Take a Chance on Me
by Jaqueline Snowe
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Contemporary Sports Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Kate
Zell and Brody Carlson have been best friends since elementary school. Their
relationship had always been easy. Both of them loyal to a fault, they had been
there for each other through everything: heartbreaks, hangovers, and tragedy.
So when Kate needs a place to stay for three months, Brody doesn’t think twice
about agreeing. After all, they had known each other forever. Would could go
wrong living with his closest and oldest friend?
Apparently,
everything. Three months in a small apartment becomes more than complicated.
Brody shouldn’t be attracted to his dorky best friend…he most definitely
shouldn’t. That would be absurd. She’s a relationship girl and he’s more a
one-night-sans-clothes kind of guy.
One
drunken dare of strip poker changes everything. Suddenly, two people with too
much to lose play a dangerous game. The unapologetic playboy and the
girl-next-door have a choice to make, if only their pasts didn’t keep getting
in the way of their future.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
“I
have to bat. Don’t punish me too much, please?” She puppy-dog eyed me before
jogging off. She hit a solid single to right field and jumped up and down, so
excited that she slipped off the bag.
“You
good?” I shouted, not even trying to hide my laughter.
“Emotionally
bruised. That’s all.” She brushed the dirt off her ass and ran like a fool when
the next person hit a triple. She jogged up to me, out of breath with her hands
on her knees. “Lay it on me. What do I have to do?”
“Go
on a date with me. Don’t overthink it.”
“Wait,
that’s it?” She looked up at me with a furrowed brow. “A date?”
“Yes.”
“You?
On a date? With me?”
“Yes,
that is typically how it works, right? Or is that not what people do anymore?”
“But…Brody.”
She shook her head and kicked the dirt, running her foot back and forth. “It’s
you.”
“What
does that mean, exactly?” Anger crept up my chest.
“You
don’t do ‘dates.’” Her little air quotes pissed me off.
“I
don’t really care what I do or don’t do. You lost the bet. Your punishment is a
date. End of, Shorty.” I ran a hand down her arm, squeezing. “Turn off your
overactive brain.”
A
smile broke through her barriers, and she bit her delicious lip. “Okay. When?”
“You’ll
get details at a later date.” I puffed my chest and tried not to appear too
smug.
“Oh,
so your people will call my people?” She snorted, shoving me in the side.
“You
realize I do have people, right?”
“Oh,
my God. I forgot. You do.”
“So,
I need to hear a yes.”
“Sure.
I guess. I don’t have a choice.” She grumbled and picked up her glove to walk
to her car.
“No,
you don’t.”

REVIEW:
I
totally loved this book!!
This book is such a fun, exciting read that touches on good times, friendships, and of course love.
This book is such a fun, exciting read that touches on good times, friendships, and of course love.
This
book keeps you totally engaged from page one through the very last page! I honestly had a hard time putting this book
down!
I really
liked the main characters, Kate and Brody.
They were genuine, realistic, and relatable. They were easy to picture as a couple – the
ones you’d go to for advice, cheer for, and even want to join for double dates. Plus, their chemistry was just off the
charts!!! You could feel the passion
dripping off the pages!!! Also, they
were so cute together. Their silly,
witty banter was beyond entertaining and led to real LOL’s that definitely got
me some stares in the park LOL!!! I
really enjoyed following along on their adventure and couldn’t get enough of
their story!
I really enjoyed reading this book and totally had a smile on most of the time I was reading it! Furthermore, this book will definitely have you laughing-out-loud so probably not a good idea to read it at a library or class or work lol!
Further proof that opposites really do attract as Kate and Brody couldn’t be more different. But I loved that no matter what they were always there for each other. They always had each other’s backs.
I loved
the storyline as the friends to lovers’ angle has always interested me. I think we’ve all had that one friend that one
day we noticed in another light and thought about crossing the line. Perhaps we did, or didn't... This book makes you want to go cross that line... Right... NOW!!! LOL!!!
The
writing style is fluid, well developed, and at a steady pace.
I
like that this book touches on many topics such as love, romance, friendship,
second chances, change, dedication, perseverance, growth, humor, determination, devotion, faith, hope, forgiveness, moving on,
starting over, new beginnings, overcoming obstacles, and so much more!
All
in all, I really enjoyed reading this book and would absolutely recommend this
book to all NA romance readers!
