Twist of Fate

A Small-Town, Friends-to-Lovers Romance

By: Tia Louise

Narrated by: Sebastian York, Samantha Brentmoor

A sexy, friends-to-lovers, second-chance romance with a twist by USA Today best-selling 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-round NFL draft pick 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.

Good story

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook and the narrators were fantastic as usual with bringing the story and characters to life.

Twisted Up and Loving It

This book had me all twisted. These characters had me all twisted. Scout and Daisy need to lose each other to find each other. They gave each other the space to live their dreams but fate interfered. They just needed to catch up to what it had in mind. I loved the cringe moments, the hot moments and the moment they realized their real dream.

Taking Chances Series

Twist of Fate - A Small-Town, Friends-to-Lovers Romance (Taking Chances #2) is entertainingly sweet listen. I enjoyed the writing style and my favourite character was Melody as she stole the show when she appeared. Daisy and Scott were compelling characters who are likeable. A smexy listen.

Sebastian York, Samantha Brentmoor dual narration was everything. They became the characters and brought their story to reality.

I got more invested as the more I listened. A fun listen with awesome narrator's.

A perfect second chance!! 😍

I just loved this 😍 Scout, who we met in This Much is True, is just so swoony and charming and hot. You just can’t resist him. Which is pretty much how he feels about Daisy, someone who has been in and out of his life since they were kids. They have good times, and great moments, but have different dreams and are headed in different directions. After an amazing week, he heads off to LA to try to be in movies, while she is off to travel and find antiques. But life has a way of throwing curves and changing plans. And when they see each other again, everything changes. And they work their way back to each other. And they are just such a perfect match together ❤️ Loved their story 🥰 And I truly loved listening to Sebastian York as Scout 😍 can listen to him allll the time!! And Samantha Brentmoor as Daisy was perfect. Can’t wait for more!!

loved it

Amazing small town friends to lovers

This is the story of Scout and Daisy, a small-town romance, friends to lovers. With a chemistry they can't deny. They are both young and they have dreams that make them fall apart, Scout follows his acting career dream but when he goes back he finds himself with more things than he ever thought he will find. The story is beautiful and sweet, although it's one type of story I have read before, so the originality of it takes a star from me. I love Tia Louise books so this one was well written and had all the feelings.

Loved It

When I read, “This Much is True”, I fell in love with the character of Scout. He was kind, funny, and such a gentleman towards people. Yes, he was flirty, but never in a disgusting way. He made people feel liked and special, and although we get bits of his story in the first book, I couldn’t wait for his own book.

This one was heart-wrenching in ways that made you feel so bad for Scout. We know from The previous book that he survive through all his trials, but it’s agonizing to listen about him actually going through his trials. You hurt for him because he is such a good guy.

Just like the other book, you have additional characters that make the story a little more enjoyable with their wittiness. In this one, it’s Daisy and her best friend/cousin,Slye. Also, her dealer friend adds to the fun drama.

I think Sebastian York did a pretty good job, but I’m so used to him voicing characters that are a little bit more harsh. So, I didn’t feel the happy-go-lucky personality that Scout had portrayed in the previous book with Jason Clark voicing him. That is just a minor thing, because he really did do a pretty good job and I laughed a lot. Samantha was excellent as she was in the previous audiobook as well.

I’m hoping we get to hear about Slye’s story. Now, that would make a fun listen.

Twisted goodness

Loved the twists and turns. Such a true to life story and good steamy parts.

Perfect narration for an amazing book!

Audiobook:  Narrators - Sebastian York & Samantha Brentmoor


I rarely do rereads but when I do, I use audiobooks to do it.  This book was the most perfect audio reread I’ve done in ages!  These narrators brought to life characters that I was already in love with and gave them an additional depth that words on paper could not.  That’s the magic of audio and especially the magic of Mr. York and Ms. Brentmoor.  The further into the book I listened, the more invested I became as Daisy and Scout’s every emotion was felt through the voices of these narrators.  Highly recommend this one!



Original book review:

Oh my gosh!  Going into this book, I was already half in love with Scout, but after reading his story with Daisy I absolutely adore him!  


Daisy and Scout’s relationship began years ago and this story takes us through the years as they moved from friends in high school to having a fling for a week and finally to finding their forever.  I loved that they both always had feelings for each other even as life took them in different directions.  


This is a fun, smexy read with characters that explode off the page and that’s not counting the scenes where this couple just about incinerated my Kindle with their heat.  And holy heck are they hot!  This is also filled with intense angst as Daisy and Scout struggle with their own personal issues as well as what’s best for each other.  I laughed as much as I cried and all along the way I was swooning from one minute to the next.  


The author wraps it all up with a deliciously thrilling ending and epilogue that had me grinning and anxiously awaiting the next book.

Twist of Fate

This story is so sweet. I absolutely fell in love and the narrators definitely added to that feeling. They really brought these characters to life. This story is full of heart and definitely full of sizzle and steam. I was pulled in from the very beginning. I love the emotion and the storyline between these characters. I can't wait for more from this author and will definitely be listening to more from these narrators.
