I very much enjoyed Ms. Phillips' older books, but the ones lately have not appealed as much.
This one gives me hope for the series. It was comfortable yet fun from the beginning. Just a good, fun read. Looking forward to the next two in the series.

Serendipity was a good book from start to finish. Ethan is a character who returns home to "Serendipity" looking for redemption. Faith is the girl who got away, the princess who lived in the house on the hill and had everything Ethan didn't have. Now the tables have turned and Ethan is rich and successful while Faith's father is in jail after pulling a Ponzi scheme and losing everything. When Ethan hires Faith to decorate his new house (the house she grew up in that her father lost to bankruptcy), sparks fly. I love the emotional depth of the characters and the back story. I didn't like the character of Kelly. It really annoyed me the way she dropped off Ethan's surprise half sibling without even checking Ethan's background or knowing what he was like. It was heartless and utterly ridiculous. Despite this plot twist the book was great.

Awesome story. Wonderful characters in a very well written, down to earth story. I recommend anything by Carly Phillips. Her writing style is awesome. The story will keep your interest and make you laugh. There is passion, love, understanding and much more in this book. Can't wait for the next two in this series!
