Perfect Fling, Serendipity #5, by Carly Phillips
Grade: B
“Because though she wouldn’t let herself use the word, not even in the most private recesses of her own mind, she was falling in.....everything with Cole Sanders.”
Cole Sanders is heading home to Serendipity, New York after years of working as an undercover agent in new York City. Cole doesn’t quite know why he’s back in his hometown but he wants to try and find something he lost and check on his father who is sick. Cole didn’t expect to find Erin Mardsen still irresistible or willing to go to bed with him. That one night changes both of their lives forever and throws them together to battle not only new demons but old ones.
Erin Mardsen is sick of being the good girl of Serendipity and when Cole Sanders comes back in town she finally goes for what she’s always wanted: one night with Cole. That one night turns Erin’s world upside down and she soon needs Cole to not only warm her bed but protect her from a crazy stalker. The more time Erin spends with Cole the more she knows she wants to keep him and she sets out to do just that.
I had only read the first book in the Serendipity series so I was a little nervous jumping to book five but turns out I had nothing to worry about. Perfect Fling is a super cute book that was easy to fall into and filled me in on what happened in Serendipity from book one to five. I never felt lost or confused about what was going on or who anyone was and was able to jump right into Cole and Erin’s story, which is adorable.
I really liked Erin right from the get go and I think she is the reason I liked the book so much. Cole rubbed me the wrong way for the majority of the time and sometimes I wanted Erin to tell him to just go away. I did love that these two had history together and that each one was so into the other, even though Erin was the only one who would show it. I wish that Cole didn’t have his guard up so much and even though I like a broken hero, he was a little much for me. What made up for Cole’s surly attitude was the way he was protective of Erin and the chemistry between these two lit up the pages.
A big part of this book focuses on Erin being stalked and what annoyed me was it was very easy to figure out who it was very early on. I think I wanted more of a guessing game with the character’s identity and was disappointed when I didn't get it. I did really enjoy Cole and his interaction with his father. Even though it was heartbreaking it showed why Cole is the way he is and why he keeps everyone at a distance. I liked how these two storylines balanced out the romance and made the book so enjoyable.
All in all Perfect Fling is what every Carly Phillips fan loves and once again she does not disappoint. This book has just the right amounts of romance, action and healing to melt anyone's heart and keep them reading well into the night.
