Romance
Twisted Hate
by Ana Huang
"Enemies-to-lovers with real teeth — Josh and Jules bicker like they mean it."
Review last updated:
Book three swaps yearning for friction. Josh Chen and Jules Ambrose have hated each other for years, and the friends-with-benefits bargain they strike is exactly as bad an idea as it sounds. The banter is sharp and the chemistry is combustible.
What works
- The hate is earned; these two genuinely get under each other's skin.
- Jules' storyline is darker and messier than the earlier heroines', and it gives the book weight.
- Josh's arrogance is punctured properly rather than excused.
What to know going in
This is the spiciest of the four and the most volatile. Content notes for a stalker/abuse thread in Jules' backstory.
Who I'd hand it to
Enemies-to-lovers readers who want the fighting to matter, not just fill pages before the kiss.
