Fortuity, the first in the all-new, emotional and romantic Fortuity Duet by Rochelle Paige, is available NOW!

The only kinds of luck I knew were bad and worse...until my life hung in the balance. I finally caught a break in the form of a second chance.

I vowed not to let it go to waste.

To make a difference.

But I didn’t start really living until I met him.

Dillon Montgomery.

My complete opposite—except for our matching tortured souls.

I couldn’t resist him for long.

How could I when his smallest touch made my heart race?

When it felt like we were destined to be together.

But sometimes luck and sorrow are intertwined…

Excerpt:

Dillon twisted his neck and flashed me an apologetic grin over his shoulder. Unwanted butterflies swirled in my belly, and I quickly yanked my hands away from his shoulders and took a step backwards. His eyes flashed with male satisfaction and his grin grew wider. Determined to ignore the impact he had on me, I shifted my focus to the students. “Your test date is coming fast, so you’ll need to squeeze in as much extra study time as you can without neglecting your regular coursework. Maybe set aside some time during Thanksgiving break when you don’t have as much homework.” “Ugh. Studying over break sucks,” one of the girls complained. “Yeah, but you guys are in the homestretch. This test score is one of the last things you need to get into college. Trust me, it’ll be worth the extra effort.” “I guess if you could get into college while recovering from a transplant, then the least I can do is a little bit of studying over a holiday break that isn’t even that big of a deal since I don’t have a family to celebrate it with anyway.” The other kids nodded in agreement, and I snuck a peek at Dillon while everyone finished packing up. His brown eyes were wide with shock. I quickly looked away before he could ask me anything, and focused on saying my goodbyes as the kids all headed out. We both kept quiet—for which I was incredibly grateful—as Dillon helped me clean up the room. When we were back on the road, I turned to him and asked, "Were you really teaching my kids how to count cards?” His lips tilted up at the edges. “Maybe just a little.” “It’s a good thing none of them have any money to gamble or else they might learn to enjoy blackjack as much as you do.” His lip tilt turned into a full-fledged grin, and I glared at him. “I don’t know why you’re grinning at me! Look at what your affinity for gambling got you.” “What?” He pointed at his face. “The black eye?” “Yeah, for starters.” His grin grew into a blinding smile. “It was worth it.” “What? Why?” “Because it’s the reason I met you.” Shit. Those damn butterflies took flight in my stomach again.

REVIEW:

3.5 stars

***

Fortuity was a pretty good, sweet book. This is Dillon and Faith's story. Faith is an orphan whose single mother died of a drug overdose, leaving her in foster care for years. When careless treatment by her foster parents leads to a medical issue, Faith's life is put in danger and she is forced to undergo a kidney transplant. Now, she is finally getting her life on track. She is a senior in college, working towards a degree in counseling. She also begins counseling high school students in the foster care system on how to get into and pay for college. A wealthy society lady (Dillon's mother) meets and becomes involved with Faith, helping raise money for her charity. Dillon is also a college senior at Faith's college. After he gets in a fight in a casino, his mother recruits him to help Faith, as well. When the two meet, they have an instant connection and soon start a relationship. But some things are not as they seem and they have some obstacles they are going to have to overcome in book two of this duet.

I liked this book. The story was interesting. I felt like the beginning and back story took a bit too long to get going. It was a little slow moving and the couple doesn't meet until 40%. It feel kind of YA until they met and quickly developed feelings for each other. I did like Dillon and Faith a lot. It was obvious they loved each other. They are both good people with good intentions. Dillon is not a manwhore and he is head over heels for Faith from the beginning. It was great to see them both find happiness and overcome difficult pasts. They had a sweet, somewhat innocent relationship and a strong connection. There is a twist, which I figured out pretty quickly, and a cliffhanger ending, but it isn't a relationship cliffhanger so I have hopes for an easy resolution in book two, Serenity.

Overall, this was a sweet, enjoyable NA read. It did feel a little young for me, I was not too bothered. Fortuity was a quick, easy, safe read. I enjoyed seeing the endearing and charming relationship develop between the couple. I look forward to the conclusion to Dillon and Faith's simple love story and more from Ms. Paige!
