Plot Twist by Erin La Rosa
She’s written off more than she can chew…
Romance author Sophie Lyon’s ironic secret just went viral: she’s never been in love—and it’s ruining her reputation. With a manuscript deadline looming, Sophie makes an ambitious plan to overcome her writer’s block: reunite with her exes (including her last girlfriend Carla, the one person she could have loved) to learn why she’s never fallen in love, and document it all for her millions of new online followers.
Luckily, Sophie’s reclusive landlord, Dash Montrose—a former teen heartthrob—has social media all figured out and is willing to help. What he doesn’t mention is that he’s an anonymous online crafter, a hobby that helps him maintain his sobriety. No one knows about his complicated relationship with alcohol, and with a family that’s Hollywood royalty, Dash has to steer clear of scandal.
As Sophie and Dash grow closer, they discover a heat between them that rivals Dash’s pottery kiln. But Sophie needs to figure out who she is outside her relationships, and Dash isn’t sure he’s stable enough for the commitment she deserves. So Sophie suggests what any good romance author would: a friends-with-benefits arrangement. Surely a strictly casual relationship won’t cause any trouble…
I enjoyed the author's debut last year, so I was surprised that I
ended up liking Plot Twist even more!
This one follows Sophie Lyons who is a romance author with
writer's block. When a video of her drunkenly admitting that she's
never been in love, she decides to meet some of her exes to see
what went wrong in their relationships and discover why she never
fell in love. And perhaps this might help her overcome her
writer's block too.
Her best friend's brother Dash Montrose - a former indie movie
star, is inadvertently roped into helping her as he gives her tips
on how to navigate social media and TikTok. Dash's family members
are famous actors, but he isn't too interested in continuing down
this road. He's been lying low while trying to maintain his
sobriety and working on his crafting(pottery) hobby. But this
changes as Sophie and Dash grow closer but neither of them seems
to be ready for a relationship...
Not only did this one have a cute and fun plot but I ended up
loving the flawed but realistic characters too! Sophie's character
development was my favorite as she ends up realizing so much more
about herself - and her sister and her bff were very honest with
her when she needed a reality check while she was being avoidant.
It was hard not to fall for Dash too! I felt so sorry for him and
his struggles. There were a few twists that surprised both me and
Dash but it was handled in a good way! My favorite was Dash and
Sophie's relationship as they helped each other while growing
individually too. Also the spice in this one was 🔥🔥🔥
Anyway this was such a fun and steamy romance with realistic
characters that I ended up loving and I think others would enjoy
it too!❣️✨
