Our 4 star review
Happenstance is M.J. Abraham's debut novel and she did a wonderful job with this story.
Victoria
has just signed her divorce papers and is ready to move on from the man
who broke her heart. She decides to pack her bags and move away from
her family and leave behind the life. She has a great new apartment, a
new teaching job and will be moving by her best friend. The last thing
she wants is to find a man and fall in love. After being betrayed by
the one man she thought she would spend her life with, she is afraid to
put herself and her heart out there again. Until she meets Jared Owens.
Jared
Owens is a hot sexy veterinarian, who is sweet, funny, and did I
mention sexy? I think the best word to describe Jared is "perfect." He
is what every woman wants, and he will make you swoon. And his funny
t-shirts just made him that much more adorable. He meets Victoria when
she brings a stray dog into his practice. He is completely taken by her
the first time he sees her. All though Victoria is not looking for a
guy she cannot get Dr. Owens out of her mind. Her friend convinces her
to move on and date casually and give Jared a chance, which she agrees
to do.
Victoria definitely has her guard up in the beginning
and I have to admit that at times her decisions frustrated me. She had
an amazing, funny sexy man who loved her and wanted to make her happy
but she seemed to push him away. As much as she knew what she was
feeling for him she was afraid that by admitting her feelings she would
get hurt. I completely understand her fears and I think that is one
reason why many woman can relate to her. She was a very likeable
character who was just trying to protect her heart. I loved Victoria
and Jared together, they were hot, and sweet and just perfect together.
They had a flirty relationship that I loved. Jared loved her and wanted
to protect her and make her happy. But what will happen when a past
love comes into play and insecurities, fears and trust issues begin to
surface again. Will Victoria finally get her happily ever after?
.
Abraham did a great job with this story and connecting the characters
to the reader. Happenstance was filled with all the emotions I love in a
book. It will make you smile and laugh out loud. It had just the
right amount of drama and angst, it will break your heart and hand it
back to you healed. It was a great ending to a wonderful story. Great
job by M.J. Abraham and I cannot wait for everyone to read Jared and
Victoria's story.
