Ava has watched her parents, Caleb and Maggie, live the perfect fairy tale,
the perfect love story, played out in front of her eyes her entire life. Her
family is love, life, and happiness. The Jacobsons are everything a family
should be and Ava is loved and well taken care of. But the one thing that’s
missing from her life is the one thing she’s waited for every day, the one
thing her kind knows will make them complete, the one thing they thought was
gone and lost forever.
Her significant.
Seth has lived with the Watsons his entire life. They’re the only family he
knows, but he knows that there are things they keep from him. He knows that
they lie and they do unspeakable evil, things from when he was a child that he
can barely remember that cling to the edges of his memory. He barely remembers
his real mother and all he knows is what he’s told. He doesn’t know what to
trust. He wants to believe that the Watsons love and care for him, have his
best interest at heart, but isn’t so sure of that anymore when he finally—after
a lifetime of waiting for her—meets his soulmate, and the Watson’s first act is
to try to take her away from him.
The Virtuoso worlds collide, hearts are exposed, humans are endangered, and
the lives of Seth and Ava are changed forever. They’ll have to love without
judgment or reservation, they’ll have to be wise and accepting beyond their
years, they’ll have to forgive for things before they’ve even happened, they’ll
have to trust without seeing, have faith without knowing, and they’ll have to
light their own way in the dark when everyone else is blind to show them the
way. And more than anything else…
they’ll fight like hell to keep each other.
My take....
It was more than just wanting to have somebody, it was like this thing in
my body was pulled just a little too tight. Just enough to annoy and bother me,
but not enough to be painful. My significant was the only one who could make me
feel normal. I knew it.
**
From the very beginning I was sucked right back into this wonderful,
beautiful world Shelly created a while back. It was fun coming back and
visiting with those that have since grown up and started families of their own.
Maggie and Caleb are no longer those crazy teens we met in the beginning. They
now have children who are grown and finding their Significants. It really is
amazing.
So like I mentioned, from the start I was hooked. I love the whole plot of
Ava and Seth being one another’s Significants. But the best part of it all is
that Seth is a Watson. Oh the agony!! Seriously. These 2 cannot catch a break
to save their lives. Everything and everyone it seems, is standing in their
way. The obstacles they will face in this story will be ones that could break
them and bring their new relationship to an abrupt halt.

“No one is taking you away from me,” he promised, his voice low and ominous
was strangely exactly what I needed in that moment to finish falling over the
edge for him. “Are you worth it?” he asked as if it were ludicrous. “Is this
worth it? Have I waited my entire life for it? Will I give it up just because
it is hard? Just because it’s not given to me so easily?” He shook his head so
slowly and leaned forward, pressing his lips to my hair. “Ah, little bird, you
are so worth it,” he whispered.
**
Their romance is so absolutely breathtaking. Crane once again shows she is
a true artist when it comes to crafting a love story so swoonworthy, your heart
melts. I 100% adored Seth. Their story reminds me a bit of Maggie and Caleb’s.
But also different. So don’t worry about thinking you may be getting the same
story under different packaging. So not how it all goes down. In fact, I think
you will be quite pleased with it and the direction Crane is taking the series.
Wonderful story, UNDENIABLY CHOSEN is one that is sure to please fans of
the SIGNIFICANCE series. 5 Smitten Stars!
