Come join me... "I loved you yesterday. I'll love you today and I'll love you tomorrow, princess." Drake Princeton "I'll give you anything, sweetheart, just to have one lifetime with you." Trent Shaw "Forever. That's how long I'll love you, baby boy, even if you can't." Lorenzo Rossi "I love you, angel, always have and always will, wherever I am." Zayne Morrone "Loving you is easy, forgetting you is fucking impossible, old man." Rayden Princeton "I have only one heart to give, and it has always been yours, bella." Vincenzo Salvatore
I'm not a cliched romance writer. I write plot-driven, mindfuck stories. I'm not afraid to push boundaries (check Intoxication, Infallible and Duality) I write steam like I shower - scalding.
This was the most perfect ending and has made me fall in love with every single character all over again, even the FMC's!
This series is one of the best I have ever read! I didn't think Charlene could top anything she has done but then she brings this book out. This is a full length Epilogue/book with all our men and women from the Serendipity series and let me tell you it is PHENOMENAL!
Daddy Drake stepped the hell up in this book (if that's even possible!) The mouth on him was out of this world and the love he has for Sia made me want to cry happy tears 🥺❤️.
Ahh reading about Rayden and Lorenzo had my heart skipping a beat. They're literally so fucking perfect for each other. They both bounce of each other and wind one another up but their love is so pure. I'll never forget about those two❤️. The way Lorenzo calls him baby boy. Stop right now.🥺❤️❤️.
The HOTTEST scene you will ever read is in this book. I'm not going to say too much or give it away but oh my word. It is something else and I never see it coming but it was pure perfection!! What a guy Trent is, he is the absolute best and will do anything and everything to make Ash happy. I'm so happy she got her HEA. She needed and deserved it. Zayne, Vincenzo and Ria are just the perfect trio. You will not find a better Trio. I love them so much!
The ending was the best! I could not think of a better ending, I was crying happy tears but also sad tears because I will miss them, I feel like they're real people who have now left me😭 lol. If you haven't read this series it's the best, honestly, you need to read it!!.
The sex scene between Drake and Sia was SO FUCKING hot. I just wanted an entire book of them, ONLY. Of their ups and downs, of their fights and make-up sex. They are so amazing together, I love their chemistry. I don't really care for any of the other characters, so none of the other scenes interested me at all.
For the scenes of Drake and Sia together, I'd give this a five star rating, but because there were so many parts in this I didn't care for at all, I won't give it that.
Inevitable by Charlene Namdhari This was a surprise epilogue and one that will leave you panting. Ms Namdhari knows how to heat up a room with her off-the-charts chemistry between her characters. Drake, for me personally, takes centre stage and I think he will always be my favourite, yet I was happy to see all of the characters from the serendipity series come together. There were some unexpected changes to a few love triangles, so be warned. But to be honest, I should have expected the unexpected from this talented author. Her writing draws you in with her expressive words and you sense the emotions that all her characters feel. Her unique, but subtle way of setting each scene is perfect. Overall, an ideal way to say goodbye to our favourite group, but we are left with a few secondary characters that are sure to have their own story one day. Overall, this one was a hot epilogue, with lots of steamy moments. You have been warned.
"Never let your eyes meet the devil if you can't hide your desire to sin, Ashrika."
I'm still reeling from the perfection that is Inevitable by Charlene Namdhari. This epic conclusion to the Serendipity series has left me breathless and utterly in love with every single character - yes, even the fierce and fabulous females! Namdhari has outdone herself, bringing together the entire cast of characters from the series in a phenomenal full-length epilogue that will leave you weak in the knees. From Daddy Drake's dirty talk to Rayden and Lorenzo's heart-skipping romance, every moment is pure gold. And let's not forget the hottest scene you'll ever read - I'm still blushing just thinking about it! But what truly makes this book shine is the way Namdhari weaves together the stories of these beloved characters, giving each one their own happily ever after. Trent and Ashrika's love story will melt your heart, while Zayne, Vincenzo, and Gianna's trio will make you believe in the power of true love. The ending is nothing short of perfection - I cried happy tears and sad tears, knowing I'll miss these characters like they're real people. If you haven't devoured this series yet, what are you even doing with your life? Trust me, you need to read it. It's a journey to serendipity, where your heart will find something it wasn't looking for - pure, unadulterated love.
Fantastic Epilogue to Charlene’s Serendipity series with all our favourite characters from the previous 4 books brought together within this masterpiece that you will be unable to put down. Any who haven’t yet read the other 4 books in the series are missing out on some seriously hot fiction that has strong male and female characters whose stories are artfully interwoven throughout the 4 books leading to this wonderful epilogue.
Perfect ending to my favorite series! I was overwhelmed as I read the book! It was the best treat for my eyes and emotions to read this final installment. I am in love with this series all over again. Charlene, you are just an amazing author and you never disappoint. I can't wait to read Kyra's book. Please write it soon🖤
3,5 ster. Best n leuke aanvulling op de serie maar was niet echt nodig voor het verhaal compleet te maken. Wil je veel sex? Lees het dan vooral wél ;) wel erg leuk dat Drake er zoveel in voorkwam. Blijft toch mijn favoriet ❤️
Oh My! The Serendipity series is in my Top 5 best series read ever so to have this quality epilogue is a treat beyond all treats. Calling it an “epilogue” does not do it justice as it’s a series of short POV stories that delves into the lives of all the characters we have loved (and hated too a bit - took me a little while to warm up to Vincenzo - hot as all hell, but one complex character…but well and truly on board now 😳🥵) I re-read all 4 stories so as to lead into the 5th, and recommend others do the same. Zayne is my favourite and my heart broke again for him, but really happy with how his story evolved. This is just the best epilogue of all time - thanks again to Charlene - she writes on the edge and I absolutely love what she does. Her dialogue is intelligent and the stories are complex, intense, hot, beautiful, sad, funny, suspenseful, gasp out loud and unpredictable- everything you can possibly want in a story. Absolutely recommend this epilogue - but you must have read the series first - Enjoy 😉
AS FAR AS EPILOGUES GO, IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS! I WISH I COULD GIVE INEVITABLE INFINITE "I DIDN'T WANT THE SERIES TO EVER END" STARS! BUT I'LL HAVE TO SETTLE FOR FIVE! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
From the tips of my page turning fingers all the way to my ten curling toes my inner romance goddess was thanking the good Lord above, and chanting from the hilltops, "thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU" to the author. This book was EVERYTHING & SO MUCH MORE! One of my favorite reads this year! What a perfect way to end a perfect series.
Inevitable, The Serendipity Epilogue, book 5 in the Serendipity series by Charlene Namdhari was so much fun. I'll say it again. SO MUCH FUN! Plus you'll find all the SWOONYLICIOUS alpha men we fell in love with, all the BEAUTIFUL, LOVING, SASSY & BADASS women we wished we were, hilarious relatives, plenty of belt out loud laughing moments, old friends, new friends, lost loves, huge heaping of lovable children, renewed love, new surprises, tears, many more blessings. And last but by no means least the author delivers A WHOLE HELLUVA LOT OF SIZZLING HOT, TABLET MELTING, OVER THE TOP AND AT TIMES, JAW DROPPING SEXYTIME that just might give you heat stroke!
In love and romance, there is no black and white. Love isn't easy. You have to work at it, appreciate it for what it is, and at times, make the necessary compromises and sacrifices to make it work. Those are the things that make love and romance so beautiful. What you're willing to do for that love. You'll find that in abundance within the pages of this book.
I love a book that makes me think outside my comfort zone. There is a part in this book that pushed my boundaries and in the process had me rethinking what my hard limits were.
From the very first book in the series, Intoxication, all the way to the end of Inevitable, the Serendipity series taught me that it is best to "wait and see" before casting my reader vote or making a judgement on something that may have pushed my boundary limits. If I've learned one thing it's let the story lead you to the very last page, stop and think about what has transpired and why. Then you can decide if you can accept the very thing that left you teetering on what's acceptable to you. I did just that and I found that the circumstances that took place fit the story and the characters and therefore I accepted what took place because that's what needed to happen. It's as simple as that.
Inevitable is a delicious mixed bag of naughtiness and gives the reader sweet tasty morsels of each couple again. Each and every single person in the series had a starring role in this epilogue. Inevitable is filled with all things naughty and nice. It's the perfect little package of fantasies I would gladly fall to my knees for in my dreams.
Drake, Rayden, Trent, Zayne, Lorenzo, and Vincenzo. Each and every one of these men are alpha to their very core, fiercely loyal and protective of their families, and love so ferociously in the best ways. There is nothing they wouldn't do to show that love. Even if it meant stepping out of their own comfort zone to prove it.
Sianna, Ashrika Gianna. What I loved about these women was they are unique in their own ways, yet at the same time have so much in common. They were made to be in each other's lives.
When I think of Sianna/Sia I think of love. For me, she was the epitome of what real love is, what true love is all about. I simply loved and adored her. It's no wonder Drake fell in love with her and cherishes her so deeply.
Gianna/Ria is so cool. She's a tough as nails badass. I admired her. Her bravado, her in your face, no holds barred persona energized me. She is not to be messed with. She's a mafia queen after all. But she's so much more than that. I fell in love with her a little more each time she gave us snippets of her softer side.
Ashrika/Rika managed to wrap herself around my heart all over again in this book. She's so innocent, kind and pure in her heart. I was enamored with her character. You just can't help loving her.
Although I loved each character/couple in this series the same, I loved them each for different reasons. There are too many reasons to list here. You have to experience them for yourselves to appreciate all they had to offer to this series.
I was thinking by the end that I thought Tamara was such a force. She was a rock solid protective, loving woman and not afraid to say what's on her mind. Most times she is absolutely hilarious in this book. I loved her so much. Even though she didn't have a romantic partner, she is an intricate part of this very unique family.
Wouldn't it be great if she had her own story? Just as Remo and Dario and Kyra should? Yes, I think it would (wink wink to the author). Their stories, I have no doubt, would be the red hot icing melting down on the proverbial lava cake that would most definitely leave you drooling.
Speaking of drooling. There is a lot of sex in this story. It actually drives the story. If a ton of SEXYTIME bothers you, you may be barking up the wrong romance.
Some favorite moments hints: Swoony Drake A boy, a woman and a shiny bracelet. A feisty unfiltered Auntie. Hilarious tug of war. When everyone let loose. An epic and so satisfying ending.
The MEGA TALENTED AUTHOR managed to put all the characters from the series in one beautiful setting and made it so much fun, so bloody enjoyable. It got better and better and better as I read on. I honestly couldn't get enough.
What made it even more special was the moment I realized Ms. Namdhari also took me, the reader, right along with each and every one of the characters from the beginning all the way to ONE OF THE VERY BEST 5-STAR ENDINGS! An ending that left me with the biggest smile on my very satisfied face!
Each character falling into such deep love and devotion was written so beautifully and captivated me and yes, at times challenged me. Every single thing that happened in this book, this incredible series was INEVITABLE! That's Serendipity Baby!
As far as epilogues go, it doesn't get any better than this! What I wish I could do is rate Inevitable with INFINITE "I DIDN'T WANT THE SERIES TO EVER END" STARS! But for the sake of this review I'll have to settle for five! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I listened to the box set audio books, so here is my series review.
What a ride this was.
I listened to the audio book collection of this series, and I think it was worth it to hear these stories come to life. This series deserves 5 stars and beyond that.
This isn’t a simple, easy, heartfelt romance.. this is a roller coaster of emotions that will squeeze your heart & rip it out of your chest at the most unexpected moment. Make you flush, and sometimes, I really felt like I was intruding. LOL. It will see your heart back together after breaking it into thousands of pieces. And then it’ll break you just one more time to see how truly Infallible you are;). While, honestly the whole series, is a 5 star read for me, I did need a breather. This is a lot of story and lore and character plot/storyline to get into. It’s a haul. But it’s worth it.
Intoxication-Drake & Sianna: Oh. How I loved these two that brought me into this story. Sianna is so elegant and sweet and just an all around stand up woman. She deserves the world, and Drake sees that from the second he lays eyes on her. Drake. A MAN of men. As his literal own son says “Men want to be you, and women want to fuck you. As for me, I just want you to be proud of me” and I’ll cry because this family is everything and more. Drake is the King of this story ultimately in my eyes. He is the legacy of Princeton Inc. and it truly shows in the way this man leads his family through every twist and turn that comes their way. Their love story is just beautiful and I loved everything about it.
Incognito-Trent & Ashrika: These two stole my heart unexpectedly. I was definitely not rooting for them in the beginning. Zayne(Gabriel) girly all the way. But as the story developed, the more I realized Zayne(Gabriel) was too broken to truly give Ashrika the love and support she ultimately needed to survive at that point in her life. Bringing Trent’s mourning children into this story really just stabbed me in the heart over and over again. And I couldn’t imagine being Trent, having lost the love of your life, a piece of yourself, and have two more pieces of yourself that you alone have to console and heal and care for. This book, although it was not my favorite in the series, will always bring me to tears with the loss, love, and just downright insanity the Serendipity world holds.
Infallible-Lorenzo & Rayden: NOW TALK ABOUT A PLOT TWIST BABY! Look, everyone reads what they like personally and if someone doesn’t like something, I believe that’s okay. I am personally not a MM fan. This book took me by complete surprise. I was NOT expecting that at all. Zena annoyed me the whole book, she was a selfish brat and I really didn’t want either of them to end up with her. So imagine my freaking surprise when THAT happened. I loved this book. Lorenzo & Rayden have an absolutely (while totally messed up at the same time given the whole kidnapping situation) beautiful and touching love story that is truly Indestructible;). A strong man, weakened by the likes of a teenage boy with a smart mouth and cocky attitude that likes pizza. 10/10. Definitely second favorite book in this series. Second favorite book.
Indestructible-Zayne(Gabriel)/Vincienzo & Gianna: THESE. THREE. Honestly, at times this book made me very uncomfortable because of the stipulation and moral greyness behind the acts of certain characters. This book made my heart bleed though. I couldn’t tell you how many times I said out loud “I am going to burst into tears”. What a wild, scary ride this book was. But Gianna survived it all and came out on the other side, not only a badass, but a loving mother of two fabulous boys. Also, I totally knew Maddox was hers and Zayne’s from the moment we met him. It was Inevitable;). This book I feel went off the rails there for a while, but ultimately the story drew itself back together and connected the missing dots. And what a truly beautiful story these three and their children have.
Inevitable: What a truly perfect conclusion to this heart and gut wrenching series. To see all of these wonderful people we fell in love with, come together and just enjoy life?? Why doesn’t every series have an epilogue like this? Seriously this was a necessity to my sanity. I needed to know that all of these characters officially got their happily ever after. And boy, did they. Was not expecting the Incognito scene, at all. But I do believe it truly completed the love story the 5 of them had together. And Gianna and Ashrika?? Didn’t see that coming but I’m here for it. They are perfect to put it simply. They all needed that from each other after the pain each had endured in their lives. Drake and Sianna were perfect as always, Drake Princeton, thank you for this family. And Lorenzo & Rayden🫶 what a perfectly sweet ending to a slightly salty love story, and? NO. ZENA. IN. SIGHT. Thank you, Charlene. This book was the perfect end to these characters stories. I wouldn’t have traded the end for anything. What a series to know and have read/listened to. It was truly an honor.

“Never let your eyes meet the devil if you can’t hide your desire to sin, Ashrika.”
Inevitable is the series HEA reward that makes the emotional turmoil of the Serendipity series well worth it. It’s the cherry on top of an already perfect audiobook series sundae. Inevitable is a smoking HOT, smooth, spicy AF fantasy fulfillment nightcap. Intoxication was my first book by Charlene Namdhari and I was hooked on the Serendipity series from chapter one. Inevitable is a delightful holiday, destination romance with cameos and story follow-ups with every favorite character you fell for throughout the series. The way Charlene wove the storylines from each book together was brilliant. I loved how she brought everyone in the series together for one last hurrah. Simply put, Inevitable was lovely; my heart is full and I can’t stop smiling. This may have been my first series by Charlene Namdhari, but it certainly won’t be my last. She is a phenomenal storyteller who will fill your heart and leave you wanting more in the best way.
The star-studded cast of voice actors was phenomenal! Each performance was dynamic and flawless. The continuity of characterization from one narrator to another was utterly remarkable! Yami Habibi and Aiden Snow were swoon-worthy as Sia and Drake. Aiden Snow as Daddy Drake oozed charisma; the dirty-mouthed billionaire was scorching hot in the sheets and a true prince in the streets. I loved their playful and heartfelt rapport. JF freaking Harden continued his role as Zayne perfectly as the gruff, commanding assassin. Holy hell, JF’s whiskey smooth voice and southern drawl will leave you slack-jawed and possibly whispering “yes, sir”. Connor Hayes’ angst-fueled, yet affable, passionate performance as Rayden was superb. J. Tipstone was phenomenal as Lorenzo in Infallible and his narration of Inevitable equally squeezed my heart. His love for Rayden was everything; I’m still lovesick over Infallible. Trent and Ashrika’s love story was fascinating in Incognito. Joe Arden and Ava Lucas continued to impress in their performances of Trent and Rika, two complex, open-minded, supportive, lovely characters. Antonio Amato and Raven Rose as Vincenzo and Gianna were chef’s kiss perfection. I want to be best friends with Gianna and I’ll just be over here in puddle of goo form over Vincenzo’s brand of love. Serendipity nudged them toward their HEAs and now they have forever. The Inevitable audiobook was charming, captivating, and so hot my airpods blushed!
Who knew what coming back to the Serendipity world would do, it was such a roller coaster, after Indestructible we could rest knowing that these characters got there happily every after, but no Charlene had to shock us with a surprise epilogue, and surprise she did.
You can’t but help fall in love again with Drake and Sianna, Trent, Zayne and Ashrika, Rayden and Lorenzo, Zayne, Vincenzo and Gianna, to follow them again, a year later, to see how there relationships have evolved, how they are still more in love than ever, is true strength, that what the heart wants is undeniable, yet inevitable.
These characters will impact you and make you fall in love with them all over again. There are moments that will make you laugh and cry but have you thinking what the, but its these pivotal moments that expose the perplexing tangle of hurt, anger and denial, powerful in themselves, the secrets, lies, deception, manipulation, pain, motives, and truths which becomes all the clearer with those deep revelations.
This story is told from multiple POV, I was hooked from the very first chapter right up until the last, it told a telling story of heartbreak, love, and loss, of their past connecting with their present. The author knows how to write, to ensnare her readers to ensure they will come back for more, me I will come back for more.
It holds so much drama, action, mystery, adrenaline seeking suspense, slow burning passion/ romance betrayal, intrigue, murder, vengeance, acceptance, friendship, family, lust, loyalty, trust. It will hook you, have you turning the pages to find out more, reading this story, it enables the readers to really connect with the characters, and as the story unfolds the readers see the development and growth from the characters singularly and together.
And those MF, MFM, FF, MM, FFMMM s*x scenes were steamy, yet sensual, dirty, forbidden, taboo, intense, physical, provocative, it had all the angry angst, hate, pleasure and passion one would except, when these characters and there kinks aim to give both pleasure and pain, there possessive and obsessive need for control and dominance, it was off the charts and had all of the feels.
Cannot believe that this is the end of there story, but all good stories must come to and end, they got there happily ever after, there future bittersweet and oh so perfect, and one very well deserved for them all.
Inevitable Serendipity, Book 5 By: Charlene Namdhari Narrated by: Joe Arden, JF Harding, Aiden Snow, J. Tipstone, Connor Hayes, Yami Habibi, Simone Lewis, Raven Rose, Ava Lucas, Antonio Amato
And this is Serendipity! I have been loving this series, the writing, plot and world building have been phenomenal. The twists and turns are amazing and so are all the characters and storylines. Definitely one of my favorite series of 2023 and best audiobook listens. It left me with a huge book hangover when it was over and Charlene Namdhari delivers the perfect cure for that hangover penning the mother of epilogues. And this is not an ordinary epilogue or simple followup, it is so much more. She has woven a complex web and masterfully brings it all together in this book, some serendipitously, courtesy of fate or intervention. The story had me mesmerized from start to end, and I loved how it all played out. I highly recommend this series, also recommend avoiding spoilers and going in knowing as little as possible, embrace the twists and turns, the element of surprise and enjoy the ride and the journey. This is book will have you swooning and it may be the steamiest of the bunch. Charlene Namdhari, thank you for this exceptional series and it was great to see these characters again. I hope more comes out of this incredible world you created.
🎧📚🎧 And for the exceptional narration and lineup of talent, Joe Arden, JF Harding, Aiden Snow, J. Tipstone, Connor Hayes, Yami Habibi, Simone Lewis, Raven Rose, Ava Lucas, and Antonio Amato, step into their roles they performed in the earlier books and continue to do an incredible job portraying their characters. I loved how they took their roles and made them their own, sounding believable and just how I imagined the characters would sound. They continue to set the perfect tone for the story, capture all the characters’ emotions and have you feeling every single one. The audio quality is top-notch, and the performances are outstanding. The cast couldn't have been better for these characters and their story. Thank you for another amazing listen.
Book 5 of the series and features characters from all the stories. You need to have read all of them to get the full impact.
I am not ready to say goodbye to these characters or this world. I'm going to want additional shorts a year, 3, 5 down the road. They will stick with me for years to come and I'm going to wish I could peek in and be a voyeur watching their lives unfold. The HEA is just the beginning sometimes right?
This story was a wonderful way to wrap up the series (not that I want to let it go, see above). Threads of things that I didn't even realize felt unfinished at the time, were worked through in delicious ways. And a couple of things that I had thought in passing about the greater world, the side characters, came to the front and got their own little mini moments that made me sigh in contentment.
The audiobook was performed by all the various narrators reprising their roles (and a couple took on an extra one at the very very end). They each had moments and got to play with a range of emotions from living life to spending time with their loved one(s). And in the end, when all the words of devotion were being shared (you'll know what I mean when you get there) every single one of the performances made me tear up and feel the love they shared. It was an amazing journey from start to finish and I'm so happy to say that I would listen to more from any of these narrators (in order of the cover): Joe Arden, J.F. Harding, Aiden Snow, Connor Hayes, J. Tipstone, Antonio Amato, Yami Habibi, Ava Lucas and Raven Rose.
As always, check your trigger warnings. This one wasn't as dark or complicated as the previous ones, but there are still things that might upset you if you're not ready. But also, if you're like me, you might be ready to do a happy dance when some of them happen (MFMFM anyone?).
I requested and received an advanced copy of the audiobook. These are my honest opinions.
"Inevitable," the fifth installment in Charlene Namdhari's Serendipity series, is a satisfying HEA reward for fans who've navigated the emotional rollercoaster of the series. This smoking HOT audiobook serves as a delightful holiday romance, skillfully weaving together the storylines from previous books. Namdhari's brilliance is evident in bringing all the beloved characters together for a memorable conclusion.
The spicy encounters in various pairings—MF, MM, MFF, MFM, MFMFM—add an extra layer of excitement. The epilogue beautifully ties up loose ends, providing closure while leaving room for fond memories. However, some might find the level of Happily Ever After a tad overwhelming after the series' intense adventures and dramas. I found the ending a bit too perfect, with every loose end neatly tied up, which somewhat took away from the gritty realism the series has maintained so far. I also felt that the character of Zayne deserved a more fitting resolution, but overall, Namdhari's storytelling prowess shines through. As a first-time reader of her work, I'm now a devoted fan.
What sets this audiobook apart, however, is the stellar cast of narrators. Their performances are simply outstanding. Joe Arden, JF Harding, Aiden Snow, J. Tipstone, Connor Hayes, Yami Habibi, Simone Lewis, Raven Rose, Ava Lucas, and Antonio Amato each bring their respective characters to life with a depth and nuance that is genuinely captivating. Their delivery is flawless, and they convey the emotional nuances of their personalities with remarkable authenticity. The audio quality is excellent, with clear sound and perfect pacing that enhances the listening experience.
In conclusion, Inevitable Serendipity, Book 5 is a must-listen for any series fan. While it has its minor flaws, they do not detract from the overall enjoyment of the book. Namdhari's writing is top-notch, and the narration is phenomenal. I eagerly anticipate more from this talented author and the extraordinary team of narrators—four out of five stars for this unforgettable audiobook.
I received an advance listener copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily.
The best surprise release ever…. Whilst in the middle of another current read i could not stop thinking about this book that was sat waiting for me, i mean the Serendipity Series blew me away and i loved every single one of the Men. I was so excited in all honesty i caved, i put down my CR not been able to wait any longer knowing what awaits me.
As a surprise release no one knew what this book was, i seen it said Epilogue but what a delight and surprise it was to find it includes every one of Charlene’s sizzling hot alphas from the series, and an epilogue ? quite the understatement.
Bring on the Heat….
It is simply impossible to read without getting aroused…. That’s the kind of spice i’m talking… and something i’ve come to expect no less of from Charlene. She knows exactly how to raise the bar when it comes to steam, erotic, sensual scenes but done flawlessly and this epilogue is the icing on the cake for this series ….
Rayden and Lorenzo - next level intensity , chemistry connection - the only time i will read MM because i was blindsided but these two are something else … The mafia don brought to his knees by another man, but only the one and the deep rooted love he had for him and how his heart belongs to no one else is heart melting …
Drake … oh Mr Princeton… This man is beyond sexy, he is the alpha of alphas, older man, intense charming loves so deep it roots, a family man.
Trent and Zayne …. i will never forget reading that scene in incognito and i was blown away and filled with joy and excitement when he returns to Ashrikas life !
overall … just simply WOW. Charlene brings them all together for this unique prologue with one of the hottest scenes i have ever read…
I’m ready for Kyra … Please. Soon ? When ? Like now ?
This is a full length epilogue of the entire Serendipity Series & it touches on each couple as we’ve navigated through this expansive world of love, loss, & happiness.
Daddy Drake & Sia showed us why they came first. They are such an integral part of this whole series & their happiness, though it might’ve caused pain at some point, helped to pave the way to happiness for many others. And together…these two know how to make you sweat.
Trent & Ashrika, they were destiny. Trent proves, again, his intense need & desire to make absolutely certain that Ashrika is happy & fulfilled…in every way. When she chose him, she chose a life that wasn’t hers & owned it 1000%.
Lorenzo & Rayden showed us all why true love is always worth the sacrifice, & that it can come in the most unanticipated ways.
Vincenzo, Ria, & Zayne may be an unconventional trio, but man…do they know how to set fire to the pages.
Collectively, this group makes for one hot & steamy holiday getaway. One of the most descriptive & hottest scenes I’ve listened to took place, & I can say…you won’t be disappointed. The way that Charlene put into words the intense chemistry between all of the characters baffles me. I could feel the heat coming through the words spoken in the audio recording. This might be one I have to revisit time & again, just to get a feel of this amazing group of characters.
Audiobook Review: With a full on cast including Joe Arden, JF Harding, Aiden Snow, Connor Hayes, J Tipstone, Antonio Amato, Yani Habibl, Ava Lucas, & Raven Rose, this audiobook was a treat to my earbuds. The dynamics between all of the characters was spot on & I just loved the way they all fed off of each other.
Inevitable Serendipity, Book 5 By: Charlene Namdhari Narrated by: Joe Arden, JF Harding, Aiden Snow, J. Tipstone, Connor Hayes, Yami Habibi, Simone Lewis, Raven Rose, Ava Lucas, Antonio Amato
Was I ready for this series to end? NO! But Charlene Namdhari weaves it all together with a fabulous epilogue to this series. Did I have a favorite book? NO! Each one, meticulously written, with such emotional angst and suspense, I was on edge, waiting for the shoe to drop in each one and so happy when the happily ever after came. But now, Namdhari has pulled all of these characters together for a final hurrah. Each related to the other in some way, they are meeting for a Christmas Eve party thrown by none other than Drake Princeton. And he is full of surprises. This is a wonderful culmination of unusual circumstances, unbreakable love, and incredible people. I could not stop listening, teared up with the final chapters and now am unable to stop thinking about them. The best series hangover! Love, love, love this series and highly recommend it for my dark romance lover friends!
And the cast comes together, each reprising their characters with witty banter, spicy passion and love for one another. Joe Arden, JF Harding, Aiden Snow, J. Tipstone, Connor Hayes, Yami Habibi, Simone Lewis, Raven Rose, Ava Lucas and Antonio Amato give all the feels in this one as they each find the happily ever after they sought. It's a pleasure to listen to!
You know how when you get to the end of an epilogue and it isn’t enough? And you know when the author does an extended epilogue and it still isn’t enough? And you know when the author writes an entire book that is an epic epilogue and it still isn’t enough? Cause that’s where I am. I will never get enough of these characters. I want more of all of them, but what I really want is for Kyra and Tamara to each get their own book. PLEASE! I hope @charlen decides to do additional audio books. I looked at what she has coming out soon and it all looks amazing.
Summary: All the narrators come back to voice their characters which is great. It really helped keep track of who’s POV I was listening to at the time. This book helps tie up some of the loose ends from the previous series, but more loose ends keep popping up that I need answers to, like yesterday.
This book is less dark than books 3 and 4, but there are still some elements that you may want to check CWs and TWs for, but if you’ve been ok through the whole series then you should be fine to proceed.
Favorite Quote: Kill me, hurt me, kiss me, or suck me, I don’t care, but whatever you do, I’m going to f*ck you every chance I get, until you remember you’re mine, until you remember Ria, and my love for her, because I love you. Always have, and always will.
I loved how all the characters came together for this extended epilogue and it was great to hear reprisals from all of the original narrators. We have seen some crossover in previous instalments but this is the first time everyone has been in the same story so the narrators are playing some characters they haven't before.
There is a lot of spice in this as everyone gets a final farewell before meeting together for Drake Princeton's Christmas party. After all the angst in the series, I was waiting for some kind of evil twist but it is a very sweet ending (which some of the characters definitely deserve if you've read the whole series!). I enjoyed this although there was one element which I didn't quite gel with but I appreciate it as a bold move I would never have expected of some of the alpha male characters!
More over, I love how there have been some seeds sewn for future stories; I really want to know Kyra's secret which is hinted at and who came out on top with Tamara and Remo and whether we will meet Drake's brother properly. And I will always love a Ravash cameo!
My interpretation of the star system; 3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again 4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series 5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely and I have added all the authors works to my TBR
Inevitable is book five in Charlene Namdhari’s phenomenal Serendipity series. If you’ve listened to the first four audiobooks in the series (and if not, you’re really missing out), then this is the epilogue you’ve been waiting for. This audiobook wraps up everyone’s stories in the best ways possible. Some of the resolutions are entirely unanticipated—I wouldn’t expect anything less from Charlene Namdhari—but no less perfect. All the characters we’ve fallen in love with are present in this epilogue, and they’ve all become family to each other in one way or another. This entire audiobook series was one of the most compelling I’ve listened to in a very long time, and this was the perfect end to the series. I was seriously smiling so hard when the story ended.
The narration for this audiobook is beyond stellar, with all of the talented voices from the previous audiobooks making an appearance. Blue Nose Audio seriously hit it out of the park with this cast! The raw, honest emotion these voice artists deliver is both engaging and enthralling. Their impassioned performances had me completely engrossed in the story, and I truly did not want it to end. I honestly could not recommend this audiobook and the entire series any higher!
Please read with caution …spare knickers required! 🥵😂 Wowser…this book is a damn hot, Alpha overload read.
I loved catching up with all the characters from the series. Drake will always be my favourite, as he was the first in the series and left a lasting impression. It’s read as an epilogue for all the characters from the four books that is the Serendipity series, so you will need to read those to understand and enjoy this book.
I did struggle a little with the change in dynamics of certain relationships. I was happy with how things were left for these characters in their own books from the series, I didn’t think it needed it, and for me, pushed it just a little too far. And dare I say it, and I can’t believe I’m saying it lol …I think there was just a little too much sex in this book. Don’t get me wrong, no one writes a steamy, filthy sex scene like Charlene Namdhari. They incinerate your knickers lol 😆 But there’s only so much sex one book needs.
Once again this Author nailed another amazing book in this series, by far one of the best series I’ve ever read. I’m certainly looking forward to more!
Book Review Book: Inevitable: The Epilogue Author: Charlene Namdhari Narrators: Joe Arden, J.F. Harding, Aiden Snow, Connor Hayes, J. Tipstone, Antonio Amato, Yami Habibi, Ava Lucas, and Raven Rose Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
I had fun listening to the previous 4 books in this series. This series was the first books I’ve ever listened to from Charlene Nandhari and I wasn’t sure what I was getting into, but I’m so glad I got a chance to experience the Serendipity Series for the first time.
First thing I’ll say is that this book is HOT! Like smoking hot! Which isn’t surprising if you’ve read/listened to the previous books. The hottest scenes I’ve ever read were in this book. So hot I couldn’t listen in my car because I was nervous I was going to wreck my car!
This book was the perfect ending to this series and I honestly loved how the story ended for each character. So many troupes, so little time.
All the narrators shined in this story. Joe Arden, J.F. Harding, Aiden Snow, Connor Hayes, J. Tipstone, Antonio Amato, Yami Habibi, Ava Lucas, and Raven Rose were incredible during this performance and all the previous performances. Like top notch casting!!!
Thank you @bluenosesudio for all the codes of the previous books and for this advanced copy! I appreciate you!
MUST READ INTOXICATION, INCOGNITO, INFALLIBLE, and INDESTRUCTIBLE before proceeding with INEVITABLE or this review.
This was a whole ass novel that was just good things after good things after good things for the characters from all 4 novels in the series. It was great to see them all again after their initial books, see what they’re up to and how their unique love lives are all playing out.
I loved all the smut we get. It’s just scene after scene of well written, thigh clenching smut. And the characters are all so unapologetic about it. I’m obsessed with how open and crass all the characters are with each other. No one hides their sexual desires and interests. And they all crack jokes about it nonstop once they’re all together for Christmas.
I loved that Drake and Sia final play up the age gap and she jokingly calls him “daddy” but he ends up getting turned on by it.
There were SEVERAL scenes that I absolutely loved! I can’t name them all without spoiling the book.
Great banter, great chemistry, great dynamics. And Drake telling two mafia dons they’re coming to Christmas, not asking but telling, was the best!
The audiobook was great! I still wish it would have been recorded like a full cast production instead of “dual” style narration. But all the narrators were fantastic!
Would it matter that I tried to make this book last a little longer? Nah, this was pretty much a nod to all the couples we met in the other serendipity books so don’t read this until after you have read books 1-4.
I loved all the characters together, there were a lot of moments that were just filled with emotions and it came across very well.
I’m even more into Daddy Drake now! Didn’t think it was possible with so many alphas in the room he still manages to stand all the way out! It was brilliant.
Few typos and logistics that stuck out for me- it didn’t take away from the story but I would have preferred it to not be there.
I’m defo looking forward to the spin off stories, I need to know if Remo survived Tamara, what Kyra’s secret is (although I could guess) and what’s in store for Kat.
As always I wholeheartedly recommend this, great read, great characters, spice on top form, drama, intrigue- it’s all there! Jump in😊
ALC Review: This epilogue is a must read and listen. I didn't realize how attached I had become to these characters until I started listening. The author never ceases to amaze me with her ability to make you think one thing about the characters and then BAM she throws in a plot twist that has you reeling. With a dynamic cast of wonderful narrators that includes Aiden Snow (I need more of Daddy Drake), Antonio Amato, Ava Lucas, Connor Hayes, J Tipstone (Lorenzo, need I say more), J.F Harding (Zayne my hero), Joe Arden, Raven Rose, and Yami Habibi, this is the book you need to listen to when you need to be all in your feelings. They are like the first sip of a good whiskey, they make you burn and feel every single emotion that their perspective characters do, and it is absolutely good for the soul. The spicy scenes is the book are pure fire and will make a person blush. I absolutely loved this whole series and hated to see it end.
The perfect ending to this intense and insanely addicting series!! I listened to the audiobooks through Blue Nose Audio and every single narrator was amazing and brought each character to life!
The spice in this book is also off the carts 🤬 when I saw MFMFM in the content warnings I was curious as to how that was gonna play out & Charlene knocked it out of the park! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
My favorite transformation has to be Gianna (Ria) it’s insane to think back to the beginning of her story, the young and naive girl grew into this bad@ss mafia queen who takes no shit from anyone.
Also, I don’t usually enjoy reading about kids, but I fell in love with all the kiddos in this one. Each a symbol of the love their parents had for each other.
If you love drama, suspense, SPICE, and love that has no bounds check out this series.
Inevitable is book #5 and the final work in the Serendipity series. This isn't your usual "recap" of stories and what they are doing in the future. No, Ms. Namdhari brought new suspense, intrigue, heartbreak, and SERIOUS heat in this one. Highlights include Zayne's relationship with Gianna and Ashrika, Lorenzo and Raydon's relationship, Trent and Ashrika's relationship, and the big ending with the Maldives trip that has everyone together (Kleenex will be needed). This is a must to finish off this series. LOVED IT!!
The collective narration is absolute perfection. Each narrator reprised their role from the previous books with seamless precision. With a "Who's Who" list of narrators, I know this will be in my re-listen list for a long time. I obviously can't get enough baby boy in my life..:)
