Chance has an unexpected attraction to his neighbors—a gay couple—and this unconventional relationship could end Chance’s career and family relationships.
Chance Findley is a successful marketing executive until his career is jeopardized by a disastrous presentation to a Chamber of Commerce member.
During a mandated recuperative break, Chance’s suppressed same-sex attraction reawakens when he bonds with his new neighbor, Arlo, despite Arlo having a physician partner named Charlie and a surprising job as a cam performer. Chance secretly subscribes to Arlo’s fan page. Guilty about his invasion of Arlo’s privacy, Chance avoids his neighbor until an acute medical problem brings Arlo and his doctor boyfriend—the same Chamber of Commerce member who hated Chance’s presentation—to his doorstep. An attraction grows between the three men.
But when Charlie’s attempt to mend Chance’s relationship with his boss backfires due to a potential conflict of interest, and Chance’s parents learn of his relationship with Arlo and Charlie, Chance finds himself out of a job, at odds with his family and struggling with Arlo and Charlie. Will the three of them be able to find a happily-ever-after, despite everything that stands in their way?

Forced to take leave from a job he loves, Chance is lost. And then he meets his neighbor, Arlo, who rolls into his life like a breath of fresh air and tidal wave of joy. But when Chance starts to feel attraction towards Arlo, he begins to question everything he knows about himself and his life. What if the two men next door are the answer to everything he needs?
Arlo is a whirlwind to say the least. He blows into and right back out of Chance’s life several times during the week Chance is moving in. He’s bright, he’s cheerful, and he’s positive no matter how bad the situation seems. While I appreciated such a light hearted character, he did push the limits of my patience at times. However, he was probably my favorite of the three simply because he refused to let life get him down.
Charlie, on the other hand, is very grounded and steady. Considering he’s a doctor, this is to be expected. He’s serious, but doesn’t take himself too seriously either. Truthfully, I can see how he and Arlo wound up together, they create a great balance for each other. One holding the other to reality while the other gives a reminder that things don’t have to always be so serious.
I wasn’t sure how or where Chance would fit into their already functional relationship. Eventually, I figured that Chance’s personality fell smack in the middle between Charlie and Arlo, allowing him to have his crazy moments as well as his more serious ones. I was impressed with how he handled his emerging same-sex attraction to Arlo and Charlie, and how he embraced it rather than fighting it.
Found by Chance is an engaging and uplifting story of finding your way, learning about yourself, and taking on the haters in the world. When you have someone who loves you, and always has your back, you can do and overcome anything, from bigots in the street to hateful family members. You might lose someone in the process, but you’re bound to find someone even more special along the way.

If you enjoyed the first two books in this series I'm sure that you will love this one. Chance is in a vulnerable state with his employer and at the same time he is moving house. He meets Arlo, one of his new neighbours, and is very soon enchanted by this delightful, charming and open young man. He begins to quietly question his sexuality and when he meets Arlo's partner Charlie he is drawn by their loving relationship and is attracted to it. When he is invited to become part of the relationship he has many questions and much to learn sexually. There were a multitude of problems on the way but I was totally intrigued by the development of this grouping; can Chance be fulfilled by his new life life with Arlo and Charlie? I greatly recommend this book.

This one is a bit of a roller coaster ride. We have depression, frustration, and medical emergencies, as well as the glow of exploring a new relationship. It’s a little far-fetched in a few places, but it’s fiction. Suspension of belief is expected.
Chance is a bit of a train wreck for a good part of the book. He certainly has reason to be! Arlo is just a ray of sunshine. Charlie is almost a daddy figure in how he cares for the others.
It’s also a bit cheesy at times- the dialogue sounds more like one of Arlo’s videos if they were scripted. It’s creative in that there aren’t really any repeats!
The end is more fun than expected. It’s good to see (most) everyone happy.
