THE TWIST [Romantic Suspense, High Tech Metamorphosis] Zane Tollison’s wife is running through their cash faster than he can make it. A “Hail Mary” contract with Clearwater Tobacco arrives in the nick of time to keep his fledgling consulting firm afloat, and to unchain him once and for all from his narcissistic wife. Beautiful, brilliant, and estranged Kathy Davis is desperate for a new beginning. The feisty post doc bio-geneticist jumps at an offer from Clearwater, pouring her soul into a development that will revolutionize the tobacco industry. The two are unwittingly reeled into a convoluted plan to steal $12 million. Zane is changing into a carbon copy of Kathy, a pawn in a bizarre genetic metamorphosis, entangling Kathy in a sinewy web of seduction and deceit. Forging a bond that will set the course of their destiny, they fight to overpower the diabolic hold that has taken over their lives. *** 5 Stars: "A recommended read! The Twist by Lee Silver is one of the most fascinating books that I've read in a long time. The story which takes place in the world of big business and high tech genetic research, is filled with interesting and very likable characters, humor, and above all a completely unique story. This is one book that is definitely a keeper! So if you're a fan of witty clever stories with a touch of science fiction thrown in, then you are going to love The Twist." --Kasey's View *** 4.5 Hearts: "Well, I can honestly say this is a unique story. When I first took this one I thought to myself, this is going to be a confusing read. But I was quick to realize the author was able to draw me into the story and keep me there without losing me in the bio-genetic and DNA swapping terms. She created a world that seemed so real and devastating that it seems almost possible. Zane and Kathy are strong characters that are pushed to their emotional, physical, and mental limits and manage to hold on to not only their sanity (most of the time) but to the love they feel for one another. I would highly recommend this one to anyone looking for a suspenseful ride that will keep them anxiously turning the pages and will possibly turn them against cigarette smoking forever." --Sandra, The Romance Studio *** 4 Stars: "Humorous...Every man should have to spend at least a month as a woman. Cramps, high/low emotion, pregnancy, and menopause would help a male understand a female. Lee Silver writes with a great deal of humor and imagination. Her characters are well-developed. Her plot is interesting and creative. Fans of fantasy romance will enjoy The Twist." --Debra Gaynor, Review Your Book

This review is from: The Twist (Paperback)
Zane Tollison is owner of Tollison Consulting. One day he gets a call from Jonathon Chorde. Jonathon is from Clearwater Tobacco and he wants to hire Zane to conduct a survey to prove that Clearwater is not putting substances in their cigarettes to make them addictive to the female population. Mr. Chorde will pay Zane twelve million dollars for one week of work. Zane can't believe his luck. This will be easy money. Zane will be working with Kathy in the Clearwater Tobacco labs during his week stay. The longer Zane stays; the stranger things start to happen to him. You know when they warn you that smoking cigarettes are bad for you...you don't know how true that is till you read The Twist.
The Twist was like Weird Science...the twentieth century version but in a good way. What a good sci-fi book The Twist turned out to be, which surprised me as I usually stray away from these types of books. The concept of this storyline is one that can go wrong so fast and leave the reader shaking their heads going what just happened. Instead Lee Silver made sure that everything that happened throughout the story was easy to follow along with, which helped to keep my attention. I found myself wanting to keep reading because there were so many things taking place that I couldn't wait to see what else was going to happen next. Lee Silver is pure Gold!

"Every man should have to spend at least a month as a woman." ~Debra Gaynor ZANE TOLLISON'S wife is running through their cash faster than he can make it. A "Hail Mary" contract with Clearwater Tobacco arrives in the nick of time to keep his fledgling, consulting firm afloat and to unchain him once and for all from his narcissistic wife. Beautiful, brilliant and estranged, KATHY DAVIS is desperate for a new beginning. The feisty post doc bio-geneticist jumps at an offer from Clearwater, pouring her soul into a development that will revolutionize the tobacco industry. The two are unwittingly reeled into a convoluted plan to steal $12 million; Zane is changing into a carbon copy of Kathy, a pawn in a bizarre genetic metamorphosis, entangling Kathy in a sinewy web of seduction and deceit. Forging a bond that will set the course of their destiny, they fight to overpower the diabolic hold that has taken over their lives. I'll admit it, I'm a geek! But setting a romance in the framework of high tech intrigue, my technical background turned out to be my best friend. I wanted a heroine who would stand toe to toe with the leading man and a plot that would keep a reader on the edge of their seat. The Twist is only the beginning. ~ Lee ~ Reviews FIVE STARS One of the most fascinating books that I've read in a long time. This is one book that is definitely a keeper!

This review is from: The Twist (Paperback)
The Twist was a very different and unique book. Zane Tollison, owner of a consulting firm, gets a phone call at work one day from a man named Jonathon Chorde. Chorde owns a tobacco company called Clearwater Tobacco, he wants to hire Zane to test out his cigarrettes and prove that they do not have chemicals in them that make them addictive to the female population. Chorde offers Zane twelve million dollars to smoke a pack a day for a week. Sound too good to be true? It is.
Zane leaves his petty wife behind and goes off for the experiment. At the lab where he will be staying, he meets scientist Kathy Davis. Kathy has been hired to do tests on Clearwater Tobacco's product. Kathy and Zane hit it right off, but soon enough, odd things begin to happen to Zane. Let's say a strange genetic change, due to his smoking the cigarettes. Now, if I were Kathy, I would have been running in the opposite direction, away from Zane. lol. But Kathy is determined to help Zane, and soon enough the two discover a hidden agenda taking place. I found The Twist to be a fun read. I recommend it to science fiction/romance fans.
