I received Vanilla Twist in exchange for a fair and honest review.This is the third installment in C.J. Ellisson’s Walk on the Wild Side series. I inadvertently skipped the second book, Avoiding Mr. Right, but that’s okay. I can go back and play catch up because Vanilla Twist goes back to Heather and Tony, so I felt like I wasn’t missing a thing – at least where they were concerned.Vanilla Twist once again proves that C.J. Ellisson can keep me turning pages whether she’s writing PNR or contemporary. Her characters are interesting and fun, the situations and story line keep me intrigued and the heat is just right.Heather and Tony’s relationship was just getting off the ground by the end of Vanilla on Top and it was nice to see that it was still going strong. They were still in the ‘getting to know’ you phase, but they definitely had a connection that neither one of them had experienced before. It was fresh, exciting and fun…. and then the real world came crashing in.I’ll leave it at that, because I don’t want to spoil anything. A lot happens in Vanilla Twist that helps readers get to know the characters a lot better, and not just Tony and Heather. The story wasn’t just about the situation that Tony and Heather found themselves in, it was more about the way that they eventually handled it. The supporting characters were more than just filler. The conversations and interactions between them all gave readers a better understanding of where they were all coming from. (I especially liked getting to know Tony’s brothers.)Vanilla Twist was a great addition to the Walk on the Wild Side series and I can’t wait to see what C.J. Ellisson has in store for these characters next. I’m pretty sure that there is more to Heather and Tony’s story, but I wouldn’t mind getting to know some of the other characters better too.
