Some romances just beg to be heard rather than read, and Twisted Games is one of them. Here’s what the Twisted Games audiobook is really like. I went in expecting a fun bodyguard-meets-princess fantasy and came out having listened to the whole thing in two greedy sittings. The dual narration turns the simmering tension between a stone-faced protector and the royal he isn’t allowed to want into something you feel in your chest. It’s book two in Ana Huang’s wildly popular Twisted series, but don’t worry if you haven’t touched book one; this reads perfectly well as a standalone.

Rhys Larsen is the best bodyguard money can buy: disciplined, unreadable, and allergic to feelings. His one rule is simple and absolute, never fall for a client. Then he’s assigned to protect Bridget von Ascheberg, a princess of a small European country who is far warmer and far more stubborn than her polished public image suggests. She has duty stitched into every part of her life. He has a wall around every part of his. You can already guess how well those two things hold up.
What follows is a slow-burn, forbidden romance built on proximity, restraint, and all the longing glances a professional is absolutely not supposed to be having. Bridget wants a sliver of freedom before the crown swallows her whole; Rhys wants to keep her safe and keep his heart out of it. Huang leans into the delicious tension of two people who know they shouldn’t, and the payoff, when it finally arrives, is worth the wait. It’s tender, protective, and, fair warning, very steamy.

The narration: two voices, one very good time
The audiobook runs 13 hours and 14 minutes and is narrated in dual POV by Cindy Kay and Aiden Snow, and honestly the casting is spot on. Cindy Kay gives Bridget a poised, quietly determined voice that softens beautifully whenever her guard slips, while Aiden Snow’s low, controlled delivery makes Rhys’s clipped restraint land exactly as it should. Because the story alternates between their perspectives, having a separate voice for each POV keeps you anchored and doubles the emotional impact; you hear him breaking before he’ll ever admit it. The steamier scenes are handled with confidence rather than cringe, which matters a lot on audio. It’s the kind of performance that makes a long commute disappear.
Is the Twisted Games audiobook worth a credit?
For me, yes, easily. At just over 13 hours you get a full, satisfying listen with two strong narrators and a romance that actually earns its swoons. If you love a protective hero, a competent heroine, and the specific ache of a slow burn, this is a very comfortable credit to spend.
Who should press play
Press play if you adore forbidden romance, bodyguard tropes, royal fantasy, and a hero who’s grumpy for everyone except her. This is an open-door, spicy romance, so it’s for adult listeners who want the heat left in. Skip it if explicit content isn’t your thing, or if you prefer plot-heavy thrillers over character-driven love stories, because the emotional relationship is very much the main event here.
