Ana Huang

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+

Twisted: Book 4

Twisted Lies

Gina-Sophie Franz

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.

Anita

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. 

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

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. 

"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?" 

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

Alice Perelta

 In a perverse way, my kidnapping had reset our relationship for the better. Nothing provided clarity like almost dying,

You'll always have me." My eyes burned as my final, greatest truth scraped up my throat. "I love you. So fucking much."

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,

ALEX!!!!! It's sooooo cute he gave his daughter the same nickname as he has for Ava. My heart just melted...

Pharrèl Nadia Frieswijk

Oh my... seeing Christian open up like that... and knowing it's such a big deal to him to say he loves someone.

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. 

Careful how you finish that sentence Harper. 

What. The. Fuck. Christian. Wow I sort of did not see that coming but at the same I did? This 'conversation' had me reading with my mouth open lol. Shocked. 

Almost cried because of the way Christian talks about Stella. 

Drop your arms for me, sweetheart. I want to see you. 

It was the closest I ever came to begging. 

Some photo's were worth a thousand words. This photo said only one.

There you go Christian, can't wait for you to fall completely for herrrrr

Green eyes. Green dress. Symbolic of life and nature.

Apparently, it was my new favorite fucking color.

"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~.

Because love is ordinary. Mundane. And you, Stella…

Amanda Autumn Berrey

I needed to find the best obstetrician in the country ASAP, plus redo the penthouse (which was currently as nonchildproof as it could get), take Stella shopping for maternity clothes, book a babymoon…

“You better take care of Ava,” Josh was now saying. “If anything happens to her, if she gets eaten by a wild animal or anything like that, I will hunt you down and use a scalpel in ways that are not approved by the medical board.”

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!

** spoiler alert **
           Loved it but honestly the stalker thing could have been taken toward another level and I think there was more potential with the book and plot.

. Stella was my favorite character because of the journey she goes through with her family and learning how to stand up for herself with people who she feels like don’t think she’s good enough. I also loved that she was going after her dreams despite what her family thought of them. There’s a lot to Stella’s character that is relatable. I liked Christian for the most part. He was too brooding and intense at some points in the story. I thought the character development he went through during the story was pretty good too though. There was a lot of him to work through regarding his family, which rounded out his character. 

I thought the twists in the plot were good. Although I wish that the stalker had been someone a bit more shocking. I didn’t remember who the character was during the reveal. The way the reveal was written, it seemed like we weren’t expected to remember, but it would’ve been all that more shocking if we knew the character and didn’t suspect them. 

I also thought this one dragged out a bit. The first half of the book was kind of boring, and I found myself not wanting to pick it up. I was glad we got to see the happy endings for the other couples too though.

My heart is heavy. Beautiful book. I hope with every inch of my swelled heart that we get to see these beautiful characters again, with their beautiful marriages and children❤️

This book made me crack up so many times. Its so funny and so sweet. Christian is so in love with Stella before they even actually talked to each other. This is my favourite book from the series. Loved it.

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 🫶🏻

the twisted series is over but i want to say i love christian and stella so much! this series was so good and i was on the edge of my seat every second. Thank you Ana for creating this wonderful group of characters.

This book … wow it was amazing i feel like it was a sliw burn compared to the rest of the series. But when it got going it went!! I love the fact that the epilogue wrapped up all the couples and it was amazing. Can’t wait to read the king of sin series ❤️

I finished this masterpiece what do I do without these characters 😭 breath eat and sleep like normal?? What the heck man😭  this was so good that my heart hurts

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.

OH MY. This book. The end is so sweet and I just melted. It's not just about Stella and Christian but the end has Ava, Bridget, Jules and Stella with their man. The end just had me smiling. The book is so good I love Christian so much for having such a sweet spot for Stella. The problems are interesting and I just wanted to keep reading till the problems were solved. The book contained a lot less sexy time than the other books, but the building tension between the 2 made is so worth it. I love how their relationship developed and how it ended. Very very good book and certainly one of my favorites of the series!! I loved it more than twisted love and twisted games. But I think I love it even with twisted hate. Buttttttt, very much recommend it!! 

I loved the mmc but the storyline was a bit disappointing and I had to force myself to finish it. Because I easily got bored and it was too long for my taste. It was the worst one in the series and I liked the other three way more.

Tropes: fake dating, touch her and die, forced proximity, slow burn (I know, I know but it’s not too bad of a wait!)

The perfect end to the twisted series! I love the element of suspense Ana added to all the books in this series and I’m looking forward to reading the Kings of Sins series
