Book Review:
Ana Huang delivers another addictive hit with ''Twisted Games,'' the second installment in her Twisted series. This book is the epitome of a forbidden, slow-burn romance that fans of the genre crave. The story revolves around the stern, ultra-protective bodyguard Rhys and the vibrant, duty-bound Princess Bridget. Huang excels at building palpable tension—every glance and accidental touch is charged with electricity. The ''bodyguard/charge'' trope is executed perfectly here, blending protective instincts with simmering desire.

The characters are well-drawn; Bridget struggles with the weight of her royal destiny, while Rhys battles his own demons and the strict code of ethics that forbids him from wanting his princess. Their journey from professional distance to explosive passion is satisfying and filled with emotional moments. While it follows popular romance formulas, Huang's engaging writing and the specific dynamic between the leads make it a standout. It's spicy, emotional, and utterly captivating. If you enjoy romance novels with strong, brooding heroes, intelligent heroines, and a hefty dose of angst and steam, ''Twisted Games'' is a must-read. It can be enjoyed as a standalone but is richer as part of the series.
