My Review:

A Twist of Faith is the first book in Pepper Basham's Mitchell's Crossroads series. This is my second time reading this book, and it was just as enjoyable the second time around.  I highly recommend reading the series in order, as it follows the Mitchell siblings, and you will get slight spoilers by reading it out of order.

"Education is important." Reese nodded. "But I reckon a person can't get by without some food for the heart."

Dr. Adelina Roseland, aka "Dee," has to work in the Appalachian mountains. She arrives full of herself and preconceived notions. She blunders her way around those notions, putting up walls that she works hard to keep in place. However, she had not accounted for the Mitchell family.

"Want me to light your fire tonight?"

Reese Mitchell is full of goodness and is a gentleman to boot. His mama raised him right, and no matter how many walls Dee puts up, he treats her right. I adored the Mitchell family! I loved Grace Mitchell; her name is perfect, as she is full of grace, love, and wisdom. The whole Mitchell family has been hit with hardships, but you wouldn't know it by the way they treat each other and their community. 

She needed love more than anyone he's ever met, and the call to meet that need pulled like a magnet.

Synopsis (Amazon):  

The language of love doesn’t have an accent…. But with any other type, Dr. Adelina Roseland feels confident she can correct it. Accent reduction is her specialty and she’s worked eight years in research to attain her dream job. But a secret wager to transform Appalachian cattle farmer, Reese Mitchell, into corporate material challenges Dee in ways she never expected, threatening her new position. For one, Adelina didn't plan for the faith and friction of Reese or his chaotic family. Now, drawn into a culture she tried to forget, Dee finds the warmth of family, the hope of faith, and the joy of love melting away the deep wounds of her past. But when Reese discovers that he's a pawn in her climb up the academic ladder, will he forgive Dee's deceit or will their miscommunication end in two broken lives?

"Basham weaves a unique tale sure to please the romantic at heart." - Denise Hunter, bestselling author of Married 'til Monday

  1. I'm still waiting for her book Some Like it Scot to come it at my library. And I need to read the sequels to The Mistletoe Countess. Who knows when I'll get around to reading this one! ;D

    1. Lark, this is an older series, I had read this one before, but never reviewed it. I own the second book, and kindle own the third, so decided it was a great time to binge read them :)
