Destiny
Carly Phillips
Berkley, Jan 3 2012, $7.99
ISBN: 9780425245743
In Serendipity, New York, Nash Barron attends the wedding of his older brother Ethan to Faith (see Serendipity). He knows he remains angry with his sibling for dumping him and their younger brother Dare into the foster care system ten years ago. Dare the cop forgave Ethan but Nash has not. He is also upset with Kelly Moss who brought her teenage half-sister Tess to Serendipity to live with the youngster’s older half-brothers. Part of his ire with Kelly is his attraction to her, which she ignores and he must ignore for Tess’ sake. Finally Nash cannot comprehend why his wife left him as he muses why loved ones leave him.
Kelly wants Nash, frown and all, but refuses to act on her feelings as Tess’s needs come first. Still she would not mind some fun with the perpetual frowner though she also fears her scandal will see the light of day leading to his loathing her.
The second Serendipity contemporary romance is an engaging tale starring a fully developed lead pair and a strong support cast mostly the extended family. The straight-lined plot follows the expected course, but the hot-blooded relationship between the two degrees of separation is a fun tale as Nash and Kelly feel like Destiny’s darlings (not).
