A FIGHTING CHANCE

By A.J. Sand

New Adult/Adult Romantic Suspense

Released February 4, 2014

Amazon

Jesse Chance is a bastard.

And that’s all he heard his entire life growing up once news got out that he was the illegitimate child of womanizing ex-con, Henry Chance.

Stuck in Glory, Texas, a town too small to escape the sins of his parents, Jesse turned into exactly what everyone expected him to be: a lover of liquor and women, and so good with his fists, he became a teenage champion of the secret underground fighting rings that float around the South, while doubting the only people who ever believed he could be more, his ailing mother, and his girlfriend, Drew Hallisay.

But determined to make his mother’s dying wish come true, he enrolled in a college on the East Coast, far away from his past. Jesse Chance is reborn into a new life, and set on keeping Glory, Texas--and Henry Chance--in his rear view.

Until a visit from his father in the middle of the night changes everything.

Forced to return to Glory to prevent a tragedy, Jesse is soon back on the fighting circuit with Drew's help and facing the history he was so desperate to escape, the part of him he would prefer to hide.

As he slips back into his old ways--Henry Chance's ways--he finds himself torn between the guy he was and the one he’s been struggling to become. And in a world dead set on betting against you, can you ever really overcome your past… or your destiny?

My 5 Star Review

WARNING:
- This is NOT a traditional, contemporary love story.
-This IS a story about human nature at some of its absolute worst; it's about it being black and gray. It's dark and probably intense and a little disturbing. It's violent, too.

^^^^^^^^ That is the truth!!!!!

I will say this Anyone who LOVES UFC needs to add this to their TBR list. This I think(no I KNOW) is the best UFC book I have read. the story line is so different than what we usually read, BUT it is so Much better. The characters truly make you feel for them. You follow their Journey and you are right there with them every step of the way, holding your breath,you have the heart palpitations right along with them through it all.

This is a real gritty, raw, MMA story. It may not be the best kind of ride for everyone, but I loved every minute of it.

I loved Jesse. He was so true to his family values that he chose to do everything it took to protect his little brother. Even though that meant he had no choice but to return to the life he use to live and take the chances he needed in order to protect him.

Henry I disliked 100% enough said.

I loved Drew, I love how no matter the time between them when Jesse needed her help she was right there to help him.

I love how A.J. held nothing back in this story. It shows how much compassion she had for these characters, as she did not sugar coat one part of this story at all.

Definitely not a read for the weak at heart kind of readers. If you can handle intense fighting, gritty, raw scenes then this is a must read for you.
