Life can change in the blink of an eye. One moment, Lily Preston is trapped in a loveless marriage. In a split second she is free, but at what cost? Her mundane life is set into a free fall of tragedy and terror. Her husband maybe out of her life, but he left a storm of collateral damage behind and the burden is on Lily to sort it out.

Fate connects Lily with Gavin Edwards, a charmingly handsome British gentleman that has been drawn into her tangled circumstance. Gavin is everything Lily’s husband wasn’t and gives her hope that love really does exist. Gavin wants nothing more than to sweep Lily up and carry her off into the sunset, far away from the devastation left behind by her husband. Gavin has been the first breath of fresh air in her life, but she isn’t looking to be saved. She needs to clean up her husband’s mess and find a way to save herself in the process.

Does she throw caution to the wind and open her heart? Or listen to her head that tells her and go it alone until she’s found herself again?

HOLY accident! My goodness this book had me from saying “damn, that’s too bad” to “YES! you go girl”. It was quite good with all the craziness going on.

Lily’s life turned upside down within seconds. Receiving news that her husband is dead is the last thing she expected. Not that she cared much of him. She was trapped in a loveless marriage. Now with this news, she is able to start new. But circumstances brings her to danger and she must learn how to find a way to get out of this trap.

Gavin’s marriage brought him nothing but drama. Even though his wife is an addict, he loves her dearly. Now that she is gone, fates bring him hope. A new beginning with Lily. But will he be willing to go through the same danger he faced with his deceased beloved wife?
From the moment I started the story, I had issues with Lily. I thought her character was weak. She sure fooled me. This woman is one heck of a strong person. Not only did she had to endured such loveless marriage but then she had to face many obstacles. And she deal with them like no other. What I loved most about Lily is the fact that she met someone that is willing to give her everything… but she wanted to start her new life fresh. With no man supporting her. She wanted to live life for herself. Make something good out of herself. To be independent. To be strong and bring something to this new relationship. Bravo.

When Fates Collide is entertaining and inspiring. A story about second chance at life with touch of romance along with some twist and turns. With no doubt, I am looking forward reading the next installment.
