BLURB
A sexy, friends-to-lovers, second-chance romance with a twist by USA Today bestselling author Tia Louise.
To be “just friends” with a guy, you’ve got to follow The Rules:
Don’t touch him unnecessarily.
Don’t share your intimate dreams with him (even if he asks).
Don’t kiss him, and definitely don’t sleep with him.
Scout Dunne and I have been “just friends” since childhood.
He’s everything you could want—sexy, charming, confident—every girl’s wet dream.
Until we broke The Rules.
We broke them in the ocean, in my aunt’s bathroom, in my bed…
It was the hottest week of my life.
I’m one of the few people who knows the first-draft NFL star wants more than a life of sports.
Because we’re friends, right?
Not anymore.
Now he’s gone, and I’m trying to get my career back on track.
Mamma said a guy would never put your dreams ahead of his.
But the twist of fate?
It’s something you never see coming.
(TWIST OF FATE is a STAND-ALONE friends-to-lovers, single-parent romance. No cheating. No cliffhanger.)

Scout
“It’s been a long time since we danced together.”
She doesn’t look up, but her smile grows. “It was homecoming, first dance of the year.”
“And the last. I still can’t believe you didn’t go to prom with me. All high school romances end at the prom.”
Her nose curls. “We were not a high school romance.”
“We might’ve been. The high school quarterback, all around hot guy who falls for the quiet, bookish future librarian. It’s the perfect setup for a movie.”
“All-around hot guy…” Her brown eyes roll adorably, and I’m glad the tension seems to have melted. “I’m not a future librarian.”
“I know.” I think about that night. “You did promise to have my back, though.”
“Until you broke the rules and kissed me.”
“It was a really good kiss. We should try it again to see if we’ve still got it.”
She steps out of my arms. “I’ve got a job to finish. Then I’m leaving Fireside.”
“Okay.” I shrug. “I’m not going to be here for long. Maybe we could pass the time together. Hang out.” I lean down to catch her eye. “What do you say, Tink?”
“Tink?”
“Tinkerbell. You remind me of her.”
“Does that make you Peter Pan, the eternal man-child?”
“I’m no child.” It comes out a bit hungrier than I intended, and her cheeks turn red so fast.
Should I say oops? I’m sure as hell not taking it back.
“I’ve got to go.”
She does it, too. She walks off, leaving me alone on the dance floor...

I really wanted to love Scout and Daisy's story but Twist of Fate just didn't do much for me. I adored Scout in his brother J.R.'s book and had high hopes for this novel. I struggled a lot with the timeline of this book and how/where it fit with J.R.'s story. Even after finishing the read, I'm still confused on that! The book was good but didn't wow me. It had it's moments though, which is what kept me invested until the end.
Daisy's character was great. I liked her personality and her crush on Scout that continued long after they were kids. I loved Scout's outgoing nature with a side of nerdy. I thought these two characters meshed so well together and had some serious heat! I loved everything about this story until Daisy let me down in the biggest way. Her choices/actions were not cohesive with the character that Tia had built up. I was extremely disappointed in the turn the book took and I think that left a bitter taste in my mouth for the remainder of the read. Scout deserved better.
While I did like the way the characters always seemed to find their way back to each other, it felt somewhat unrealistic and forced the last time. Scout just rolled with the punches and accepted everything with zero push back. I wanted these two to make it work, trust me I did, but Daisy was let off WAY too easy.
I adored Melody's spunky personality and how she was a wonderful mash up of her parents. I appreciated that the author created a young character, but didn't utilize "baby talk" (which I loathe in romance reads). It made me like the football princess even more.
The epilogue confused me. The timing of it all still has me scratching my head. I think I need a visual timeline or something to make sense of everything.
