Description from the publisher:

When London was fifteen, a fortune teller told her she would meet her soul mate on June 23rd. The only problem is, which June 23rd? The woman wasn’t specific and only called him her dreamer. Desperate to find her mystery man eleven years later, London sets out to search for him but is waylaid by a mugger instead.

Elliot has had his eye on the woman who jogs past the park where he coaches his nephew’s baseball team for the past month. When he’s the first responder for a mugging victim on June 23rd, she’s barely conscious. She’s the woman tattooed on his chest. He’s seen her in his dreams and has been drawing her for years.

They’ll both sound crazy if they reveal their secrets, but they can’t stay away from each other. Elliot has priorities, promises made to his late sister. London’s trying to live a more intentional existence instead of waiting for everything to fall in her lap.

Can they fulfill the destiny predicted by the fortune teller? Or will fate be undone?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The #meetcute books are all about the unusual way that couples meet.  Each book by a different author and not a series as much a group of books built around that central idea – how did you meet?

Fortune teller, dreams that are premonitions, ghosts, and even a brief cameo from one of the men of Pierce Securities - this was one of those books that had me claiming “insomnia.”  You know what I mean – I can’t sleep, because I really need to read another chapter and another and another… until I find the end! 

To say that I loved it would be an understatement.  The characters, main and supporting, all have significance and importance.

I am so glad that I read this book and would highly recommend it to anyone with a dream of finding their destiny, or who has found theirs and wants to smile as they remember those days of feeling Fortune’s Kiss touching them.

Description from the publisher:

Six years ago, the only girl I ever loved moved away.
She said she’d come back to me.
She promised she’d write.
She swore she’d always be mine, but Evie Harper lied.

Now, Evie’s back, and this time, I’m not letting her go without a fight.

Before senior year, I was forced to move away, leaving behind the only boy I ever loved.
He said he’d love me forever.
He promised nothing would tear us apart.
He swore he’d wait for me, but Jack Nelson lied.

Now, Jack wants to make me his again, but he may never be able to forgive my sins.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MEND is a stand-alone, second-chance romance.

Tissue alert!  Make sure you have a full box!!  This story brought tears of sadness, frustration, laughter, and joy.  This was a lovely, sweet, second-chance romance that I gives me chills all over again in reminiscing as I write this.

I wouldn’t want to give anything away, but just know that there is deception and a secret that must be revealed – both of which will bring out the tissues.

While Chelle C. Bliss is known for a lot more steam in her stories, this is sweet with only a bit of mild steam.  Still, the steam level is right for this second-chance couple as they find one another again.

One additional note:  the blurb tells you about Jack and Evie, because this is their story.  It maybe should also mention Evan.  He is Evie’s friend and almost stole the show!  Every girl needs a friend like Evan…. Maybe someone could talk Ms. Bliss into a little follow up novella about our man?
