'Fortuity' can be read as a stand alone, but anyone who read the 'Transcend' Duet CANNOT miss this book!!! ❤🎉 Griffin and Swayze got their happy ending, but WHAT ABOUT NATE...? 😭 📚 "𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗜’𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲." 📚 8 years ago, Nathaniel Hunt packed his belongings and took his daughter Morgan for a trip around the world. Now they're back, living in San Diego for 3 months - a location that was chosen by fortuity... and guess who lives next door? 💚 Gracelyn Glock is in a Man-Ban after her heart got broken 3 times. She always had herself to care for, until her brother and wife died and left their 10-year-old son, Gabe, in her care. 🙏 Morgan and Gabe bond instantly - and so does Nate and Gracelyn, but they only have 3 months, because despite their great connection - they can't be selfish... Their kids are their priority. 💔 After he lost everything, Gracelyn promised Gabe she would not uproot him from his school and friends... and Nate promised Morgan he would take her back home, to be near her mother's grave and the rest of her family. 💚 They both experienced pain and loss - they both deserve a happy ending. They love each other, but they love their kids MORE... So how will it end??? 😱 📚 "𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲. 𝗜𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀. 𝗦𝗼 𝗜 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿.” 📚 I will not compare it to the 'Transcend' Duet, because they are completely different - AND because, come on... no one can compete Griffin! 💚😝👑 I really enjoyed the ride - but there were also things I didn't like. For example, there were parts at the beginning I struggled with... I don't know exactly what was missing, but if that wasn't Nate's story, I might be less forgiving. (But it was Nate... and we know each other personally, so I forgave easily!) 😂 Later on, I understood why the book was written this way - because compared to the previous books, the characters here are mature (she's 41, he's 46) and it certainly made no sense to add dramas to the story. Jewel's choice to write a mature and realistic plot was excellent... despite it's slow pace at times. ❤ 📚 "𝗪𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻’𝘁 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗻, 𝗿𝘂𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱, 𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝘂𝘀𝗵 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗱𝗲. 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴. 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲." 📚 This is a story about finding love in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was romantic, funny, touching and had lots of important life lessons... But what made this book so good is it's characters - each contributed to the story perfectly. 🙏 I can write how amazing Gracelyn was or how Nate made me swoon (and him as a dad almost made my ovaries explode!) But the one who really stole everyone's show was 10-year-old Morgan... a curious and opinionated girl who stole my heart and made me laugh out loud so many times! (Especially because of her curiosity about the taste of... some body parts! Lol) 😂💕 This book was a great closure to the 'Transcend' Duet and totally lived up to my expectations. I finished reading it feeling satisfied with a huge smile on my face! 💚💚💚
