CHANCE OF A LIFETIME
Anderson Brothers #3
Marissa Clarke
Releasing November 16th, 2015
Entangled: Lovestruck
Sometimes
the biggest risk is playing it safe…
Gen Richards is tired of living down
to her family’s expectation of the helpless blind girl. Resurrecting her
high-school bucket list that begins with “kiss a total stranger” seems just the
thing until she finds herself in a panty-melting lip lock with her big
brother’s best friend.
Chance Anderson thrives on
adrenaline, but Genny’s the one risk he’s not willing to take. His recklessness
a decade ago landed her in the hospital and ejected him from her life. He’s bad
for her and everyone knows it—especially her big brother.
Chance reluctantly helps Gen
complete her bucket list in order to keep her out of trouble. Running through a
freezing fountain, playing Spin the Bottle while fending off a mad horde of
stinging insects, and skinny dipping with homicidal attack swans don’t hold a
candle to the real danger: falling for the one person he can never have.
Laura's Review:
This is one of those tug-on-the-heartstrings romances that just feels good to read. Both Gen and Chance are good people who you just want to root for.
I wasn't sure how I'd feel about one of the main characters having such a significant disability, but it's clear from the beginning the Gen doesn't want people to view her as anything less than whole, and I quickly stopped defining her by it as well.
I haven't read the first two books in this series, but I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything major. This book definitely makes me want to go back and get the full story of all the brothers!
Chance of a Lifetime: 4/5 stars
