An Exceptional Twist (Intertwined Hearts #2)by Kimi Flores


Title: An Exceptional Twist (Intertwined Hearts #2)
Author: Kimi Flores
Hosted By: The Book Avenue



What’s a girl to do when the one person she’s been forewarned about is the only one that her heart desires?

Leah Valdez is a sassy, intelligent, hard-working woman whose beauty shines from both inside and out. Friends and family have always come first, but it's time for her to start thinking about her own future.

Stefen Hunter is a rich, charming, sexy playboy. With seemingly no effort on his part, countless women flock to him. That is, until he meets Leah. He can’t understand why it’s so difficult to win her over or what it is about her that intrigues him so much.

When an unfortunate event intertwines their lives, Leah finds herself in a war between her thoughts and desires. To forgive, and ultimately trust, Stefen, she will have to put her heart on the line. After what he’s put her through, she’s not sure she’s willing to do that.

As compassion meets resistance, will Stefen be able to step out of his comfort zone and accept that he can become the redeemed man worthy of Leah’s love? Is Stefen and Leah’s connection strong enough to withstand An Exceptional Twist?


Kimi grew up in the San Gabriel Valley (mostly Alhambra) and still lives in Southern California. She’s been married to her high-school sweetheart and prom date for 21 years and they have two hilarious boys. 

When she’s not reading or writing, Kimi spends her time in the kitchen trying to come up with vegan meals that don’t taste like cardboard. Her family might disagree with this however. 

Although she doesn’t loyally follow or have favorite teams/athletes, Kimi loves a good hockey game or motorcross/x-treme sports event.

Volunteering is extremely important to her and she and her family work with several local non-profit organizations. A portion of her sales will always go to charity. 

She’s planning on publishing the last two books in this series by the end of the year. Book 3, Grafted Vines, is Dani & Zachary’s story and book 4, Tangled Paths, is Bri & Josh’s journey. And because every character has a story to tell, there’s a possibility of a novella about Stefen and Bri’s mother’s life. There’s a reason she acts the way she does and she may bug Kimi enough to have it written out.

Our 4 Star Review

Leah's bet friend just got married and is going on her honeymoon, while they are away the grooms cousin, Stefen, is house sitting and Leah's been nominated to show him around town. He's hot and sexy too bad he's also a playboy, never hurts to look though right? But as they spend more time together and she sees behind his mask of indifference she wonders if he can reform his bad boy ways? Is she willing to find out and whats the price she has to pay if she's wrong?

Stefen is stuck in this town until things die down back home, and with nothing better he's going after that sexy Latina even when he was warned to stay away. When he begins to feel more for her than he's comfortable with he falls back on his old habits, but what happens when he can't shake that feelings he has for the feisty florist? Will it be to late to win her heart when she moves on after he already broke it once?

Leah's fiery personality and take charge attitude where fun to watch against an alpha male like Stefen who's used to getting things his way. Watching the banter between the to was fun and when they feel the more between them I loved the Duel POV's so you could understand where they were each at in their heads and in their hearts throughout. Watching Leah's struggles and growth throughout and Stefen growing up and changing way you get to see how perfect they could be for each other, as long as they let go of their insecurities.

Enjoyed the depth to the story and being able to see not only their pasts and where they are right now, but also where they could be in the future.
