General Description: Bridget, as seen in Twisted Love, got a new body guard named Rhys. We find out Bridget must take the throne in her old country and Rhys isn't too happy about that. With feelings building between princess and bodyguard, will they be able to overcome the traditional rules of the country where Bridget is meant to rule, or will Rhy let go of the one person who's made him feel alive after all these years?

The good:
- The overall story and where it fit in the series was interesting, especially seeing some scenes from book 1 told in a book 2 perspective
- I personally like court politics as a whole, so the entire back story of this country and it's rules were interesting to me
- The plot twists did catch me off guard and I enjoyed the little mysteries in this book.

The not so good:
- I just didn't like Rhys. I feel like he lacked empathy for Bridget's situation and didn't really talk to her...definitely did not like him as much as I liked Alex.
- So many jumps in time I was getting confused. 

Overall: I think if you read Twisted Love, you'll like Twisted Games (maybe more, maybe less, I don't really know)
