All work
and no play makes Adeline Kendrick a dull girl, so when she heads to a casino
resort for a friend's bachelorette weekend, she's ready to have a good time.
Until she runs into Brendan Quinn, professional fighter and the one who got
away—the one her family drove away—and
things take a turn for the interesting.
Running
into his ex won't shake Brendan. Even if it brings up the old pain of loving
her when she was only slumming. Even if she looks really good. In fact, what better way to get over the past
than to take advantage of the still-sizzling chemistry running hot between
them? He's there to win an MMA fight, but he won't say no to a little physical
relief of a different kind.
But when
the weekend is over, Adeline isn't ready to give up her second chance that
easily. Brendan is still the one for her, no matter what her family thinks.
Now, if only she can convince him of that…

A Fighting Chance is a novella
length story from author Shannon Stacey, so it was a really fast-paced story. I
love the second chance/reunion troupe, so A
Fighting Chance was right up my alley.
Adeline (Del) and Brendan had broken up 6 years ago and hadn’t
seen each other since their break up. As Brendan broke up with Del, I have to
say I found myself laughing out loud when Del sees Brendan’s MMA fight picture
for the first time and she flip the picture off. It was the perfect reaction to seeing your
ex’s picture.
As both Del and Brendan were both still wildly attracted to one
another, and not in another relationship, I knew it wouldn’t be long before they
acted on their attraction. I felt like Del wanting one more night with Brendan
totally fit her personality and her need for closure to their relationship. I
actually wanted them to find a way to make a relationship work. They had great
chemistry and once they started talking about what had happened in the past, I
felt like pretty much started over.
I loved that Del made time for Brendan, even though she was
there for a girl’s weekend. She didn’t let him interrupt her time with her
friends, but he still stayed the whole time just in case she had a free minute.
I absolutely adored their sexy text messages and he would find her just for a
kiss. I even loved that Del confronted
her dad for his talk with Brendan all those years ago and had no problems
telling him about her real feelings for Brendan back then and the fact she
still had real feelings for him now.
A Fighting Chance was a fun
and sexy reunion story. It was a really fast read for me and even being a
novella length book, it was a very satisfying story.
