. She’s nothing he expected and everything he never knew he needed. Day by day, inch by inch, she breaks down his defenses until he’s faced with a truth he can no longer deny: he swore an oath to protect her, but all he wants is to ruin her. Take her. Because she’s his. His princess. His forbidden fruit. His every depraved fantasy. *** Regal, strong-willed, and bound by the chains of duty, Princess Bridget dreams of the freedom to live and love as she chooses. But when her brother abdicates, she’s suddenly faced with the prospect of a loveless, politically expedient marriage and a throne she never wanted. And as she navigates the intricacies—and treacheries—of her new role, she must also hide her desire for a man she can’t have. Her bodyguard. Her protector. Her ultimate ruin. Unexpected and forbidden, theirs is a love that could destroy a kingdom…and doom them both. Twisted Games is a contemporary royal bodyguard romance. It’s book two of the Twisted series but can be read as a standalone. Warning: This book contains a possessive alpha hero, explicit sexual content, and profanity.

I loved this one so much to the point that I want to let it marinate in my brain first before moving to the next book of this series. It was a satisfying read, Bridget and Rhys are just so adorable and they deserve everything in the world.

I could feel their obsession for each other for every page, and the pining phase was amazing!

I have zero regrets reading Twisted Games and it lived up to my expectations! This is my first 5-star book for the year! (also I have a huge crush on Rhys Larsen, who doesn’t)

I can’t lie, this one was quite good also. It’s one of those books that makes you wanna read instead of scroll on your phone, and isn’t that everyone you basically need in a book?

I loved Rhys and I loved Bridget. Bridget is a great female main character, with just the perfect amount of personality that doesn’t make it seem overly forced, and Rhys is a great male main character, who is also just as perfect, with enough background to make their relationship emotional.

Towards the end, at her coronation, their wedding ect, I was really really emotional for some reason, it just felt nice seeing they got through everything in the end. It was also very nice to see Rhys as a mature male main character, that he didn’t dwell on Bridget deciding to end their relationship, which honestly I expexcted him to give her the run around, so it was quite refreshing.

Again a lot of… scenes so I did have to skip many chapters… probably half the reason it’s only four stars. Also, it didn’t have that five star feel, but was still really good.

Someone call up Rhys Larsen for me because I’d abdicate a throne for him and so much more 😋

No but honestly, his and Bridget’s relationship was sooo good. Feed me more tension, possessiveness, and forbidden love any time, and I’ll lick the plate clean.

The story itself was just so uninteresting. The characters felt boring to me. I thought it would be better than the first one but I feel like it got worse. I’m still finish the series.

I was surprised on how much better this second book was to the first. To me it almost feels like a redo to the first one, similar tough and possessive guy falling for a sunshine of a person when they’re not suppose to, yet done better.

This book was great!!! I put it off for so long and I can’t believe I did. Rhys and Bridget were always going to be endgame, it just took a lot of battles to overcome but it was well worth it in the end. Rhys deserved to be loved after his past and Bridget loved him with her entire heart and he loved her with his entire heart. The things he would do for her from very early on in the book showed he cared for her even if he didn’t realise himself. Playing his actions off as “because it’s my job” was never fooling anyone, he did what he did because he loves her!!! 🫶🫶 Forbidden romance between a princess and her bodyguard… Ana Huang hit all the marks with this book. “Someone once told me we always end up where we’re meant to be, and this is where I’m meant to be. With you”- Rhys Larsen one of the best men ever 🫶🫶

I liked this more than I expected. Definitely better than the first instalment in the series. The writing is gripping and compelling. Ana Huang is really talented. I’ve enjoyed reading the series so far, and I look forward to reading more of her work. I enjoyed the twist in the book even though I guessed it 😂😂 and all the banter between characters made me laugh. Reading this book made me realise, I am still a cynic at the end of the day but it was great fun reading this book 😂

Not as exiting as book one and waaayyyy more sex, but still liked it.

I loved Bridget and Rhys more than Alex and Ava though, but it was less page turning.

Still a guilty pleasure.

Also way more predictable

Bridget and Rhys’ story was perfect. One of the standout aspects of this book is how it differs from the first in the series. Instead of focusing on endless steamy scenes, it delves deeper into Bridget's royal world and the genuine love between the characters. The writing was beautiful, and I truly enjoyed getting to know both their backgrounds and their growing relationship.

I never believed in love. Never wanted it. I didn't see the practical value and, to be honest, I was doing just fine without you. But then I met you. Your smile, your strenght, your intelligence and compassion. Even your stubbornness and hardheadedness. You filled a part of my soul I always thought would be empty, and you healed scars I never knew existed. And I realized... it's not that I didn't believe in love before. It's that I was saving it all for you.

„In Costa Rica, you asked if I’d ever been in love. I said no.“ I lowered my head until our foreheads touched and her lips were scant inches from mine.

„Ask me again.“ It was the same request I’d made at the hospital, but this time Bridget didn’t break our gaze as she asked,

„Have you ever been on love, Mr. Larsen?“

„Only once.“ I slid my hand up from her neck to the back of her head, cupping it.

„And you, princess. Have you ever been in love?“

„Only once,“ she whispered.

Apparently, Rhys had never heard of matching someone's energy. I was trying to be lighthearted, and he was more serious than a heart attack.
