While listening to this audiobook, I can not help myself hearing Trouble by Taylor Swift. Cause that song is the soundtrack of this book. Although in this book, have a HFN ending, the journey to that perfect ending is long ans sweet.

I remember Miss Fine's book. I have a fond memory of the first book. Perfect kind of Trouble is a modern take on Oliver Twist. The moral of the story is money is not everything. Having the person who loves you and accepts you for who you are, that is the true happine ...more

In the first book of this series, Best Kind of Broken, we met Daren and Kayla, and got a very interesting glimpse of the two of them together. Definitely enough to have me eagerly awaiting their full story, and I can happily say that I was not disappointed!

Best Kind of Broken was my first book by Chelsea Fine and I really liked it! I’ve been looking forward to Daren’s story and was so excited when I finally got a copy. The beginning of this book reminded me of Truly Madly Yours by Rachel Gibson, which isn’t a bad thing because it’s probably my favoritest book ever (I’ve read it about 7 times). Kayla has returned back home to her father’s funeral. A father who hasn’t spoken to Kayla in years and who Kayla wasn’t even aware was sick. If it weren’t for the fact that Kayla is broke, on her own and practically homeless, she might not have even come to his funeral. But when she finds out that he left her something in his will, she doesn’t really have any other options so she decides to stay until she gets her inheritance. Unfortunately, getting it means having to spend time with playboy Daren who was more of a son to Kayla’s dad. Daren loved and looked up to Kayla’s dad and can’t understand how Kayla couldn’t even come to visit her dad when he was dying. They both have their minds made up about each other and don’t really like each other. Too bad they have to spend the next few days handcuffed to each other while they search for clues left to them about the inheritance. I loved the concept for this book! Having Daren and Kayla handcuffed to each other while they don’t like each other (but are very much attracted to each other) was a lot of fun to read about.

He’s cocky but wounded, charming but lonely, with the sureness of a wealthy man and the desperation of a pauper. I can’t figure him out, but one thing is certain. Daren is not as tough or undamaged as he lets on

I liked this book, not as much as I liked Best Kind of Broken, but I still really enjoyed it. But, there was something that kept me from loving it. Apparently, Kayla has a rocking body and she’s super pretty and according to her ‘all girls hate her because they are jealous of how pretty she is’ and/or ‘all guys only look at her like a piece of meat because of how pretty she is.’ This came off as kind of conceited to me, but oh well. It was also weird how she complained about how people judged her based on her looks…but then she does the same thing to Daren.

“I’m willing to rub tongues all day if that’s what it takes. Hell, I’ll tongue you all night if it’ll get me off your Stranger Shit List.”

What bothered me the most was how much she mentions this throughout the book. I was like: I get it Kayla! You’re super hot and it’s made you’re life really hard because of this! Daren had a weird attitude too. Since his parents never really cared about him or had time for him growing up, he gets it into his head that the only thing he’s good for is sex, hence the manwhore thing…okay? The fact that these things played a pretty big role in the book (or way more than I would have liked) annoyed me. Another thing that bothered me was a few details about the whole handcuff situation. If you know me, you know that I can’t help but think about the weirdest shit when reading books. I can’t help it! Daren and Kayla are handcuffed together for a few days (I want to say at least 3 or 4 days) and while the shower situation is addressed (they shower in their undies), the bathroom situation is never mentioned! Daren briefly mentions once the cuffs are off that he’s happy he can pee in private…but what about when they have to go number 2??? Did they really go 3 days without crapping??? When they first got cuffed together, my first thought was ‘oh how embarrassing, they have to use the restroom in front (or right next) to each other.’ I warned you I think of the weirdest things…there’s something wrong with me.
My Fav Quotes From This Book:

He leans in a bit so our faces are just an inch apart and sinks his eyes deep into mine. Then quietly he says, “I see you.”
“You’re both inverted diamonds in the rough; polished on the outside, cracked and raw within. But priceless just the same.”

Perfect Kind of Trouble was a fun book. It was cute and sexy and I loved seeing Daren and Kayla really find out who the other person really is. Although I would have loved to seen more of Pixie and Levi, I was happy that we got to see more of Pixie’s aunt and I loved the role she played in this book. I enjoyed this one and I’m looking forward to reading the next book!! ...more

When Kayla Turners father dies, her life cannot possibly get any worse. Estranged from him for years, she only attends the funeral on the off chance that he possibly left her something in his will. He was incredibly wealthy and Kayla has been living in poverty for years with her ailing mother. Broke, homeless and out of options, Kayla is desperate for a new start. Daren Ackwood is a spoiled rich kid whom her father admired. Kayla cannot stand him, and unfortunately the only way for her to have a chance at her inheritance is to handcuff herself to him. They both have preconceived perceptions of each other, and they are not good. They also have an undeniable attraction to each other that makes their confinement to each other that much more frustrating.

This second book in the Finding Fate series is absolutely wonderful. It did take me a tad bit longer to get into Kayla and Daren’s story than it did Levi and Pixie from book one. However, as I lie here with a total book hangover, I find myself loving them even more. The whole world was against them. They were so broken and beat down from their respective pasts, that the last thing they could ever have imagined was that they would somehow end up together. There is so much miscommunication, not only between Kayla and Daren but also among the other people in their lives. As these two are led on a scavenger hunt to find the inheritance, so many secrets about their pasts are revealed that it literally changes everything they thought they knew.

Again Ms. Fine has done a fantastic job of making the buildup and the tension between her characters almost more intense and satisfying than the payoff. Neither Kayla nor Daren want to be together, both for very different reasons. They are fighting their feelings and their attraction for each other so badly because they feel that they cannot possibly take any more heartache. Their feelings however are just way too intense. I try not to do spoilers but I have to say that there is a shower scene that is so intense both physically and emotionally that I actually had to take a 10 minute break to recover. I feel like this couple had to work so much harder to realize that they should be together and that perhaps that is why I loved them so much. Their ending is in no way perfect, but this story absolutely is!

5 Stars and a Vodka Screwdriver for this one! Enjoy!

I truly enjoyed this book from beginning to end and am looking forward to the rest of the series. A thank you to Chelsea Fine for generously providing this ARC.

When Kayla returned to the small town her estranged father lived in, she has one goal, get through the funeral, get through the reading of the will and get on home, if her car will make it. Daren Ackwood plays the little rich kid/bad boy to the hilt, but the only man whoever really cared about him was Kayla’s father. Down to his last few dollars and getting his hot sports car repossessed is not part of his façade, but it is reality. He came to pay his respects to a man he cared about and fulfill the request to attend the reading of the will. Sounds pretty serious, doesn’t it?

Hang on for Chelsea Fine’s take on such a sobering occasion and see if you can make it through without laughing out loud a time or three! The Perfect Kind of Troubleis a New Adult Romantic delight as the will send these two on a scavenger hunt while handcuffed to each other. The preconceived notions these two had about each other are blown out of the water as they must learn to work together to reach their intended goal. Hmmm… what could replace distaste or dislike???? Only one thing, a budding romance, that begins to sprout under the strangest of circumstances.

Nothing short of absolutely total entertainment! Chelsea Fine takes the sadness out of death and fills the heart with romance, fun romance! Her sense of timing and her ability to encapsulate these two in their own little world is nothing short of true genius. And those supporting characters that always make a story “more”? They’re here, and they have done their part perfectly. A little bleakness, a lot of humor, some quirky moments and the brilliance of uncovering the people behind their out shells, priceless! Chelsea Fine is on a roll with this series!

Just before I started blogging too! I've decided to reread it now and share my thoughts :) The second time around was just as fun as the first. The whole reason I picked up this book in the first place was because the premise intrigued me. I mean handcuffing two people together to go on a treasure hunt? I'm in~

Kayla and Daren are two almost strangers. They've known of each other since they were young but never acknowledged each other until Kayla's father, James Turner's death. In his will, he stated that he left everything to the two of them but under one condition. He has hidden the money away and requested that they search for it together. In handcuffs. Of course, they resist the preposterous proposal at first. However, the two of them, for a very similar reason, could use the money. So quite reluctantly they decide to work together, for the money. Along the way, they teach and learn from each other in more ways than they thought possible.

Despite being Kayla's father, Daren was the one that saw Turner as a fatherly figure. He has respected and looked up to him ever since Turner helped him out when he was young. Kayla, on the other hand, resented her father because he never contacted her or showed any signs that he cared about her. Their difference in opinion of Turner set them at opposite ends. Both were stubborn, refusing to back down. However, as they got to spend more time together, they slowly lowered their defenses and put aside their hostilities. What if what they knew wasn't the full truth? They both realize there was more to each other than their initial impressions and assumptions. Daren may not be the playboy she's always pegged him to be and Kayla isn't the princess he's always figured she was. I'm glad they were brought together so they could learn the truths!

I may have guessed where the money was early on but I greatly enjoyed how the story turned out. It was quite the adventure with them stumbling into all sorts of bumps and snags. They definitely hit jackpot in more than one sense and I had a fun time watching them do it! ...more

You can read these books as stand alone novels, or as a series. (I highly recommend reading them as a series, but there won't be any huge spoilers if you choose not to.) You can read my review for the first book, Best Kind of Broken here.

Perfect Kind of Trouble follows Daren and Kayla on their journey to find the messages, and in the end, the truth that Kayla's dad (and Daren's pseudo-dad) left them after his death. Kayla and her father's relationship over the last few years has been rocky, at best, and usually not even that. She holds a lot of bitterness against her dad and it's not until way later that she learns that her bitter feelings are based on lies. Daren hasn't exactly been the ideal child, but with his biological parents not present in his life, Old Man Turner was all he had left. To say that his death rocked them in ways they didn't expect would be a huge understatement.

Kayla and Daren have known each other for years, but never as friends. It's not so much that they don't like each other, but they definitely don't like what they think they know about one another. When word gets around in a small town - it can be a very dangerous place for the human emotion. Unfortunately, Daren and Kayla are no exception to that rule and the town has more than contributed to the feelings that they have towards one another.

So, Daren thinks Kayla is a stuck up trust fund girl who takes and never gives, and Kayla thinks Daren is a spoiled rich kid that couldn't possibly want anything to do with her father. With mixed feelings towards seeing each other at his funeral, and no real want to ever spend any real time together, things get interesting when they're both called in to Mr. Turner's attorney's office to discuss his will. They've never had a reason to find out if the rumors about each other are true, never had a reason to get to know the person behind the mask. Now, if they want any chance at a new life and a positive outcome from the tragedy of losing their loved one, they're going to have to get to know each other...quickly, all thanks to Kayla's late father.

What could be more fun than a hot guy, a pair of handcuffs, and some sexual tension? Well... according to these two: a lot of things are much more fun, like say, a root canal. They're wrong though.. so, so wrong, and I believe you'll enjoy it more than the laughing gas before the root canal. (Everyone enjoys that stuff right? If you don't.. the you'll definitely enjoy it more than that! haha!) There will be laughter, there will be tears. Most of all though, there will be feelings, and truths exposed. Lives will be changed and love will be found. I guess these two really are the Perfect Kind of Trouble (for me to lose myself in, and for you to do the same).

I just wanna take one quick second, applaud Chelsea for writing about the hard stuff. You'll find that Kayla's mother in this story, has faced some pretty rough circumstances - and in turn, so has Kayla. The subjects that Chelsea broaches in her books are never easy, but she never fails to grab the reader's attention with enough humor and sarcasm lined with the seriousness of the issues. It's never easy to write about things like death, abuse, loss, and even homelessness. I know that first hand. So, again, even though she knows how I feel: Thank you Chelsea, for being brave and getting these issues out there in whatever shape you can.
