Karly Lane has once again cemented her place as my top rural Australian romance author with Twist of Fate.

This is a heart-warming and community centered read that will stay with you long after you turn the last page. It is about being brave enough to ask for what you want, taking a leap of faith, finding yourself and dropping everything to support those closest to you when they need you.

I loved that Bel was a bookworm, it made her very relatable to those of us who love to read and had quite the giggle at her trying to manifest her perfect book boyfriend into real life.

A fabulous addition to Karly Lane's already impressive rural romance catalogue. This one will definitely touch your heart and become a firm favourite.

Another fun, light hearted engaging story from Karly Lane. I loved the main character Bel and I felt like the author wrote this character as a nod to all those readers who enjoy reading romance novels, want to work in bookstores and post book reviews and recommendations on their social media. I enjoyed the authors descriptions of all the places in the novel, especially the gorgeous apartment in the big city! I can’t wait until this book is out and I can buy a hard copy to add to my collection

Mabel Buckley is twenty nine, single and lives in a small country town called Wessex, in New South Wales and works at the general store and service station. Bel dreams of finding true love like her best friend Emma and one night she writes a list of the attributes her soulmate needs to have and what her ideal man would be.

Bel returns home after a long shift to her cottage and she likes to relax and read a swoon worthy romance novel. Bel feels like she's been caught in a rut and had more career opportunities if she had taken the plunge and left Wessex. The chance to meet new and exciting people, and men and wonders if the grass greener on the other side and will she ever know!

A reluctant Bel is a bridesmaid in her cousin wedding and she can’t believe it when the best man looks like her fictional romantic series idol Jax Lexington. Bel doesn’t hold out much hope of Jax’s double showing any interest in her and a girl can dream can’t she?

I received a copy of Twist of Fate from Allen & Unwin and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Karly Lane is one of Australian bestselling and prolific rural romance writers and once again she’s delivered a five star read. Her latest story will engage your interest from the first page and keep it and you will ride the highs and lows of Bel Buckley’s journey to finding herself, happiness and love.

Ms. Lane always has a meaning and message in her narrative and I enjoy piecing it all together. Bookworms will relate to Bel’s character and reading is the perfect way to unwind and relax, an escape from reality and life, it transports you to another place and you might develop a crush on a fictional hero and nothing wrong with having a book boyfriend and even if you're married like me.

I highly recommend Twist of Fate, and it made me laugh out loud, cry and cheer on Bel, Emma, Craig and Dean and I would love to read a sequel.

Bel has been stuck in a rut working in the same job in the local supermarket/petrol station since high school but wishes she could find a boyfriend like Jax Lexington; her book boyfriend.

She writes a soulmate list and low and behold a customer walks into the shop that fills all her requirements. She jumps at her chance for love but are things to perfect to be real?

This is another heartwarming rural romance from Karly Lane.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
