Fresh Fiction Review

Christmas in Destiny
Toni Blake

Reviewed by Annie Tegelan

Holiday | Romance Contemporary

Toni Blake indulges readers with a new installment in the Destiny series. I thought the series was over, which makes this book an extra sweet treat to look forward to this holiday. Needless to say, I was very excited when I learned there was going to be another book in this world.

Blake plays up the sense of community in this book so well that it really feels like a book that is bigger than itself. There's a heartwarming quality to it that has it brimming with good vibes and warm spirits. I dare you not to feel the holiday spirit after reading this book.

But in addition to these wonderful side characters, Blake has two amazingly well developed characters in Shane Dalton and Candice Sheridan. Shane meant to pass through Destiny before he reached his job in Miami. But when he gets stuck in a blizzard, his only hope is sweet Candice to give him shelter. Naturally, Candice is wary of this man at first, but she can also tell that there is more to him than meets the eye.

The romance in this book is absolutely breathtaking. It'll sweep you off your feet and have you grinning from ear to ear. There's also a secondary romance blooming that I thought was a nice added touch to the book.

However, I have to say that my favorite part of the book is actually the ending. Blake caps off this series so well that it almost makes me feel content to have this series end. And yet, I could still read a hundred more books set in Destiny, Ohio. These books have everything I want in a Contemporary Romance so if you haven't read them yet, I would highly suggest trying them out. You won't find stories more sweet and passionate as these ones!

SUMMARY

“Go to Destiny. There’s something waiting there for you.”

Shane Dalton’s new life is waiting in Miami, complete with fast cars and faster women. But first, he’s heeding his father’s dying words and stopping off in Destiny, Ohio. The detour wasn’t supposed to include a busted pickup and a blizzard. But Candice Sheridan, the cute redhead who reluctantly offers shelter, could prove a pleasant diversion. Trouble is, she thinks Shane’s bad news. And he’s pretty sure she’s right . . .

Candice had her trust broken once before. Yet something about Shane won’t let her stay away. By Christmas, he’ll be gone. Until then, she’s itching to stop playing nice and safe . . . and try being a little naughty for once.

As their holiday romance heats up, Shane uncovers a shattering secret and Candice is preparing to face heartache once again. But there’s no better place than Destiny—especially at Christmastime—for two lost souls to find the gift of sweet, surprising love . . .
