Infallible

Serendipity, Book 3

De: Charlene Namdhari

Narrado por: J. Tipstone, Connor Hayes, Simone Lewis

This love triangle is best enjoyed after book one and going in with an open mind.

"Sometimes the wrong choices take us to the right places."

My past: I was 18 when I first gave away my heart. A love so profound, I didn't understand it.

My present: I never had to prove she was mine until he makes an appearance. Tall, dark, and older.

My future: Should I walk away and not look back or stay and this time let destiny guide my heart?

Note: triggers—contains MM/MFM scenes. While each book can be listened to as a stand-alone, the Serendipity series has a crossover of characters and might be enjoyable if listened to in order.

More twists & turns than I expected

I’m still trying to wrap my mind around my thoughts. I had a few moments of “Whaaaaaat?”, “Huh?”, & also “I’m so confused right now!” But no worries…patience is a virtue and all that…everything was aexplained in its own time, & the level of devotion these characters possessed shed light onto the craziest of situations & circumstances.

There were a few different time frame changes that brought this book to life. We experienced Rayden when he was 18, so we saw a point in his life when he wasn’t the jaded by love man we knew from Intoxication. His reason for his jaded nature, having loved and lost more than once, as well as his level of devotion was shown and explored.

Zena, Rayden’s lost love, has lived a hard life. She’s grown up on the streets & every thing she is today is completely self made. The problem…this makes for a bad equation of selfishness & a dominance that she can’t really harness.

Lorenzo was a surprise. I felt like I wasn’t supposed to like him, but there was something about his cool demeanor towards Rayden & Zena, even though he was basically a Mafia Don. He showed a side of a made man that we don’t often see, but as they are human, they have human emotions & interactions.

This book took several twists and turns that I feel like I should’ve seen coming, but at the same time, some surprised me. The intense love poured out onto the pages & when hearts broke, I felt it. The intimate encounters were scorching hot & some just solidified the fact that you can’t always dictate the love in your heart.

I loved the glimpse into the life of the Princeton family at the end, & I loved how they bantered with each other showing a different kind of love forged through harsh & troubling times.

Audiobook Review:
Connor Hayes delivered another great performance as Rayden & completely immersed me in the emotions of a man torn through loss. This was my first listen to Simone Lewis & J. Tipstone, I believe. Both did a stellar job of embodying their characters. Simone did great portraying a scared turned severely jaded woman. And J. Tipstone’s portrayal of a heartless mafia boss to a man accepting & mending broken pieces in others was incredible.

AMAZING!!!!

out of the three books so far, Infallible has been my favorite. I totally did not see the twist coming at all!!! so freaking Amazing! loved all the characters! I highly recommend the series!

Best of the series so far!!

The first two books were good and I’m glad I read them for the back story, but so far this one is the best!! 🌶️🌶️🌶️🔥🔥🔥 great story and plot twists. Love love loved it!

Swooning for Lorenzo

This one is by far my favorite of the Serendipity series! I fell head over heels for Lorenzo, and eventually Rayden too. However, I never did warm up to Zena. I just didn't like her from the very beginning. The whole story is a serious thrill ride.

So good…

Every book gets better and better and the twists, turns, and surprises are more shocking than the ones before. We finally learn about Zeena and what really happened after her “accident”. Rayden is forced to face some hard truths about himself and the ones he loves. It was great seeing him battle with the hurt and damage done from the past to better help him see his future. There are a lot of assumptions and miscommunications in this book that add to the drama, so be prepared to want to hurl your headphones across the room during some scenes.

Plot Summary: The story starts in the past, on Rayden’s 18th birthday. While most 18-year-old guys are looking to get laid (and Rayden is), what they don’t usually expect is having to work a job that isn’t theirs to help the girl he hopes will confirm she is his girlfriend.

What transpires is a series of life altering events that snowball over the years, bring us back to when Zeena sends a secret message to Rayden through Ashrika. After his recent heartbreak over Siana, he is more determined than ever to figure out what happened and how Zeena can be alive after she died in a horrific car accident.

When Rayden and Zeena come face to face for the first time, he not only learns where she has been and what she has been up to all this time but comes to realize the love he thought he had for her, was misplaced and misguided, leaving him with a choice that will lead to another broken heart, or to the love he has always wanted.

Favorite Quotes: Live every moment to its fullest because it might not be there tomorrow. Someone who loves me truly is a rare find, and if I find that person, then that’s the one for me. I have to hold onto that hand no matter what and no matter who that hand belongs to.

I can’t promise not to make you cry, baby, but I will kiss away your tears. I can’t promise not to make you angry, but I will hold you until you calm down. I can’t promise not to leave you, but only if you ask me to go. And I can’t promise not to hurt you, but I will try until I die.

Love doesn’t judge or criticize, but it sure as fuck lets you feel so alive that you breathe in toxic air, lets you get lost in another wise cruel world that will have no impact on your emotions, lets you want to smile forever, even if your jaw aches.
