Holy hot book C.J..First, I definitely recommend reading Vanilla on Top before you start Vanilla Twist.  You want the lead up to this book and it is totally worth the read.Now on to Vanilla Twist.Vanilla Twist picks up not long after the Vanilla Twist ends.  We slide right back into our familiarity with this couple.Heather and Tony have the most amazing chemistry.  It sizzles off the pages.  I’m not just talking during the sex scenes (which are extremely hot), during the whole book, any interaction these two have together, you can feel it between them.There are new conflicts that come up, both in Heather and Tony’s lives.  Tony is the type of conflict that can break a relationship if it isn’t handled the right way.  Question is, does Tony handle it the right way? and how does Heather react?I really liked that we got to know some of Tony’s family in this book.  There was some interaction with his brothers that show how close his family is and those parts, I believe were integral to the book and how it progressed.One thing I love about C.J.’s steamier reads is that there is a plot. I like my romances to be hot and sexy but there has to be a story there – so that, say… if you skip the sex scenes (I would never) there would be something left there to read. There is in her books. There is an amazing storyline that goes along WITH the sex, the sex is PART of both of them growing as people, for Heather, finally embracing who she is, not being a doormat any longer, for Tony, giving up a little of the control that he has always needed to hold.  It’s not just thrown in the book frivolously to make us get all hot and bothered. (Not holding anything against those books, they just aren’t my  favorite style to read.) There is something happening, something meaningful occurring during those moments. It’s just an amazing read.I loved Vanilla Twist.  C.J. did an amazing job with this book (and with Vanilla on Top).  It is one of my favorite series.  She has a way of writing that makes this story completely believable.  Her characters have their own insecurities and flaws, just like we all do, but there is amazing communication between the two, and it’s a wonderful book.Thank you so very much for my ARC!
