An enjoyable modern day classic-I enjoyed reading Hope. It proved to be a fantastic sequal. It's refreshing to read a love story that begins after the wedding, rather than the honeymoon phase leading up to it. It feels more raw and real. The characters are relatable and the emotions feel real, not dramatized. Worth a read.

Fantastic story backed by beautifully crafted characters-This is the first book I've run across from S. Q. Orpin but it certainly won't be my last. Dang can she craft a story. Even though this was the 4th in the saga, I jumped right in.
\nI love stories with strong women and real love stories. This book managed to have both.
\nThe entire time you read it, youll find that you're wondering just what will happen next and if everything will turn out. I even found myself wanting to cry a few times.
\nBut, like every great novel, the suspense throughout the book is wrapped up nicely in the end.
\nThis book has turned me into a true fan. Now excuse me while I go buy and start on the first book!

Delicious adventures with Casi-Individual books in a series are tough to follow, but Orpin makes Twist easy with a prologue and clear, explanatory writing. Casi's life is filled with romantic drama and action, and her cruise, particularly, is fun reading. Orpin interjects recipes (a lot of them) between short chapters, and as clever as that is, it sometimes restricts the flow of an action-packed story. I wish the chapters were longer, even though the recipes are great! That's the sign of good writing. Twist reminds me of Eat, Love, Pray.
\nThe seafood paella recipe is awesome!

Great recipes and story-I ordered this book because the variety of recipes looked delicious and unusual. The chapter highlights are a great way to discover what happens in each book of the Catwalk series and it's fun to see how the recipes relate. I love the selection and enjoy how they are simplified for the average baker, without requiring special equipment or ingredients. I will definitely be buying more to give as gifts this year!

A Book Club Favorite! I ordered several copies of TOAST because I've been giving the other cookbook companions as gifts and they are a huge hit! This one did not disappoint and my book club is excited to make a meal for our next meeting with recipes from the book. What a great idea for a cookbook with chapter excerpts to make each recipe more fun.
