Twisted Love Twisted: Book 1

Ana Huang2021
He has a heart of ice . . . but for her, he'd burn the world. Alex Volkov is a devil blessed with the face of an angel and cursed with a past he can't escape. Driven by a tragedy that has haunted him for most of his life, his ruthless pursuits for success and vengeance leave little room for matters of the heart. But when he's forced to look after his best friend's sister, he starts to feel something in his chest: A crack. A melt. A fire that could end his world as he knew it. *** Ava Chen is a free spirit trapped by nightmares of a childhood she can't remember. But despite her broken past, she's never stopped seeing the beauty in the world . . . including the heart beneath the icy exterior of a man she shouldn't want. Her brother's best friend. Her neighbour. Her saviour and her downfall. Theirs is a love that was never supposed to happen - but when it does, it unleashes secrets that could destroy them both . . . and everything they hold dear.

it was kind of a wattpad type of book but better… it earned lots of giggles and screams from me— not internal screams btw I literally SCREAMED at many parts. I genuinely enjoyed it, and this was also the first book I finished ever since I graduated from uni hahaha confident to say, I think this is my reading era come back!

I listened to this as an audiobook for my recent trip- first time trying audiobook and I didn’t really like it. Nonetheless I finished the audiobook and the story was alright but probably would have had more of an impact on me if I had read it instead of listened.

Who pulls an 8 year con to revenge his family and then it’s not even the right guy. Also he should have gone after her sooner so she didn’t have to suffer so long if he knew he was going to try and get her back. Dumb

If you can bypass toxic couples and toxic men then you might be able to enjoy this book. Alex was incredibly toxic and just gave me the ick consonantly. Ava was an enjoyable character and I admired that she was able to fight back and that Alex didn't fight all of her battles for her.

Overall this book is full of toxicity within relationships and families. The family story lines were interesting and is what mainly kept me reading.

Silly and fanfic-esque, but some reveals did shock me and I listened to the whole thing soooo. Maybe I’m the problem.

Read this just to have my own opinion on everyone’s dislike for this book. It wasn’t necessarily bad but it made me feel like I was reading fanfiction on wattpad, and not just in terms of plot but the way their POV’s were written.

I hated how everyone treated Ava like a child who can’t think for herself, and the brother looking for someone to watch over her just irritated me but anything for the plot.

Still plan on reading the rest of the series tho

Great romance for me to fill in this really odd book slump in. A lot of spicy scenes in this… just skip them if you’re not a spicy girly like me because the romance in this book is definatly worth skipping like four chapters worth of smut… Bit questionable but okay.

The romance genre stays corny as ever, but this was a good read. Compelling writing. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

I loved this book! I thought I might figured out the ending but it still took a surprising twist that I did not expect.

I also enjoyed the character development so much. If you’re into spicy romance then this is a must read.

i liked it but there were some moments that made me incredibly embarrassed, and, yes, i mean especially when alex started to sing. the cringe i felt then was next level. but i enjoyed it tho. it took me some time to get used to the writing style. i think there is too little description and everything happens too fast. the characters moved from one feeling to another far too quickly. i hope i will like the second book in the series more.

You told me once there was something beautiful waiting for me, something that'll restore my faith in life. I've found it. It's you.

I never claimed to be Prince Charming, and my love isn't a fairy tale type of love. I'm a fucked up person with fucked up morals. I won't write you poems or serenade you beneath the moonlight. But you are the onl woman I have eyes for. Your enemies are enemies, your friends are my friends, and if you wanted, I would burn down the world for you.

I love this man

"Tell me who or what I need to kill," I growled. "What happened at your father's house?"

"I told you, nothing. It was just the lake."

Ava eked out a wobbly smile. "You can't kill a lake."

"I'll drain every fucking lake and ocean in world if I have to."

'’Love.” The word floated between us on a soft gust of air. “Deep, abiding, unconditional love. You want it so much you’re willing to live for it.” Most people thought the biggest sacrifice they could make was to die for something. They were wrong. The biggest sacrifice someone could make was to live for something—to allow it to consume you and turn you into a version of yourself you didn’t recognize. Death was oblivion; life was reality, the harshest truth that had ever existed. '

Prima di conoscerla non pensavo di avere un cuore, invece lei mi aveva dimostrato il contrario... ora, però, quel cuore giaceva a pezzi ai suoi piedi.
