About FORTUNATE ENCOUNTERS
Sitting at the wrong table turned my life upside down.
I was supposed to be on a date with one man but made a huge mistake—a mistake I keep bumping into all over New York City.
Clark Chambers is arrogant, straightforward, devastatingly handsome, and takes what he wants. And right now his sight is set on me.
But he only wants friends with benefits. And I’d rather eat dirt than agree to that.
After an “enough is enough” moment, I turn to the Universe for help & ask for a special sign.
And it’s just my luck … looks like rabbits & romance really do mix!

REVIEW: FORTUNATE ENCOUNTERS (THE SIGNS) BY CATERINA PASSARELLI
Fortunate Encounters by Caterina Passarelli
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
There are no straight lines when it comes to love. It's the detours that keep things interesting. Passarelli dares to be interesting. With humor, heart and honest emotion Fortunate Encounters is that melt in your heart kind of treat. Juliette is a woman with the world at feet until she discovers fate has other plans. A chance encounter has lasting repercussions for two unknowing strangers. Clark and Juliette remind that there is more to life than the serious moments. Sometimes life calls for stirring things up.

EXCERPT
Throwing shade—this is new for me.
Wes smirks. He doesn’t seem the least bit insulted, which surprises me and irritates me at the same time.
Before I say another word, a man approaches our table as the color drains from my face. I’ve made a grave mistake.
“Wes?” I ask the man who just walked up.
“Juliette?” He laughs nervously, tucking his hands into his pockets. “Did you book two dates in one night?”
“Oh my gosh. No.” I am utterly embarrassed. Turning toward the man at my table, I ask, “Who are you?”
This gets a smile out of the stranger who has been watching me banter back and forth awkwardly with Wes.
“The name’s Clark.”
Looking from Clark to Wes, I can’t believe I made this mistake. My actual date is a watered down version of the man I’m sitting across from.
Getting up from the table, I turn toward Wes. “I apologize! Let’s start fresh.”
“Alrighty. Sounds like a plan,” Wes says in an easygoing way, pointing in the direction of the front doors. “I got us a table over there.”
“Sorry about all of this,” I say to Clark before following Wes to our new table. Clark doesn’t say anything; he just laughs and returns his gaze back to his newspaper, as if this incident didn’t happen.
During my rather boring conversation with Wes, I can’t help but wish I could see the expression on Clark’s face. His back is turned to me, but I keep glancing in his direction.
When Clark gets up to leave, he walks by our table and gives me a little nod. I secretly wish he’d break up this date I’m on.
Wes rambles for another forty minutes before I get the “emergency” text message from my friend, Whitney, telling me I’m needed for open-heart surgery. No, I’m not a doctor. Yes, I’ll gladly take the escape she’s fabricated.
Wes sees me to the door and plants a rather wet, sloppy kiss on my cheek. When I’m around the block, I wipe my face with my sleeve. The feeling of defeat washes over me.
I walk a few more blocks until I’m safely back at my apartment building in Manhattan. I shoot Whitney a text letting her know I wasn’t murdered. When online dating I always let my friends know where I am going and with who. Call me paranoid, but I’m not about to end up handcuffed in someone’s basement.
Next, I hit up the wine fridge for a much-needed glass of red.
As I cuddle up on the couch, I can’t help but question … who is Clark? And why do I want to talk to him again?
