Destiny by Carly Phillips



Serendipity Series #2

      Ethan, Nash and Dare are the 3 Barron brothers. Ethan the oldest of the Barron brothers is getting married, but it is Nash who is the male lead in this 2nd book of the Serendipity Series. Nash is a very attractive lawyer and he is attending his brothers wedding when he meets Kelly. Like a magnet to a piece of metal, Nash and Kelly become very attracted to one another. The main problem between them is Tess. Tess is Kelly's sister but she is also Nash's sister. Confusing huh? Well apparently Kelly's mother and Nash's father had an affair and produced sister Tess. Teenager Tess has been living with Kelly, but she has been a handful and giving Kelly problems so Kelly sends Tess to live with her older brother Ethan. Tess doesn't like Nash.

     Not everything with this family is hunky dory. They all have issues and problems to deal with. Nash was sent to a foster home as a child after the death of his parents. His brother Dare also went to foster care, but to a poor family. And brother Ethan disappeared and left them all behind, so as you can see, there are trust issues to deal with here. Problems escalate when Nash finds out that Kelly has a  big secret she has been hiding. Apparently everyone knew her secret but him and that makes him really mad. Add Nash's ex into the picture, Kelly and Tess's mother and you have a big mess!

     I have to speak truthfully, I am partial to Carly's books. I have always enjoyed them just as I have enjoyed this one. I didn't really like Nash in the beginning because he was the type of guy who was unforgiving and just couldn't let things that happend in the past go. But, as the book progressed you could tell that his love for Kelly had changed him and he was able to open his heat and learn to forgive. Only thing is that it took him much longer to change than it should have. I was about to give up on this guy, but love conquered all in the end.

HAPPY READING!
