Aiden Wellington has it all. He has an amazing, fulfilling job as a lawyer. He has a wonderful family who are all married with children. He has fancy cars, friends, and a beautiful Seattle home. Yes, he has everything a man could ever ask for, everything except the one thing that he desires most…a woman.

 

Savvy Russell has led an extremely hard life. She’s learned from a very early age that good things just don’t happen to her. She’s convinced karma has it out for her. When she finds something good, ultimately she’s left with nothing except for the shirt on her back. She’s always waiting for her newly found piece of happiness to be ripped away from her.

 

When life literally throws Savvy into Aiden’s arms can he get past his bitterness and see what is right in front of him?

 

Will Savvy finally put aside her misguided feelings of self-worthlessness to see what everybody else sees?

 

Is it possible to replace a lifetime of hurt with something as simple as love?

“There are a ton of twists and turns along the way to Jax and Lana’s HEA and each one left me grabbing for my tissue box!” ~Becca

Ava Wellington is a busy, prestigious Seattle lawyer with her sights firmly set on her goals. She’s precise and calculated to a fault and doesn’t have time in her career for relationships, especially with a man like Jax. Neither he nor what comes with him were ever part of her plan.

Jaxon Landry is ex-military, turned chef of his own thriving restaurant and the best single dad he knows how to be. He lives and breathes for the happiness of his two little girls. For the past two years he’s lived in a dreary world of regret, loss, and disappointment. That is until he meets Ava. He never thought he’d see color again in his dreams, much less in a woman.

Can Jax show Ava that she is more than checklists and goals?

Can Ava keep her promise even when she’s handed the golden opportunity to her ultimate goal. Will she risk love over her career?

Family is a feeling, not a definition. There are no words for it. It’s a feeling in your gut, in your heart, and in your soul.

There’s nothing you can do to stop true love, it’s unavoidable.

The Wellington family has hooked me in so many ways. This series is simply to die for! The characters are well developed (we even get to revisit each of them a little bit in each book, which rocks) and so realistic that I’m pretty sure Annalisa found this family somewhere and is totally just writing what she sees hehe

Unavoidable Chance is an epic love story. This book is a major tear jerker and absolutely a swoon worthy story.

I won’t say that this is my fave in the series…because I think Max and Chloe’s story is still winning that one. But Unavoidable Chance was a wonderful read. 

Jax is so damn sexy that I could barely control the drool! He is so sweet and the whole dad side of things just added to his sex appeal. 

Ava is just as single minded in this book as she has been in all of the others. She is dead set on reaching her work goal and nothing will get in her way. Even when she makes a promise to slow down a bit she doesn’t seem to be able to manage it.

The story line is interesting and definitely keeps you guessing. There are a ton of twists and turns along the way to Jax and Lana’s HEA and each one left me grabbing for my tissue box! This is one book that will definitely take you on that emotional roller coaster!

I have to say that I still love the “running into love” aspect of this series. In Unavoidable Chance they literally run into each other not once, not twice, but three times! It’s epic!

I was a little amazed by how quickly things escalated. I’m not sure I would have been cool with how their first sexy scene happened. I mean…he never really said anything…it just happened out of no where. Oh well…even with that amazingly sudden sex scene, the romance flows really well and feels right.

Annalisa Nicole has such a natural writing style. I absolutely love reading her books and this one was no different. The little snippet we get into Aiden and Savvy’s story has me already ready to get on my knees and BEG for her to give it to me! I HAVE to know what happens!

I am an “Indie” contemporary romance author. I live in California with my husband and two teenage boys. I love being a stay at home mom. My husband and I enjoy wine tasting and camping with our kids with our four wheelers in the middle of nowhere, where you can find me with my pink Ryder BB gun! We have a handful of pets, a dog named Lucy (who is in my books) and a guinea pig named Flufy (my son spelled her name that way) and a cat who adopted us many years ago and has never left. She is a spoiled outdoor cat with her own two story house and a heated bed.

“This book was action packed, filled with love, tears, A SHIT TON OF SNOT and romance that left me absolutely breathless and begging for more!” ~Becca

Max “Slick” Jones has never led an easy life. He’s rough, hardened and tatted on the outside and never once thought that he deserved to be loved. Despite his upbringing, he’s dedicated his life to helping others. When his old friend Asher Wellington calls upon his services, he drops everything knowing he has a lifetime of debt to fulfill to this family. But, what he didn’t expect was to meet Chloe.

Chloe Peters grew up in a privileged, picture perfect life with amazing parents and her twin brother, Kyle. She and Kyle were living out their lifelong dream until one second, one moment in time changed everything and sent her into a tailspin she thought she could never recover from.

Will the exchange of deep dark pain in the eyes of two hardened souls open the door to a happily ever after?

Can Max show Chloe that there can be life after tragedy? Can Chloe Show Max that he is worthy of love?

Sometimes the hardest person to forgive, is yourself.

This is a mature audience book, and is intended for adults only.

Isn’t sleep just totally adorable when it tries to compete with the book your reading?

I just dealt with this!! I finished my writing for the night and thought ‘Oh, it’s only 10:30, I can totally start reading A Fighting chance by Author Annalisa Nicole and finish it tomorrow to review on Monday’s release day!’ Yeah…guess finished the book at nearly 3 am and fell asleep with tears in her eyes over the story?!?!

While the writing style was a tad different than what I’m used to, basically the dual POVs overlapped a bit along with some wording, but by the time I was half way through chapter one…I just didn’t care and I ADORED it! The story line captured me so fully and completely that nothing else mattered! Including the fact that my time to sleep was quickly disappearing without my noticing!

Guys…seriously…this book…just WOW!

Before I was part of the way through chapter one, which is just there to sort of catch you up on what has happened in the previous book with the main characters (I totally appreciated this seeing as I have yet to read the other books in the series), I had developed such an attachment to both Chloe and Max that I simply had to know what happened. There was no ‘Well here is a good stopping point, I think I’ll sleep now so I’m not a zombie tomorrow’. Oh no! This book was action packed, filled with love, tears, A SHIT TON OF SNOT and romance that left me absolutely breathless and begging for more!

It was intense.

It was heart wrenching.

It was emotional.

It was crazy and perfect and epic and flawless and …. well you get the point!

Max had his ‘stupid man’ moments…but the book wouldn’t be worth reading if everything was all ‘sunshine and floaty hearts’. Every book needs it’s drama. It’s tension. Trust me, Annalisa Nicole has tension down to a science…an art form! It’s just amazing how perfectly she manages to make me both adore and loath Max during parts of this book. I get why he did what he did…and yet I still got pissed off at him as I read in Chloe’s POV.

I am still amazed and perplexed by the fact that I connected with both characters to such a point that as the POV switched…my outlook and thoughts and feelings towards the situation switched along with it! I can honestly say that this is a first for me!

The romance flowed naturally. I love it when a book makes the characters take their time, not rush into the physical relationship, especially with extenuating circumstances such as these. The sexual tension and desire wasn’t overwhelming and the sex scenes, when they finally came, were well written and left my mouth a little dry and my thoughts in some pretty naughty places!

The characters are well developed. Deep. Real. Raw. Emotional. Addictive. And so well written that I couldn’t help but feel as if I was one of the other characters along for the ride! I love that we get a glance at the characters from the past book (which I am totally dying to read now) while still focusing on the main characters in this book. This family was so close and so loving and accepting. I couldn’t help but fall a little bit in love with every last one of them!

Overall, this author and this book are amazing! I definitely recommend you heading over to Amazon and falling in love with the characters just as I did! The story is impeccable, the characters are extremely well developed and lovable and the romance is one that will leave you wanting more and yet knowing that they totally got the HEA that they deserved!
