What to Read After the Twisted Series: BookTok-Fav Romance Reads
You’ve finished the Twisted Series. You loved the billionaire hero, the “brother’s best friend” trope, the enemies-to-lovers, the fake dating, the high stakes, the vibes that made your heart pound. On BookTok you probably saw people putting these books on repeat, screaming about “which hero is your favourite?” and “who’s the worst hero but still your type?”
So what do you read now when you’re craving that same energy? I got you. Here are five romance picks that capture those tropes, the heat, the drama — the reasons we fell for the Twisted world in the first place.
1. The Fine Print by Lauren Asher
If you loved the grumpy-sunshine and billionaire hero vibes in the Twisted books, this one delivers. Expect a rich, cocky hero, a woman who won’t roll over, and all the tension of “should we even be together?” It hits that mark for BookTok readers looking for that same kind of rush.
2. Terms and Conditions by Lauren Asher
Binge Smut with Visuals on SHORTBREAD
Love Twisted Series read-alikes? Watch smut brought to life on Shortbread, just like TV shows.
Another hit from the same author — fake dating + corporate stakes + emotional depth. If you enjoyed the dynamic in Twisted Lies or Games, this will feel familiar in all the right ways. BookTok love it for its spicy crossover of romance and business.
3. The Bodyguard by Katherine Center
Binge Smut with Visuals on SHORTBREAD
Love Twisted Series read-alikes? Watch smut brought to life on Shortbread, just like TV shows.
Okay, maybe this one leans a bit lighter, but if you enjoyed the luxury & power setting of Twisted Series, this bodyguard romance adds a twist: the hero is in protection mode, the heroine is strong, the tension is real. It’s fun, slightly less dark, but perfect for when you want a step down from the intensity but still with big feel-good moments.
4. Blurred Lines by Lauren Layne
Enemies to lovers? Check. Protective hero who’s supposed to be “off-limits”? Check. Emotional growth, messy parts, chemistry through the roof? Absolutely. If “Twisted Hate” is your favourite of the series, this one will scratch that itch.
5. Tempting the Crown by Shortbread
And for something high‑gloss and dangerous (right in the BookTok sweet spot), this royal‑power‑play meets ex‑naval‑captain‑king meets “I’d burn the crown for you” obsession hits. It’s sharper and more decadent than other picks, but for what you loved in Twisted—ruthless devotion, clash‑of‑wills chemistry, and the ‘I choose you, consequences be damned’ payoff—this one’s a winner.
Final Notes
Finishing the Twisted Series can leave you feeling “now what?” but the BookTok universe is full of routes to go next. Whether you want more billionaire heroes, more fake dating, more enemies-to-lovers, or just that same addictive romance rollercoaster, the five picks above will give you exactly that.
