Summary

It all started with an ad.

“House sitter needed for the summer, free room and board.”

Guess I missed the part about the cocky basketball player sleeping down the hall…

Finn Richards is hot, cruel, broken beyond repair. Oh, and did I mention hell-bent on making me quit?

Whatever. It’s not like his charms work on me, anyway. I’m immune to his cold, hazel eyes, and I’m not even a little bit curious about what really happened that night.

Who cares that I let him take my first kiss?

Who cares that I’d give him all of my firsts if he just asked?

It’s just two months. I can definitely go two months without giving him my heart, too…

Right?

Review

You can seem physically fine and be a complete mess inside.

Dear Heart, I Hate You is one of my most anticipated books of 2022. I kept checking my library to see if it was on my kindle yet. Even though I was impatient, I didn’t read it right away. I wanted to wait until the next day, so I had the whole day to read it. Well, that didn’t go as planned. After a few hours, I caved and began reading DHIHY. I knew then it was game over, and there was no way I was going to sleep until I finished reading. So I read Dear Heart, I Hate You straight with a few breaks in between until I finished around 3/4 AM. Even after I finished, I couldn’t sleep right away because I was still processing everything.

Diamond “Dia” and Finn were introduced in Dear Love, I Hate You. The glimpses had always made me wonder how they got to be where they are. And to think their relationship began one summer over an ad for a house sitter job.

Finn is broken. He’s on a path of self-destruction. Finn wants everyone to think that he’s a monster and heartless. But instead, he’s just a broken boy who doesn’t want to be hurt.
Dia is sassy and strong. She stands up for herself and doesn’t take Finn’s crap. Dia can see who Finn is, and she wants to save him.

Dia and Finn’s story couldn’t be contained in one book; instead, it’s split into two. Dear Heart, I Hate You is high school, and Dear Heart, I Miss You is college.

Luckily, the wait for Dear Heart, I Miss You isn’t that long. Three to four months will fly by. So unless something happens, anything from Eliah is worth the wait!

I’ve been a fan of Eliah Greenwood since her Wattpad days. To think that she isn’t that much older than me and is doing what she loves. Following one’s dreams is challenging but worthwhile. I hope Eliah’s works get enough exposure for her to continue writing.

Summary

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 and profanity. Recommended for 18+. 

Review

To eveyone who’s ever felt like they weren’t enough.

As soon as I saw Twisted Hate on my kindle, I wanted to read it! Unfortunately, I was in the middle of another book. I knew that I couldn’t focus on it until I finished my current read.

Ana Huang has a special place in my heart because of Wattpad. She became an auto-buy author right after I read Twisted Love. The Twisted series immediately captivated me, and I have no regrets since.

Enemies-to-lovers is one of my favorite tropes. The angst and banters are always fun to read. We met Jules and Josh in Twisted Love, and there was chemistry, even then. Jules and Josh have always hated each other. But, you know what they always say, “there’s a thin line between love and hate.” Beneath all of the “hate”, there is understanding.

Hooked from the beginning, I couldn’t put Twisted Hate down.

“I thought I’d escape my past, but at the end of the day, our demons always caught up with us.”

Jules’s life looked perfect from the outside. But that is far from the truth. Everyone has their demons; some people are better at hiding them than others.

After finishing Twisted Hate, I wanted to read Twisted Lies right away. June can’t come quick enough!

No matter how I had tried to avoid it, there was no escaping what we had: The kind of love you went to war for.

And that’s exactly what I intended to do.

Obsidian Throne is the fourth and final book in the Lochlann Feuds Series. Don’t miss this stunning conclusion to Rowan’s story!

Review

Let’s start with the cover. I know, don’t judge a book by its cover. But come on, look at them. They’re GORGEOUS! The colors of the dresses aren’t just because it’s pretty; there’s a meaning to them.

In Crimson Kingdom, I was talking about how I wanted Evander’s point of view, not knowing that Obsidian Throne would have it. It seems weird that it goes from one POV in the first three books to two POVs for the last one. But I’m not upset about it. I would’ve loved more of Evander’s POV, but I’m glad that there would be a companion book with his point of view. I understand that The Lochlann Feuds series is Rowan’s story.

I love a full-circle moment. The dedication from Obsidian Throne is

To everyone who took a chance on a story that started with vodka. Psst… It ends that way too.

That in itself encompasses the series as a whole.

I love quotes, and I highlighted so many while I was reading. From the dedication to the last lines of Obsidian Throne, I was hooked!

Obsidian Throne is a roller coaster of emotions. I was laughing, smiling, and there were even moments when I started tearing up.

Like most relationships, Rowan and Evander’s had their ups and downs. From the very beginning, Evander called Rowan Lemmikki. Telling her that it means pet, which it does, but what he meant was darling. And everyone knew that, everyone but Rowan.
Their chemistry was instant.

“To think that we were connected from the first time we danced.”

They were inevitable. Rowan and Evander understand one another.

We were two broken souls with violent tendencies when it came to protecting the people we loved.

On the outside, they’re wearing a mask, hiding everything inside. But beneath it all, they’re human and vulnerable.

At some point, I want to read The Lochlann Treaty series, reread The Lochlann Feuds series, and have a spoiler version along with all of my favorite quotes. But that is a later project. I can’t wait for Evander’s story, whenever that comes out.
