"I have never read a mafia/stalker romance style book that was so hilarious. A Twist of Fate by Shai Lenore is one of the easiest five star reads I’ve had this year. There’s stalking and kidnapping in this story. Cayson had an abusive father and Frankie had an addict of a mother. There’s darkness found in each other. He falls first and they find their own little family in this story.<br/> Cayson and Frankie literally run into each other in a bookstore. After this meet cute, Cayson realizes that Frankie is to be his no matter what. He has his men who are his best friends keep tabs on Frankie as he tries to figure out a way to develop a relationship with her. After Frankie finds out her boyfriend was cheating on her with her best friend, she decides to leave him in and go camping until she can figure out what else to do. On the way, some enemies of Cayson attempt to murder Frankie. Cayson’s men rescue Frankie and Frankie gets to officially meet one of her stalkers. Afterwards, Cayson and Frankie decide how to learn more about each other while trying to find out who’s after Frankie. Frankie becomes a part of the family by building friendships with Sam, Jonas, Caleb and Sarah. Frankie shows Cayson in the end that she’s there for him through darkness and light and Cayson keeps her safe. The story ends in love and family. <br/> My favorite thing about this story is the character Sam. He’s hilarious and I identify with him so much. He’s a great friend and protective of those he cares about. He is a talker, and he does so all with an air of confidence and ease. He welcomes Frankie and even has a cute little nickname of Creature for her. He recognizes Cayson’s vulnerabilities and tries to help him as best as he can even with advice on how to be a good boyfriend.<br/> I rate this story a 5 out of 5. I have no complaints about this book. I finished it all in one sitting which was less than 3 hours. It was amazing and I can’t wait to read more by Shai Lenore! <br/>"

"This story picks up with August and his missing wife Rosie. At first I was skeptical but I’m glad I continued on. So well written with many twists and turns. It’s like a time travel mystery. But less about the travel and a focus on what it was like being away 5 years."
