Through this dating system, we learn that it has Part of that something different has to do with the world Brett has created (which is sort of medieval, but this is a world which has been blasted back to this state from a more modern era by the onslaught of corelings/demons). Full Review on The Candid Cover So, This Is Christmas by Tracy Andreen is a feel-good romcom filled with misadventures and Christmas cheer. The main character is easy to root for, and the book’s setting of Christmas, Oklahoma is vividly described, making for an immersive reading experience.

4 stars!!!
Twist is the second book in Kylie Scott's Dive Bar series. I loved it! This story was highly entertaining and the characters were completely endearing.
Joe Collins and Alex Parks 'meet' for the first time when Alex decides to come out of her shell and meet her online pen-pal who she met on a dating site months ago. You see, Joe and Alex have become very close in these months. They get along so well, and everything is supposed to be perfect when they meet... but there is one very big

Best to fall in love with a personality than looks
I know I talk about my hubby a lot in my reviews and that’s because he’s my own true love story. Well, in this case, reading Twist was a wee bit close to home. See, when I first met my hubby he did not look like the guys I had previously gone out with. For starters, he had shockingly bad taste in clothes…hello, Tazzie Devil tie (shudders). He also grew his hair past his ears…I was a short back and sides type of girl. At the time his worst offence

➦Kylie Scott's books have been a hit or miss for me ever since I've read her Stage Dive series. And even Mal from Play- love him to bits -couldn't save this book for me with his little appearance at the end.
➦And this is really purely a personal issue here, a lot of people have and will enjoy this book just fine. The writing is great, the story flows well and the pace is good. My primary beef, so to speak, is with the characters. While I have remained somewhat neutral towards them for the first h

I truly enjoyed this story the twist was cute and the characters were all entertaining. The hero Joe and heroine Alex have a well established friendship and their fall into love was very believable. The story starts when Alex takes a chance to meet the man she’s been chatting with on line in person. Though things don’t go as she has planned she does decide to stay for a bit.

My starved libido was well beyond the rough-and-tumble stage. No more hiding or denying, sticking to the sidelines of life. It was my time to step forward and be brave. When it came to Joe Collins, I was more than ready to say yes.

It's official. Kylie Scott has another winning series. And here I thought nothing will ever beat her Stage Dive series. Well, move over Mal, because I have another blonde beast that I'm crushing on. He's big, he's bearded, he's broody, and he makes

Alex finally works up the courage to meet the man she's been chatting with online for months so she heads to his bar to surprise him. Only the surprise ends up being on her when she learns Eric has no idea who she was, and it wasn't him she was talking to but his brother Joe.
It all started innocent. Joe wanted to try and get his brother interested in his online dating profile again so he took over chatting with Alex. Then he just never stopped since he enjoyed th

Aw, was the poor asshole embarrassed? My heart bled for him.

Kylie Scott, where have you been all my life?
Going out of her comfort zone and visiting her online-crush on his birthday wasn't probably a smart move but Eric hasn't responded to any of Alex' mails in a week. Turns out, the guy Alex thought she had been talking to for half a year doesn't know her. It was his brother, the ruggedly handsome, bearded, long-haired and so-not-her-type Joe. She is furious and determined to fly back home on

I am a fan of Kylie Scott and I loved her Stage Dive series, especially PLAY, with the awesome hero Mal 😊
I read the first book in Dive Bar series (Dirty) a long while ago and gave it 4 stars, enjoying it quite a deal.
Now, I am sorry but I need to say it, this second book in the series, Twist, is one of the worst romance books ever, with borderline dislikable characters and a torturing plot line. It is just horrible! Even the appearance of Mal cannot save the book

Apart from embarrassing scene at the beginning the book was ok.
But the last 20% ruined my illusion of an independent/strong heroine.
The story should have ended with 2nd chapter when she decided to go back home.
The hero was a bit meh. I didn't get till the end why he lied to her and pretended to be his brother as they chatted online.
Totally unnecessary OW drama with his ex.
Totally unnecessary drama with the accident and (view spoiler)[baby death. (hide spoiler)]

Alexandra Parks is a 29 yr. old graphic designer from Seattle. She's sort of been a hermit for years. She never puts herself out there or takes chances romantically. She avoids intimacy & prefers her life uncomplicated. She doesn't do relationships, but she's been talking to a gorgeous man on the internet named Eric Collins. She's crushing on him hard & they seem to share a strong connection. They've been talking for months through emails. Even though Alex is somewhat terrified of th

Great second book with lots of drama, angst, sex and friends & family. It didn't start the way I thought it would, and I was confused for a couple minutes. Joe and Alex were great working out their issues with lots of help from the Dive Bar crew. Plus snarky Mal from Stage Dive makes an appearance along with some band members.
Here's hoping the next book is Nell (bless her heart in this book) getting back with Patrick and not brother Eric's HEA.

This is the kind of book you read when you need something happy. It's that story that will put a smile on your face no matter what mood you're in. It's like a great chocolate cake after a hard day at work.
The bad part is that it's pretty forgettable, the other one was a bit better. It's pretty typical as far as the plot goes, the writing style is what makes it special. In probably a few weeks/months, I'll have no idea what happened in this book, but I'll remember I really liked

It’s not very often you read a romance which involves a heroine with a phobia of intimacy. In many respects Alex Parks goes against the grain with what to expect from a leading lady. She can count her friends (one of them being a squirrel) on one hand, and she’s in her element locked away at home with no human contact for days on end.

Twist was a little bit of a mixed bag for me, and whilst I loved what lay in the centre, what supported it either side went from from one extreme to another, starting little bit steady, and leading to an implosion of WTF-are-you-doing? sized proportions. But what I like about Kylie Scott is how she steps away from stereotype and this makes her characters loveable, frustrating and everything in between--much more attractive all round as far as I'm concerned.
