ARC Review: A Misstep of Fate by Olivia Fenwick

Publication Date: May 15, 2025

Olivia Fenwick packed a PUNCH with this one- wow!!! A Misstep of Fate is so different from Olivia’s book Play The Last Card, (link to my review of PTLC here) but both are so well done! I loved the premise of this book so much. Bash and Tilly were meant to be from the very start, and I loved reading their journey all the way through. 

Though this book is a historical romance, I loved the way these characters managed to interact in both historical and modern ways. I loved the friendships that both Bash and Tilly manage to have and their goofy natures with those friends. The shift from Sebastian and Matilda to Bash and Tilly further accentuated that lovely combination of historical and modern that worked so well in this book.

This book was a beautiful example of an author stepping into a new world and absolutely crushing the creation of it. It’s a sweet and poignant story about the power of fighting for someone you love. Bash and Tilly never gave up on one another, and that’s such a powerful and lasting message for me. 

I voluntarily reviewed a free advance copy of this book provided by the author. The opinions expressed are my own.
