HTML: A SERENDIPITY'S FINEST NOVELLA
Carly Phillips' Serendipity's Finest series has been hailed as "Carly Phillips at her finest!"* Now the New York Times bestselling author returns to the small town of Serendipity where fate can play tricks with the heart, and love can be the most unexpected emotion of all...
As dedicated a doctor as she is, Alexa Collins can't help but feel exhausted trying to live up to her father's expectations. And because of that unyielding commitment to her profession, Alexa has a built up a wall of defenses, especially when it comes to personal relationships. She simply hasn't got the time??or the inclination. That was before she met pro football player Luke Thompson.
Luke was passing through Serendipity looking for a good time. And he was determined to show Alexa how good it could be. For Alexa, a one-night stand was a promising diversion. After all, Luke would be gone in a few days, no strings attached. But she never imagined how quickly he'd break down her defenses, and leave her vulnerable to feelings she was hoping, with all her heart, to avoid. Now, how can she possibly say goodbye to so perfect a stranger as Luke?
Praise for Carly Phillips:

Perfect Strangers is a quick novella and part of the Serendipity’s Finest series. It’s a standalone story although our heroine, Alexa, has popped up a few times in the previous books in this series and also in the original Serendipity series. The book was also originally part of the Hot Summer Nights anthology.
Dr Alexa Collins is a driven workaholic. On a rare night out, she bumps into sexy, sweet cowboy, Luke Thompson and has an instant connection. But will their one night together turn into anything more when their personalities - and lives - are so very different.
I liked our heroine, Alexa, immensely. She’s a workaholic, people pleaser and likes to do what she feels is right. It was hard not to feel sorry for her and want her to get her happily ever after. She wears her heart on her sleeve and just needed someone to put her and her needs and wants first.
If Alexa is the “grumpy” in the relationship, Luke is definitely the sunshine. He was all in with Alexa from the start and makes no bones about it. He wanted what was best for Alexa and wanted to make her happy. How could you not love a hero that’s so smitten with his woman? He’s also got that ‘aw shucks’, sexy Texan drawl thing going on that made both me and Alexa weak in the knees.
This is a short book and starts off as a one-night stand / one-day stand situation - but surprisingly, Alexa and Luke do get to know each other before they sleep together. It’s still hot and sexy - just what you want and expect from Carly Phillips. Our couple had a delicious chemistry both sexually and as friends. The perfect pairing.
If I have one complaint about this book is that of any book - this one was crying out for an epilogue. With compromises needing made for our pair to be together, I would have loved to see their lives 6 months, a year, 2 years etc into the future. And I do so love a good epilogue. It wasn’t enough to knock the book down to 4 stars but I admit it crossed my mind.
Short books sometimes lack the full story arc to make them satisfying but this was short, sweet and perfect. It had everything I want and need in a story - great characters, wonderful chemistry, good sex and enough obstacles thrown in their way to keep things interesting. I enjoyed this story and if you like Carly Phillips’ books, you will definitely enjoy it, too. (
