The Plot Twist - Victoria Walters

 

The Plot Twist

One new boss, one ex-boyfriend, one big dilemma…

Stevie Phillips has just landed her dream job working for a publishing company and it seems like this is page one of her new, improved life.

But her first day throws more curveballs than she thinks she can handle: there’s been a takeover and the whole publicity team has been fired. And her new boss is the last face she expected to see.

Because Noah Anderson also happens to be her ex-boyfriend.

Thrown together on a campaign for a book the rest of the staff don’t want to touch with a barge-pole, Stevie resolves to make the best of a bad situation. This is her chance to prove herself, and she’s not going to let the man who broke her heart ruin it for her.

When Noah starts hinting that there was more to their break up then him just not loving her, Stevie’s resolution starts to wobble. Getting back with your ex is never a good idea, is it? Especially not when your ex is also your boss…

My Review:

A follow up to the brilliant, The Love Interest, this time we have Stevie’s story. Stevie was Liv’s friend and colleague, but it was clear she had her own story to tell so I’m so pleased Victoria Walters gave us this.

I love books about books or the book world in anyway, so this was right up my street. Stevie has landed the job of her dreams – finally but she’s nervous and keen to do well. As she walks in for her first day, she is met with staff leaving, the company being taken over and a boss that she instantly recognises – her ex. Not just any ex though, the one that broke her heart and hurt her so much.

It's awkward, uncomfortable and at times I didn’t know if this situation would work for either character but when a challenge threatens the company’s success, Stevie sticks her neck out, decides to confront old pain and do what needs to be done. Will she forgive him for the hurt he caused? Possibly but she knows she wants to make this career move a success no matter what.

A slow burn but romantic, emotive and full of passion (both for books and the opposite sex) Stevie is adamant about championing romance books, that they deserve as much recognition and attention as any other. She’s a great character, I love how cool she seems no matter what.

Noah is a puzzle at first but as the story progresses, learning more about his situation, I grew fond of him and the connection between him and Stevie.

Passions of all varieties jump off the page, it sizzles with chemistry, it shouts about the love of stories and gives all romance fans a real boost.

Brilliant!
