Romance novels always seemed predictable to me—same old patterns, same outcomes. But I was so wrong. Reading romance isn’t just about the story or guessing the ending; it’s about the power of the words the author chooses. Those words wrapped around my heart and warmed it in ways I never expected. Let me introduce you to the author who changed it all for me—Ana Huang, the brilliant mind behind the ‘Twisted’ Series.
Trust me, with each book, it only gets better. If you’re ready for a rollercoaster of emotions, you’ve found the right author!
Twisted Love
Twisted Love by Ana Huang is a contemporary romance novel that is part of the “Twisted” series. The story follows the intense and complicated relationship between Ava Chen, a warm-hearted and free-spirited young woman, and Alex Volkov, a cold and brooding billionaire with a dark past. When Ava’s brother, who is Alex’s best friend, asks Alex to watch over her while he is away, the two are thrown together, and their connection grows despite their vastly different personalities.
The novel delves into themes of love, betrayal, and redemption, with a mix of steamy romance and emotional depth. While some readers may appreciate the tension and chemistry between the characters, others might find the story predictable or the characters’ behavior problematic. Overall, Twisted Love is a gripping read for fans of intense, dramatic romance with a touch of darkness.
Twisted Games
My second favourite book in the series is Twisted Games. This story centers on Princess Bridget von Ascheberg, who is thrust into the role of heir to the throne after her brother abdicates. Alongside her is Rhys Larsen, her fiercely protective and stoic bodyguard. The novel explores the forbidden romance that blossoms between them, set against the backdrop of royal duties and the pressures of public life.
The book combines elements of a bodyguard romance with royal intrigue, offering readers a mix of steamy scenes, emotional moments, and plot twists. The dynamic between Bridget and Rhys is intense, with their slow-burn romance capturing the push and pull of their complex feelings. While the story leans heavily into romance tropes, it also touches on themes of duty, sacrifice, and finding one’s true self. Twisted Games is likely to appeal to readers who enjoy protective heroes, strong heroines, and the thrill of a love that defies societal expectations.
Twisted Hate
Twisted Hate, the third book in the “Twisted” series, centers on the enemies-to-lovers relationship between Jules Ambrose, a confident and sharp-tongued lawyer-in-training, and Dr. Josh Chen, a charming and ambitious doctor who also happens to be Jules’ best friend’s brother. The two have a history of mutual dislike, but as they’re forced to spend more time together, their animosity transforms into a fiery, passionate romance.
The novel is packed with tension, witty banter, and intense chemistry between the main characters. It explores themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the complexity of human relationships. Fans of the enemies-to-lovers trope will appreciate the slow-burn romance and the gradual reveal of deeper emotions beneath the surface hostility. However, some readers might find the characters’ conflicts and actions frustrating at times. Overall, Twisted Hate is a compelling read for those who enjoy intense, drama-filled romances with strong, complex characters.
Twisted Lies
Twisted Lies, my favourite book from the series and final book in the “Twisted” series, revolves around the relationship between Stella Alonso, a social media influencer, and Christian Harper, a mysterious and powerful CEO with a dark past. The story is a slow-burn romance where the lines between pretence and reality blur as they enter into a fake relationship to serve their own purposes, only to find their feelings growing more genuine and complicated.
This novel combines elements of suspense, romance, and psychological depth, exploring themes of trust, vulnerability, and the masks people wear. Christian’s enigmatic nature and Stella’s inner struggles create a captivating dynamic that keeps readers engaged. The book offers a mix of steamy romance and emotional complexity, with a plot that ties together the overarching themes of the series. Twisted Lies provides a satisfying conclusion to the “Twisted” series, particularly for those who enjoy romances with a darker edge and layered characters.
