What an EXCELLENT book... Just loved the way he stayed with her until she got out of the hospital and even when she thought she didn't need his help he was there for her... Just the fact that he loves her and she loves him it scares them both for the simple fact that he doesn't wanna turn out like his father and she has been hurt so many time, but yet they still wanna be with each other are just a little bit scared too amit... Even though they love each other she doesn't know how to communicate very well to let him how it makes her feel when her past keeps coming up... If only she would talk to him about her past and why she keeps running... Amazing story and just can't want to finish Last Chance to see how it ends...

When the past and present collide in a horrific way, both Drew and Jasmine must deal with and work through what happened to her, the attack by someone brought into her life by her own mother.
As she and Drew move forward with their relationship, sharing space in Drew's home and adjusting to being with each other day in and day out, the revelation that her biological father has reached out to her sister, makes her question if being with Drew is even possible. She wants it more than anything, but she hates the thought of any part of her past touching him and what they're building together.
She needs to decide if going to Paris for a fresh start is what's best for not only her, but for Drew as well...even if doing so would break both their hearts.- By Elizabeth

Drew and Jasmine find that they have a battle to stay together on there hands. Andre (Drew) and Jasmine find that nothing in life will be easy, as if their past did not teach them that, and want their chance to have love and happiness will be no exception. The struggle for these two was real. The journey to see them to the end was just as real and emotional.
This second installment of the trilogy gave still rich strong characters. Life's dramas, obstacles, and challenges. The struggle to make it work was real for this couple. Again this one leaves off with unfinished business and begs you at the same time to continue on to the next and final installment of the trilogy.

It will keep you on your toes no doubt. I am so glad I took a chance on these Chance series. Hands down some of the best I have read in a long time.

The amazing sequel to Not By Chance starts out right where the first book left off and the drama never stops! This book is jam packed with romance, adventure, sex, and anything else you could want out of a novel. We're thrown into Jasmine and Drew's world in the wake of a violent attack that has left Jasmine hospitalized. Still determined to prove to how much he cares, Drew stays by her side throughout her recovery and the aftermath, and tries to show her the true depth of his feelings.

I didnt know that this was a continuation of the book Not By Change. But it looks like Taking Chances picks up where book one left off. I was able to piece together what had happen and was able to read the book with very little gaps. I loves that there was a lot of reading elements like adventure, romance and sex in this story. I will be getting book one and doing a reread of book two so that I can absurbe the whole story as its laid out.

Part 2
The connection between the couple was a smidge stronger than in the previous story. It's growing in me. Let's see what the next storyline brings.
