We are the cast-offs, the forgotten, the broken; we are dark, dangerous men haunted by our violent pasts.

The Guardian collects us, rehabilitates us, and gives us a new lease on life…if we follow a few, simple rules:

Once you’re in, there’s no going back; never take a life; loyalty to the brotherhood above all.

SIN is all I know—it’s my whole world. And then I see HER, and everything changes. We share secret scars and sordid sins; we are both shackled to our pasts with no hope for a future… unless we can work together to slay our demons and discover the possibilities love and vulnerability can create.

When reading a Wilder book, never assume the storyline. Why? Because it's usually a lot better than what you think.

Dirty Beasts: Chance is the untold, spiritual fairytale of Beauty and the Beast. The Beauty of being seen and accepted, but the Beast inside you fighting and rejecting what's being offered. You can't have and love one without the other.

Chance and Annika are two souls on a journey of forgiveness and freedom. While on this journey, they discover just who they are to one another.

This is the third book in this series, and my love for it continues to grow. Actually, I am ready for the next book.

If you haven't been to Vegas and visited Club Sin, then you're not reading right.
Must Read!

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of "DIRTY BEASTS: CHANCE" I was hooked on this read immediately a page turner to the end dealing with acceptance, scars, sordid pasts, possibility of love, forgiveness, freedom, twist that make this a very intriguing story you can't put down.
Chance is a cast off, one of the forgotten, dark dangerous, broken, haunted by his violent past the Guardians Collect them, rehabilitate, give a new lease on life if they follow the rules.
Annika & Chance meet changing everything, they share secrets scars, sordid sins, both locked into their pasts no hope of a future unless they work together to fight their demons & possibly find love.
I definitely recommend to get this interesting, captivating journey Chance & Annika take you on, will they get their HEA you must get this excellent read to see how it all turns out. AWESOME READ!!!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. This is the 3rd book in the Dirty Beast series. Each book can be read as a standalone.
Chance and Annika are both recovering drug addicts. Every day is a struggle, but together they can lean on each other. Be the strength the other needs. Help each other make amends with things from the past and make a future together. They just have to face their fears head on.
I enjoyed this book so much. As someone with addiction in my family and having to cut ties. This book really pulled at my heart strings. Loving this series and can't wait for the next book.

Jasinda Wilder is the master of grabbing your emotions and then twisting them right out of you. Chance is the 3rd installment of the Dirty Beasts series. These big beautiful men have turned their future over to the Guardian. They live by rules and a regimen. But it seems there is some flexibility when needed to help the woman they've fallen in love with.
Simply another incredible book.

Chance’s story was so much better than I imagined!

Annika and Chance are such beautifully broken and haunted characters that fight every day to stay away from the draw of addiction.

When I saw Chance’s reaction to Annika in Kane’s story I knew that his book would be amazing. I was not disappointed!!

This book tackles such a hard subject in such a beautiful and healing way. We get to journey with these characters as they find forgiveness with those they hurt and within themselves.

It’s a slow burn between these characters as they find their inner peace and then the moment that they let themselves feel that they deserve to be happy, it’s an inferno between them.

I loved this story and I’m so happy that these characters found the other half of their souls in each other. I love this world and getting to see this rugged group of broken men be healed by amazing women.

I cannot wait for the next book in this series. It’s going to be interesting getting to know Silas.

Oh Chance...the man is potent! Let me tell you! Not only is he gorgeous but he is so understanding and so so open with everything! Annika on the contrary is closed off and distrusts everybody, with good reasons. I don't think there are two people more perfect for each other than these two. They understand and complete each other. I loved reading their journey of acceptance and forgiveness.
Can't wait for the next book!

Wow, just wow. This five star read hits all the feels. Real life struggles of addiction, childhood trauma, painful pasts and battered souls that are pulled together in story that will make you feel the pain, heartache, the ugly, and the beautiful.
Chance and Annika save each other with love and compassion. They fight each others demons to heal one another and find the ultimate goal of hot as sin chemistry and love. Take the roller coaster, it’s worth the ride.

Wow.. Addiction is truly the devil. It has a way to turn you in to a completely different person. It truly takes everything in you to find your way back to some sort of normalcy and it usually comes at a cost. This story really surprised me and gutted me. Just when you think the last Dirty Beast story was rough, BAM, we get hit with an even tougher life story.

i wasn’t expecting this book to be such not an easy quick read. i was going into it with an impression that it was an uncomplicated big guy smut. but no it was a slowburn with the greatest amount of dialogue i’ve ever read in one book , all they did was talk. and quite heavy into addiction topic. i was dreading the relapse or some twist of that sort but no, they just travelled the whole book without showering and made amends with people.

her being six three was a surprise.

i know it’s not the first book in the series but it felt like i missed half the plot when i just started the first chapter. it felt like a summary. when i reached the epilogue which was 10+ pages long and in next guy’s pov , i understood that the first chapter was this way bc the epilogue of the previous book explained it all. well for those who read this like a standalone (me) - “you’re on your own kid”.

wasn’t working with him having a ponytail. and a long beard.

at first i was cringing at “mama” then i embraced it and even found it charming. okay it was charming up until it was used during sexual activity. there it was icky.

it bothered me that she was on her 3rd day in the same clothes without shower and toothbrush.

this was beautiful:
“One, no man is an island—we need community, even just a few people who see you, know you, and accept you. Two, conversely, we absolutely are islands—no one can ever truly know the absolute entirety of another person.”


“You, um…” he starts, trails off, starts again. “You said I was…beautiful.”

This is the 3rd installment in the Sin interconnected series from Jasinda Wilder and it did not disappoint.

Chance and Annika’s story or journey is one about pulling yourself up from the bottom, recognizing your self worth, forgiveness and acceptance.

I know that sounds like a lot going on but this story envelops all of those things in such a way that you are flipping pages to see what’s next.

Chance is just that….the opportunity for Annika to have another chance. But in helping her he too finds the strength from within to give himself that same chance.

I loved not only the chemistry between these too but the level of comfort that they seem to achieve from one another in such a short time.

If you haven’t ventured into the Dirty Beasts series this is a great place to start. You can always catch up with Rev and Kane next.

Chance is book three in the Dirty Beasts series. The toughness, tenderness and vulnerability made me fall for Chance immediately. Annika’s tough vibrato is covering her pain and vulnerability as well. Like recognizes like and the story that comes is intense, heartbreaking, beautiful and healing. And don’t worry, off the charts hot too! Each book in this series pulls at a piece of my heart and I can’t wait for more.

So, 3 Books In. Another Exceptional Series From JW.

TW: Drug Addiction.

The Men of the series are all withdrawn veterans each shielding their own world of pain. They are the Broken Arrows and they live and work at an exclusive nightclub in Vegas where literally anything goes; Club Sin.

The club has only two rules, if a woman says no, you will stop without question. Rule 2, if you start a fight it will end in a cage fight, you facing one of the Broken Arrows.

Each book tells the story of one of the men and the women that they step into the line of fire to protect. This book features Chance and Annika.

The overall theme of the books is a wounded veteran rescuing naive wounded woman.

This one was rough. Both Chance and Annika had some hard times in their lives, times that they caused themselves with choices they made. Chance made it through it and was living live, or it seemed he was, as long as he was at the club, he had the security he needed. Annika was in the middle of things, past the really hard times, but still in the life despite not wanting to. I loved that Chance got Annika free and then took her to clear her past. It was great to see Annika set things right with those she wronged, great too, to see how that gave Chance the inspiration to do the same. It made it so when they went home, they were free and clear to be happy and live that way.

chance

I like Chance and Annika. Both have struggled with staying clean and come out stronger together. Each has their own past, demons to reconcile and together they do this, shoring each other up and believing in them. The greatest feeling is when they believe in themselves enough for self forgiveness.
The sexy time in their story didnt hit right for me and seemed contrived and not organic. It left me with a “meh” feeling and that’s the only reason for the 4 stars. The storyline and their battles are real and I was fully invested in their story.

Chance and Annika have been through so much in their lives. To find each other and have some of the same ghosts in their past is enough to be fate. Chance proves he is stronger than he thinks and helps Annika through making amends to her family. She helps Chance see he is strong and they are made for each other. I love the dynamic of these two, he is a very big man and she is a talk woman they fit each other and compliment their faults and strengths. These broken arrows each find the woman that compliments them .vacant wait for the rest

Chance #3 04/30/2025

Chance is wiring when he is alerted to a issue in the vip longe. When he gets there he watches this little jerk treat this tall beautiful woman like a slave and he doesn’t like it. Annika is the women she is just doing what she told because she owes him money because he’s her ex drug dealer but she now clean but she has to pay him back. Chance won’t put up with this so he steps in but after kicking him out he’s it not over and there are so much more these two must face to find a HEA. So enjoy the read and see what they fight throug to find it!!

HURTING

This was a sad story. They both were tormented for different reasons but their feelings were just as strong. Two people who found each other and helped the things wrong in their hearts. They had been through something deep. They saved each other and what hurt.
This was well written and descriptive and stated "Forgiveness is for yourself." I gave this rating because it was long suffering one minute then total sex to the end. Felt like I missed a middle.

Great series

Always enjoy this author for years now. Thus series is all alpha male with a sweet side. I'm a bigger fan of stronger heroins normally but its fun to see the big strong guys have a softer side and vulnerable conversation. Chances insecurities are genuine and not often written about. You'll enjoy the discovery

I hate to say it but this book bored me to death. To much about their addiction and not much else. When they did finally get to the intimate part of their relationship I skimmed most of it because it just didn't grab my attention. I kept waiting for that part to be over.
Now the only thing I want out of this series is to find out who the Boss is and why?

In the third installment of the DIRTY BEASTS series, we get Annika and Chance’s story. This series deals with some heavy subjects, no fluff. Both leads are recovering addicts and their storied tore my heart out at times. But watching them open up was amazing. This series just gets better & better. I cannot wait to get to know the rest of the guys.

Oh Chance - the beautiful Hawaiian giant. He had my heart from the word go. Him and his love, Annika are a match made in heaven - both searching for freedom from their addictions, and doing it together made this an epic love story.

Absolutely devoured this, and I cried when Annika reunited with her family.

Addiction... Terrible thing

I can only imagine that an addict never looses that craving. It's a daily struggle I would assume. Hopefully with forgiving of your friends and loved ones can start a positive direction but to forgive yourself is the way to set yourself free. Only you can change what you don't like. No one can do it for you.

Chance

What an intense series! They live below a club they work at because it keeps them safe from their past - that is until they each stumble across women who need their help. Great stories!

I Really Loved Chance and Annika. They were perfect together. Chance might be rough Alpha Male but he has only sweet side for Annika.

Jasinda Wilder never disappoints her readers. I've always enjoyed reading her books and I Highly Recommend this series to all Readers.

Chance is what these two take with each other

Chance and Nik are made for each other. Their life stories are so similar but so different too, and the ability to find each other and love one another is what make this book special
