Book #1
My Review: 4.5 Stars
I really enjoyed this book. When I began reading it took a few pages to get into the story, then it really took off for me. I lost track of time while reading during parts of it. In fact this morning I woke up and picked up the book to read for a moment and two hours went by before I realized it! There were just a few minor editing issues but nothing that distracted from the story for me. At first I didn't warm to the character of Lexi, up until she and Matt began their friendship. After that, I began really began to like the character and the witty banter she had with Matt and Alex both. Alex is dreamy of course as the bad-boy rockstar and I liked how he had a tough exterior that hid his bottled up sweetness. The band members were fun with their snarky comments and flirty exchanges. Hannah was a great side character as well and I thought she and James were adorable. I became frustrated with Lexi at times and wanted to scream some sense into her but that's what makes a great story to me, when I can get emotionally involved that way. The ending party scene was a lot of fun and a perfect way to close out this book. I look forward to reading more from this author.

SYNOPSIS:
Twisted Views delves deeper into the world of Lexi
Reed, the feisty, career driven heroine from A Twist of Fate. This companion
novella gives us additional information, backstories and insights of the main
players told to us by the characters themselves.
A Twist of Fate pulled us effortlessly into the
world of Lexi Reed - the feisty, smart, sexy and career driven PR manager whose
world was turned upside down when she met and began representing her favourite
rock band, Power Station. This opportunity of a lifetime not only capitulated
Lexi into a new and exciting world but onto a hot and steamy path with Alex
Stone, the band's lead guitarist. Their passion simmered as they tired to
maintain their secret relationship, leaving both Alex and Lexi wanting more
than the "no strings, sex only" agreement they had negotiated. Hearts
and rules were broken as Lexi learned the hard way, you can't negotiate with
emotions, least of all love.
In this companion novella, we get to examine what
has happened behind the scenes from different perspectives, told to us by the
characters themselves. Through the eyes of Alex and others we get a clearer
view of how Lexi's arrival affects not only dynamics of the band but their
personal relationships with her and each other. We get to know the main players
more intimately as we are given access to interviews and personal accounts,
learning not only about them and what makes them tick but how their world has
changed since Lexi's arrival.
A Note from the Author:
I am an independent author from Melbourne,
Australia my debut novel was released August 27th, 2013. Tired of not being
able to identify with the current leading ladies portrayed in the fiction I was
reading I set out to create a story with a strong, independent and confident
young woman. The story is fast paced and follows Lexi Reed a smart, sassy
brunette who dominates in her chosen career field while still being sexy and
feminine. She pulls no punches, isn't afraid to kick some butt, boasts a
spectacular designer wardrobe and has a major weakness for shoes. A Twist of
Fate is book 1 in the three part Lexi series and was released August 27th. Book
two - A Leap of Faith was released October 1st with Book 3- A Time for Hope
scheduled for release January 2014. I am also currently writing a
novella/companion book "Twisted Views : Fate's Companion which will be
December 10th. (Pre Sale available on ibooks)

AUTHOR BIO:
T Gephart is an indie author from Melbourne,
Australia.
T's approach to life has been somewhat
unconventional. Rather than going to University, she jumped on a plane to Los
Angeles, USA in search of adventure. While this first trip left her somewhat
underwhelmed and largely depleted of funds it fueled her appetite for travel
and life experience.
With a rather eclectic resume, which reads more
like the fiction she writes than an actual employment history, T struggled to
find her niche in the world.
While on a subsequent trip the United States in
1999, T met and married her husband. Their whirlwind courtship and interesting
impromptu convenience store wedding set the tone for their life together, which
is anything but ordinary.
They have lived in Louisiana, Guam and Australia
and have travelled extensively throughout the US. T has two beautiful young
children and one four legged child, Woodley the wonder dog.
An avid reader, T became increasingly frustrated
by the lack of strong female characters in the books she was reading. She
wanted to read about a woman she could identify with, someone strong,
independent and confident who didn't lack femininity. Out of this need, she
decided to pen her first book, A Twist of Fate.
She enjoyed the process so much that when it was
over she couldn't let it go.
T loves to travel, laugh and surround herself with
colourful characters. This inevitably spills into her writing and makes for an
interesting journey - she is well and truly enjoying the ride!
Based on her life experiences, T has plenty of
material for her books and has a wealth of ideas to keep you all enthralled.
T self-published her first two novels through
Smashwords, is currently writing a novella and the third and final book in the
Lexi Trilogy.
