I had the privilege of listening to the audiobook of April Asher's A Simple Twist of Fate, courtesy of Dreamscape media. Isabelle Ruther and Teddy Hamilton are pros at their job and the reading of alternate chapters really kept the tale moving for me. Their phenomenal narration brought the characters to life especially with Gavin's accent!!!
At the crux of the tale is the second chance romance between Harry Pierce and Jaxon Atwood, former sweethearts of Fated Havens community. During the last fated mates ritual, thirteen years ago, Harry is heartbroken when the wisp leads her best friend to Jax, and she's been keeping her distance ever since.
Jax never had a say in the split, and Harry's anti-tracking spell made it impossible to find her. In her current avatar as caregiver for a sparky half-shifter teen, Grace, Harry returns to Fated Havens in order to ask Alpha Atwood for help, while her friend Cassie, and Grace's mom, continues the elusive search for her unknown one night stand and Grace's father, seeking answers.
What follows is a romantic comedy, with innuendoes, old hurts, repairing bonds and a lot of sizzling moments. Each arc is beautifully etched and the mystery of Grace's parentage is also engaging. I loved Harry and Jax, but am eager to check the ensuing stories between Gavin and Lenny and especially Elodie and Silas. Archer has crafted a wholesome community of characters who are supportive and make this tale a warm, cozy hug of a listen.
Thank you to Netgalley and Dreamscape media for the ARC! It was such a pleasure to enjoy!
