This is the second book in the Twisted series. It is a dual point of view between Bridget and Rhys. Bridget is a princess and she has recently hired a new bodyguard Rhys. There is an undeniable connection between the two but when Bridget’s brother abdicates, she’s suddenly faced with the prospect of a loveless, politically expedient marriage and a throne she never wanted.

I really enjoyed this book but I felt like something was missing and I can’t quite figure out what that is. I think it is because we only really got a plot in the last fifty pages. The rest of the book was just Bridget and Rhys making moon eyes at each other. Also, I did not like how they started disliking each other but not even thirty pages later they liked each other which was annoying because I was hoping for angst. I think I also had a hard time with all the time jumps, it made me sad to think of all the content we missed in that time.

Throughout this book, I was trying to keep up with Ava and Alex’s story in Twisted Love and try to keep up with the timeline of this series, which was hard as I read the first book at the beginning of this year.

I liked Bridget’s character the most, I enjoyed how relatable her character was despite her being a princess and everything. I liked how she never made stupid decisions which made me want to throw the book across the room. I had that with Ava in Twisted Love but Bridgette was a cool character.

I didn’t love Rhys, he was your typical straight-out-of-a-romance novel character, he was a strong alpha male with trauma, so…gross. I didn’t like that the only time we ever found out any sort of information about him it was somehow about his trauma. Like, give me more than that, please. However, I have read worse characters not to name and shame any but cough cough, Alex Volkov.

Overall this book was a solid four stars and I do look forward to reading the next book in the series.
