Love is somewhere near the bottom of Lily Thomas’ list of life goals, right next to competitive eating and underwater cave diving. She’s spent six years pirouetting and pliéing her way up the ranks of the New York Ballet with her eye on the prize and love in the back seat. But now that Blane Baker -- Lily’s long time crush -- is finally single, she’ll throw her rules out the window without thinking twice. Reality with Blane isn’t as epic as the fantasy she imagined, and the truth sends her spinning straight into the arms of the man she never knew she’d always wanted. West Williams has been friends with Lily since the day she moved into their building and he saved her armoire from a swift, sudden death by staircase. Their friendship has always been easy, the boundaries clearly defined. With neither of them willing to risk their relationship, they’ve drifted happily through the years as companions, never considering more. That is, until they do. And that realization changes everything. With a Twist is a standalone romantic comedy and part of the Bad Habits series

By Angie Mckeon @Angie and Jessica's Dreamy Reads OH MY LORD!!!!!OH MY GOD.What a great book.What a phenomenal freaking read.You know, going into a novel I always feel a sense of nervousness. Especially if the book's from an author I haven't read before. I'll admit, I tend to stick with authors who I trust to deliver a well written read. I don't step outside of my "go to" bubble very much. Of course, I'll pick up a book here and there, but for the most part I have a list of writers I gravitate to.I'm so unbelievably thrilled to have found a "new to me" author who can write a kick ass novel with some serious depth. This book came out of the left field. I wasn't expecting it. I had seen some teasers that had piqued my curiosity and somehow (Thank you, sweet baby Jesus) I got the book on my kindle.I opened it thinking I'd take a quick look, get a little taste. Well that "quick look/little taste" turned into an - I. CAN'T. STOP. READING!!! OMG. THIS. IS. SO. GREAT - binge-fest.I didn't want it to end.I could have lived within the pages for YEARS.YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS.It was EPIC.The novel starts off with a bang. Literally. LOL. On the first page I could feel my gut tingling with sweet anticipation. I was intrigued, so ready to see where this story was going.I couldn't believe it! PAGE FREAKING ONE and I was hooked.HOOKED!!!!That NEVER happens to me. Typically, I have to force myself through the first 15 - 20%! In this novel, I felt taken.I immediately adored the authors style of writing. I felt drawn to it. It's heavy in dialogue, has the perfect amount of description, and just enough inner monologue where you need it.I laugh and cried and swooned and felt each and every word she had put down.I can't say enough good things.I truly ate this story like it was a chocolate souffle--all melty and delicious.Each character's introduced with a seamless perfection that's shiver worthy. From Lily, to West, to Blaine, to Rose, to Maggie, to Cooper, to Patrick, to Astrid.... ALL of them are so unique with personalities that are simply breath taking.I couldn't get enough.I couldn't read fast enough.I'm telling you, there was a point where I wanted to force myself to slow down and savor each word but I couldn't because the story was so brilliant I had the counter urge to just plow through.God, my cheeks hurt from smiling so much.My belly kept twirling in delightful pirouettes.My heart kept tap dancing across the pages.It was awesome. AWESOME!!!The dialogue in this novel is absolutely superb, probably the best I've read in ages. The transitions between the characters is so fluid, the words so realistic. Many times, I felt as if I was sitting in Habits (The bar the group gravitates to) engaged in conversation with these people. It was unbelievably realistic.I swear, this novel is alive.The scenes are so well drawn out, the picture painted for the reader, vivid and visceral. I want to live with these characters, be apart of their day to day. I wanted to laugh with them, swoon with them, love with them. I was completely entangled in each one. I could see potential for story lines bleeding off the pages. Each character's an intriguing blend of wit, humor, and unequivocal sex appeal.Staci Harts blown me away.BLOWN. ME. A. FREAKING. WAY!!!The slow building romance between West (An English Lit TA, who LOVES books **faints**) and Lily (A ballerina) brings such a refreshing and appealing view to this book. The romance progresses beautifully. It doesn't happen on the first page, there's no insta love, no insta lust. They're truly friends with a respect and admiration for each other that made me want to dance with glee.The pacing of the plot was magnificent. At first I wondered how Lily and West would figure it out. How would they come to the conclusion that they were THE person for each other? Both seemed to live different lives, yet somehow the author melded them into one cohesive unit that flourished.I loved the dynamic between them. It was sexy. It was heart warming. It gave me goosebumps.Made me feel high. I was drunk on these characters. They felt so real. So authentic.Everything was seamless.I can honestly say that I was enchanted and addicted to the sweet, slow building, magical romance that Staci Hart created.It was decadent, made my heart soar, and had me feeling feels I strive to find when picking up a novel.I'm so happy I read it. I'm so happy that this book found me. I cannot wait for the next installment. I love Cooper, Maggie, Patrick and Rose. I want a book for each of them and I'm told we're getting that.Ahhhhhhhh. I truly feel like this book--With a Twist--is an Indie Gem. One of those reads you never forget. It was EVERYTHING I love in a novel and MORE. A read that can't be rated on a 1-5 scale. It deserves an infinite amount of numbers. I LOVED it.Gosh, I'll end it by saying, Bravo, Staci. You nailed it. You gave me one heck of a read and in the process earned one hell of a fangirl in me!Just FANTASTIC!

By Amanda Clark With a setup a cross between Cheers and Friends "With A Twist" just pirouetted (ballet term, just go with it) it's way into my all time favorite books. You really can't go wrong with a 'Friends to lovers' story and the one between Lily and West (or WesLy as I call them) is as good as they get!A hot new series about a group of young, single, 20 something's living in New York who gather at a local neighborhood bar "Habits" are introduced to us in Hart's newest masterpiece. First up is the story of ballet dancer Lily, a hard working, intelligent woman trying to make herself a name in New York City ballet and doing a great job so far. With only enough time to focus on her career, Lily has made it a pointe (see what I did there?) to keep her relationships casual but when her longtime crush Blane Baker starts to show interest Lily is drawn to his magnetic smile and perfect ass. Mississippi transplant West is hoping for a shot at a doctoral program at Columbia university. Like Lily he too only has time for casual affairs focusing solely on his career. As the two go along with their lives and love interests something starts to gradually change between them. For one of them what we want is sometimes not at all what we need and for the other, what you were searching for was there all along.Let me talk about the characters for a moment. This was such a well thought out group of indidviduals who worked so perfectly together as a unit of friends. Everyone was incorporated into the story fluidly and each secondary character was fleshed out enough to want to know more about them in the coming books, without taking up too much time from the main characters. I'm excited to see what's in store for the rest of the peanut gang because each setup within this book was intruguing and exciting. Now onto the MC's of the story. LIly and West. Two characters you WANT, no, NEED, NO! That's not good enough...CRAVE (that's it) to be together. Aside from their friendship that just FEELS right they have a balance that is so natural and beautiful. They comfort each other, lift each other up and work together like a well oiled machine. It takes time for them to see it between them but it's so utterly perfect you'll want to curl into a ball and suck your thumb.West is one of "those guys". The kind of hero that is strong but sensitive. So basically "Pu**y kryptonite". Let's just be honest here. He's amazing and a half. A Shakespeare lover, an intellectual, but also a man who knows what he's looking for and won't settle for just anything. Someone who makes him FEEL, and not just in his Fruit of the Looms, he wants it ALL and he's waiting for someone to awaken it. He's a poetic soul with a hot body and a beastly man-bun that will have you drooling throughout. The kind of guy who can rub your feet and watch your favorite chick flick with but will still bust someone's A** for offending your honor. (Insert breathy sigh here).Lily was such a down-to-earth, sweet, honest, caring and marginally flaky female lead. Her drive to fulfill her lifelong dream to be a dancer was admirable but her personality, with all it's quirks is what really sells her as a likable heroine. She's a little blinded by her crush on fellow dancer Blane and you feel like she'll never get her act together but she's a tough cookie and also very smart about thinking for herself. What I liked most about her was her honesty. With her friends and with herself. She's very analytical and that's something that resonates with me on a deeper level. She's a thinker and dissects her decisions because to her, each one is a big deal. Some people jump in head first, Lily weighs all options and then jumps so as not to hurt herself or anyone else. I gravitate to characters who are real and honest and for me Lily embodied all of those qualities.An attention grabbing opening scene, a group of friends that make you want to be in their circle, a best friend love story with so much heartfelt emotion and plenty of hilarious one liners and zingers, With A Twist was one of those great stories you'll want to come back to over and over again. If there is one thing this author knows, it's love and how to make you feel it, as if it's the most amazing thing in the world all while making you laugh and tear up right along with her characters. There's nothing quite like reading one of Hart's novels. Each experience is new and exciting. I absolutely loved this book with it's perfect blend of comedy, romance and drama and I think anyone who enjoys a lighthearted read will too.
6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Maybe I read a different book By sheree First, let me say that I really love this book cover. It's beautifully done and the models actually resemble the characters. So, points for that.As for the content, I couldn't finish the book. Many readers referred to it as a fast read but I disagree. I didn't wake up wanting to read this book. I didn't lose any sleep over wanting to read this book. I didn't want to sneak away at work to pick up where I left off. I just wasn't that interested. West seemed hot. Definitely my type with the man-bun and beard AND he was an intellectual. I appreciated that. Lily seemed bland with her blond hair, blue eyes, and dancer's body. Definitely would have appreciated some diversity among the characters. She was also incredibly naive. I can't recall how old she was but she's obviously young enough to believe that sex on the first "date" equates to a relationship or to even refer to these encounters as dates to begin with.The majority of the internal and external dialogue seemed so forced and disingenuous and immediately bothered me. I get it, they're trying to be funny and hip. However, it wasn't effortless and didn't seamlessly flow. I don't know. Maybe I'm ranting but so much about this book bothered me and I didn't even finish it. The dialogue, the immaturity of the characters, the lack of distinct time clarification, the lack of diversity, the monotonous nature of their days (Dance, grade papers, bar. Dance, grade papers, bar). Ugh, it just wasn't my cup of tea.
