Twisted #3
Twisted Hate
Goodreads Choice Award
Nominee for Readers' Favorite Romance (2022) He hates her...almost as much as he wants her.
Gorgeous, cocky, and fast on his way to becoming a hotshot doctor, Josh Chen has never met a woman he couldn’t charm—except for Jules f**king Ambrose.
The beautiful redhead has been a thorn in his side since they met, but she also consumes his thoughts in a way no woman ever has.
When their animosity explodes into one unforgettable night, he proposes a solution that’ll get her out of his system once and for all: an enemies with benefits arrangement with simple rules.
No jealousy.
No strings attached.
And absolutely no falling in love.
**
Outgoing and ambitious, Jules Ambrose is a former party girl who’s focused on one thing: passing the attorney’s bar exam.
The last thing she needs is to get involved with a doctor who puts the SUFFER in insufferable…no matter how good-looking he is.
But the more she gets to know him, the more she realizes there’s more than meets the eye to the man she’s hated for so long.
Her best friend’s brother.
Her nemesis.
And her only salvation.
Theirs is a match made in hell, and when the demons from their past catch up with them, they’re faced with truths that could either save them …or destroy everything they’ve worked for.
Twisted Hate is a steamy enemies with benefits/enemies to lovers romance. It's book three in the Twisted series but can be read as a standalone.
Warning: It contains explicit content, profanity, and topics that may be sensitive to some readers. For details, please see content notes inside the book. Recommended for 18+.

4.5 ⭐️ there isn’t crack in this book there’s fucking heroin
Ana put her whole thrussy into this one. this book was a thicc motherfucker but i read those 500+ pages like my life depending on it. i was addicted from cover to cover. it became unhealthy. i was losing control, sleep, and my fucking mind because i couldn’t get enough.
let me make one thing fucking clear. Jules? carried this entire book. i fucking love her. she’s so fiery it’s honestly inspiring. i had a lot of laugh out loud moments with this book and it was due to miss girl.
josh? ok i experienced a lot of emotions when it came to him. at times i wanted to fuck him and other times i wanted to beat him senseless. this book became one of those books in which i fell for the female lead harder.
i love josh and jules’ dynamic. they still had that fire even after that got together and i loved that shit. the josh and alex scenes were also so so cute like omfg the bromance 🥺
i gotta say, i felt like chapter 46 was no unbelievably unnecessary for this book. like the shit that happened in that chapter felt so out of pocket that it made me feel a lot differently about certain characters than i did in the beginning. that’s why this isn’t rated a full 5 stars. nonetheless i really enjoyed the book and story.
it feels like every book is getting better and better with this series like i can’t wait for twisted lies because the few scenes we did get with Christian already had this gorilla grip throwing punches. i NEED book 4 already!

YALL WHAT. WHAT. WHAT. I HAVE BEEN ANTICIPATING JOSH & JULES SINCE TWISTED LOVE BUT NOTHING COULD HAVE PREPARED ME FOR THIS. ok let me stop screaming as I try to gather my thoughts. this mf book was everything. I have quite literally no complaints???? i really liked twisted love, and I adored twisted games BUT TWISTED HATE???? nothing compares. the way josh and jules had me in a chokehold the whole book!!!!! their A1 banter, their impeccable spicy scenes, their deeper connection.. I could go on & on. this was one of the very few books i’ve seen where the enemies NEVER lose their banter and their edge even after they turned lovers. I fell in love w jules ambrose and everything she’s been through, and josh mf chen? no words. I also loved the domestic scenes and the fact that we got to see alex & ava and bridget and rhys!!!!!! i’m SO EXCITED FOR STELLA AND CHRISTIAN I COULD CRY. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if that wasn’t obvious enough.

should've listened to my intuition and not read this book. and yet
.
→ generic, cardboard, blah
→ the abrupt change in josh's demeanor from casual to possessive caveman at the half way mark was so jarring
→
→ i was more than willing to sacrifice the one bed trope to josh doting on her period cramps. call me private ryan
→ listen i wanna love stella (hot af multicultural queen), but personality wise the girl is giving us ✨nothing.✨ hopefully she does some soul searching between books 3 and 4 and scrounges up ✨something✨
→ i hate reading about ava and alex cause they're happy and i'd like them to not be

I 🫶🏼 Josh & Jules. This is a true enemies to lovers. I love that the fact that they "hate" each other continues to be a part of the book even when they start falling for each other (especially in the spice🥵) I also LOVE Ana Huang's subplots in this series. They're always so unique and often deal with things related to crime/people being in danger. We also get to see a lot of book 1's couple, Alex & Ava, in this book which was fun.
Also I read a preview for the last book and I'M SO EXCITED TO START IT!!

Reading this book again and again gives me nostalgia, and I love all the feelings I get while reading this book! There's something about this book that always makes me happy while reading it 💗
Josh Chen and Jules Ambrose stole a piece of my heart when I started reading books, and they have had it since then! 😭 Also, the fact that I read this book for the 3rd time and this time with music - THE EXPERIENCE WAS AMAZING! ✨
I don't know what type of drug Ana was high on while writing this one, but I need that for future books! In a world full of billionaires, I would like to read about a cocky doctor (or a grumpy bodyguard, please). 🤝🏻
╰┈➤ JULES 'redheaded menace' AMBROSE: 💋
She gives off 'If money can't buy happiness, then give me yours' vibes, and that's the standard! ✨
It's super hard to find a confident, sexy, savage, and funny character who is not annoying at all or a pick-me. 😐 I swear the number of pick-me FMCs I've read is insane! She knew she was hot and had a sexy-as-sin body, and she dressed up how she wanted without giving two fucks about what others think! I'm glad that not one twisted girl is a pick-me and owns up to what they like, and Jules was full of flaws. Not once did she blame anyone for what happened but herself! She had full control over her own life and made each and every decision to survive, which I can say IS A LOT. Considering I don't even know what I want to study yet??!
She's the strongest and has faced a lot in her life without losing her strength, fire, and courage, and she deserves each and every good thing happening to her.
"I didn’t believe in false humility—I knew I looked good." — Yes, QUEEN! 💗👑
"Pretty exteriors hiding deadly poison which, in Jules’s case, came in the form of her viperous tongue." — That's why she's the savage one! 🔥
I waited until our faces were only inches apart before I swerved abruptly and kissed a startled Marshall instead. — I would literally kill just to get Josh's POV on this exact scene! 🥺
╰┈➤ JOSH 'devil's spawn' CHEN: 🩺
I do not fucking care if he's not a billionaire, stalker, or whatever; I LOVE HIM. The amount of comments I've seen of people kinda having a turn-off because he's NOT LIKE OTHER twisted men is insane! 😑
He's the best twisted man ever! Well, I mean HIM AND RHYS ARE THE TOP! 😂 But I love him the same! The man was full of flaws, life, and feelings that I can't help but love him. I hated him while loving him. He's stupid and the biggest idiot ever, but so what? That's what a normal human is!NOT EVERYONE HAS AN IQ OF 160. 😒
The more I read this book, the more I imagine Josh better! His aesthetics are just so cute! 😗 And he's freaking hilarious in his comebacks and sans his emotional health in this book - he was pretty nice. He was super judgy, but at least he gets remorseful lmao! If I have to rate who's the best between Josh and Jules, IT'LL OBVIOUSLY BE JULES, but as her man, Josh gets some points! 🤷🏻♀️ HE GOT THE BEST.
As you know, JULES IS THE QUEEN. Josh is a drama queen! I can't believe the number of times he had created chaos out of small situations! THE BIGGEST ONE IS CHRISTIAN-ALEX'S FRIENDSHIP. 😂
“On a scale of one to ten, how badly do you want to fuck me right now?” - 11/10 🥹
“Sweetheart, in a few minutes, you’ll forget your own name.” - His dirty talking had no boundaries! 🥵🫠
➺ Josh is the biggest romantic, I'm telling y'all...
✨ Gave her a massage when she was having super painful period cramps
✨ Noticed small details about her even though he hates her. "I noticed everything about her, whether I wanted to or not." - but don't you hate her.....
✨ Taught her how to ski without making fun of her! And that's super impossible for him. 🤷🏻♀️
✨ "Disrespect Jules again, and I’ll put you in the emergency room myself.” - Threatened his co-worker because he disrespected Jules!
✨ Left his trip to New Zealand and went to Ohio just to comfort her. 😩
✨ Arranged a bookstore date for her because she loves books! 💗
✨ Beat the fuck out of Max because he pushed Jules down the stairs! 😗🥺
If these are the bare minimum, then I don't mind at all because I don't live in DELULU! 😗
➤ IT WAS PERFECT ENEMIES-TO-LOVERS AND THE SEX WAS JUST TOO HOT.
They didn't just fall in love with each other! There was lust... and lust, A LOT OF LUST, with a huge amount of sexual tension, and then they both exploded and had sex like animals 🤧 I swear their first sex scene was full of hate, anger, and passion, and it was super hot. I was choking, gripping the sheets, and TOPPED IT OFF WITH "WRONG" BY ZAYN 🤤🔥
They got into aFriends-with-benefits arrangement and still had sex, again and again! THE HOTTEST BOOK? IT'S THIS ONE! 🥵
"Tell me why I can't stop thinking about you. Hmm? What the fuck did you do to me?" — For fucks sake, that 'hmm' did something inside of me! 😭 And when he spanked and choked her before this.... *swoon*.
His hand closed around my throat, and he squeezed. Harder and harder, until darkness edged my vision and I couldn't take it anymore. I opened my mouth to gasp for air, managing to drag in one breath before he shoved his cock in. — I remember when I read this book for the first time, being shocked when he did this! 🤭
Their sex scenes were anything but sweet, and like a greedy little sucker for them, I DEVOURED IT! 😉
➤ The third act conflict was stupid as fuck, and Max was a bitch... 🤬
I was cheering when Jules took Christian's helpwho couldn't say no because of Stella who made Jules sign a contract of owing him a favor, and SHE STOLE THE SEX TAPE MAX HAD OF HER AND REMOVED ALL THOSE EVIDENCES! 🤝🏻
I was glad she went to Josh and didn't drag this out for a long time for him to find out from someone else, and she told him the truth...
➤ Ok, Josh... full of flaws... Josh was being a stupid ass! I mean A LOT of stupid ass, like his head was stuck in his ass! 💀 He yelled at her, and it wasn't just yelling; it was downright degrading, which might cause the worst form of mental and emotional trauma. His words were like a knife tomy Jules' heart! 💔
Before y'all come, I did not like his behavior at all, okay? And Jules did not deserve what happened either! - Josh could've treated her nicely or at least be mad at her, but he said much worse things ever, and that was soul-crushing at best. I hated him in that scene, but that doesn't mean he's not worthy of forgiveness because he's, after all, human and has his own traumas and fears! He lacks trust, and everyone in his life betrayed him—his father, his friend—but still, he finally managed to trust Jules only to get betrayed by her too! She had her reasons and came clean, but Jules' betrayal was just the end of everything! HE SNAPPED.
He felt remorseful for his behavior and did his fair share of groveling!THOUGH SOME MORE WOULDN'T HURT. But whatever, we still got it. AND IF YOU SAY IT'S FICTIONAL AND BLAH BLAH then shut up because no one wants to read a book full of sweet, nice things without angst, lmao, because I personally don't!
➤ BEFORE Y'ALL COME AT JOSH, BACK TF OFF 🔪🔪🔪.
- ALEX lied to Ava, betrayed her, and said worse things to her too! HE'S A BILLIONAIRE AND SPENT 1 YEAR AT GROVELING!!! so what? I don't fucking care. 🙁
-Rhys is cute! Rhys is nice! 💗
-Christian stalked Stella despite knowing she fears stalkers and lied to her.
-Dante used Vivian just to take revenge on her father.
BUT THEY ARE ALL FORGIVEN BECAUSE WHY?? They're freaking billionaires. I'm happy with Josh. No hate to others, though because I love them toonot you Alex, but I just wanted to prove a point....
“Did yours? (Opinion changed) Because until we started having sex, you treated me the same as you did in college.” — I'm glad Jules fucking pointed that out to him! Josh judged Jules as he did in the other books, that she's a bad influence, and Jules always had suffered from judgment because of her looks, and Josh did the same at the start! Thus making them both hate each other to the core! THOUGH I'M GLAD JOSH WAS REMORSEFUL FOR WHAT HE SAID, but he was right, opinions do change! And what I loved the most is how Jules did not let him get the upper hand ever! She's a baddie! 💪🏻
“We got caught in this cycle of insulting and hating each other, and I didn't know how to break it.” — and before their awfully amazing sex, they didn't know why! And they always insulted each other because it was like muscle memory! 😂 Though I must say the banter was hilarious and my favorite! 🤭
“It’s not. Even if I didn’t mean for you to hear it, you did. I hurt you, and I’m sorry.” — cutie!
My heart pounded out a hard, territorial rhythm with each step. Mine. Mine. Mine. — caveman! 🤭
“You’re my personal hell, Red. And God help me, I don’t want to fucking leave.” — Lmaoo, I remember seeing a meme in which Alex was saying that JOSH SOUNDS LIKE A MASOCHIST! 💀🤣
JOSH CHEN:
❝ Red, you’ll fall in love with me before I ever fall in love with you. ❞
ALSO, JOSH CHEN:
❝ You’re mine,” I said against her mouth. “Let another man touch you, Jules, and you’ll find out just how easily I can take a man’s life as I can save one. ❞
— ALSO, please, the main part from 'one more hour by tame impala' evokes some kind of feels inside me while reading twisted hate that it's like escaping from this universe and going into a new one! 😩✨ and it's own playlist is so good!
Imma walk away... this review was much needed for my sanity! 🚶

BUT THEY ARE ALL FORGIVEN BECAUSE WHY?? They're freaking billionaires. I'm happy with Josh. No hate to others, though because I love them too
“Did yours? (Opinion changed) Because until we started having sex, you treated me the same as you did in college.” — I'm glad Jules fucking pointed that out to him! Josh judged Jules as he did in the other books, that she's a bad influence, and Jules always had suffered from judgment because of her looks, and Josh did the same at the start! Thus making them both hate each other to the core! THOUGH I'M GLAD JOSH WAS REMORSEFUL FOR WHAT HE SAID, but he was right, opinions do change! And what I loved the most is how Jules did not let him get the upper hand ever! She's a baddie! 💪🏻
“We got caught in this cycle of insulting and hating each other, and I didn't know how to break it.” — and before their awfully amazing sex, they didn't know why! And they always insulted each other because it was like muscle memory! 😂 Though I must say the banter was hilarious and my favorite! 🤭
“It’s not. Even if I didn’t mean for you to hear it, you did. I hurt you, and I’m sorry.” — cutie!
My heart pounded out a hard, territorial rhythm with each step. Mine. Mine. Mine. — caveman! 🤭
“You’re my personal hell, Red. And God help me, I don’t want to fucking leave.” — Lmaoo, I remember seeing a meme in which Alex was saying that JOSH SOUNDS LIKE A MASOCHIST! 💀🤣
JOSH CHEN:
❝ Red, you’ll fall in love with me before I ever fall in love with you. ❞
ALSO, JOSH CHEN:
❝ You’re mine,” I said against her mouth. “Let another man touch you, Jules, and you’ll find out just how easily I can take a man’s life as I can save one. ❞
— ALSO, please, the main part from 'one more hour by tame impala' evokes some kind of feels inside me while reading twisted hate that it's like escaping from this universe and going into a new one! 😩✨ and it's own playlist is so good!
Imma walk away... this review was much needed for my sanity! 🚶

If I could give zero stars I would.
What the hell happened to Jules???
Okay so I will be honest:
Jules was this badass girl that I appreciated since book one so I kind of thought that she would be putting Josh into his place in this book and make him work for it.
Spoiler: she did not.
Maybe it’s just me but I thought that this was a completely different Jules especially after that “Plot twist” scene.
It just didn’t make any sense to me.
Now let’s talk Josh aka the biggest fucking asshole on this planet that did not deserve to get back without groveling.
Now here’s the difference between him and Alex (slight spoiler below):
Alex did what he did Bc he thought he was protecting Ava in the long run even if it hurt a bit.
Josh purposely and directly wanted to hurt Jules where he knew it would be the most painful. That is completely different and look at what Alex did to get Ava back Vs what Josh did. Oh yeah he did nothing.
Josh honestly lost all my respect after that scene and the fact that Jules took him back right after made absolutely no sense.
Now the enemies to lovers was not what I thought enemies would be (spoiler below too)
Josh cared not even 10% in. He was already talking about hugging and at the 50% mark he said “I never felt that for anyone expect her” as a response to how Alex described his feelings for Ava. HOW IS THAT ENEMIES TO LOVERS???
they already weren’t enemies at like 10% and I just expected more slow burn but it was the faster than Rhys and Bridget which was forbidden I guess.
I just can’t deal with Josh as well as how Jules acted in this book

The first 70% is perhaps one of the best contemporary enemies to lovers romances I’ve ever read. The last 30% is perhaps the most eye roll inducing bullshit I’ve ever encountered….I’ll split the difference with a 3.5 star rating because i loved josh and jules but that third act conflict was egregiously bad what was the author thinking

y'all when i tell you that i wasn't ever excited for this book, i had zero expectations. i was ready to come here and give a hate rant. now look at me 🤡 me with my 5 fucking star 🤡. i gotta say whatever crack was in this book, i fucking want it bitches. ugh guys this won't be a 5 star read unless you are crazy like me bc i'm willing to neglect all the flaws in the book for josh ok.
tbh the what the plot was? i don't fucking care about it. all i care about is josh 😻 my joshy boobo0 pants 🥺🤪. the way i can't even shut up about this man. i don't even want to shut up about him.
smut spoilers ahead
the way my heart skipped a beat. this was the line that started my josh chen obsession. i read this and i was whipped for him. i couldn't even think straight. i was just so shocked because the other books even though had good smut, lacked to make me feel butterflies and just you know... this book, however, gave me everything.
my actual reaction:
yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes.
the way i'm still sweating for this man. i don't even have words just let me keep these quotes here, please.
THE PRAISE KILLED ME. i love how he sometimes either praised her or degraded her. it was a nice mix. istg i was sitting here thinking oh god how i wanted josh chen to do all this shit to me.
ugh we love an obsessed boy <3
tbh @anahuang please next time dont be shy and make joshy boy spank her pussy... why did you tease me like that. i was so sad you don't even understand.
get yourself a doctor who will kill for you even though he saves people. fucking goals tbh.
i cannot believe i forgot this quote :) i'm shhhhhhhhhhhhhh
anyways, i'm excited for twisted lies bc its christian and he just seems very yummy BUT i'm not here for the insta lust. idk hope i'm surprised by the book like i was with twisted games but so far josh chen is my fav boy <3

“You’re my personal hell, Red.” He gave my hair another sharp tug. “And God help me, I don’t want to fucking leave.”

“Beg for it, Red.” He curled his finger and hit my most sensitive spot, eliciting another moan, before he slowly dragged it out and shoved it back in. His breathing harshened. “Beg me to fuck you. To make you come all over my cock like you so desperately crave.”

my actual reaction:
“You feel so fucking good,” he growled. “You love my cock wrecking that tight little pussy, don’t you?”
yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes.
“The next time you want to insult me, I want you to think about this.” He withdrew until just the tip of his cock remained in my mouth, paused, and plunged down in one sharp thrust. I gagged again, the tears flowing faster, the heat in my belly stoking hotter. “You on your knees, gagging on every inch of my cock while I ruin your tight little throat.”
the way i'm still sweating for this man. i don't even have words just let me keep these quotes here, please.
“That’s it,” Josh groaned. “Every inch, just like that. I knew you could take it.”
THE PRAISE KILLED ME. i love how he sometimes either praised her or degraded her. it was a nice mix. istg i was sitting here thinking oh god how i wanted josh chen to do all this shit to me.
“We’d already had sex once tonight. That should’ve taken the edge off my need, but I was addicted to this. To her. Her taste, her smell, the little breathy moans she let out every time I thrust into her and the way her pussy clamped around my cock like it was made for me. I wanted all of it, all the time.”
ugh we love an obsessed boy <3
“Most women thought men wanted them to taste like berries or lavender or whatever, but if we were eating pussy, we wanted to taste pussy. That was the whole fucking point.”
“Don’t make me spank your pussy next, Red.” I rubbed my thumb over her still-swollen clit in warning. “I won’t be as gentle.”
tbh @anahuang please next time dont be shy and make joshy boy spank her pussy... why did you tease me like that. i was so sad you don't even understand.
“Because you’re mine,” I said against her mouth. “Let another man touch you, Jules, and you’ll find out just how easily I can take a man’s life as I can save one.”
get yourself a doctor who will kill for you even though he saves people. fucking goals tbh.
“Now, she was beautiful in a way that made me want to drown in her, to let her fill every inch of my soul until she fucking consumed me. It didn’t matter if it killed me, because in a world where I was surrounded by death, she was the only thing that made me feel alive.”
“Such a good girl.” Josh rubbed a tear of frustration from my cheek. “You swallowed every drop of cum. That deserves a reward, don’t you think?”
i cannot believe i forgot this quote :) i'm shhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I can't, consciously, give this book more than one star. I'd love to, because I've genuinely grown to love Ana Huang, but I can't.
I've hidden this review because there are so many spoilers. In fact, it's better to go into this book spoiled. Believe you me.
Conclusion. Really disappointed and sad. I had great expectations concerning this book and they went right down the drain. If you decide to open the 'spoilers' in this review, you'll see that there are legit reasons for you to skip this book. I would, however, recommend 'Twisted Games' (aka Book 2 of the series). Rhys and Bridget are a wonderful pairing and well worth the read.

this is honestly probably the best enemies to lovers relationship plot ive ever read.
like, it was palpable how much jules and josh didnt like each other. but it never got to the point where they were cruel. just the constant bickering and annoyances that happen when two people dont get along. so their connection felt believable and it made me want to root for their feelings to change, rather than their “enemy” scenes manifesting degrading and problematic red flags.
the only thing that stopped this book from being perfect was jules’ backstory. it facilitates the classic “miscommunication” conflict that always appears at the end of romance books, but her history just isnt entertaining or interesting, so i dont think it really added anything to the story itself.
but full marks for how the relationship between jules and josh played out. really well done.
↠ 4 stars

wanted to love this but almost none of the elements worked for me sadly. i’ll review more in my wrap up
February 1, 2022
Up until that irritating third-act conflict, this book was beautiful. It was hitting all the right feels points. I adored Josh and Jules.
But that conflict. Could've easily, so easily, been avoided. It read like drama for the sake of drama. Let's just tear these two apart so there's a bit more angst and tension.
No. I wasn't convinced.
So, I skim-read and rolled my eyes away the last 30% of the book. It dragged, they both acted like imbeciles and there's only so much idiocy I can take.
------------------
As of now, this cover wins.
Indie romances coming through!

update: after doing a re-read I would give this book a zero but I can’t so it’s getting a 1⭐️
there’s a questionable consent scene in this book and it would be one thing if it was advertised as a dark romance or included the appropriate triggers but it didn’t… and idk how I feel about that. sex should never be weaponized and the fact that it was used as the “third act conflict” is something….
anyways it was a quick dnf even though I had like 20 pages left.

– 3.25 stars
To think Twisted Hate was my most anticipated book of January lmao ... I don’t know what made me think this book could be a 5 stars (🤡), when I didn’t rate the other two books in the series higher than 3 stars either. I blame it on the “Let another man touch you, Jules, and you’ll find out just how easily. I can take a man’s life as I can save one” quote, there is just something a doctor who is willing to kill when he is suppose to do the opposite don’t judge 🤚 I don’t give a fuck that’s unethical, it’s hot. 😇 But lesson learned and I shouldn’t hype myself up because of one quote. Will I still read Twisted Lies? Sure thing. 😂
I’m going to time this review so let’s see what I can come up with for Twisted Hate in 5 minutes, before I hit publish:
– be aware might contain spoilers –
🏮something about the pace of the book felt off for me, from the blurb I expected Josh and Jules to go right into their on-night stand and from there had that ‘frenemies with benefits’ arrangement, but it was actually super slow, cause nothing happened between them in the first 30%, except them insulting each other, which was fine the first 10%, but after that got boring. I wanted them to at least kiss, but crickets.
🏮Ana could have done so much with that skiing trip with Jules & Josh and even included the one bed trope, but it went nowhere. One chapter they were all sitting together eating lunch and Jules running to the toilet to puke and then the next chapter we jump right back into Jules being back at work after their weekend trip, which didn’t make any sense to me. The transition was just so bad and I thought I might have missed a scene or two.
🏮at least the Jules & Josh sexy scenes didn’t disappoint me and delivered. The hate sex between them especially the first time was explosive and that shit was good food.
🏮but ngl I was a lil concerned at how much and fast Jules could orgasm... Josh only had to pump into her a couple of times and suddenly she came like 5 times in a row. Josh really knew what he was doing. 🤣
🏮while I thought the first third of the book was pretty boring, I liked the rest of it much better when Jules and Josh opened up a little and they had some very cute scenes together. My fav one is when Jules mother died and she flew home, at the same time Josh had a trip planned to New Zealand, but he didn’t go and instead changed his flight to be there for Jules and surprised her in Ohio. My heart melted reading that scene! 🥺
🏮okay maybe I lied, cause I have another fav scene: when Josh took Jules out on their first date and it was a bookstore scavenger hunt. I thought that was fucking cute, because the idea? the planning? the creativity? so sweet!!
🏮I didn’t like how Josh reacted when he found out how Jules deceived him, but I loved how Josh beat up Jules ex, the guy who pushed her down the stairs, not that one thing balance out the other, but it got me some satisfaction lol.
🏮cute contemporary romance, not bad, not good, but overall nothing special. On par with how I feel about the rest of the series, but for a contemporary romance it should have been over 500 pages long.
Conclusion
While Twisted Hate didn't exactly met my expectation, it was the best book in the series so far and Joshjules are superior. 😌

Josh Chen is so damn hot. The audacity of him to be this hot and for the smut to be as hot as it is. It’s rude actually.
1. degradation kink
2. the praise kink
3. the hate sex
Anyone else’s loins getting warm?
4. the. choking.
The bickering between Josh and Jules and the way it carried on through the entire book…I mean what more could you ask for.
Then the romance was just incredible
This is too much emotion 😭 please go back to calling her a slut, it’s safer that way

Josh Chen is so damn hot. The audacity of him to be this hot and for the smut to be as hot as it is. It’s rude actually.
1. degradation kink
“You like this, don’t you?” he growled. He stared down at me, his face taut with desire as he pumped in and out of my throat. “Getting face fucked and filled in every hole like a good little slut.”
2. the praise kink
“That’s it,” Josh groaned. “Every inch, just like that. I knew you could take it.”
“Good girl,” I whispered. “Keep those screams in, Red. I’m the only person who gets to hear how much you love my cock in that tight little cunt.”
3. the hate sex
I didn’t get a chance to respond before he slammed into me from behind with a vicious thrust. A scream ripped from my throat at the painful stretch of his size and the roughness with which he fucked me. Tears sprung to my eyes, but my scream eventually faded into a string of mindless whimpers and squeals as he pounded into me.
“What was that?” Josh’s breath grazed my cheek. “You always have so much to say. Where are your words now, hmm?”
Anyone else’s loins getting warm?
4. the. choking.
Josh’s eyes blazed hotter. His hand closed around my throat, and he squeezed. Harder and harder, until darkness edged my vision and I couldn’t take it anymore. I opened my mouth to gasp for air, managing to drag in one breath before he shoved his cock in.
The bickering between Josh and Jules and the way it carried on through the entire book…I mean what more could you ask for.
Then the romance was just incredible
“Twelve days, eight hours, and nine minutes. I spent every second thinking of you…I thought I knew what I wanted before. Becoming a doctor, chasing the next high. Being the most popular, most liked person in the room. I thought those things would make me happy, and they did. Temporarily. But you…” He rested his forehead against mine. “You’re the only thing that could make me happy forever.”
This is too much emotion 😭 please go back to calling her a slut, it’s safer that way

IT WAS “ENEMIES” WITH BENEFITS TO LOVERS RATHER THAN ACTUAL ENEMIES TO LOVERS. i’m so over the insta-lust/love trope in this series, and the possessive mmcs are getting OLDDD!!! on top of that, the plot was kinda boring and some parts were questionableas usual. josh and jules had their cute moments, but i was so sick and tired of this book that i just couldn't bring myself to care anymore. overall, i really didn’t enjoy this one and i’m hoping twisted lies doesn’t get worse than this 😭😭😭

❤️🔥"As long as there's even the slightest chance that we'll be together, I won't let you go. Because the chance of being with you is better than the reality of being with anyone else" ❤️🔥
I honestly don't understand the hate (haha, ironic, right?) towards this book, but I have to admit that it is the most real relationship that Ana has written to date in the Twisted saga.
I have to admit that I already loved Josh since Twisted Love so I knew I was going to love the book. Jules has been a nice surprise, I knew I was going to like her but I was more fascinated to learn about her past.
I have high expectations for Twisted Lies right now, I can't wait to know more about Stella, she's a character I'm really curious about. I know I'll love Christian a lot (I don't know if more than Rhys and Josh but they'll be there) so this month you'll probably see me reading this book ❤️🔥

so many mixed thoughts with this one. I can finally breath clearly now that I’ll start the last couple.
This is literally how josh and Jules were:
Jules: why do you care?
Josh: I shouldn’t be fucking caring
Me:
【 Jules Ambrose 】
Finally I got to see the day of meeting Ava’s opposite,
I liked Jules so much. She’s so confident and she always sticks up to her friends even tho they didn’t with her, she puts every man in their rightful place. I loved the bitch exterior while exploring her emotions a lot on the inside. Josh as much I was pissed at u? Thank u for giving Jules the true loved she craved her entire life 🥲
and She’s fucking meneater

❝You know what they say about men who talk a big game? They're overcompensating for the smallest packages.❞
❝I liked her already. Any woman who called Josh out earned an A-plus in my book.❞
【 Josh Chen 】
as much as he’s not my personal bookboyfriend type. His character is so refreshing compared to the Ctrl+c / Ctrl+v. signature Ana Huang MMCs.
He’s literally Jules is other half. Their personalities match so hard together.
Okay chapter 46? Nightmares. I’m sorry but he was soooo childish. Why did he compare what Jules did to him to what Alex and Micheal did? First off the latters have known you for years so u can be mad at them. But u can’t be mad at Jules who you barley knew/ judge her for 7 years/ was her enemy. And it was a vulnerable situation that she didn’t mention even to her close friends.
❝It seems only fitting for us to end things with a goodbye fuck. At least you got an orgasm out of it, so don't say I never gave you anything. I'll miss that tight pussy of yours though. No one takes my cock better than you do. It's your best quality.❞
Vomit everywhere 🤢 I swear if I was Jules I’ll never forgive him. He basically called her a whore. Fuck off And above all that his groveling needed to be longer for him to be at least redeemable.
So yeah I hated Ana Huang for pulling that move on him cuz he would’ve been an MMC that I’ll think about often (not a fav tho) it hurts cuz she made him funny as hell and he Matched Jules’s energy, I loved this match truly but unfortunately nothing can be perfect with this author.
I know her skin start itching if god forbid I liked something in her books 💀 she had to ruin it
“If you die, I die, Red. Hell with you sounds like heaven to me”
“The was corny as fuck josh”
“Yeah, so? I’m hot enough to pull it off”
I swear all these back and forth comebacks is giving me life.
❥ Ava and Alex: continues to be my absolute least favorite but the truth must be said That man loves her way too much.
❥ Bridget and Rhys: THE IT COUPLE. They radiate so much power it’s making me sweat 😩
❥ Stella and Christian: I am so fucking exited you don’t understand. They are the reason I stated this series and I can’t wait for them. Bc Christian Harper seems soooo fitting to me 🤭 and the way he’s obsessed with Stella from the first encounter? Yumyumyum.
Twisted hate was a-okay for me. I didn’t hate it even after what josh did. The explosive chemistry saved this book I can’t lie. I had a lot of fun with Jules and josh.
Let’s goooo the only book in the series with a normal plot.
write that down in history bitches ✍️
I really enjoyed how the enemies turned to lovers in here. Imo it took a perfect pace. It’s just that Ana is fucking obsessed with the third act break up she ruined everything ☹️ IT WAS NOT NEEDED IN THIS BOOK like okay I get Alex lied to Ava. Bridget HAD to leave Rhys bc of her status at least there was a reason for it but in here? shut the fuck up and stay away from me.
But again just like all her books that I’ve read so far they don’t get hight rating. Bc they are not special. Saying that I liked the book and had fun reading it doesn’t mean it’s good it’s just what I say for the acceptable mediocre books.
This is literally how josh and Jules were:
Jules: why do you care?
Josh: I shouldn’t be fucking caring

enemies to lovers.. THE ANGST. THE SMUT. oh my god. Each book just gets better and better.. I don’t want this series to end.. UGH this is the best book yet. I’m so excited to start twisted lies. Jules is literally the baddest bitch & Josh might be my favorite man yet 😩😏
"Still hate me?" I whispered, lacing my fingers with Jules's. Her eyes sparkled with mischief as she squeezed my hand. "Always.” I smiled. "Good" 🫶🏽💞

so i’ve given this a lot of thought…i still love josh, he’s just no longer my favorite twisted man..i have switched up. rhys supremacy🧎🏽♀️i’m changing my rating to 4.5 stars because guys😭what josh did to jules was sooo unnecessary, but we’re not gonna dwell on that. this is the same man that massaged her when she had period cramps, same man that taught her how to ski, the same man that planned out a little bookstore scavenger hunt🥹🥹, the same man who secretly followed her home late at night to make sure she got back safe. “i would take a thousand fights with jules over a thousand easy days with anyone else. because i didn’t want easy. i wanted her.” hehe josh🫶🏼i think what it was that instantly made me give this book 5 stars the first time i read it was the “who did this to you” guys i swear that line gets me every single time🤭🤭it STILL got me i was ready to give it five stars again…but i couldn’t😭not when rhys larsen exists🤭

josh chen went from being my favorite twisted boy to the most insufferable one in a matter of a few short chapters. he was a good character in every book except his own. his cockiness got old and tiring by the 30% mark, and all his dialogues with jules were embarrassing.
if you can’t write good banter in a romance: the whole thing becomes uninteresting. ana huang could’ve made these protagonists so much better. instead, they felt like two children fighting rather than two adults being humorous. at some point, the conversations in here became so annoying, i wanted my eyes plucked out. 🧘🏻♀️
also, what josh did in the third act breakup was messed up. and, because ana had to deliver a love story no matter what, jules forgave him in a week. i know she was also in the wrong, but josh’s cruelness crossed so many lines. he didn’t deserve forgiveness after a week.
and what happened to jules? her badass personality was one of my favorite aspects but it’s like she changed overnight. taking back the man who humiliated her just like that? she should’ve had him groveling for years.
i hate to admit it, but i won’t be surprised if alex’s spine is cracked by now. he’s been carrying this series on his back since the first book. his scenes with ava saved this read from an even lower rating.
furthermore, enemies to lovers where? it took me four chapters with josh and jules’ inner monologues to recognize they’re fucking obsessed with one another. authors’ definition of enemies: he looked at me funny seven years ago because he was having a bad day. now i’m going to make his life hell while still obsessing over his good looks. enough with this shit.
this is also the only twisted book that felt like a chore.
five hundred and twenty pages. is it ever THAT serious?
i would’ve gotten bored even if the couple was likable. 🗣️

✩ 3 stars ✩
What to Expect:
➼ Enemies to Lovers
➼ Forced Proximity
➼ Temporary Working Relationship
➼ Temporary Truce
➼ Ski Trip
➼ Only One Bed
➼ Enemies with Benefits
➼ Miscommunication and Misunderstandings
➼ Lies by Omission
➼ FMC’s Past Coming Back to Haunt Her
➼ Best Friend’s Brother
➼ 3rd Act Break Up
➼ Dual POV
I feel a little conflicted about this one. If I was rating solely based on entertainment value, I would likely rate this a little higher, but there was a lot I didn’t love about their relationship. They were very harsh and rough with each other for a good portion of the book and he said some truly awful things to her. A lot of the plot hinges on poor communication or lies by omission which I also don’t love. She keeps quiet about a major detail from her past and betrays his trust, but the way he treated her and spoke to her when she came clean was absolutely despicable. I would describe his actions as abuse. I had already felt like a lot of their relationship was toxic and sometimes even toed the line of nonconsensual, but angry or not, he took things way too far. If this were a real life scenario, I don’t think he would have deserved a second chance after using her and discarding her in that way. Dark romance exists, so there are clearly a lot of people out there who are into reading about toxic relationships 🙃, but I can’t in good conscience give more than 3 stars to a book that made my lip curl in disgust this many times.
This is fiction, so maybe it’s not such a big deal, but the plot of this book AND Twisted Love felt a little too far fetched to me. I’m supposed to believe that the man who hurt her in her past is released from prison and immediately goes looking for the one specific piece of obscure art that happens to be hanging over her new boyfriend’s bed? 😅 Give me a break. Maybe if the old boyfriend had tracked her down BECAUSE of a post of them together that featured the art in the background or something I might have been able to buy into it, but even that would have been a stretch.
I’ll admit that this was at least better than Twisted Love but Josh Chen will never be added to my book boyfriend list. 🙅🏼♀️

I’m seeing a lot of mixed reviews on this one, but I’m hoping it will at least be better than Twisted Love. Really shouldn’t be hard! I was probably too generous with my two star rating. 😅
