Malia and Palmer's story was such a successful follow up to this series. Both strong characters with depth and intelligence. You can never go wrong picking up a title from Jennifer Probst. She should be on your must read lists every time!

I was absolutely obsessed with this story. I can't wait til September to be able to share this one with other reader friends and have them download and read asap.

This would be a good summer read. Enjoyed it. I’ve read this author before and her style keeps the story moving.

So it goes was a pleasant read.. I haven't read any other books by this author so didn't know what to expect. It was a quick read for me as it wasn't overly complicated to follow. Malia and Palmer are likeable characters who you end up rooting for.

A four-star read that unravels its layers like a sweet onion. This is number two in the Twist of fate series, Malia and Palmer are well matched and make a good pair in the end, I like how they got there as well, but they could have done with a little more detail, a few of the characters could, I loved the first book in the series and was so excited for this one, but it felt a little flat, but that could be me, I liked the whole thing, it juts lacked in parts.

I have been a fan of Jennifer Probst books since The Wedding Bargain and so I was super excited to read this one.

Palmer and Malia are business associates and on the day that Malia announces a change in her role, we learn that Palmer had deep feelings for her beyond business. What follows is a fun, moving, and sexy story.

This book had me hooked from page 1 and I ended up reading until the wee hours and then decided that I needed to wait until morning to savor the ending. It was such a great story. Palmer and Malia are business associates and on the day that Malia announces a change in her role, we learn that Palmer had deep feelings for her beyond business. What follows is a fun, moving, and sexy story. Both of their families are funny and supportive, and I would love to have dinner with them! The charity work theme that flows through the book is very poignant and inspired me to do more. Thank you so much for the appearance of those special guests.

Thankyou Net Galley and Jennifer Probst for giving me access to the Advanced Reader Copy of So It Goes.

So It Goes - This is an amazing book that had me hooked onto the pages waiting for their relationship to bloom! Malia and Palmer - both of them are powerhouses, know what they want, confident people. I loved them both and the family dynamics was great as well. I loved Palmer - his character was amazing! Malia too, she tugged at my heartstrings with her struggles and doubts. I was almost shouting rooting for them, Their witty mature banter and conversation is to die for - and it literally got me thinking of wanting to have such a conversation. That was my favourite part of the book. The book is so inspiring and is sure leave many readers swooning and dreaming. The flow of the book was almost perfection. There were a couple societal issues discussed as well along with some business tips and tricks which weren't missed by me. It is a highly recommended book from my side.

So It Goes was a quick read for me - hard to put down. Malia and Palmer are both strong and likable characters on their own, and I found myself rooting for them even though they have some conflicts. I liked the way they both grew and evolved throughout the story. Pretty good summer read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake publishing for the DRC.

A great love story between two opposites who come together to find love

Two people with little in common but business give pleasure a shot in a charming romance about fate and taking chances by New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst.

The truth? Lonely advertising rep Malia Evergreen is still waiting for a soul mate, marriage, and a family. The lie? Telling every busybody she knows that she’s met someone. Now it’s a matter of finding him. Malia needs a date for a wedding. In a pinch she strikes a bargain with her former client, CEO Palmer Matterson—an arrogant, defiantly single, alpha billionaire whose best quality is insincerity. The perfect fake date.

Palmer has wanted Malia from the first moment he saw her. A challenging, sexy career woman who knows what she wants. It’s just not him. Not yet, anyway. This is Palmer’s chance to win her heart.

As fate throws them together, Malia unravels the layers of the man she thought she knew and, against the odds, finds herself falling in love. Palmer’s falling too. If only they can convince each other what they share…a belief in a happy ever after.

This was a sweet romance with two incredibly strong main characters. Both opinionated, strong willed and accomplished Malia and Palmer make for the perfect power couple. They know what they want and they both are confident enough to go after it. In business. In their personal lives not as much. They are rooted in what they believe their own truths and needs and wants are, but in actuality they’re both scared. They’re scared of being vulnerable. They’re scared of compromise. Both the youngest in their respective families (and only ones still single) they are getting pressure from all sides to settle down. I loved both characters’ family units. Strong options but lots of love. Malia knows that she wants to one day be a mother and no antiquated concept of the hows and when’s for that is going to keep her from preparing for her future, regardless of what her family thinks. And Palmer has never felt the need to think about marriage and children. He never felt it was in the cards for him. Palmer has been the Bain of Malia’s existence for the last year. Pushy, arrogant and rude. Malia has been in Palmer’s fantasies on repeat for about as long and his way of showing it is the corporate version of pulling her pigtails. But when these two are thrown together it turns both of their thoughts, feelings, needs and passions on their head. Wonderful story.

Jennifer Probst brings us another story in the Twist of Fate series. Here we meet Malia who has been working on the advertising part of the company she runs with her friends. She is excited to move on to the charity arm of the company and revels in telling her most difficult and infuriating client Palmer that she will no longer be working with him. But Palmer has a problem with that. He wants to continue to be in her presence, so he decides to seek out charitable opportunities. Family obligations have both Malia and Palmer striking a deal to help each other out. But will working with each other allow Malia to keep Palmer at arm's length, or will this bring them closer together?

Jennifer Probst gives us Malia's story in this series. We get to visit her friends again. We get to see their friendship and love and support. We get to see people struggle and realize what could be. We see Malia struggle with what she wants out of life and how she set herself up to get there while life had other plans for her.

I ended up DNF'ing this one at 15%. To be fair, it was entirely my fault for missing a few key words in the description. The alpha male / alpha billionaire is not at all my type of big and I just can't handle it. When I realized it, I figured I'd just push through it, but I just couldn't do it.

Thank you netgalley and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I liked the faking dating in the 'time of a wedding' scenario. Malia & Palmer had a sizzling chemistry.

But for me the book lacked a bit depth. I really don't enjoy alpha billionaires especially the cocky ones.
Sadly this wasn't for me.

Always excited to start a Jennifer Probst book and especially in the summer! So It Goes is the perfect beach read that will keep you turning the page and engrossed in the story.
Thank you to netgalley for the arc in exchange of an honest review.

I really wanted to like this, but the so-called chemistry amongst the animosity was just not there to me. I felt like Palmer was constantly pushing his way in and Malia didn’t honestly want him. That made it a real struggle to enjoy the story because it felt so false and forced.

Malia + Palmer

Malia wants to find her happily ever after - but it's not looking good. That's why she's about to start the process of having a baby on her own.
Enter Palmer. He's been a thorn in her side for a year now. But she's also kinda attracted to him. And he says he wants her... bad.
Can she trust him?
Let's try fake-dating going to a wedding or two first!

WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH MALIA + PALMER?
WILL THERE BE A HEA??
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT ☺

══════════════════

Welll... I'm not so sure what to say.
Just like book one, this didn't grab me the way Jennifer's books usually do.
I don't know what it was. Again it felt a bit old-ish. Like it was written in 1991. And it was a bit too... no idea. I wanted to stop reading several times in the first 25%. First of all Malia got on my nerves so badly. Her constant anti-Palmer talk. She was just horrible. I wanted to throw her out the window! And Palmer is not much better. We kinda love him - the hot billionaire type - but he's way too pushy in his pursuit of her. She says no once, okay, try it again. But after 3048 nos, walk away dude! And then he prays before dinner! Religion is a hard limit for me in books - I just hate it.
I don't know why this series seems so different to Jen's other books.
I kept on reading and it was cute and sparky and fun - but this will not be my favorite series.
But I will still read the 3rd book! Ford & Tessa!
The most interesting scenes are the ones with the girls' adopted dad Mike and teacher Emma! And I liked that we get to meet people from five of Jen's books for a second. (She did that to celebrate her 50th book release!)

► SO IT GOES was another cute and sparky romance in this new series! READ IT!

I really like the first book in this series, "The Wedding Bargain" but this didn't hit all cylinders for me. Both Malia and Palmer fell flat and their relationship didn't quite measure up. I was really annoyed by both of them at turns and the plot felt forced at times. Overall, it was okay but definitely not on of Jennifer Probst's better ones. I am still interested in the next series though so I am crossing my fingers for that one!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A decent rom com that I think would have actually been better as movie. But still good.. worth reading at least once.

Friendship and love in this story of women who find it. A fantastic read! Love books about strong women. This book didn't disappoint!
