PERFECT TOGETHER

Carly Phillips

Release Date: September 29, 2023

Blurb

   This big-city girl is ready for Serendipity. But is Serendipity ready for her? No sane woman breaks off an engagement to an extremely handsome, rich man, right? But Nicole Farnsworth is tired of being the good daughter, and she’s sick of being her fiancé’s arm candy. So she flees to Serendipity. She can’t think of a better place to find some peace and figure out what comes next. “Next” shouldn’t include falling for the man who once slapped handcuffs on her wrists—and unwittingly changed her life. But in this small town, fate and fortune make the decisions. Sam Marsden trusts his instincts as a cop, but when it comes to love? Not so much. Back when he’d mistakenly arrested Nicole, she’d made his jaded heart beat faster and he thought she’d reciprocated. But she returned to her high-society life in NYC and slipped through his fingers. Since then, he’s tried and failed to stop dreaming about the beautiful woman. Now Nicole is back and it isn’t long before they give in to the attraction that never stopped burning. But when the reason Nicole ran away from home catches up with her, it’ll take every ounce of Sam’s protective instincts to keep her safe. 

Review of Sam & Nicole's Story: A Heartfelt Journey of Love and Resilience

Sam & Nicole's story captivates with its rich emotional depth and compelling character dynamics, making it a memorable read in the romance genre. What sets this book apart is its authentic portrayal of flawed yet endearing characters navigating the complexities of love, friendship, and personal growth amidst emotional turmoil. The plot balances heartfelt moments with suspense, creating a layered experience that resonates deeply.

The characters are the true heartbeat of the story. Nicole emerges as a standout—her transformation from a vulnerable, callously raised young woman into a strong, self-assured individual is both inspiring and believable. She embodies compassion and resilience, making her instantly relatable and admirable. Sam, on the other hand, is portrayed with a protective allure shadowed by his struggles with past betrayals. His internal conflict adds nuance, enriching the narrative with a sense of realism that keeps readers invested in his journey.

The chemistry between Nicole and Sam is electric and palpable, driving much of the emotional intensity. Their relationship is far from perfect, marked by ups and downs that reflect real-life challenges rather than idealized romance. This tension, combined with a shared need to overcome their pasts, creates a narrative push and pull that keeps the pages turning. The story wisely explores how lingering shadows from earlier experiences can hamper growth and happiness, urging the characters—and readers—to consider the importance of self-awareness and healing.

Beyond the main couple, the story benefits from a diverse cast of side characters who enrich the world and add depth. The infusion of mystery and suspense elements introduces an unexpected twist that enhances the plot without overshadowing the emotional core. This blend of genres keeps the pacing engaging and adds layers to what might otherwise be a straightforward romance.

Overall, this book is a compelling exploration of love’s complexities, the strength found in friendship, and the courage it takes to stand firm in one's convictions. It offers a satisfying mix of emotional resonance and narrative intrigue, making it a rewarding read for fans of character-driven romance with a hint of suspense. Those who appreciate stories about personal transformation and imperfect relationships will find much to enjoy here.

 Sam & Nicole's story is a testament to the power of connection and the human spirit’s capacity to grow beyond adversity. It's a pleasure to follow their journey, and it leaves you eager for what comes next in this promising series.

Release Date: April 22, 2025

From Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Nicole James, comes a standalone, slow burn, age gap, boss love, steamy MC romance

Lizzy—

When did my life come to this?

Everything was going so right. I had a job I liked, a cute little house and a great marriage to my high school sweetheart. Matt was my everything—my firefighting hero—until tragedy struck. Now suddenly I'm a widow drowning in grief and about to lose everything.

One terrible day sent my whole world spinning.

If it wasn't for my good friend, Kate I would have gone under. She pulled me out of my deep depression and found me a new job to take my mind off everything.

I'm thankful to her until I find out my new boss is the VP of the Royal Bastards MC.

Has she lost her frigging mind?

Darko—

When a son I didn't know I had, is abruptly dropped in my lap, my whole world is upended. He’s a teenager, pissed at the world, and dealing with crushing grief. Suddenly I’m struggling to deal with him and my busy auto restoration business.

When I tell Utah I need someone to answer the phones and keep up with the paperwork, his ol' lady delivers me her best friend.

I remember Lizzie. She was always the bubbly girlie-girl, so full of life. But that's not the devastated, barely speaking woman who walks in my shop. Lizzie had the life she deserved. Now she’s destroyed. And on top of that, what does she know about working in a garage or dealing with a man like me—a member of the Royal Bastards MC?

Not to mention the fact that she’s half my age and distracting as hell.

How in the world does Kate expect us to help each other?
