Twisted Lies by Ana Huang
Publication Date: June 30, 2022
Plot: 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.
MY THOUGHTS:
I honestly don’t even know where to start with this review. This book was PERFECTION from beginning to end. Twisted Games was my absolute favorite book up until this point, but MY GOSH the slow burn on this one just made it my number one.
Christian + Stella are IT. I thought I loved the other Twisted men, but I just hadn’t met Christian Harper yet. Sorry Rhys, this girl is now a Christian stan! Stella was such a relatable character in the way that she struggled with her anxiety, and watching her grow and gain confidence to speak up for herself made me so proud to be on her side. I loved how real she was. Stella is MY GIRL. Catch anybody saying anything negative about her, I’ll fight! And Christian - I have NO words. The way he cared for Stella while also being possessive and demanding 🔥🔥 A billionaire CEO that treats his woman like a queen?! I was gone from the first page.
All of my favorite tropes were in this book - fake dating, roommates, the list goes on!! The chemistry and slow burn had me on the edge of my seat! Christian + Stella’s relationship is sexy, intoxicating, + inspiring in how he supports her no matter what.
Now, let’s talk about this Epilogue. It was such a beautiful ending to our core 4 and their love stories. Seeing Stella, Jules, Bridget + Ava happy with their families was so beautiful. I was crying reading it, I was so happy 😭 Such a bittersweet ending. This book is a work of ART. The Twisted series has officially become a comfort series for me, so catch me reading these over and over again.
