Love With a Twist ~ Valentine Romance Collection
A prophecy whispered in Jasmine Rosso’s ear by a gypsy fortuneteller in San Diego’s Seaport Village leads her to a sizzling night with sexy blown-glass artist Jake Hartnett. But the clock’s running out on the time allotted to fulfill the prophecy, and if Jasmine doesn’t make a true love connection with Jake before midnight on Valentine’s Day, she’ll lose everything she’s worked so hard to achieve this past year…including the trendy martini bar and bistro, With a Twist, that she owns with her two best friends.
Worst of all, she’ll lose Jake—the only man she’s ever wanted.
Dirtying it Up Review:
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
for this series, you have to believe a little bit of the unbelievable. overall a good story and good, quick series.
jasmine is a bit quirky and seems to lack self-esteem. when she finally admits what she wants, things start looking up for her.
jake seems to be a playboy but he’s secretly been waiting a long time for jasmine to finally see what’s right in front of her.
their chemistry is off the charts and their banter is really cute. good start to the series.

Fate may have served up the wrong man, but for Daisy L’Amore, love comes with a twist.
Daisy L’Amore is faced with impossible choices. A prophecy given a year ago has Daisy and her two best friends racing the clock to find love before midnight on Valentine’s Day or they will lose everything they’ve worked for, including With a Twist, the martini bar and bistro the three of them own. A crystal heart and a gypsy’s words guide them, but love has a way of making its own rules, and Daisy is afraid to break them.
Romeo Corazón is shaking up Daisy’s world, but will the transformation he brings to her life be the downfall of everything she values? Or will falling in love with the wrong man make everything right?
Review of Shaking it Up:
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
this is my favorite story in the series. while i don’t like love triangles i liked how things didn’t turn out as they seemed with either man and daisy was forced to look past her preconceived notions. rome is a really sweet and loveable man. i liked that he just shucked his day job to do something he really loved. i liked how he pursued daisy…he was pretty irresistible (even though she tried). daisy seemed like the strongest of the 3 leading ladies, except for when she finally found what she wanted!
again, you have to believe a little of the unbelievable with this story (as in the whole series).

When a gypsy’s prediction begins to come true, Rose Cupido dismisses it as a coincidence, but when a past estranged boyfriend shows up reminding her of the love she once felt for him, Rose can’t help wondering if that gypsy had true magical powers.
Review of Stirring it Up:
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
3.5 stars
this was a good conclusion to the series. i liked how both rose and max were willing to finally give love a try after so many years of skirting around each other. they were a good match with similar tastes in life. their chemistry was just as hot as the other 3.
there was still the element of needing to have an open mind for this story as the gypsy makes her final appearance and the heart is a strong character in this story again.
