Daring Destiny: Brennan & Astrid (Charming Irish Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Kaylene Winter (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 29 ratings
Daring Destiny is a sweltering saga of billionaire intrigue, opposites-attract, slow-
burn, friends-to-lovers with an unexpected life-changing twist.

Before I founded my AI tech company, I spent my high school years silently pining over
Astrid Gustafsson, the unattainable ice-blonde beauty. Fast forward a decade and I’m
shocked when she asks to collaborate on a secret project. The opportunity is too enticing
to pass up.

Our newfound friendship quickly ignites into a wildfire of desire, and my passion for Astrid
intensifies, leaving me eager to risk everything for our future. The challenge is, relentless
demands of my high-stakes empire threaten to smother the flames of our burgeoning
romance.

When fate dramatically intervenes, will a life-changing twist dare us to embrace our
destiny?

    Wow, just wow! Astrid and Brennan make my heart soar. There was a spark when they first reunited, but it took them so long to confront their feelings. Their relationship was like a roller coaster ride, With so many twists, turns, ups, and downs. I love the way you always bring in all of the family into each story, because how could you not fall in love with all of them. Can’t wait to see what happens with shamus

    Daring Destiny: Brennan and Astrid (Charming Irish Book 2) by Kaylene Winter is a romance between former high school classmates of in-demand high-end realtor Astrid and tech CEO Brennan. When Astrid sold Brennan’s brother Conner’s family an exclusive home, she reached out to Conner to relay to Brennan that she had something of his that she needed to return and wanted to talk to him. Once Brennan contacts Astrid, he learns she has an idea for a new technological app that could be used for their high school reunion a few years before the actual reunion. Over time, their friendship turns into a slow-burn romance that goes from simmering to red hot boiling-over as they obliterate the friendship line to being involved. Brennan’s brilliance allows him to build a successful company due to his ability to hyperfocus, which is a part of being neurodivergent. Yet, his hyper-focusing also causes issues as he can be so tunnel-visioned that he neglects all relationships, including Astrid. Despite Astrid’s apparent success as a local top realtor, she didn’t feel passionate about her work. Due to how her parents and family treat her throughout her life, she never thought she was “good enough,” so she has emotional baggage weighing her down that she brings to the relationship that develops between her and Brennan. Brennan engages in a legal battle with his board member investors in his company, Cognify AI, which consumes all his time and focus. Soon, he only wants to be rid of his company, which has evolved from his original concept to reaching worldwide success but is no longer recognizable as what Brennan originally developed and wanted to be the acting CEO of. Brennan and Astrid have issues with their family: one good, one lacking, and hurtful. This is besides the internal emotional scars each carries into their relationship. Kaylene Winter can bring two unlikely people together to find forever love regardless of their flaws and imperfections. The Charming Irish series by Kaylene Winter are books that tug at the heart and give the reader a book to ponder long after closing the story's last page.

    Even though Brennan and Astrid's story was more of the development over the past 3 years and not much of the present day it was good. So much happened to help them become who they are for a HEA. The chemistry was good and it was well written.

    The Charming Irish Series by Kaylene Winter is an interconnected series following the McGloghlin Brothers. Each book can be read as a standalone as each of the brothers find their HEAs. This is Brennan McGloughlin and Astrid Gustafsson's story.

    Brennan and Astrid went to school together, and he had the biggest crush on her, so much so that he was a tad stalkerish, but once you understand his personality, you get it. Anyway, Astrid hopes to get Brennan to help her with their High School Reunion, and things get heated along the way.

    This was a sweet and spicy read. I enjoyed getting to know Brennan better, and Astrid was just incredible. I loved the way she understood Brennan without knowing about his situation. If you are looking for a Friends-to-Lovers, Billionaire, Opposites-Attract, Workplace Romance with a large Irish Family and B D E, this book is for you.

    Happy Reading!!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Kaylene has hit it out of the park again
    Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2025

    First, let me say that I love how all of Kaylene's books are connected in the same world. I love how often all my favorites from other books (or even series) can pop up at any given time.

    This is book 2 in the Charming Irish series featuring the McGloughlin brothers. Connor McGloughlin's story was part of the Less Than Zero series. The mains in this book are Brennan McGloughlin and Astrid Gustafsson.

    This was such a sweet read. But, I say that about all of Kaylene's books. I feel as if I am a distant cousin to all of her characters so I eagerly leap into their stories. With such interconnected series as these are, it easily feels like spending time with family. These characters are well written and keep me interested in their stories. It's easy to root for this couple. The story is well developed and paced. You're not left with boring sections or confusing sections. Kaylene has hit it out of the park again with this book.
