Body and Soul: Twist of Fate, Book 3

Body and Soul is the story of Jake, who we first met in Lost and Found, and Oz who was introduced at the end of Safe and Sound. Well, and also BooBear, but mainly Jake and Oz. In Lost and Found it was pretty clear that there was a lot of mystery surrounding Jake and his past. I was really looking forward to his story and finding out just what was going on. I was NOT disappointed. Let me tell you. Jake starts off a bit prickly and standoffish toward Oz. And I kept telling myself to cut him some slack because I know he has a reason, even if I don't know what it is of course. And I know from reading Lucy and Sloane that It'll be a good reason. But I did admittedly direct a few huffy sighs his way, thinking just tell poor Oz what's going on, it can't be as big of a deal as he's making it. Well, I'm not giving you any spoilers, but I will reassure you that his behavior and his reason were justified. So Jake, here is a big apology from me to you for all of the huffs and pointed looks. Oz is just this wonderful, adorable, hilarious guy, with a big big heart, that I wish I could be friends with. That's not to say that Jake wasn't also likable, lovable, funny and awesome. But he was reserved while Oz just let his Oz light shine bright right from the start.If you've read the other two books, you'll absolutely want to read this one. If you haven't, I definitely recommend you do, but I don't think it's absolutely necessary. Yes, Xander and Bennett and Lucky from the first story are in this one a little bit. Yay! And Ash and Aiden from the second make an appearance. But it's told in such a way that you don't need their stories to enjoy this one. But those stories are pretty awesome so you might as well just start at the very beginning. It's a very good place to start :) But if you're a rebel, and don't like being told how to live your life, then no worries you should absolutely still fully enjoy Body and Soul. I can't imagine you wouldn't.Lucy Lennox and Sloane Kennedy are two authors that are amazing at making me happy even in the midst of difficult real life...life. I laugh out loud, literally, I get sore cheeks from big stupid grins. My heart gets all full and squishy from all of the love and happy feels. The fan gets turned on when temperatures start to rise **wink, wink** And -and this is really pretty significant- they manage to get past my emotional barriers that fight for all their worth to not cry or feel the bad feels. I highly recommend Body and Soul, all of the Twist of Fate series and really anything and everything written by either author.

I really love how serious Sloane can be. She is usually pretty serious and emotionally driven in her stories.. whereas Lucy is hilarious. Lucy can construct a well thought out plot but from my experience it not usually very serious. So their team up has been hitting all my marks. Emotion with a side of snark and danger. I really liked this one. I did feel a bit of a disconnect but that have been fall out from the previous novel. This one was great though. Jake is secluding himself for his and others safety. He doesn’t allow himself much. But he cannot deny Ozy. Ozy who is sweet and naive and beautiful…. While also secretly famous.

My Review:I love this series, but I think this has been my favorite book in it so far. Oz and Jake are just such an unlikely couple, but that's what makes them so much fun together.In the beginning, Oz is super high maintenance. He's an elite model, but he's here trying to prove something to himself and to others who've underestimated him. But it's a really steep learning curve since he's living pretty much in the wilderness with only Jake between him and a lot of trouble.But Jake wants NOTHING to do with Oz. While the guy is gorgeous, he's also a lot of trouble that Jake can't handle. He's not a guy made for commitment or even a fling. He can't get attached. Jake is a mysterious conundrum. It's obvious fairly quickly in the book that something has happened in his past that he's running or escaping from. He doesn't talk about anything personal...at all.There were a lot of twists and turns to the story and quite a bit of action that I wasn't expecting. I loved that.It's a great book. I definitely fell in love with both Jake and Oz. They're amazing characters. I definitely recommend this one.

Oz and Jake were so good together! And who doesn't love a dog added to the mix as well! Well written well thought out plot and wonderful storytelling. The book just flows so easily and definitely holds your attention. I love catching up with other couples from the series. I thought Oz was so adorable ,sweet and funny!I would definitely read books in order for full enjoyment!

I had a hard time coming up with the words for this review, not wanting to repeat what was said in my reviews for the first two of the Twist of Fate series. So that leaves me with this: I love this book. It's funny, suspenseful, passionate and touching. The first two books are wonderful, but I think this one is even better. Jake and Oz are such different people but mesh beautifully, forming a couple that is at once quirky and responsible, outgoing and reserved. Their personalities and the insight into their hearts and minds make it easy to fall in love with both of them. The secondary characters from the previous books support the storyline and give a nice look into their lives since the end of their books.Lucy Lennox and Sloane Kennedy have done it again. Their collaborations continue to produce people, places, and situations that readers can relate to while representing each authors perspective.I am looking forward to whatever comes next from these authors, both together and apart.

I was ready for bloody Jake's story and it didn't disappoint. Oz is the cutest! Snow tires option...lol...I laughed so hard. Boobaby, how cute.

Oz and Jake pure lustfill chemisteryNot to mention the make shift family of the group of men in Haven made me envious of their bond. But Lucky is my guy and I cant wait to read his story.
