Let’s dive into Twisted Games—the book that made me wish I were a princess with a bodyguard dilemma. If Twisted Love was about emotional turmoil and forbidden tension, Twisted Games amplifies that with actual royalty and a brooding man who seems allergic to feelings.
This story follows Bridget, a modern princess who is laid-back but secretly weary of royal expectations, and Rhys, her bodyguard, who is tall, quiet, and dangerously appealing. He’s all about rules and discipline… until he isn’t.
What I Loved:
- The slow burn was incredibly satisfying. I even found myself screaming at my Kindle!
- Rhys embodies the “touch her and die” trope. If you enjoy protective love interests who act indifferent but would do anything for her, he’s the perfect match.
- Bridget truly develops in this book. She’s not just a passive royal—she has ambition and a strong will.
- The stakes felt much higher. It wasn’t just about romance; it involved duty, power, and public image, which added intensity to the narrative.
What Kind of Drove Me Crazy:
- Rhys’s stubborn “we can’t” attitude was frustrating. Come on, I know you want to!
- There were moments where I felt the plot could have moved more swiftly, particularly in the middle.
- Some aspects of royal politics felt a bit unrealistic, but honestly, I didn’t mind too much—I was here for the tension and the yearning.
📚Final Thoughts:
This book gave me the vibes of forbidden romance, royal fantasy, and “we’re not supposed to want each other, but we do anyway.” It’s spicier, deeper, and perhaps even more emotionally fulfilling than Twisted Love (yes, I said it!). If you enjoy the bodyguard and princess trope and want to feel like you’re sneaking around a palace for love, this book delivers.
