Book Review: One Chance

 

Fake dating my best friend? Total disaster. With his cocky grin and devilish charm, firefighter Lee Sullivan makes every woman in our small town swoon. Every woman except for me. Which is why I’m shocked when he steps in at the town’s Matchmaker’s Gala and outbids my crush during the charity auction, committing us to six prearranged dates. Six dates where we, very publicly, pretend to be falling in love. Despite my objections and our efforts to set each other up with other people, Lee is convinced pretending to date each other is the perfect opportunity to get the women in town off his back (and out of his bed), while also helping to nudge my non-committal crush in the jealousy department. 

Stupidly, I agree. After the disastrous blind dates he set me up on, what’s a few months of letting Lee worship the ground I walk on? He owes me. Trouble is––every fake kiss, every lingering touch, every filthy word he whispers when no one is around––is starting to feel very, very real. We know everything about each other––from my orphaned past to his irrational hatred of dolls. The only secret I have ever kept from Lee spans all the way back to his time in the Army and it’s the one thing that could ruin our friendship forever. Because where Lee is concerned, I have learned to guard my heart. Suddenly, he’s asking for the opportunity to feel something real. He’s asking for the one thing he wouldn’t want if he ever knew the one chance.


My Review

OMG. I loved this book so, so much. I woke up last night and had trouble falling asleep, so I started this book. Before you know it, I was already forty percentage done with the book. I did finish it after I was done with work. 

Lee and Annie make a great couple. Yet, if you were to have asked them in the beginning they would have denied it. They were the last ones to figure it out. Everyone else in town knew these two would be endgame. 

Lee and Annie setting each other up on dates was hilarious. They wanted the other to not have fun and it showed with the date choices. The doll with skin! Do have to agree with Lee and Annie about Crossfitters. You can tell who is a Crossfitter as they do like to talk about it. I used to be into Crossfit.
