Who doesn’t love a story involving handcuffs?Gotcha thinking, didn’t I? Sorry to disappoint; this isn’t a kinky, handcuffed, sex filled romp. PERFECT KIND OF TROUBLE is the story of two very lost, very broken individuals who happen to find exactly what they need in the most unlikely of places."Every other guy on the planet is just that: a guy. But Daren is a force. And I am a feather."If you read the first book in the Finding Fate series, BEST KIND OF BROKEN, which I highly recommend you do, you may recall a scene where Daren trudges up to the inn handcuffed to a girl. Does it ring a bell? This is book explains just exactly what on earth was going on with the cuffs, and the girl.Daren, Daren, Daren. That boy is not at all what he appears to be. He’s wearing a faade so thick you’d need a hell of a lot of make-up remover, and possibly some sandpaper, to remove it. It’s so good that at times I think he fool himself. For all intense and purposes he looks like your everyday spoiled ass rich kid. He’s not. At all. He’s lost a lot in his life and most isn’t even money related. His mother skipped town after making some very questionable decisions, his father is a drunk, and he just lost one of the few people who actually gave a rat’s ass about him, to cancer. Did I mention his car was repossessed? The guy can’t win.Kayla Turner is beauuuutiful, and hates it. She doesn’t want men to want her for her looks. She wants them to see deeper to the person inside. Understandable. Unfortunately she hasn’t found anyone, and she’s not looking either. When her estranged father passes away she finds herself thrown five years into the past. Things aren’t always as they seem; people aren’t always who they portray themselves to be."I notice a new tear in the seam of my suitcase and I sigh. First my family tree, then my job and home, and now my suitcase?Is there anything in my life that isn’t falling to pieces?"Who knew one man’s Will could cause so much drama?! I absolutely LOVE James Turner, or maybe it’s his ghost that I love. The idea that even after his passing he is still positively effecting lives gives me goose bumps. Chelsea Fine does a superb job of reminding her readers that there are AT LEAST two sides to every story.If you haven’t read any Chelsea Fine books, or have and are looking for your next great read, I highly recommend this book, this series, all of it. These are the types of books that leave you with a smile on your face and hope in your heart. If Daren and Kayla can make it work, can find their little slice of hope and happiness in a big fat sh*t pie, why can’t we?From way up here, you can see the whole world, he said. And when you can see the whole world, your troubles don’t look so big.Add this to your TBR list. Better yet, go out and buy it.
