From New York Times bestselling author Kylie Scott comes the second sizzling stand-alone novel in the Dive Bar series!
When his younger brother loses interest in online dating, hot bearded bartender Joe Collins only intends to log into his account and shut it down. Until he reads about her.
Alex Parks is funny, fascinating, and pretty much everything he's been looking for in a woman—except that she lives across the country. Soon they're emailing up a storm and telling each other their deepest, darkest secrets...except the one that really matters.
When Alex pays Joe a surprise visit, however, they both discover that when it comes to love, it's always better with a twist.
Review
As someone who has dated online and eventually met her
husband online, I know all about the pitfalls of online dating. So when I read the blurb of Twist, I was sold. I had to read it. This was my first Kylie Scott novel too. I had heard a lot of praise for her novels so
I was pretty excited to dive in. And I’m
happy to say the hype held up. This book
was fantastic. It was funny, sweet and
sexy. I was entertained from beginning
to end—read it straight through in a couple of hours.
Alex is slightly broken, a bit of a mess and sassy. Out of all the characters I’ve ever read, I
think I relate to her the most. I think
there’s only one more that comes pretty close.
She’s had it rough and it’s left its mark on her. Joe is sweet, broody and sexy. I love big, tatted, and bearded guys. And I sincerely appreciated that while he was
built, he wasn’t a chiseled body. Not
all guys need to have washboard abs. I
happen to love my husband’s little pooch he’s sporting. This was a slow burn romance, the chemistry
and relationship built up from friends to lovers. It was great being able to see the connection
build. Watching the two trade witticisms
kept me giggling. The character
development was spot on; they each had backstories with strengths, weaknesses
and insecurities interwoven in. It helped
the whole story feel real and honest.
The secondary characters were fabulous too. I loved Nell, she made me smile. Pat, I wanted to hug. Some I just wanted to slap silly. Beware the feels; there is one point of the
book that I had to set my Kindle aside and breath deep, as it hit a little
close to home. There is a little bit of
drama inside. And while I understand
where the drama is coming from, it tarnished Joe for me a little bit. Still, I loved the book. I can’t believe it took me this long to read
a Kylie Scott book, now I’m going to make my husband mad at me by buying all
the books. I must have them all. I can’t wait to see what happens next at the
Dive Bar. -Peace and Love, Buxom J
