Twist: Off Balance, Book 4

The book lives up to the name....There are a lot of twists that is for sure. Ria is still declining physically and mentally but keeping it all in which we know just ends up exploding at some point. There are secrets that Ria is keeping. Secrets that Kova is also keeping and the dam eventually breaks....We are seeing the side of Kova that only comes out of love at this point. He is willing to do anything for Ria. He is there for her even when she is still wanting to keep him at a distance.. This book comes with all the drama and action your heart and head can and can't handle! LOL I don't think I've ever cried so much reading a damn series!The ending is in true Lucia fashion another cliffy and a lot to process. It's really hard not to love Kova and to feel for Ria too.Let's also not forget about the spice though because even though emotions are all over the place. Man, the spice scenes are WOWOWOWOW!

I had ALL THE FEELS and the last chapter had me SHOOK. SHOOK I TELL YOU.Kova would rearrange the galaxy for Ria if it was possible. I am obsessed and love how much he loves her. He takes her rage, love, and pain from her so she doesn’t have to go through it alone, and let me tell you Ria really went through it in this one."𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒆.""𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒚𝒐𝒖."I stand by what I said, Ria is one of the most determined and strong FMC I’ve met. Her journey in life and gymnastics was no where near easy and she just continues to dominate and prove everyone wrong.@lucia_franco_ can write a hell of a book. I was an actual mess but it was so so so worth it. Chapters 24-26 were some of the best chapters I have ever read. I think about them constantly and I’m pretty sure I didn’t breathe once during them.“𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖, 𝑨𝒅𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒂, 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔. 𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒖𝒑 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖.

This book took such an interesting turn. These two seemed to finally get their acts sorted out. You can certainly see the love they have for each other, it seems to override everything else for them. Then, bam, that cliff hanger at the end...(Review left on behalf of Chelsea Felver.)

When I started book 1 I was thinking wtf am I reading and why the hell am I so into it lol. But I quickly accepted the fact that I loved it and was sucked right on in. This series won't be for everyone... but im in awe! I have no words for how beautifully written it is

This was the action, drama, and love I’ve been waiting for throughout this whole series!! This was definitely the best book so far!Ria is finally getting her act together! She has definitely come to terms with what’s going on in her life health wise and though she still Ames questionable decisions at times she isn’t as negligent as she has to be. Thank goodness!!Kova is done! He is so ready to be with the woman he loves that he will do anything. When he confesses all…my heart just melted for him. He only sees Ria and he nothing else matters except her. He would give it all up for her and it makes everything else in the series make sense.The ending was intense!! So much to process! I can only imagine how this is going to effect the last book! So glad I stuck with the series and I am dying to know how it all ends for these two!

Now that Adrianna has her diagnosis, she finds herself working her body to the bone to keep the anxiety, fear, and hurt at bay. She continues to do well at her competitions, but she is starting to visibly struggle a bit with her pain. Kova is concerned for her, but after what he did, Adrianna is not running to him for support.We really get to see a whole other side of Kova in this book. He desperately wants to right his wrongs and prove to Adrianna that he can be what she needs. When he confessed his feelings to her, I about died 🥺 but of course Adrianna has her reservations even though she feels the same for him.With more and more truths coming out, it seems that life is just not working in their favor.& can we talk about those spice scenes??? Because lordyyyy, I was panting over here 😅"I made love to you last time, but this time, I need to f- you until you remember who loves you."Man, that ending. That really did it for me. The anger. The hurt. The unknown of what will happen. I am ready to dive into Dismount to get the closure Kova and Adrianna deserve.I really feel like I could feel every emotion between Adrianna and Kova. It was so beautiful but heartbreaking at the same time. The way Lucia can make me feel as if I’m a part of the story with them is just *chefs kiss*

Oh my god!!! I don’t know how I’m going to put into words how much I love this book.. this series!! Each book just takes a bit of my heart and embeds itself in my soul every time I reach the end. The love I have for this series and lucias writing will never leave me!I know this series might not be everyone’s cup of tea but if you love the drama, the spice, the forbidden/taboo love then you need these books!Now as for twist this book literally ripped my heart out ran over it with a truck then was put back into my chest 😂 so many told me that this one is their favourite of the series and I can honestly see why there was so much drama, love, tears, laughter!I always say kova is the man I hate to love but after this I whole heartedly admit that I love this man and I don’t hate it.. I’m not mad at it I’m all for it!! 😂 the things this man said just shows his love for Ria. Why do the good ones have to be fictional 😭Poor Ria this girl can’t catch a break! She’s really going to hell and back!As usual Lucia leaves me shook at the end’ girl is the queen of bombshells and cliffhangersThis book has me swooning! Giddy! Hot and bothered! Crying! Laughing! Shocked! Devastated!I will never get over the spice holy crap is it hot! The chemistry between Kova and Ria is unbelievable I will never get enough!Lucia you’ve done it again.. you’ve captured my heart made me love you and your writing even more, made me love kova and Ria more if that’s even possible

My jaw hits the floor, tears in my eyes and just rushing to read the next book. These are a must read. So much drama and angst and I just can’t put them down. I love the way the chapters just roll on without a gap, everything written is just so readable, you get sucked in to every page and you just feel addicted!

I honestly don’t know why this has been my first review of series so far.I put off reading this series’s for so long because of how much I loved Hush Hush and I didn’t think I would find better characters of people that Lucia had created. Seriously, what an idiot I was!!!I mean this is Kova ladies and gents.. Konstantin Kournakova!!!This ride of emotions, love and passion for Ria and Kova suck the soul out of you and I feel it. My heart actually beats faster when there’s an intense seen of this forbidden love about to slip up or when something devastatingly doesn’t go right for them both. But when it’s great, my god you need to buckle in for how satisfying it is to read about it.Everyone needs to know what a talent Lucia actually is with her writing and forget about those who try and shun this greatness of work. Lucia I love you and never stop being you and the worlds you create for us to read. I will forever be backing you!I’m not ready for this to end 🥲 on to the final book!!! ❤️‍🩹

Where do I start with this review?Lucia has delivered every emotion with each book in this series. I am now a big mess and I won’t be complete until I finish all the books. Even then I don’t think that I’ll ever be the same again.Another killer cliffhanger came from this book which meant I started book five late last night. I just can’t stop with these books. I eat, sleep and breathe them.Kova and Adrianna have taken over my life and I’m not mad about that. They can live in my head rent free.In this book Adrianna struggles with news she has been told and has to find the right balance for her to continue. Her dream is still to be at the olympics and she isn’t letting anything get in her way.Kova is still struggling to sort his own life out and how to explain everything to Adrianna.Kova and Adrianna’s chemistry is always 110% and this book delivers that once again.Another brilliant story in this perfect series.

This book is simply amazing. Words cannot express how much emotion there is in this book. Wow. I've literally just finished it and I'm speechless. This is my favourite book of this series. I'm so glad that book 5 is already out and I don't have to wait for more. I have a feeling I already know what is going to happen, but praying it doesn't. Love this book and series and definitely recommend!
