He has a heart of ice...but for her, he'd burn the world.

Alex Volkov is a devil blessed with the face of an angel and cursed with a past he can’t escape.

Driven by a tragedy that has haunted him for most of his life, his ruthless pursuits for success and vengeance leave little room for matters of the heart.

A crack.
A melt.
A fire that could end his world as he knew it.

***

Ava Chen is a free spirit trapped by nightmares of a childhood she can’t remember.

But despite her broken past, she’s never stopped seeing the beauty in the world…including the heart beneath the icy exterior of a man she shouldn’t want.

Her brother’s best friend.
Her neighbor.
Her savior and her downfall.

Theirs is a love that was never supposed to happen—but when it does, it unleashes secrets that could destroy them both…and everything they hold dear.

Twisted Love is a brother’s best friend/opposites attract romance with plenty of heat and no cliffhangers. Recommended for 18+ due to adult language and explicit content.

Twisted Love is my first book by Ana Huang but it will certainly not be my last. I loved this story and how it was written and how every page kept me captivated. Alex and Ava were two very different characters but that's what made them so amazing together and I really enjoyed getting to see Ava try her hardest to break through Alex's walls. There was also some suspense going on that had me so involved in the story and just dying to figure out what was going to happen.

I'm a huge fan of the brothers-best-friend trope so I've read a ton of books with that theme and can say that this is one of the best ones. The tension was off the charts hot and the chemistry between Alex and Ava was evident and had me falling for them. There's a point in the book where it turns even steamier and holy hell did I think my Kindle would combust from all the heat.

There were a lot of layers to this story, the romance, suspense, smexiness, and it was all brilliant. It worked together very well and never became too much going. Overall, this is a must read and get's a huge recommendation from me.

EXCERPT

Something smelled delicious, like spice and heat. I wanted to wrap it around me like a blanket.

I snuggled closer to the source, enjoying the strong, solid warmth beneath my cheek. I didn’t want to wake up, but I’d promised Bridget I would volunteer at a local pet shelter with her this morning, before my afternoon shift at the gallery.

I allowed myself one more minute of coziness—had my bed always been this big and soft—before I opened my eyes and yawned.

Weird. My room looked different. No photograph prints papering the walls, no vase of sunflowers by the bed. And did my bed just move by itself?

My eyes latched onto the broad expanse of bare skin beneath me, and my stomach dropped. I looked up, up—straight into a pair of familiar green eyes. Eyes that stared back at me with no hint of the humor from last night.

He flicked his gaze down. I followed it…and realized, to my abject horror, that I was touching Alex Volkov’s dick. Unintentionally, and he had on sweats, but still.

I. Was. Touching. Alex. Volkov’s. Dick.

And it was hard.

As the years pass, they succumb to their forbidden desires. But their secret isn’t the only one looming over the Ashford family. An enemy rises from the ashes to bring discord among them.

Amid regrets and guilt, love and hatred, their feelings become more intense and harder to hide.

Will Talon and Navia be able to face all the obstacles and keep the family together while fighting for their love?

Bookbub Review - “What a way to debut!! Willa Watkins has written a steamy suspenseful romance that is going to suck you in and not let you go.”
Goodreads Review - “Wow this book was so good I was hooked from the first page.”
Made Me Blush Books - “This debut novel from Willa surprised me in the best way. I loved the chemistry between Navia and Talon!”


Wow this book was so good I was hooked from the first page. I've never read this author before but after reading the blurb I had to give it a go. I went in with an open mind and I'm a sucker for stepbrother forbidden type of romance. But this had a mystery kind of twist and it made the book so good. I was on the edgy of my seat through the whole book I was dying to know what was goin to happen. Then the ending omg WHY!!!! cliffys kill me but this one really did me in im so gutted it stopped there I need more!!!! So I'm dying for the next book really.

The characters in this book are great Navana is a brilliant character she hasn't had an easy life but find the Ashfords made her life so much better. But there of a lot she does know and needs to find out. Her being in luv with Talon her stepbrother doesn't make things easy but you can help who you luv and she luv him so much she is willing to throw away everything she has for Talon. Talon is just has crazy about her as she is him. But he just fought things harder until he couldn't anymore. The relationship between Navana and Talon isn't the only thing the family have to deal with. There are enemies out there that want to get back at the Ashfords so things are about to get rocky.

I would highly recommend this book. The story was so good and like I said at the beginning I was hooked. It was well written and the characters are so good. It wasn't just Navana and Talon that were great. The rest of the Ashford brother are so interesting and there stories so far are great and I've been left dying for more.

EXCERPT

"I don’t know what Josh tells you about me—if he tells you anything at all—but I assure you, you have no idea what I want or what’s in my best interest.”

I paused, causing her to stumble into my chest. My thumb and forefinger grasped her chin, forcing her to look up at me. “Try me.”

Ava blinked, her breaths coming out in short, shallow puffs. “My favorite color.”

“Yellow.”

“My favorite ice cream flavor.”

“Mint chocolate chip.”

Her chest rose and fell harder. “My favorite season.”

“Summer, because of the warmth and sunshine and greenery. But secretly, winter fascinates you.” I lowered my head until my own breath skated over her skin and her scent crawled into my nostrils, drugging me. Turning my voice into a hoarse, sinful version of itself. “It speaks to the darkest parts of your soul. The manifestations of your nightmares. It’s everything you fear, and for that, you love it. Because the fear makes you feel alive.”

The band played, and the people around us whirled and danced, but in this world we’d carved for ourselves, it was silent save for our ragged intakes of breath.

Ava shivered beneath my touch. “How do you know all that?”

“It’s my job to know things. I observe. I watch. I remember.” I gave into my desire—a tiny one—and traced her lips with my thumb. A shudder rolled through us, our bodies so in sync we reacted the exact fucking way at the exact fucking time. I brought my thumb down and tightened my grip on her chin. “But those are shallow questions, Sunshine. Ask me something real.”
