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.

You think u know someone until something happens that proves you never really knew them at all.

*You broke my nose!" he spat. “You asked for it, you slut."

What condition?" Alex sounded bored. "Stickuptheassitis." I'd already called the man an asshole

Or I could be tied to a chair in a dark basement and forced to listen to Aqua's "Barbie Girl" on repeat until Id rather gnaw off my arm than hear the song's eponymous phrase again.

'’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. '

Elisa Ulliana

Avevo vissuto con i miei incubi per quasi tutta la vita e avevo trovato comunque il coraggio di sognare.

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.

Avevo la sensazione che non avrebbe battuto ciglio neanche se degli alieni in tutù argentato gli si fossero materializzati davanti e avessero iniziato a ballare la macarena.

«Tu sei la luce per la mia oscurità, Raggio di sole» 

Le fiamme sciolsero i laghi gelati dei suoi occhi finché il calore non consumò anche me.

 Most people thought the biggest sacrifce they could make was to die for something. They were wrong. The biggest sacrifce 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. You want it so much you'd say yes to anything. Believe in anyone. One more favor, one more kind gesture...and maybe, just maybe, they'll give you the love you want so desperately you'd whore yourself out for it." 

Cassie French

"If you let lesser people determine your self-worth, you'll never reach higher than their limited imagination."

That’s my girl. Hate me. Don’t cry over me. Never cry over me. I’m not worth it.

I’d labored over my revenge plan for more than a decade,

“I’d do anything for you. No matter how twisted or impossible.”

“I’ll drain every fucking lake and ocean in the world if I have to.”

“Tell me who or what I need to kill,”

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

finally getting around to reading this series. first book super cute 

Haley Bucklin

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.

Alex & ava.. loved the Plot and the Brothers Best friend topic! 

Serena Lanzafame

Incredible!!! Loved the plot and Alex, the brothers best friend trope is one of my favourites.

Jasmine Dykes

Its an amazing book but after reading the rest of the series its the least intriguing.

Lois

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.

3.5⭐️- Honestly, I was so scared to read this book and got super underwhelmed by the hype I saw on TikTok. I also didn’t expect to be a 5⭐️ book but it entertained me so I give them that. It felt like reading a Wattpad book from 2015 but because of that it made the experience so much fun and I did expect a Wattpad attitude from Alex. From his over-possessiveness, how he is a multimillionaire at 26 and how he had the whole “touch her and die” (literally) it was just… very Wattpad. But am I complaining? No. I was eating it up.

Teisted: Book 1

Twisted Love (Special Edition)

100 pages into the story they already got together. I thought to myself: oh no I will be so bored now, it will only be dramatic love talk with no story.

Boy was I wrong. It had a lot of smut, don’t get me wrong (and I loved that). But the PLOT omg it was amazing. 

Even though everything was hella fake (I mean, multimiljonair CEO/COO who could make everything happen with money and a princess of a non-existing European country). But it was so fun to read!!! The story is super interesting and I really wanted to continue reading to find out what would happen!!

Writing style was so nice and everytime I thought ‘huh’ Ana Huang made sure the reader understood correctly. 

I am just gonna ignore the fakeness and unrealism of this story and enjoy it. Can’t wait to read the next one 😌💅

Oh and btw: loved the fact that the bad boy boyfriend STAYED a bad boy, because in a lot of stories the bad boy turns out to be softie (which I also like), but the fact that he (kinda) stayed mean made it way more original imo!!

I thought this book only had smut in it.

Maybe I just hate smut in books, or this one was so much it was just boring and sooo cringey. It's decent for when you're bored as shit and wanna laugh at something with your best friend but I don't know how it can be a genuine read for some people🤷‍♀️ Ava's story is a bit sad one scene I did actually enjoy in the scene when they were in the bed together and she had a panic attack and he comforted her. I think the book had potential to be a decent read but was way too sexual and the plot and writing just kind of bland. But if you're a booktok person who can't read jackshit without kinky sex every 10 pages you'll probably love it

Alex and Ava = match made in heaven. Honestly, Ava would always accept him as long as he told the truth but he didn't want to (understandable but still f.u). Honestly, no words because the story was so well put together and it wasn't much of a slow burn as I expected it to be. The timing was right and enough for the characters to really come around.

4.5/5. It's good but something just doesn't sit right with me. Nevertheless, it's a good read.

ang 

alex volkov my #1 enemy, such a creepy, weirdo, cringe, embarrassing and sexist ass man

Sarah

GOD!!! ALEX IS KING!!! Everything in the book was perfect, the pace, The PLOT TWISTS!!!!! Must read will buy all her books at this point. Yall will definitely enjoy Alex and Ava!! Must read!

Morana 

i was about to give this a 3.75 star but i'm satisfied about the ending. i love the story but i have a love-hate relationship towards alex and ava. but all in all, its a good book! i will def read the whole series!!

I loved this book so much, i completly got dragged in to the story and fell in love with the charters.

I made it 60% of the way through before I had to DNF. This was baaaaaad yah’ll. I’m sorry. Alex needs helppp. And what the eff were those storylines? It was a firm, hard no.

This book has so many amazing tropes! 
🔥brothers best friend 
🔥grumpy/sunshine
🔥I hate everyone but you 
🔥touch her and I’ll kill you 
And I’m obsessed.

There is so much drama and mystery from the start and it was darker than I expected but I loved it. The twists later in the book really shocked me. There was so much happening at once, I couldn’t cope🤣 This book also gave me serious mafia vibes which I’m obsessed with. And the spice was everything!🔥

The chemistry between these characters was insane. They both had traumatic childhoods and really helped each other overcome their trauma. I really enjoyed the dual pov. Ava was pure sunshine and was really sweet. I really liked her friend group too!

Alex was broody and mysterious from the beginning which I loved! However, he felt a bit too perfect for me. Don’t get me wrong, I loved him so much, but some things just felt too unbelievable at times. I’m still obsessed with him though! If only real men were like this🤣 

The ending made me so excited for the next book in the series and I have an arc for it which I can’t wait to read!
