Turn of Fate

Jiffy Kate

4.63 AVERAGE


I'm kicking myself for not reading this book sooner. I had it forever on my kindle, and it was the only Jiffy Kate book I hadn't read. Why? I. do. not. know. It's one of the earlier stories and, in my opinion, one of their most powerful ones. Tripp Alexander and Loren Jenson are adorable, and their story is a redemption journey filled with raw emotion, love, self-discovery, fate, and second chances.

I don't think this book receives the credit it deserves. So if you are looking for an amazing and emotional reading, set in NOLA, give this book a chance. Just go for it. You will thank me later.

This book is my top three book this year, and that's kind of a huge feat since I'm encroaching on my 100 book goal for the year. These ladies know what they are doing, and they do it very well. So well, in fact, that I can't help but compare their stories to those of the Queen, Colleen Hoover. They do Southern Romance at it’s best - with some completely flawed characters who just want to love and be loved in this life.

Jiffy Kate doesn't disappoint in The Other One, their third book release; their second release this year. I've read their other two books as well [Finding Focus and Chasing Castles], and while they are known for a little more romantic comedy story - the Other One takes a more dark and gritty approach to romance. If you are looking for a new author to obsess over, these two ladies need to take that place. They are spot on in their stories and are blazing their own trail in the indie world!

It's so beautiful to figure out who Tripp is and what happened in his life to cause him to be so shut off, broken, and confused. Then there is Loren; she's just as broken and alone under completely different, but still similar circumstances. When these two lives collide, there is no stone left unturned as they learn about each other and their pasts; however their secrets come back to haunt them and threaten to ruin it all. Can they find a place of forgiveness and love? Can they find a peace that neither of them knew was even possible? You have to read to find out, and believe me, the journey is rocky and you might Tripp a few times… but it’s so worth it. ←- see what I did there? (Pun intended!) Ha!

Jiffy Kate did it again! This book grabs your attention from the beginning and does not let go. Tripp and Loren's story goes way beyond your typical love story. It's about love and loss, finding yourself, letting go of the past and embracing the future, overcoming your fears, and facing your demons. It's daring to hope and dream, and following your destiny. I have completely fallen in love with this book and I look forward to reading it over and over again!!!

A good enough story, but I’m not sure I’m a fan of the extended flashbacks. This is set in the Blue Bayou / NOLA world but a few years ahead of Shaw/Avery. More NA. There were a few typos and grammatical errors.

Note: called both Turn of Fate and The Other One
