I requested this one back in the day as I had every intention of reading it. However, its been years and I still haven't gotten around to it and while I feel guilty at not reviewing a book I think that I need to admit to myself that I won't be reading this one anytime soon....if at all.
Sam Marsden finally gets his happily ever after here in Perfect Together. You’ll remember Sam from being both Mike and Erin’s brother from the previous books in this series. The last time we saw him was in Erin’s book and he was making googly eyes at Nicole Farnsworth. The same Nicole who just happens to be sister to the girl who stalked his sister’s life. You’ll also remember that Nicole was actually the one that came to Serendipity to warn Erin about Victoria (Nicole’s twin). Then Nicole’s good deed was done and she went back home, never to be seen again.
Until she comes back to town a few months later, to stay.
Nicole’s looking for a new start and she liked the small town of Serendipity and hopes that the people there would be forgiving of her and what her sister did. It doesn’t take long for Nicole to realize that she made the right decision in breaking up with her fiance and make that move. She’s slowly building a life for herself in this new town and she’s going after what she wants in life instead of living up to the expectations her parents have put on her, her whole life.
Sam has wanted Nicole since she came rushing into his life trying to warn his sister of her crazy sister. It’s one of those things where the body wants what it wants and his wanted Nicole. In a bad way. When she booked it out of town as soon as she came in, Sam chalked it up to not meant to be but now that she’s back? Sam’s itch for her is back and this time? She’s going to scratch it.
What started as something temporary, quickly becomes more than either of them were expecting and when Nicole’s ex comes back into town and danger quickly behind him, Sam’s protective instincts kick in.
I enjoyed this book. I haven’t been reading a lot to start the new year out but what I am reading, I’m really liking and this book is part of that. I liked getting to know both Sam and Nicole. Separately and together, I liked them. I liked that Nicole was a city girl who wanted a place that was all hers and I really liked that she was a baker. I’ve got a soft spot for bakers and Nicole was a good one. Sam was everything that I like in a hero. Strong and sexy.
I really enjoyed the secondary romance between Tyler and Macy. I would have liked a bit more for them in terms of page time but in the end, I was glad that they found each other and that they found a happiness that they both deserved. Too cute.
I’m kind of sad to see that this series is all wrapped up nicely, I’m going to miss these characters. I’ve come to love the heck out of the folks of Serendipity and I thank Carly Phillips for bringing those people alive for me through these books. It was a fun trip. A definite recommend.
