Lacey's shaky long-term relationship with her on again off again boyfriend, Greg, who is headed to the NFL, is continuously being tested, but it seems that Nathan, his teammate, is more than willing to suit up and get in the game to win Lacey's heart. Constant flags are thrown at their attempts at a connection and sends them both on a path of emotional ups and downs that neither of them is certain they can endure.
Join Lacey and Nate on this final installment of the Chance Series. Along with Zoe, West, Mike, and Kelise, as they all once again, face their own relationship obstacles.
See what transpires when love and life happen By Chance & when a Chance Taken results in a Chance Given.

This was such a sweet story, with a bunch of couples, a bunch a black love and a lot of happily ever afters. I'll be honest and say that I didn't remember the other stories in this series, but bits and pieces started coming back as I read more and more.
I enjoyed their journeys, their triumphs, the setbacks and come ups! Looking forward to finding out more about JD and Tory if the author decides to continue with the series.

While a lot of the decisions made by the characters were suspect AF, if handled properly they make for a compelling story, which the author has done. Also this writer DEFINITELY knows what a brother likes to see in a woman physically FOR REAL!!!! But where the white wimmens at?!?!?!😂🔥🤣🔥😂🔥🤣🔥

I was into this story but I stopped 16% into it because I didn't like Lacey's character & how Lacey played with Nathan feelings. I liked Nathan.

Awesome Story
There was so much drama in this story and I loved it! Loved Nathan and Lacey! I just felt bad for them at times. There was always something or someone in their way, but they always found their way back to each other. I'm glad they finally got their happy every after. I despised Greg he was such a manipulator and jerk. He deserves everything he gets! I also loved catching up on Zoe and West, I'm so glad they worked through their problems. I'm glad Kelise and Mike finally got it together. They both were hilarious, they kept me laughing. Loved JD, he was a great friend to both Nathan and Lacey. I'm glad he found love as well. Hate that the story had to end.

I loved this book. I have been following this series since it started and there is no way i would have been able to follow this story without reading the 2 books before it. No way could it be a standalone. But i loved it more because of the other 2 books.
I would love to see what happens with Jupiter and Tory (hint hint).

Chances All Around
I went back and re-read books one and two before diving into this one and I am glad that I did. This books was a great conclusion to the series. It was liking getting three, almost four stories in one. I just wish there was more to Lacey and Nathan’s story because as soon as their truths were revealed, the book was ending.

Wow I've been with this series from Book 1 and each edition had gotten better and better, the relationships are so relatable, the ups and downs, the romance and love shines through! One of the BEST series I've read in a long time...but on a side note...I need more about JD and Tory please...LOL!

Chance Given
After dangling from a cliff from the previous installment of the Chance series, I have to give up major props for Nathan & Lacey's story. Adding West, Zoe, Kel and Mike was just the topping on the cake for me! Twists and turns kept me wanting more. Loved this book!!

Loved this series
I loved this series. It was filled with all my favorite things I look for in a good book. Drama, comedy, action and romance. I loved me some Mike and Kels. Don't let me forget the setting, I love everything about New Orleans.
I hate that the series is over but I loved the way it ended.

Yessssss
I’m ready for so much more! The Chance Series are the first stories I’ve read by Diana W but will not be my last! Nathan and Lacey! Not to mention Zoe and West, Kelise and Mike... Love, drama, laughter, and did I mention love? Can’t wait to delve into the next masterpiece.

Lacey and Nate went through alot to get their happy ending. I'm glad because Greg didn't deserve her. It was hearing from the rest of the family as well. I hope Tory and JD get their story next. Great job as always.

Loved it!
I loved it which wasn’t a shocker: like 4 chapters were repeated so that made me slightly salty! Other than that, greatness. I wish we could’ve saw more about JD and Torrey

I was very satisfied with how this book tied everything in from the previous books and left open the possibility of more spinoffs. Thank you!!!

Perfect ending
This was a great way to wrap up all of the couples’ stories. I absolutely loved Nate and Lacey and the way their story ended. I am not usually a fan of so many points of view, however, in this case, it worked well to wrap the series up.

Simply Amazing!
Diana gave readers another well-told,funny as hell story about getting a chance to be with your true love. Even a few years apart did not lessen the love between the hero and the heroine. The story was simply amazing!

Love Endures All Things
Great HEA! Whew, it’s been a long time coming for NaCey! Thought they would never get there. Although there were a lot of outside forces trying to intervene. Love prevail! Read it, you won’t be disappointed.

Chance Given
This was soooo good. I love the way this author writes. It's the perfect balance or fictional love and real life situations. The love is always so pure and unfiltered. I enjoyed Chance Given. The love of the couple's gave me joy. That's always great.

Finally
Good series. I'm glad Lacey got her happy ending. I was expecting more from Zoe's story, why did she run off the way she did? The beginning was kind of slow but picked up nicely in the middle. The paternity, I pretty much had figured that out. Overall, good read.

Awesome series!
I absolutely loved the series. The nuances of the characters were so authentic to me. Sometimes you don't get your happily ever after right away. It may take 5 years- and that is real life. And sometimes karma catches up with you like a dirty hooker- Greg!

Really good, quick read.
Such a sweet love story. Loved reading about the other couples. A few chapters are repeated in the book. That is my only complaint.

Loved it
This is a true romance series. I fell in love with four stoogies, Mike, West, Nathan, and JD. There were some curve balls, but I loved it overall. I couldn't stop reading.
