Review: Filthy Twisted Devil (House of Cards #5) by Lena Hunt

I watched her for six weeks before I knew who she was. I bid $1.3 million the moment I did.

The anonymous cam girl was my secret escape at the end of long days. I never planned to be anything more than a stranger in her audience—until she put one night up for auction, and I recognized the wildflower birthmark in the poster.

Eden Locke. My little sister's best friend. Off-limits in every way that matters.

Eden was furious. But I didn't bid to collect. I bid so no other man could.

And when her three overprotective brothers ambush us—ready to drag her home—it's my lie that saves her: we're dating. Monogamously. And she's quit the cam work.

With promises to keep things clean and respectful (in my defense, I did try), we're now fake dating with five simple rules.

Easy as cherry pie.

Until our practiced kisses stop feeling counterfeit. Until I'm inventing reasons to touch her, and she's whispering my name like it isn't pretend.

Eden feels it, too. That's why she's reminding me of our expiration date, building walls faster than I can climb them. She's forgetting I built an empire on one skill: making people crave what I'm selling. And I've never wanted to close a deal more in my life.

I'm done pretending—and this time, I'm bidding on forever.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect with Filthy Twisted Devil. It was my first Lena Hunt romance AND it is the 5th book in the House of Cards series (for some reason I completely missed that tidbit when I picked it up). However, I cannot and will not say no to a camgirl romance. It is a new favorite of mine and I will gobble it up. I had a blast reading Filthy Twisted Devil. I wasn't expecting it to be a little of a slow burn, but holy cow... Every time Luke and Eden grew closer in their fake relationship, the tension sparked until it eventually combusted. I had so much fun getting to know them and falling for them.

Lena's writing was a lot of fun. Her characters were fantastic. I loved the setting and massive group of friends. I will say that I got a bit lost at times because I didn't know the full backstory of some of the characters. Of course we get a little bit of their individual stories, but I have a feeling I would have really loved to start the series from the beginning, which is something I now plan to do. For my first Lena Hunt book, I was very much entertained.
