"We are lips, tongues, and gasps, and that works just fine for me. He pushes me onto my back, his body covering mine as I tug up his shirt, wanting to feel his skin."
A Chance for Us, by Corinne Michaels, gives us a chance to witness Oliver and Maren's love story and ends the The Willow Creek Valley: Parkerson Family Saga....for now.
A bride to be, Maren, jilted by the groom, Oliver, 2 weeks before the big day. With her father's dying wish to walk her down the aisle, what is she to do???
Well, it just so happens that her college friend and the owner of the resort where they're to be married, is available and is also named.... you guessed it. Oliver! What are the chances??? I would call that serendipity.
This begins their fake relationship that quickly becomes a complicated situation.
The attraction is undeniable. The heat between the two is beyond description. Their situation is filled with complications left and right. Including Maren's best friend, Devney, who was Oliver's previous "love of his life" who chose someone else.
Oliver is determined to never be 2nd choice ever again. Being a replacement to be the groom.... that doesn't bode well for their blooming relationship. Can Maren prove to Oliver that he is her first choice? What must she do to show him that he will forever be her number one?
"You make me want things," Oliver confesses, looking down at me. "Things I swore I would never want again."
Does Oliver get to be number one finally??? Read the book to find out.
A Chance for Us by Corinne Michaels, is a beautifully written story about conquering your fears, letting people be there for you, and that shutting love out is not the answer. Giving a chance to let love in is worth the risk of opening yourself up and letting family be there for you in times of need.
I love making character cast videos of books that I love, so it's only fitting to make my character video of A Chance for Us.
I've read about 90% of all of Corinne Michaels's books and I have loved every single one of them. Her writing is in a class all in itself. There's no comparison when it comes to the emotions she brings out in every book. She writes love stories that have substance with humor, angst, heart break that evoke emotions that carries through you throughout the book.
This book is a standalone that can be read out of order. If you'd like to start with the first book, Could've Been Us, just click on the link and get started right away.
If you're looking for a gut wrenching, ugly crying, soul destroying story, I also highly recommend The Salvations Series. Beloved: Book 1 of the series was my very first book from Corinne. The series blew me away. Book 3 and 4 are my favorite. Since I read these before I started this blog, I will be writing more reviews by this author in the near future.
For a complete list of book series, please go to Corinne Michael's site. I am not kidding you. She has written 5 book series, 3 standalones and 2 co-written with Melanie Harlow.
After reading the book, I would love to hear what you think??
Here's my soul dog and book mate, Pippa, lounging while I read on the couch. Pippa gives it a 5 licks rating with a side of Margarita.
