Determinism is the second book in the Life. Destiny. Fate series by LK Collins; each book in this series can be read as a stand-alone. I have been eagerly awaiting the release of this book for quite some time and I must say Collins definitely delivered. I really loved Vincent and Alexa’s story in book one, but Abel and Cara have blown them out of the water.Cara is a nurse, she works hard and is good at her job. She’s Alexa’s BFF and is always there for her, no matter the situation. On the outside she looks very much the put together professional with super model good looks, but when it comes to her love life – she’s a disaster. Always falling fast and hard for the wrong kind of man. The most frustrating thing is she can’t seem to find an attraction towards the right kind of man… worried she is destined to live one heartbreak after another she decides to put love on the back burner and focus on herself.Abel is tattooed sex on a stick. He is a firefighter, fire chief to be exact, and Vincent’s brother. He’s a bit of a ladies man, always up for a good time, but he’s bored with the one-night-stand scene. Unsure of what he really wants he is confused at the instant attraction to Cara and the idea that he might want her for more than just a roll in the hay. Abel is the epitome of everything Cara is trying to avoid so she isn’t going to give into his flirtatious ways.Determinism is one of those books that takes you by surprise. You think you know that it’s going to be this fun, flirty, and sexy tale of how a bad boy falls for the good girl and the good girl fixes his bad boy ways… but that isn’t it at all. This is a story about two people who are broken in more ways than should be possible finding their way to each other and struggling through the trials that life throws at them. The chemistry between Cara and Abel is enough to set your Kindle on fire… I know there were several times I was begging for Abel to use his hose on me, I mean IT – the Kindle… you know. (Ahem)Anywho, the author definitely has a way with the smut. It will have you looking for a little red of your own. *wink* I don’t want to give you any spoilers for the big things that happen throughout the book, but I want to make sure you understand that while this is a very erotic novel, it also has a storyline that will keep you sucked in from the beginning. There are a few places that you will feel the desire to smash your Kindle, email the author, and maybe curse the unfairness of it all at your non-book-reading friends because you’ll be THAT insane with needing to know what happens next. This is a definite MUST READ!  I give it a full five stars for storyline and five red fishnet bodysuits… you know since panties are completely optional according to one of the characters.Review written by the Head Whore at Mommy’s a Book Whore.
