Arran died LOLL ok I guess this is gonna be common isn’t it? Anyways i haven’t read in like a month (schoolwork) so im updating as I remember stuff. I like the thing with the little kid and the lid staying behind in the store, they seem like really interesting storylines. If that kid cycling died I’m gonna be SO PEEVED THO! He better be like last one standing yk like only survivor he deserves it.

so yeah, second book wayyy better! This one lowkey ass imo (in terms of the romance and dynamics) but it sets up the other books so I don’t mind it too much. If I didn’t read the epilogue and go “ooh bodyguard x princess dynamic?!” then I literally would not have continued the series.

anyways Alex sucks, and I don’t remember much about Ava. I don’t think I was too annoyed by her actions except that pool scene. I don’t remember much else about that. The story itself was okay. OH! But the miscommunication trope near the end pissed me off and lowkey made me hate Alex SO MUCH. I like that Rhys fought for Bridget (in a reciprocated way)

btw possessiveness is a bit more ok for the second book, because CONTEXT MATTERS GUYS! He is a BODYGUARD. It was his JOB. And after that it was literally because ppl were flirting with his girl he was officially with- official as in between the two of them- so he kinda had more of a right. Yk? Like a bit OTT sometimes but Bridget never actually had a problem with it (except when she was drunk) whereas Ava often did

In short: insufferable rich attitude of Alex (briefly touched on) + his possessiveness that Ava hates and reprimands him for and is just overall creepy

I sent probably hundreds of videos and audios of me on the brink of tears because this book was stressing SO MUCH. Like so much stupid shit so I would rant to my friends about it and how much I hated this book and couldn’t wait for it to be over (tears in my eyes, voice cracking)

Writing this four months later, after the fact! I just read the second book and thought “maybe I just hate the book now bc I prefer the second one so much more,” so I returned to read my updates! Alas, no, I seemed to not enjoy it towards the middle or end. In fact, I HARDLY updated on this one and I do in fact vividly remember why.

so yeah, like a solid 8/10 and I probably would read it again! I love these two, actually.

but yeah 100% prefer this book and just preferred the princess x bodyguard dynamic anyways to a simple grumpy x sunshine rich CEO type deal (I do love grumpy x sunshine though, it’s just the rich CEO dynamic thing I URGHH go back and read my other updates on Twisted Love)

Sexual tension btw, i was talking about sexual tension. Still very invested in the relationship and loved it the WHOLE TIME!! yet again not really a point I thought “oh there is such an easy fix” or “oh my gods just communicate” ykwim? Rhys is also just way more likeable as a ML, which is odd because he has similarish traits to Alex who I lowkey despise.

I feel like they could’ve had sex a lot less, like the author only expresses their love for each other through sex bc once they have it once (properly) they have it SO OFTEN and there’s no longer that same tension and stuff because they become careless and just fuck everywhere

anyways this was way better than the first and I actually enjoyed a romance book the first time in my life?? I was REALLY invested in their relationship tbh so this was a cool change

I loved the ending I didn’t get pissed off by either Bridget or Rhys at any point actually (Ava and Alex PMO A LOT.) There was also less sex (phew) and the tension felt more built up / genuine for me? Idk how to explain it like it was more satisfying

anyways I kinda prefer this book the dynamic is WAY CUTER and Rhys is a way better guy

for a second I litro thought they were cousins btw

Wait whys the writing kinda bad..? Kinda rushed. Especially the romance like damn Arran this is sudden.

Finally picking up reading this again haha kinda did a bunch of schoolwork (also I did read a bit I just didn’t record it for some reason??)

34

I need to read this so bad bro I really wanna but English lit GCSE got me tweaking

Also I looked at the end of the book to see how many pages it had and noticed the next book is about Bridget!! THE PRINCESS!! Dude bc I’m borrowing these books I MIGHT read the next one bc that’s gotta be a good dynamic surely. A princess and a commoner I assume? Idk I didn’t read the summary. Anyways, sounds awesome, if this one doesn’t pmo too much I’m deffo borrowing the next in the series!!

I literally can’t read anymore today I’m like..I’m still in a reading mood just not for this book. I’m kinda over it rn SO MUCH SEX THESE LAST CHAPTERS BTW like insane amounts. Like guys calm down pls I know ur excited.
