Kylie delivers yet another brilliant read with her prose of pure gold.

Nothing is ever easy for a Kylie Scott protagonist, especially one that steps in for his brother Eric but ends up continuing his brother's online presence. Add into the mix Alex, a quirky, fun-loving, flawed woman, having social anxiety as her middle name.

Right off the bat you know you're in for a bloomin' fab ride again, when Alex turns up at Eric's birthday party but he hasn't a clue who she is. She throws herself at him and is left reeling from everything.

What makes Kylie's book an instant hit for me is her characters. They are just like you or me, a person who could be sat next to you in a bar, on a train, at work. There is nothing trumped up about them, they carry their flaws with such normality they are such a refreshing read. Joe and Alex will resonate with me for a long time, how their relationship blossomed, their banter, hell the whole vibe surrounding Dive Bar makes it a place you want to hang out. I can't wait to return!

Another emotional rollercoaster, from laughter to tears, to earnestly wanting things to go right, wanting to smack Eric a few times for his one track mind lol. This is probably an odd analogy, but Kylie's books are like the best Disney films, you're always left with such a feel good feeling and a happy smile plastered on your face but only after you've cried a few tears along the path of the H/h finding happiness. Brilliantly written and executed, I hope to see all her books as films one day, they'd be amazing on the big screen!

I received Twist from Netgalley and the publishers, I would not hesitate recommending Twist to anybody that loves a good story along with their sexy romance, Kylie delivers it yet again and in spades. I loved every minute of Twist, can't wait for the next story!

I had the pleasure of reading an early copy of Twist the second book in the Dive series , and couldn't have been more happy. it was amazing.

This the story of Joe Collins, a sexy lumberjack and Alex Parks. After months of talking to an awesome guy, on a dating site website Alex decides to meet "Eric Collins" and travels to Seattle to meet without him knowing she is coming, but she is the one with the surprise when realizes Eric isn't the one she's been emailing instead is his brother Joe, she feels betrayed, but what would happen with this Twist will she let Joe redeem himself and walk away?

I really enjoy Joe's story, it had everything I need it in a story, it was sexy, funny and swoony, with some sad moments . but overall it was an entertaining,sexy laugh out loud story that I couldn't put down.

If you love Dirty(Dive Bar#1) you will definitely love Twist is an amazing addition to the Dive Bar series. a favorite 2017 read for sure.

This book was meh. I thought the characters were flat. I did like the H, but the h and the secondary characters did not hold my interest. The theme and story just seemed tired.

What do a humiliating case of mistaken identity, a horrible head cold, and a swoony lumber-sexual all have in common? Well, in Kylie Scott’s Twist, they’re the makings of a fantastic and magical romance that I adored from beginning to end.

Alex is a graphic designer living in Seattle who enjoys her solitary lifestyle and doesn’t see the need for a boyfriend. Meeting a man on the internet is all fun and games until she decides to surprise him. Rather than the love connection she expects, she gets the most embarrassing shock of her life. A hairy man-beast is the furthest thing from her ideal type and the last man for whom she would expect to fall.

Joe is a bartender at his brother, Eric’s, bar and works in construction with his dad. After he helps Eric set up a dating profile, Joe secretly meets and chats with a woman for months--all under the guise of being his brother. When his ‘internet friend’ actually shows up in Idaho, Joe’s ruse is blown wide open for all to see.

Gah, I just love this series! Kylie Scott has created an awesome cast of characters in the Dive Bar series, and I loved heading back to Coeur d'Alene to spend more time with them. Alex is a bit quirky, but she’s strong and feisty, and Joe is unassumingly sexy while being safe and stable. Their face-to-face relationship may have started off on the wrong foot, but once they moved past the snarky stage, I loved the depth of their relationship. I mean, banter and sarcasm are always fun, but the infrequent and quiet words from Joe were where the magic happened for me.

To sum it all up, the romance is top-notch, the friendships are fantastic, and I can’t wait for the next book! The newest addition to the series focusing on Joe and Alex was everything I could have asked for and more.

Twist is the latest installment in the highly addictive Dive Bar Series by Kylie Scott. It is a story that you don't want to miss because if HOT, sexy, tattooed, lumbersexuals are your thing, then holy smokes Joe is your (mine actually) man! I couldn't read fast enough and truly enjoyed my time spent with Joe and Alex!

After a hilarious first meeting and awkwardness after, the story takes off. Joe is a good guy and as I've said before, those are my favorite. It's just hard not to love him even after the small, ok sort of big, deception. Alex is quirky in her own way and at times a bit hard to like but by the end I was sooooo rooting for her and she totally came into her own. Joe couldn't be more adorable and I just wanted hug him when things took a huge dive.

Bottom line, if you are a fan of this author's previous work and even if you haven't read the previous book, Twist is a must read that will have smiling big in the end. Great story!

What do you get when you pair one hulking, bearded bartender and one introverted graphic designer? Answer: a slightly mismatched, yet undeniably intriguing pair of protagonists at the helm of Kylie Scott’s latest release, Twist. The second book in the author’s Dive Bar series is a strangers-to-friends-to-lovers romance about love and friendship, taking chances, and learning to trust. There’s humor. There’s drama. There’s a super steamy romance. I snickered. I cried. I fanned my blushing cheeks on more than one occasion. If you’re looking for a sexy, slow-burning romance that’ll hit you right in the feels, Twist is a must-read.

A long-distance, online romance and a case of mistaken identity isn’t exactly a conventional start to a relationship, but then again nothing about Joe Collins and Alex Parks is conventional. After commandeering his brother's online dating profile when a certain woman captures his interest, Joe becomes friends with Alex, exchanging emails for months before she spontaneously decides to meet up in person. Awkwardness ensues and their situation become even more complicated, but it’s raw and real and relatable. Their rapport is teasing with just a touch of good-natured antagonism, as if they’re attracted to each other but are almost angry about it (which is admittedly entertaining). It’s when they’re together in person that they can truly get to know each other, disregarding any pretenses or preconceived notions they each may have had about the other.

Aside from the whole lying about his identity thing, Joe is a genuinely good guy. He's nice, thoughtful, and so darn sweet that it's impossible not to swoon over him. That’s not to say there weren’t times when I wanted to shake him in the hopes he’d make up his mind and figure out what he wanted in all aspects of his life. In fact, both he and Alex had a host of personal issues they were working through. The sarcastic and cynical graphic designer is guarded and cautious when it comes to her heart, reluctant to allow anyone to get close to her. Unsurprisingly, the romance between Joe and Alex is a slow build, teasing readers with a simmering sexual tension that had me impatiently wondering will they or won't they (I was rooting for the former, obviously). Just when I was getting ready to beg one or both of these characters to make a move (I've never claimed to be a patient person), their mutual restraint seemed to snap and the sexy times commenced. The wait? Worth it.

While I went into the book expecting a lighthearted romantic comedy, I found the narrative to be intense and a bit of a tear-jerker, both with Joe and Alex’s storyline and with a subplot featuring minor characters. It changed the tone and took the book in an unexpected direction. Overall, Twist is a bit heavy for a rom-com, though it’s an emotionally-compelling page-turner that captured my attention from start to finish.

Twist is book in the Stage Dive series, but can be read as a stand-alone. I love this series, it just keeps getting better with each book and I can’t help but love these characters.
Joe and Alex ‘meet’ in person for the first time after months of talking online. This was the perfect storm from start to finish. After getting to know each other via the internet for months, when Alex decides to meet in person as a surprise, does she ever get a surprise. I couldn’t help but feel for Alex in this situation because it’s my biggest fear when it comes to having tried the online dating thing myself. I related to her so much more than I have to other characters in the past and I think it’s why I loved their story even more.
Joe, what can I say about him? I loved him because of he tries to correct his wrongs. Joe redeems himself by being friends with Alex and getting to know her all over again. I loved this part of the story because he gives Alex the chance to earn his trust again, but this time in person instead of over the internet.
Joe and Alex are endearing, they are unique in their own way and you can’t help but love them. I loved the snippets of Pat, Eric and Nell we get and it makes me want to read dive all over again, I can’t believe we have to wait until April 2018, to get book 3, but I’ll be filling my spare time with a re-read!

Kylie Scott does it again! After reading and loving Dirty I couldn't wait to get my hands on Twist to see what was in store for the broody but lovable Joe Collins.
She so didn't disappoint, Alex and Joe have been chatting for months online, but Alex thinks it's high time they meet in person. Little does she know that the man she thinks she's been talking to isn't who he says he is.
Joe having been talking to Alex for months but pretending to be his brother, has a big shock when Alex turns up at the Dive Bar as a surprise and Alex certainly gets the surprise of her life when she finds the out exactly who she's been talking to for so many months.
I loved reading how this story turned out, even though Joe lies to Alex, she decides to give him a second chance and they become close friends. I loved seeing how their friendship just bloomed from there, and also the back story of the messages that they had been sending each other over the months. It just adds more to the story and had me gripped more and more.
We get to see everyone who was in Dirty make an appearance in Twist and I got all excited when you get some unexpected other characters appear as well! A book full of laughs and angst that had me completely hooked!
4 Stars from me!

Twist
Kylie Scott

Twist is that perfect balance of sweet, savory and sexy!
Which, mixes the comical nature of Kylie Scotts writing and heck its a no brainer! #ONECLICK
But this story steals you away! Right from the get go! From what ever you were doing. Then carries you into the mystical place of banter and sarcasm! Where nothing matters other than Joe and Alex! That spark, those tales and oh that heat! Just energies the plot! Oh that Joe, that man, that gentle giant you want to climb like a tree and have his babies! SYYYY

This is the second book in The Dive Bar Series. I loved the first book, but I loved this one more. Twist has a bit more drama and angst to it. Just a little on the heavier side but still a comedy of sorts. It sucked me in from the first paragraph and I didn’t breath until it was done. Then when it was really done I was disappointed my kindle wouldn’t give me another page. There was an array of emotions in this book and I was along for the rollercoaster ride of it all. The pace, writing, and people were great.

This one starts in a different way than I thought. The way that Alex and Joe meet is completely different than I would have thought. Eric is over his online dating. He had coerced his brother into setting it up for him. Well, Joe wasn’t done with it. He liked the anonymity of it all. He forged a good online friendship with Alex and loved taking to her. They speak of everything. Except for the one thing that really mattered.

Alex finally has all the courage she needs with a subtle urge and push from her best friend Val to take the leap and go and meet him. She isn’t into relationships, ever. Boy oh boy is she in store for something completely different. Joe is a great guy, just kind of in the background most of the time. I loved him. He is kind, sweet and endearing as well as all manly man, with a big beard, and lumberjack body. *sighs* I really liked him. He has a huge heart and very personable and will simply make you swoon in his first chapter.

I enjoyed the banter and humor between Joe and Alex. Especially Alex and her hatred for Joe’s beard. Though I really don’t think it’s hate that she feels. I liked how we got to see how they met online and those conversations. I even, at moments liked Eric. I liked that you get to see some of the people for the first book, The Stage Dive series. I got Mal again, That was exciting. I loved the crossover. On top of everything this book is about family, old friends, new friendships forged and love. This was a good romance and the two leads just got each other.

Twist is the second book in the Dive Bar series and I must say that I liked it a lot more than I did Dirty. I was both excited and hesitant before starting Twist. Twist was funny, it had angst, it was sexy, and emotional. It drew me in and didn’t want to let me go.

But, unfortunately there is the dreaded but, for the first 80% of Twist I hated Alex with a passion. Luckily though there was so much other good with Joe and the rest of the gang that it didn’t take away from my enjoyment and I did begin to warm up to her and eventually liked her. Alex well Alex is a bit neurotic at times I guess you could say. Her reasons for certain events in her past were ridiculous and childish but they all added to the way she is now. Her friendship with Val was a beautiful thing and I am glad that Ms. Scott brought that into the story because it showed not only the depth that she could care for someone but also brought light to what people still don’t always understand.

Joe, oh sweet stupid Joe. I forgive you for the whole pretending to be your brother thing but man you and Alex are like oil and water at times. The back and forth insults, the banter, all of it was strangely a form of foreplay. Joe was sweet and sexy and caring but still a bit of a stubborn man but he just really was a good guy deep down and had a heart of gold. Although I did want to slap him upside the head a time or two but even then I couldn’t stay mad at Joe. Joe was exactly what Alex needed.

Now when something happens, it is so tragic and heartbreaking that I had to set my kindle down to cry. No I will not say what happened because I won’t spoil it but that added angst and the emotions it draws out from deep inside your heart and soul was painful but gave the plot that added depth. There are also a couple of favorite characters that make an appearance and I loved the scenes with them in it.

Twist renewed my love for Kylie Scott and made me want to continue on with this series. This is a book that I can easily recommend!

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 the outside world, she decides to step out of her comfort zone to meet him. Eric is beginning to mean something to her, and she just has to see him in person. She decides to be spontaneous, & buys a ticket to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. She plans to show up at his birthday party and surprise him. When Alex shows up to meet the hot guy she's been emailing, she soon learns he has no clue who she is.

Joe Collins set up an account for his younger brother Eric on a dating site. When his brother loses interest & decides he doesn't want the account anymore Joe tells him he will shut it down for him. Then he spots Alex Parks, & they begin talking. She's funny & beautiful, and he immediately gets sucked in. He looks forward to talking to her, & it's often the highlight of his day. When Alex shows up in the Dive Bar where he bartends, the jig is up, & his big secret is revealed.

Joe wants Alex to stay in Idaho for a few days & figure out what's between them. They shared chemistry online, & he just wants the chance to get to know her in person, even if it's just as friends. He liked talking to her & has grown to care about her.

Alex is shocked that the man she thought she was talking to is someone else. Instead of Eric, it's a huge, blond, Bigfoot lumber sexual with a beard and tattoos. He's totally not her type, even though her libido hasn't got the memo yet. Clearly the guy is hot, with his big muscles & long golden mane, but she's more into pretty boys wearing a suit & tie.

Joe convinces her to stay a few days & spend some time together since she's already there. She's extremely attracted to his body, & his kindness also gets to her. He's so sweet & eventually her walls all crumble, and they give in to their lust for one another.

Alex's plans of not wanting to get involved with anyone go right out the window as she falls for Joe. Being with him is so easy & they just click, until circumstances have Joe pulling away. Just as Alex begins opening herself up to the possibility of more, things get complicated between them. Then there's the fact they live in different states. Will love conquer all?

I loved this book & adore this series! Joe Collins is a sinfully sexy bearded hottie with a heart of gold. This man is so gentle & swoon worthy. I fell hard for him from the start. Can't wait for Eric's book up next!

Imagine yourself in one of the worst, most embarrassing scenarios to meet a stranger and you'll have a slight inkling as to how Alex feels when she walks into the Dive Bar to finally come face-to-face with Eric Collins, the guy she's been emailing back and forth with for several months. She thought it'd be a great idea to surprise him...on his birthday. Except that it wasn't Eric in those emails but his brother Joe who was pretending to be Eric all along. And Joe doesn't look like Eric with the gorgeous face that she fell for. You know what she is? Mortified. The universe is playing a horrible joke on her. So now she's stuck alone in this town for the night realizing what a horribly bad decision this was. She intends to be on the first flight out but is thwarted when she comes down with the flu and has to stay on a few extra days until she gets better. So who plays nurse for her? Joe, the very guy who humiliated her. This cruel universe is really having a laugh now! He works for her forgiveness and tries to undo the damage he caused. She becomes less angry as she sees a man who has ambition, motivation and is loyal to a fault. Pretty soon she's falling for him and he for her and well ...sexy times.

While the story does give way to some heavy moments - in a couple cases heartbreaking - Twist offers Kylie Scott's trademark humour and shenanigans. The first chapter is set up so perfectly: I winced and cringed because everything about it spelled doom. Naturally, I LOVED it! Trust Scott to dream up with these blundering entrances. The best part is that her characters are able to shake them off and come back stronger. And of course there's heat. I particularly enjoyed Alex's internal monologue whenever she felt herself being drawn to Joe's natural charisma and his hot body. Let's not forget that. Eventually it's like, "Eric who?" for her. As always, our two main characters are surrounded by an amazing group of friends and there's even a special appearance by a fan favourite.

Twist was a quick read for me because when it comes to Kylie Scott - whom I have dubbed my fairy Godmother of Fun - I go crazy and devour her books immediately. Twist is an entertaining extension of the Stage Dive series that dips its toes a little into that world but avoids the over-the-top lavishness of the rocker lifestyle while still keeping it in the family. Every time I had to reluctantly put the book down I couldn't wait to dive back into it. Yes, pun intended. Trust me, it's oh so awesome ;-)

Y’all are going to have to bear with me on this one. I intend to fangirl. If anyone is offended by the occasional squeal of girlish glee, quit reading now.

If you read any of our weekly lists, you’ll notice that Kylie Scott pops up quite often. And like all her other books, I loved the first book in this series, Dirty. Knowing all of this, I’m sure you won’t be at all surprised to find out that I loved (like read-and-repeat LOVED) Twist.

Overall, Twist is a hilarious, sweet, emotional, friends-to-lovers romance. There are few authors out there who can make a reader laugh out loud, swoon, and sob all in the course of one book. Kylie Scott is one of those authors and I love her for it.

Alex is great heroine. She’s hilarious, smart, snarky, and fiercely independent. Her inner dialogue about Joe in the beginning was priceless.

"Lumbersexuals were clearly the worst. Truth was, I'd never been especially into beards. At best, I'd been indifferent. Now, however, I outright despised them. Horrible hair frames for lying lips and duplicitous tongues, that's what they were. Loathsome whiskery bastards. Burn them all in a fire."

I also ADORED Alex’s best friend, Val, who helped push Alex into seizing the day with Joe. (And side note to the author: If you ever decide to write Val’s story, I will one-click the hell of that thing. Just sayin’)

"You're going to end up like one of those crazy cat ladies with your apartment smelling of piss and regret."

And Joe (who totally looked like Thor in my head while I was reading) was a big, muscle-y, alpha, lumbersexual teddy bear who I think is destined to become many a gal’s favorite book boyfriend in the days to come. ​​

"Yes. You're right, there's no excuse for such a willful act of bastardry and I definitely deserve to be castrated and burn in hell for all eternity. Um. Who did you say you were again?"

With all that said, I’m going to cut this review short before I totally lose my reputation as a soul-crushing, book reviewing bitch. Just...get to your Kindles, folks. One-click all of Kylie Scott’s books. You won’t regret it. That is all.

Full disclosure: We received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I have been living in the world that Kylie Scott created for the past few days. I have enjoyed getting to know the gang at The Dive Bar. Each book in the series focuses on a different couple. In Twist, we get to read Joe's story. We briefly met Joe in Dirty, but really get to know him and his swoony side in Twist.

So when I started Twist, I was super confused by the storyline and how this book would play out. But I have to tell you, I am so glad that stuck with it and let it play out.

Alex is an introvert of sorts that strikes up an online relationship with Eric (Joe's bother). As she emails back and forth with Eric, she slowly starts to fall in LIKE with him. She decides to step out of her comfort zone and surprise him at his bar, The Dive Bar. Little did she know that Eric not only doesn't like her, he doesn't even know who she is.

Joe is tired of watching his brother go through woman like they are nothing. He feels like he is the brother that isn't good enough. So when he creates an online profile and assumes the identity of his brother, Eric. He begins dialog with Alex and quickly finds that he too is in LIKE with her.

Everything comes to a head when Alex shows up at Eric's bar and Joe is forced to reveal that he is Eric online and the Eric that Alex thought she knew never existed, Or did he?!?!

I loved reading how the relationship between Joe & Alex went from like online to hate in real life to finally love. This was a sweet story that swept me away. It was the perfect series at the perfect time in my life.

Thank you Kylie Scott for allowing me to escape into this world that you created for a few days. Between Dirty & Twist, I feel like part of the gang! I am so looking forward November 2017 when we finally get the REAL Eric's love story with Jean in Chaser. Getting to know these two within the first two books has been fun. I really hope that they can find their HEA!

I adored Dirty, the first book in the Dive Bar series, but Twist ended up being one of those highly anticipated books that didn’t measure up to my expectations. Don’t get me wrong, there were parts of Twist I liked, especially the trademark humor of Ms. Scott, but the actual relationship between Joe and Alex was a letdown.

In fact, for the majority (about the first 70% or so) I enjoyed the book. It was clicking along, a solid 3.5 to 4 star for me. I loved spending time with the Dive Bar family and getting to know them better. I thought it was a bit slow, but I also found myself smiling a lot so I was okay with things.

Joe was a bit too laid back and nice for me. He seemed to have a need to take care of everyone but himself and had an inability to say no. I can’t say I’m all about heroes who constantly let themselves get taken advantage of. He was nice enough though, and the way he tried to get Alex to forgive him for the entire stolen identity, psychic stripper incident was entertaining me, so I just rolled with it.

Alex was somewhat of an introvert preferring to stay at home, indoors, letting life pass her by. She was also very scared of having a relationship or even friends of any kind except her best friend. We were tempted and teased with some horrible event in her past that made her this way. When the truth was finally divulged, my comment was “That’s her secret as to why she’s anti-people? Sigh.”

Still, I was reading along, smiling and laughing in places, until a heartbreaking incident happens that brings the entire dive bar family down low. In the midst of this, Joe decides to turn into a huge freaking douchenozzle and I just wanted to slap him. And don’t even get me started on his ex and how he handled that. As for Alex, she just decided to be a huge doormat and a clingy one at that. The way she kept throwing herself at Alex had me screaming at my iPad “OMG, have some self-respect!”.

The story went so downhill for me, by the last page I didn’t care about Joe and Alex, in fact, I was more invested in all the drama between Nell and Pat. The thing is, no matter how disappointed I am with the main characters of this book, I know I will be impatiently waiting for the next installment.

Alex Parks is still harbouring a grudge against the boy that broke her heart at the age of twelve. She would prefer to stay inside of her Seattle apartment with little interaction from anyone or anything other than Marty - the neigbourhood squirrel.

The one time she decides to take a risk and meet the guy that she has been emailing for ages, she finds herself enduring one of the most embarrassing moments of her life.

The pretty boy named Eric she thought she was pouring her heart out to is really none other than his rough-around-the-edges brother. And now she’s stuck in Idaho with a serious case of the flu and a brand new appreciation of all things Lumbersexual.

“But you said—”
“Forget about what I said. And stop saying sex.”
Joe just stared at me.
“I thought you were trying to start something. I mean, you can’t blame me for thinking this is a setup.” Curling my feet up beneath me I leaned forward, ready to attack. Or defend. Or something. “Somethings wrong with Nell’s heat, seriously?”
He grabbed the back of his neck. “Shit. Alex, it’s okay. No need to be embarrassed.”
“And Eric was in the shower? That story is so lame, it’s like something out of a bad porn film. You might as well tell me you’re the pool boy,” I said, packing in all the scorn I could manage. “I’m not your type, remember? Then you come over here, parading yourself in front of me like some lumbersexual gigolo. So that yet again I get led on and wind up looking like a complete idiot! What kind of sadistic near-naked asshole are you?”

Joe Collins though his identity switch was harmless. After all, he actually likes talking to her and she’ll never find out. But here she is – standing right in the middle of Dive Bar and she’s everything that he thought she would be and so much more.

He agrees to her offer of being “just friends’ but the more time they spend together, the hotter the fire burns – and he just wants enough time to show Alex that sometimes the greatest risk comes with the greatest reward.

“I think I’m dead.”
The jerk pinched me on the ass.
“Ow.”
“Still alive,” he said.
I retaliated by pinching one of his nipples.
“Damn it, woman.” He grabbed my hand, holding it captive in his. “Enough. I surrender. Let’s be friends.”
I don’t know how long we stayed like that, glued together. Neither of us seemed inclined to move. After a while, I may have even fallen asleep. The man was just comfortable, plus I was exhausted. Ever so gently, my hair was brushed back from my face. A finger traced the sensitive rim of my ear. “Complicated,” said the man.
Had I been more awake, I’d have agreed.

​Okay.  I’m just going to say it. Joe Collins is now my favourite Dive Bar hero! He is as sweet as he is gorgeous and that rare combination is just one of the many reasons that this book so special. 
 
I also related to Alex on a very real level.  I think most modern women have an inner voice that guides them and Kylie captures it with surprising sincerity and wit.
 
Twist is much more than just another installment in the Dive Bar series – it’s the heart and soul…
