I fell into this story and could not put it down. This definitely makes you feel everything that you should feel while grieving and falling in love. I laughed and cried with these characters as they fell in love and fought for that love. I would love to see more set in this world.
This was a beautiful and very emotional book. The author drew me in from the very first page with the characters and I would highly recommend it to all!!

Wow … an amazing read! It is a fast pace page-turner with an interesting and exciting story line; is well written, moves at a brisk pace, and flows smoothly. The plot is well-developed and consistent. It is drama-filled and emotionally wrenching with a surprising shocking twist. The characters are likeable; the chemistry between them is undeniable and instant. A really great read!

This is the first book I have read by the author and it will not be the last. Ana is a doctor who tragically lost her husband in a car accident four years ago and has not really been living. Her best friend Gary gets her the best Christmas present so she can spend the holiday away from the reminders of her past. Grayson is the sexy piano player that Ana meets in her hotel and from the moment she sees him, she has a vague recollection of knowing him from somewhere. Grayson is not without his own share of tragedy but he cannot help but feel drawn to Ana. However, there is a dark secret that is looming and what will happen once the truth is finally revealed? This is one well written storyline but it would have been better as a longer work. It felt as if the ending was a little rushed and could have used an epilogue. I volunteered to read a copy of this book.
This is a great story and a very emotional journey. I love the characters and the plot is completely captivating from beginning to end. Grayson and Ana are so great. Their journey, their past, their present and hopefully their forever. This is must read story that I could not put down. This is beautiful story.
It was so unfortunate that both of them lost someone unexpectedly. As tragic as it was, they still had to move on and live life. They did not really do that until they accepted the truth between them.

What can I say? Bella never fails at writing. This lady writes with her heart and soul, to give her readers her all! This book had all the feels. I cried through a whole box of tissues with this one. I felt everything that Annabelle felt. My heart broke with her and helped with her. I was walking through life (book) with Grayson and Annabelle. Bella’s story telling only gets better and better with each wonderful story she tells and shares with us! If you only read 1 book while in quarantine lol you have to read Destined!!! I promise you will not be disappointed!!
I was on an emotional ride with this one. It’s a short story but filled with so much heartbreak and emotion and passion, that I had a hard time putting it down. I’ll admit that I cried and it’s because you can feel everything for Ana coming off the pages. There are always second chances at love and the story is also sweet because out of tragedy, you can always find something good.
After a tragedy Ana finds the holiday season difficult, and when her best friend offers her a trip to London, she grabs it. No spoilers though: this is a must read, you will not be disappointed. This is a good story which is heart-breaking, heart-warming and with an unexpected twist which all had me intrigued throughout this short read, and I recommend for all.
I always enjoy reading books by Bella and this was no different a short novella that still packed so much with a twist i wasn’t expecting. So glad i got the chance to read this
Bella Emy does it again. Another great read!!
