Book Review: When Fate Decides


When Fate Decides
by Tricia McGill

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

GENRE: Contemporary Romance

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

BLURB:

For too long Tessa has seen herself as plain and dowdy, just an ordinary suburban housewife. With her confidence eroded after being married to a bully who humiliated her at every opportunity, why wouldn’t she presume she was unattractive, and someone no man would find the least bit worth bothering with?

But now Tessa is a widow, and relishing her new state of independence. Her world is turned upside down by Jack Delaney, a man she spent hours fantasizing over when he worked for her husband. A man who gave her a deliciously secret outlet from her miserable marriage. When Jack enters her life again, professing he finds her attractive, why would she believe him? Especially as he is now wealthy, successful, still extremely handsome, and to add to that, years younger than her.

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

EXCERPT:

As Tessa pulled the door open, the words of rebuke died on her lips. It most definitely wasn’t a salesman. The man who stood there, smiling, was one she’d never expected to see again in her lifetime.

“Mrs Browning. I don’t know if you remember me,” he said. Oh, how she remembered him, and that rich voice of his. “The name’s Jack Delaney. I did some work here a few years back for your husband.” When she continued to stare at him in shock, he added, “We built the games room and extra toilet and shower room.” He shrugged. “Another guy and me were here for a month or so? You’ve probably forgotten me.”

Forgotten him?

If there was one person Tessa would never be likely to forget, it was him. His voice sounded deeper, but still held that same undercurrent of sensuality that caused her toes to curl.


My Review:
Has there ever been a guy that totally mesmerized you, but he got away? That's what happened to Tessa Browning. She was fifteen years older than the boy in question and was married to an overbearing louse who destroyed her self esteem, but she still couldn't forget him. Her husband dies, and he reenters her life, and it seems that he's always felt the same way about her. Due to her age she can't imagine that he'd want her. The story revolves around Jack's pursuit of Tessa. If it had been me he wouldn't have had to work so hard because Jack is a great guy. If you like older women and younger guys together you'll like this one 4 out of 5 stars.
