Synopsis
Alex Volkov, a man with the face of an angel and a heart of ice, is driven by a tragic past that haunts him. His relentless pursuit of success and vengeance leaves no room for matters of the heart. But when he's tasked with looking after his best friend's sister, he feels something he thought he'd buried long ago—a crack, a melt, a fire that could change everything.
Ava Chen, a free spirit plagued by nightmares of a forgotten childhood, sees beauty in the world, even in a man like Alex, her brother's best friend and her neighbour. Their love was never supposed to happen, but when it does, it unearths secrets that could shatter them both.
Review
"Twisted Love" by Ana Huang is an addictive read that had me hooked from the very first page. The writing is wonderfully engaging, making it a breeze to devour.
What sets this story apart is the character of Ava Chen. Unlike many female leads who often need saving and are portrayed simplistically, Ava is refreshingly different. She possesses a huge heart, plenty of sass, and the courage to stand up to others. Despite her past struggles, she finds happiness in life.
"I wanted her, but it wasn’t a sweet, tender kind of want.
It was a dirty , ugly want, tainted by the blood on my hands and a desire to drag her out of the sunshine and into my night."
Equally captivating is Alex Volkov, the quintessential alpha male who initially appears cold and emotionally distant. Watching him slowly open up as he spends more time with Ava is a delightful transformation.
Both Alex and Ava are on personal journeys—Alex seeks revenge, while Ava wants to uncover her fog-shrouded past. The story provides tantalizing clues about their backgrounds, which keeps readers engaged. Their growth as individuals and as a couple is a testament to the richness and depth of the storytelling.
"You have a multi-layered heart, Alex. A heart of gold encased in a heart of ice."
"Twisted Love" is a mind-twisting tale with a heroine worth rooting for. If you enjoy stories that keep you guessing and characters who evolve beautifully, this book is a must-read.
