ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 29, 2023

Tired of being the easygoing daughter, always ignored in favor of her high-maintenance sister, and no longer interested in being her fiance’s trophy wife, Nicole Farnsworth calls off her wedding. All she wants is to be herself. And where better to find her destiny than Serendipity? The place where she met the one man who made her heart beat faster, and gave her the courage to reinvent her life–even if he doesn’t know it.

Officer Sam Marsden calls Serendipity home and he loves it there–even though his childhood sweetheart was stolen by his best friend. After such heartbreak, Sam fears he can’t trust his instincts when it comes to love. Yet he’s so tempted by Nicole, a woman he met only briefly but who has starred in his dreams ever since. For Nicole and Sam, opening their hearts one more time could change their lives forever. But who’ll be the first to take that chance?

REVIEW:PERFECT TOGETHER is the third instalment in Carly Phillips’ contemporary, adult SERENDIPITY’S FINEST erotic, romance series. This is detective Sam Marsden, and soon to be bakery owner Nicole Farnsworth’s story line. PERFECT TOGETHER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Nicole is the sister of Victoria (Perfect Fling)

NOTE: PERFECT TOGETHER is the re-release of the author’s original book with the same title.

Told from several omniscient third person perspectives including Sam and Nicole PERFECT TOGETHER follows in the wake of the broken engagement of New York socialite Nicole Farnsworth. Nicole knew returning to Serendipity may cause some issues for the people who were directly involved with her troubled twin sister Victoria but Victoria was getting help, and having called off her engagement in the wake of some troubling information, Nicole wanted to start over, far from the people she left behind. Getting reacquainted with the people in Serendipity brought with it memories from the past but falling for Detective Sam Marsden was never in the cards. Sam Marsden has loved and lost, and refuses to go down the same path again but something about Nicole called to his heart, and when the problems in New York follow Nicole to Serendipity, Sam becomes guardian and protector of the women with whom he will fall in love. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Sam and Nicole, and the potential fall-out as Sam battles between head and heart as it pertains to our story line heroine.

The world building focuses on sins of the past: from Nicole’s sister’s mental illness, dysfunctional family values, inability to trust, and broken hearts. Perfect Together focuses on moving forward and letting go of the past.

The relationship between Sam and Nicole is one of immediate attraction but Nicole’s sister’s previous problems weigh heavily on our story line heroine. Sam isn’t looking for anything permanent, and Nicole is hoping to move on from the past. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and sassy secondary and supporting characters including most of the previous story line introductions and couple. We are re-introduced to Sam’s extended family, as well as Nicole’s parents, and her ex Tyler.

PERFECT TOGETHER is a story of power and control, secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, forgiveness and understanding, acceptance and love .The fast paced premise is intriguing and captivating; the romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are determined, dynamic and charismatic.
