From New York Times bestselling author and BookTok sensation Ana Huang comes a billionaire brother’s best friend romance!

He has a heart of ice…but for her, he’d burn the world

A diverse new adult steamy romance from Tiktok sensation and USA Today bestselling author Ana Huang.

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 neighbor.

Her savior 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.

Twisted Love is a contemporary brother’s best friend/grumpy sunshine romance. It’s book one in the Twisted series but can be read as a standalone.

Stoic, broody, bodyguard Rhys Larsen has two rules: Protect his clients at all costs & do not become emotionally involved. Ever. He has never once been tempted to break those rules…until Princess Bridget. Josh Chen is a hot shot med student able to charm just about anyone…except fiery Jules Ambrose. The beautiful redhead has been a thorn in his side since they met, but she also consumes his thoughts in a way no woman ever has… Stella Alonso is a romantic who has no time for a relationship. But when a threat from her past drives her into the arms—and home—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

    Typical Billionaire Romance – Until the Twist
    I started this book after seeing it rise in popularity. The beginning felt very much like a typical billionaire romance, with lots of usual tropes (grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, possessive alpha male), but once the subplot really develops and twists, I get the appeal.The smut was mid. A little too unrealistic, even for a romance (who can seriously orgasm that many times?).The hero is a little too alpha and a little too possessive for me, but I could see someone being into it. The heroine is refreshing and her reaction to events towards 90% felt realistic.Overall, I recommend for your TBR pile.

    Perfect mix of revenge, love and discoveries
    First and foremost, I truly enjoyed this reading. I’m one of those readers who sometimes need some incentive to go back to reading, and Twisted Love helped. I’m also a HUGE fan of romance and cliches, so all these cute and protective moments Alex and Ava lived were gas to my fire.**Now, let’s discuss the plot and characters.**You’d think that because Ava went through much trauma, she’d be really smart to read between the lines. WRONG! Ava is blind, and it can become annoying at a certain point. She’s a nice person, but sometimes I’d really wonder if she would be able to make it out in the world by herself, without anyone keeping an eye on her. (But I promise I liked her.) 🩷Regarding Alex, a man’s only personality trait is his money. Every – and I mean it – every chapter he loves talking about how much money he pays people to do unthinkable things and how powerful Archer Group is, and how smart and how high his IQ is. Like, okay, Alex, what else do you bring to the table besides money? 🦗🦗 (cue the crickets.)As opposed to what some people say, Alex is exactly what a grumpy person would be in THIS situation. We must remember that he felt something during his vivid flashbacks, especially with his family. He didn’t choose to be the way he is. He was forced to become it instead of being prey and living an empty life with no purpose. **Alex has been fighting his demons since day one.**While I love the time Alex and Ava spent together and the discoveries they made about themselves, **they were not meant for each other**. It’s not even “right person, wrong time.” Both have way different approaches to life, and in the long run, their supposedly match will simply fade. They’ll eventually fall into a routine and not act as a couple full of love. I love them, but again, they don’t belong together.They lacked boundaries and didn’t seem interested in getting to know each other better. It looked like a high-school couple. They think they know everything, yet they aren’t aware of anything. Ever. Ava backs up my opinion by calling herself a teenager on page 277.Everything could’ve been better if they had communicated, and Alex allowed himself to be vulnerable after all the chaos had gone down. He killed the people he wanted to get his revenge. He didn’t have anything else to lose. But no, the man HAD to act like a complete jerk and still be evil.I truly wished that when Ava went to London, she’d move on regardless of whether Alex went after her or not. I wish she’d focus 100% in her passion – photography – and understanding that her loving heart didn’t call for romantic love, but for other types as well like her art. For once, I wished a book would end with both MCs following their individual paths and lives, only keeping each other in their memories.And yes, he sings, but it’s not cringe. The whole singing plot is backed up by the earlier chapters when Ava asked him to sing as her birthday present and Alex said that singing is something that shows lots of emotions and vulnerability, hence why he didn’t want to do it. However, when he sings in THAT book chapter, you understand how far he’s come to act like that. I enjoyed his small character development.⭐️ 4.5/5

    This man is the KING OF GROVELING
    1st read: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars2nd read: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 starsAlex Volkov is an underrated twisted MMC, and no can change my mind. This man is the KING OF GROVELING. He bought her a new phone because she didn’t text him in a week 😭😭. He bought a $40,000 art piece so she’d get the commission. He helped her get over her fear of water. He gave her up willingly because we hadn’t feel worthy of her. He moved to another country without hesitation to be with Ava once he found out she was leaving. He resigned his CEO position to follow her to London, despite the fact he’s been working for that position his entire life. He groveled for AN ENTIRE YEAR. He bought her entire art collection. He sang for her even though he previously refused to sing because it made him too vulnerable to his emotions. Like come on. He’s AMAZING. He used to be as cold as ice, and only had his eyes set on revenge, until he met HER. She brought light into his life 😭😭. She helped him smile, laugh, make jokes, and helped with his insomnia. And then if you’ve read the next three books, you KNOW he gets better in each book even through the brief scenes we see of him and Ava.If I could change one thing, it would be more in depth scenes of their time together. I needed to their dates, the swimming lessons, etc rather than a brief description. Like the epilogue and bonus scene was PERFECT. We needed more of those kind of scenes.Favorite quotes/scenes:“Do you ever smile? It might help with your condition.”“What condition?”“Stickuptheassitis.”“No. The condition is chronic.”“Just take the damn cookies. You can eat them, throw them out, feed them to your pet snake Nagini, whatever.”“Did you just compare me to Voldemort?”“What? No!” Maybe.“Ooh, yes! Spnk me, master!”“I am not your master. Go away.”“She was mine. She just didn’t know it yet. I hadn’t known it myself until I saw her in Colton’s arms and every instinct raged at me to tear her away. To claim what belonged to me.”“Your current phone is clearly broken, since I haven’t received so much as a text from you in the past five days.”“Alex, the piece costs $ 40,000.”“Really? Sht.”“I’m sure we can—”“I thought it was expensive.”“I wanted every shadow of his soul and every piece of his beautiful, multilayered heart. I wanted to pour into him every drop of light I had to give until he consumed me whole. Until I was his and he was mine.”“What did I tell you? You’re mine, Sunshine. You’re never touching another man unless you want him six feet in the ground. So yes, we’re fing exclusive.”“You want to fk, we fk. You want to date, we date. You want to call me your boyfriend, I’ll call you my girlfriend.”“Tell me who or what I need to kll. What happened at your father’s house?”“I told you, nothing. It was just the lake. You can’t kll a lake.”“I’ll drain every fing lake and ocean in the world if I have to.”“I’m not an easy person to love.”“Good thing I never cared much about taking the easy road. You are cold and infuriating and, I admit, a little scary. But you are also patient and supportive and brilliant. You inspire me to chase my dreams and drive away my nightmares. You are everything I didn’t know I needed, and you make me feel safer than anyone else on the planet. What I’m trying to say—again—is, I love you, Alex Volkov. Every part of you, even the parts I want to slap.”“You are the light to my dark, Sunshine. Without you, I’m lost.”“I wanted to keep her here, safe and cherished, forever. Fk the rest of the world. It could burn for all I cared.”“That’s my girl. Hate me. Don’t cry over me. Never cry over me. I’m not worth it.” 😭😭“Because I love her! There, happy? I love her so much I would rather give her up than hurt her. But if you think I’m letting her go to another country alone, with no protection, you’ve got another think coming. Now give me her fing flight info.”“You told me once there was something beautiful waiting for me, something that would restore my faith in life. I’ve found it. It’s you.”“Leave me alone.”“I can’t do that, sweetheart. I’ll wait however long it takes, but I’ll never be okay with a world in which you’re alone.”“I never claimed to be Prince Charming, and my love isn’t a fairy-tale type of love. I’m a fed-up person with fed-up morals. I won’t write you poems or serenade you beneath the moonlight. But you are the only woman I have eyes for. Your enemies are my enemies, your friends are my friends, and if you wanted, I would burn down the world for you.”“I resigned as CEO, effective one month ago.”“What?”“I couldn’t stay on as CEO while spending all my time in London with you, so I resigned.”“You know there’s no getting rid of me now.”“That wouldn’t have happened anyway.”“Now you’re getting it.”“Alex?”“Yes, Sunshine?”“I love you.”“I love you too.”

    Allora io partirei col dire che per me un libro è bello e deve essere tale, se non è rovinato anche dall’esterno.E posso dire che Amazon su questo ci ha azzeccato. Non è arrivato né rovinato, né sporco. Niente di niente. Adoro !

    Amazing book and was beautifully written, I loved the character and love story development.Tropes:💛brothers best friend💛enemy’s to lovers💛sunshine x grumpyWithin the first chapter it was love at first sight. I could not get enough of this book. I sometimes find it hard to finish books fast or at all however I read all 344 pages in 3 days! I could not put this book down. I also loved how there was plenty of spice and that it didn’t jump straight into the spice too fast which made it so much better and don’t worry it’s 100% worth waiting. Also may I say THE PLOT got me on the edge of my seat. A heartless billionaire who is asked to look after his best friends sister while he’s is away for work (can I just say this guy even though he’s ‘heartless’ is is SO protective). And they fall in love no matter how much the try to resist it. They both have deep childhood trauma that gets revealed slowly and it keeps you invested and unable to put the book down.I really need an Alex volkov in my life!I could not recommend this book enough and I can’t wait to read the next one!
