Critic reviews

"Basham weaves a unique tale sure to please the romantic at heart." (Denise Hunter, best-selling author of Married 'Til Monday)

Nothing I expected, but everything I needed

I didn’t want this book to end! I very much enjoyed the banter, the wit, the characters, and the romance! Perfect balance of entertainment and heart. Count me as a Pepper Basham fan for life!

This Was a Great Story with Great Narration!

I enjoyed this story tremendously! A Twist of Faith is the third book by Pepper Basham that I have read, and I have loved each one! In this case, I listened to the audiobook version of the story. I thought that the narrator did a fabulous job with the various accents and dialects of these characters. She had a very soothing voice that added to the feeling of being in rural Appalachia.

As for the story, when the book began I wasn’t very fond of Dr. Adelina Roseland. She seemed a bit stuck up and had preconceived notions about many things. I wondered why she acted as she did. Of course, the author proceeded to do a beautiful job of opening up who this character was, which allowed me to understand her backstory. I ended up loving Adelina!

As for Reese Mitchell, he had me from the get go! What a terrific character! Now, he had his faults, too. He carried around some baggage that got in the way a time or two, but he had an amazing heart and was such a good dad to his kids.

A Twist of Faith is now a top favorite of mine. I look forward to reading or listening to the next book in the series. And if you are looking for an enjoyable audiobook to listen to, I definitely recommend this one.

Twist on Pygmalion

4 years have passed since I first read this book. I've enjoyed my return visit to Ransom, Virginia, and the Mitchell family. Re-reading and listening to the audio version, this beautiful story of healing, forgiveness, faith, family, and romance still touches my heart. ❤

You have to let go of the past and forgive those that hurt you so they don't steal the joy from your present.
Every character in this story is so well written and real. If I could sit in Daphne's restaurant and have dinner, I would recognize them when they came in.

Suzie Althens does a wonderful job with the narration.
