The circle of life, fate, call it want you want. When it’s meant to be, it will happen. The author took us on a journey from start to finish, the pieces all fell into place and I had an understanding of what the beginning was about by the end of the book. Ric, Megan and the little one were a family waiting to happen. The chemistry was there, strange events were drawing them together. I enjoyed this magical moments in the back of this story. All up an entertaining tale.

Just for Megan is an emotionally sweet and melancholy romance that works beautifully. The infusion of mystical and spiritual entities gives this story an additional layer of meaning. Megan O’Dwyer is a single mother of a two-year old daughter, Alannah. At 13 years of age, Megan lost her father in a terrible car crash and hasn’t come to terms with it yet. Her father, Brady, was a good man who saved someone’s life in that crash, but Death came for him. The fate of Ric Pallindino changed in that very moment. Seven years after that crash, Megan is on her way to her second job and her Jeep refuses to move. She has no choice but to ride her old, half-broken down, bike and hope for the best. On her way home, it starts to pour and Rico Pallandino spots her trying, and not really succeeding, to keep the bike upright. He tries to stop her and is stunned by her electric blue eyes. “Fate held her breath.” The more they see of each other, they are sure that this is going to go somewhere. It’s not all smooth sailing. Megan worries that, if she falls for Ric, will he be able to love Alannah as a father would? For Ric, the coming month is going to be really difficult for him. He has some skeletons in his closet that he hasn’t addressed yet. If he doesn’t face them, it might be too damaging for his relationship with Megan. Melanie Bennett has crafted a wonderful book in which she uses ethereal prose within and between chapters that adds so much to its feeling and timelessness.
An intriguing second chance romance story, it is captivating and emotional. Strong chemistry with the characters and a well-written book. The pleasure to read this book.
