Overall Rating 4.25
Story Rating 4.00
Character Rating 4.50
Note: This is the first book in awhile that I read in just one sitting. The family dynamics, down-to-earth romance, and wonderful story was just what I needed to get out of my reading
What I Loved: Tess! Normally I am not a fan of teenagers in my romance books but in this case, it really worked. The way she interacted with Ethan and Faith was just fantastic. Was Texx angsty? Sure. Did Tess have very good reasons for being angsty for a 14 year old? Yes! I think she also gave something Ethan needed--a way to prove to himself that he really had changed! The romance between Ethan and Faith was one of the most down-to-earth and organic relationships I have read lately. The interactions between all three were something I looked forward to all of Serendipity.
What I Liked: The family interactions were the heart of this story and I really am interested to see how they all play out in the series. Ethan's attempts to rebuild his relationships with his brothers (Dare and Nash) were both heart-breaking and hopeful. I think Tess will help mend the gap over the course of the series. Faith's interactions and acceptance of her mother was tenuous at times but done really well. Kate and Nick were my favorite side characters though and I am hoping they get a story!
Complaints: None
Why I gave it a 4.25: The was a really good romance with a hopeful story attached!

While I really liked a lot of Ms. Phillips' early writings, the last few have just not done it for me. This one, though, gives me great hope for the future. It just hit all the right notes. There was a flow, a comfortableness from the beginning. A little bit of angst, but a whole lot of fun. Got to

This was a sweet contemporary romance. Ethan was a bad boy in high school. When his family needed him most he disappeared. Now he's back and looking to make amends. Faith was the golden girl growing up but the mighty have fallen..hard. She's looking to rebuild her life. Together they have enough
I really liked how well Ethan and Faith fit. I also liked that they didn't gloss over or make light of their issues. I did think Faith took things a little too far in the end, but overall I enjoyed the story and the romance.
