My Review

Rating: ★★★☆ ☆(3/5)


Ana Huang’s Twisted Love is a steamy, angst-filled romance that explores the brother’s best friend trope with themes of revenge, emotional healing, and obsessive devotion.


The novel follows Ava Chen, a free-spirited and compassionate photographer, and Alex Volkov, her brother’s cold, ruthless best friend. When Ava’s brother leaves for a year, he entrusts Alex with looking after her. Though Alex initially keeps his distance, Ava’s warmth slowly breaks through his icy exterior. The closer they become, the more Alex’s protectiveness turns into fierce possession—he is willing to do anything to keep her safe, even if it means crossing moral lines. But as their passion deepens, secrets from Alex’s past threaten to tear them apart, forcing them to confront their deepest fears and desires.


Ana Huang crafts a romance filled with intense chemistry, emotional vulnerability, and moments of heartbreaking devotion. The tension between Ava and Alex crackles with desire, creating a slow-burning yet explosive love story. Alex embodies the possessive hero—controlling, dangerously protective, and utterly devoted to Ava. His love is obsessive, toeing the line between passion and destruction, while Ava’s kindness and strength challenge him to become a better man.


For readers who love the brother’s best friend trope, possessive heroes, and a romance filled with longing, heartbreak, and fiery passion, Twisted Love is a compelling and addictive read.
