Chances is the start of another good series, Mystic Nights,
by M. J. Nightingale. The first book in
the series focuses on the oldest brother in the Sassacus family, Jonathan.
Jonathan is the Vice-Chair of Mystic Nights Casino & Spa
a new casino of the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation. His primary focus is to make the casino
successful.
Aliya Chance is a dancer and choreographer at the
casino. She is focused on saving money
to start a dancing school. The casino
gives her a place to dance and concentrate on her school during off hours. She stays clear of Jonathan, for a time,
because she knows he isn’t interested in relationships. I love the Bounty Hunter series and Aliya was
a small but important character in that series.
It is fun to see her here.
I like the writing.
MJ does an excellent job of developing the story line and the characters. For
the most part the tale moves at a fast pace unfolds in a way that keeps the
reader focused and interested.
The characters are interesting and are developed in a way
that the readers feels the relationship between Jonathan and Aliya grow from a
fling to a full out love affair. Jonathan’s
family is introduced with just enough interest to make a reader want to know more
about them. It is going to be
interesting to read the other books in this series especially Tawny’s story, the
matriarch of the Sassacus family.
I like the ancillary characters. Aliya has good strong support group of friends
and family. They aren’t big features in the
story but they are very important to the story.
The Eastern Pequot council members are interesting and I’m hoping to
find out more about them in future books.
The ending is very satisfying with a little hint at future
events. I really like these characters
and can’t wait for more. I recommend
this book and I’m confident that this is going to be another fun family series
from M.J. Nightingale.
