Blog Tour + Review: Fortuity by Jewel E. Ann
Fortuity, an all-new inspirational and moving standalone contemporary romance from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jewel E. Ann, is available now!
Forty-something Gracelyn Glock is living the dream.
No husband.
No retirement plan.
And since her self-imposed man-ban—no need to shave above her knees.
After a tragic accident, Gracelyn inherits her ten-year-old nephew. She signs a lease on a San Diego beach house and learns their neighbors for the summer are a sexy anatomy professor and his young daughter.
Professor Nathaniel Hunt has spent the last decade being a single dad . . . and not having sex.
So when he discovers Gracelyn has a peculiar outdoor stripping ritual, a million inappropriate thoughts fill his responsible mind.
When kisses are stolen, man-bans are broken, and summer comes to an end, will hearts stay in one piece and hope stay alive? Or will saying goodbye destroy everything?

"Hope shouldn't shackle the heart; it should free it."
It has been more than two years since I read a book by Jewel E. Ann, and I regret taking this long because I really missed her writing. Fortuity was such a fun book to read, and it hooked me right from the start. This is the third book in the Transcend series, but it can be read as a stand-alone. I haven't read the first two books, and didn't personally feel like I was missing any essential information. I connected to the main characters Nate and Gracelyn right away, and was looking forward to seeing how their story would develop. Both are in their forties (which I loved): Gracelyn is 41 and Nate is 46. Nate is a single father of the ten year old Morgan, and Gracelyn just received custody of her ten year old nephew Gabriel. They meet when they become neighbors at a beachfront home in San Diego.
The dynamic of the relationships between all the characters was absolutely amazing. I just couldn't get enough, and I especially loved Nate's daughter Morgan. She is such a smart young lady, and I loved her bond with her dad. This book was hilarious, emotional at times, and very sexy. The growth of Nate and Gracelyn's relationship felt very organic. Besides the romantic relationship between the main characters, I also enjoyed seeing them grow as individuals. They both had things they had to deal with and heal. Jewel E. Ann is a phenomenal writer, and I really need to go back and read the books I haven't yet. I highly recommend Fortuity to readers who enjoy light and fun contemporary romances. Also if the single parent trope is one of your favorites, then I think you'll enjoy this book even more.
