A review by shryanayak
A Twist of Fate by Kelley Armstrong
5.0
“A Twist of Fate” picks up almost three years after the epilogue of “A Stitch in Time” guessing by little Amelia's age. Prior to this novel, the readers were introduced to William’s close friend, Master August, third son of an Earl who seemed to have had quite an interesting past. Bronwyn had learnt about a certain Rosalind Courtenay and the mystery shrouding their shared past. With that as a que, this book details about what had happened to Lady Rosalind on that fateful night, four years ago and her struggles to reunite with her husband and one infant son who were left behind - 200 years into the past.
While this too had elements of mystery incorporated in the backdrop of romance, I found myself liking this one a whole lot more just because August’s character had been well developed enough to convey appropriate emotions, resultant of their unfortunate separation. Rosalind too undergoes a metamorphosis while she's stuck in the 21st century and makes herself useful rather than wallowing in self-pity. Both, stuck in their respective time period, have strong urge to move on, each in their own manner. August hoping to let go of his painful past and divert the entirety of his attention to his dear son, Edmond and Rosalind, pained by sight of every happy family, trying her best to decide if she should let go or hold on to what little hope she has left as each year ends, giving way to another year of loneliness.
This can be read as a standalone but it is better understood when read as a part of the series. Recommended if you enjoy independent women in your historical romances!
