Today, we’re diving into Twisted Games by Ana Huang, the second installment in her interconnected standalone series, Twisted. This novel centers on Bridget and Rhys, exploring their complex lives and evolving relationship.
Ana Huang is renowned for her captivating series, including Kings of Sings and If Love.
In Twisted Games, the story unfolds from the perspectives of Bridget, who was born a princess but never wanted the role, and Rhys, her dedicated bodyguard. Bridget had always preferred a normal life and was content being second in line to the throne. However, her life takes a sharp turn when her brother, the crown prince, abdicates the throne, elevating her to the position of crown princess. As she grapples with her new responsibilities, Rhys, who adheres strictly to his duties, finds himself irresistibly drawn to Bridget. Together, they must navigate the complexities of their changing relationship and the political dangers that threaten both their future and the kingdom’s stability. Will they manage to overcome these challenges, or will their struggles lead to disaster for themselves and their realm?
Here are a few quotes that capture the essence of the book:
“The best rulers are those who can wield both the carrot and the stick in equal measure.” This quote underscores the balance required between power and empathy in effective leadership.
“But people were people, no matter their title, and some desires were universal. Unfortunately, the ability to fulfill them was not.” This reflects the idea that, regardless of status or wealth, individuals are often constrained by certain limitations.
“Love. Passion. Choice. Things no amount of money could buy.” This highlights that true affection and personal freedom are priceless and cannot be purchased.
If you’re a fan of forced proximity and the dynamic Princess x Bodyguard romance, *Twisted Games* is definitely worth a read.
