A witch must return to her hometown and enlist the help of the man she left behind in April Asher's sexy paranormal rom-com A Simple Twist of Fate. The quirky small Colorado town of Fates Haven is best known for one thing: the Fates Festival Finding Ceremony that guides supernatural beings to their fated mates. Thirteen years ago, Harlow "Harry" Pierce expected to be connected to Jaxon, the cougar shifter she was dating and madly in love with. When the Blue Willow Wisp instead indicated that Jaxon was destined to be with her best friend--a literal angel--Harry left town and cast a spell preventing anyone from finding her. Now the guardian of a struggling shifter teen who keeps accidentally setting things on fire, Harry moves back in with her great aunt. To have any chance of helping Grace control her burgeoning powers, Harry will have to work with Jaxon, who's now Alpha of the local shifter pack, and figure out what's going wrong with the magic in Fates Haven once and for all.
Romance fans will have a great time waiting for Harry to finally learn that Elodie and Jaxon never got together, then mend fences with the people she loved but cut out of her life for more than a decade. Add in some classic high jinks and just the right amount of smoldering, and Asher (Not Your Ex's Hexes) delivers another hit. A Simple Twist of Fate is the perfect pick-me-up for fans of Molly Harper and Juliette Cross. --Suzanne Krohn, librarian and freelance reviewer
