She was the light to my darkness and everything I craved. We didn’t fit. But I wanted her all the same. I pursued her relentlessly until she was mine. And I was never giving her up. Then she learnt things she was never meant to know. Now she sees me differently and keeps pushing me away. But I’ll fight for what I want. And what I want, is her.

JB Heller is an average Aussie housewife and Mumma in her early 30's. She lives on a mini farm with her family and a few cows, sheep, a parrot, cats, fish, dogs, and a butt load of chickens. It's JB's dream to one day add a llama to the mix and an alpaca or two.
She writes across several genre's including RomCom, Romantic Suspense and Contemporary. You can always expect a healthy dose of heat, intrigue and wit in her stories.
Monday to Friday you can find JB glued to her laptop weaving words or trolling Pinterest for her next potential muse. Come the weekend, it's family time. (And of course lots of reading and Netflix binges.)
The best seduction technique I have at my disposal is my extreme awkwardness. Who needs flirty when you’ve got awkward, right?
It’s hilarious. Mr. Perfect wants Ms. Awkward. It’s comedy gold. I mean, seriously, how is that going to work? Are you even capable of carrying on a conversation with a hot guy without divulging something horrifically embarrassing, or rambling about weird facts that only you care about?
So what, you’re getting into matchmaking now? Running the paper doesn’t tickle your pickle anymore so you thought you’d dip your toes in Cupid’s pool?
‘Mumma, Papa, this is Carter,’ she says, while gesturing over her shoulder with her thumb to me, ‘He’s my super hot boyfriend with a spectacular arse.’ I choke on the air I’m breathing, coughing and trying not to laugh. Then I hear a voice similar to Chance’s, but older, more sophisticated, say, ‘Well, turn around then, show us the goods.’
My Review:
Moments of Clarity was populated by unique and quirky characters, ah, my favorite kind. I enjoyed their amusing descriptions, interplay, steamy chemistry, odd fashion sense, and witty banter. Then the family secrets blew open and damn if it wasn’t angst by the bucket – a fest of misery and emotional tension, which is just not my favorite cup of tea. I cringed, winced, flinched, sighed but stayed the course, as I trusted the author to circle back around and make it worth the agony. And, thankfully, she did.
Chance and Carter are opposites, one is a football star and the other is a unique photography student. Chance has embraced her quirkiness and Carter finds that she's exactly what he needs to break the mold and be is own person. Together they find happiness, but the happiness is new, undeveloped, like it requires more time to process in the dark room. When events happen in both of their lives that change everything they know they both seek clarity. That clarity may drive them apart or make them stronger.
Popular jock meets cute nerd and it's happily ever after, except sometimes it isn't. Moments of Clarity is similar in story line to many New Adult novels, but J.B. Heller writes in such a way that you connect for the characters and really feel for their plight. Chance, though a standout when it comes to her fashion sense, has very little experience in the real world and Carter has almost too much of it. The attraction they feel for one another becomes something more as they spend time together. J.B. Heller puts her characters through the wringer, but that's what ultimately makes them stronger. Their character growth comes from the events they experience and the friendships that help them through it.
Moments of Clarity has a lot of promise to it, as a series it has quirky characters, cliche but fun story lines, and dialogue that makes you laugh. It does read a bit younger than I expected it to and the story line feels disjointed in some areas, but flows well in others. The ultimate deciding factor in my rating is how the story actually made me feel. I teared up and I smiled, that is what is most important to me. If an author can make me feel, then the grammar and the flow doesn't matter as much. Moments of Clarity is sweet, funny, and a cute standalone from J.B. Heller.
Moments of Clarity was such an amazing book by (new to me author) JB heller. It had such a classic NA feel that it swept me of my feet. It was sexy, had great banter, a HOT alpha male and a sassy heroine that gave as good as she got. This was a fantastic read.
When Carter, Mr. Perfect college football captain, wanted something or someone he made sure to get it. That is exactly what happened when he sets eyes on Chance Haynes and decides to just go for it after noticing her for a few months. They had chemistry in spades and were so cute together! I could not get enough! What was most fantastic about the story was how different these two really were. Carter is Mr. Social and all around Mr. Perfect whereas as Chance is socially awkward, quirky and weird - all qualities she embraces and strives to be. But when Carter sees her..he sees a beautiful, strong, confident woman who he feels something special for. But what happens when secrets from Chance's past come out which affect the way she views Carter?
While I did feel like their connection was somewhat rushed, I enjoyed the novel and the myriad of secrets that came out and the resulting repurcussions. I can't wait for the next one! Bravo 4 stars! ~Ratula
"Photography, to me, is like being given the opportunity to see the world with a whole new perspective. Like when you have a problem and you ask a friend for the opinion, because sometimes you need an outside view to get a batter handle on the situation. I want to show other how I see life through my lens."
This probably wasn't the right quote to start with, but to me, it just sets the tone for the story as a whole. Chance Haynes sees life unlike many other people and she reflects that in her photographs. She's an odd bird, to say the least, but she's unique and original. She makes no apologies for her style, her wit, or her candid personality. That makes her relatable and real.
"Just give in already, Chance. I'm not backing down. I will have all of you and I know you'll like it. Because you like me." His fingertips glide up and down my spine, lightly tickling, "Well, you like my touch at least. And that's enough for now. You'll get to know me, and you'll like me." "How can you be so sure?" I ask. Onne side of his mouth lifts in a barely there smile, and he shrugs, "I've never been so sure of anything as I am of this. Of us. Our differences are what will me this work."
Carter Cross is the other half of this story and let me just say...wow. I'm pretty sure I fell in love with him from the very beginning. Like Chance, he makes no apologies for who he is and while he seems to fit the mold of what his family and peers expect, he's so much more. Deep. Kind. Fiercely protective.
But he's angry. And until Chance gives him a chance, he doesn't realize how much he needs her in his life. She's his balance. His calm.
When they get together, there is nothing short of fireworks. It's magical.
"Girl, I'm falling so hard, so fast I don't know what to do with all these feelings you're stirring in me."
Aside from the feeling they are in high school at the beginning (they are actually in University, it just doesn't seem clear until later), this is a great coming-of-age type story. I enjoyed the character development, the dialog, the conflicts. I had a hard time with the slight feeling of co-dependence between the hero and heroine but it seemed to work for the plotline. I look forward to more from this series, these characters are relatable and current. Their personalities are complex, just as they should be on that journey to self-discovery. Heller is a wonderful storyteller and her accent shines through the pages, making it endearing and entertaining to read.
I enjoyed this story so much. I love reading about nerdy/plain girl next door type of girls meeting their one and finding happiness.
This was one of those books. Chance is a strong determined women who knows what she wants. And Carter might look like your typical jock but definitely not. Hot, Sexy and sweet to boot.
This book will have you LOL in some parts and then have you #sigh and then it will give you all the drama and angst that you want. Because what is a good romance story without all the drama and angst
I dunno about this h. Chance came out swinging. She was a strong, quirky, likable young woman. But then she shifted into something quite weak. Some might say it was vulnerability but she just lost her oomph and consequently all my interest.
And Carter's characterization was trying too hard to make him dark and then his character also took a big turn and went a different direction. Overall I thought it was a pretty basic story though. It's instalust/instalove if that's your thing and there's that little bit of conflict with it. The pace was quick and it was easy to stick with.
Oh, this emotional story was so amazing to read! I’ll admit, it took me a while to get to, because I’ve got to be in the right place for emotional stories. This one was no where near as angsty as I expected, though still very emotional. I loved every moment of it! The characters were easy to love, the storyline was interesting, and the whole thing had me completely engrossed, reading the story in one sitting!
Chance is an unusual girl with her own style. She loves photography and when she is given a new assignment it changes her whole world. She has to get pictures of Carter one of the Football players.
Carter plays football but it’s not his true passion. He loves to fight MMA, it gives him an outlet to deal with stress and anger issues.
I have to say that when Chance goes through with a dare her nephew threw at her, it was classic and I was LOL. But boy she was sure a lucky girl. Let’s just say she got to see a lot more of Carter than she anticipated. And that boy really turned up the heat and let her know just how attracted he was to her.
I don’t like wasting my time on things that aren’t worth it. But you, you’re worth it, Chance.
Mr. Perfect wants Ms. Awkward. It’s comedy gold.
Chance has a very hard time believing that Carter is being for real with her. Why would a jock want anything to do with her? She’s not a cheerleader. Carter wants Chance and is determined to prove it to her. He convinces her to give him a chance.
These two grow into so much more. There are a few twists and surprises that threatened a HEA but thankfully they work through things. Carter was a very dominant man and at some times really scary as well. The secondary characters were great, I loved Carter’s sister Bella, who had Down Syndrome. What Chance did for her was so beautiful and really showed just how big her heart was. Once you get started you will not stop until your done. I read this book in one setting. And I wouldn’t mind seeing more from these two. Thank you J.B. Heller for a great read. I look forward to reading Mase, Scout and Kassidy’s story next.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book. Reviewed by MAustin from Alpha Book Club
I loved this book and the characters! I love when a book surprises me, and this one definitely surprised me. I was expecting one thing, and I got something much, much better! It was a book filled with love, forgiveness, and acceptance!
Chance is quirky, and she definitely owns it! I loved her! Heller made her personality completely jump off the pages. Carter is completely opposite of her. He’s the popular football player who can have any woman he wants. However, there was so much more to him. Underneath that sexy, aggressive demeanor was a guy with a heart of gold that many didn’t get to see.
Chance and Carter are complete opposites, even down to their families. He is the king of seduction, and she is the queen of awkwardness and quirkiness. He likes sex. He doesn’t call, text, and definitely doesn’t do relationships. Chance doesn’t operate that way. He comes from a family who doesn’t care, and she comes from a family that adores her! Together they work! He knows there is something special about her, and he wants to be in a relationship with her, and she wants one with him. Yet, they aren’t sure how to do it!
The chemistry between the two are intense and sexy! As they really start to fall for one another, I fell for them too! However, they won’t have an easy road ahead of them. Carter has an intenseness and darkness inside. Even though it comes from a place of love and pain, Chance has a hard time accepting that part of him. Things don’t get easier when one night changes everything she thought she knew about her family. A secret comes to the surface that will rock her world. Will she be able to accept Carter for all the parts that make him the person he is?
This was a great book from start to finish. My favorite part…the epilogue. It really sums up what this book is about, acceptance and love! It made me love Carter even more! JB Heller is another new writer for me, and I can’t wait to read all of her other books!
***Read and Reviewed for Devilishly Delicious Book Reviews***
I struggled with this trend when Ms Heller writes books set in America. So many inaccuracies that could have been handled with a little research!
Let's start with the subtitle: 1) this isn't a jock - nerd story, it's a jock - geek story. Chance is all sorts of geek but never is she billed as an antisocial intellectual. 2) this does not follow the second chance romance trope. Sure, second chances are involved, but more in the standard way most romances are resolved after the 80% black time that is one of the most common formats for romances.
Now let's talk about football: all American college football occurs in the fall, with bowl games in the winter. There is never a time that games are playing during the last days of a school year. The NFL combine and draft process is in the spring. If he was drafted, he would have known by the time most of this book takes place. The whole volunteering to be benched thing makes no sense depending on his draft situation. He's basically telling his dad then that he's not interested in the NFL... And speaking of that, did his parental situation even get resolved? If so, it was blown by too quickly.
The bet was never really explained and it should have been.
They have start to have sex without a condom and then he has plenty if opportunities to put one on when they switch positions to avoid having to pull out but he doesn't.
Plus I'm sure there were other discordant things I'm not remembering right now.
I just think she should stick to writing about what she knows, or should at least do something resembling research.
I was given this book for an honest and unbiased review.
***** 5 BRILLIANT STARS
Chance Haynes is not your average girl, on the cusp of graduating and moving onto adulthood. She's anything but cookie cutter, cheerleader perfection, she is a nerd and is proud of it. She sweet and caring of her family and friends but she's definitely got some sass about her.
Her best friend is Kassidy but they're more than friends, Kass is also Chance's nephew. Her very much older brothers Huxley's son. Chance's passion is through the viewfinder of a camera and her newest project just happens to be to photograph the all star footballer, Carter Cross.
Carter has made himself the star footballer through hard work and determination but it's not his passion, merely that of his fathers expectation. Carters passion is a little more brutal but when he's suddenly and nakedly accosted by the nerdy sweet Chance, he's totally lost to her. Yep! He's giving up his manwhore ways to take a chance on Chance.
Such a beautifully written and structured story, touching in done very real and emotional topics but JB Heller has completely won me over with this story. I'll definitely be reading more. This is actually the second book in the series and I hadn't read the first, having no difficulty relating to the characters, though the first book is about Chance's Brother Huxley, I'll now go and read it.
Great characters, a beautifully structured story and such passionate emotions, this book had it all.

Wow.... This book has so much depth. It was a little hard for me in the beginning. Once you over look a lot of high school drama you see the depth that takes place.
Chance and Carter have a lot of intense hot sexual chemistry for high school students. This is what was turning me off the book but let's be real high school students do often engage in sexual acts. The love they have for each other as well as the family that surrounds them is amazing.
Chance is her own person who will not let another define her. She doesn't let mean girls bully her and she quite frankly doesn't care what other people think of her. She is blindsided by a friend who happens to see how exactly perfect her and Carter are for each other. In reality though Cole just gave them a little shove in the right direction.
Carter is your typical high school jock. Being forced to play football by that father that can no longer play. Using any girl he can get his rocks off with to take out his frustration and sexual desire until that one special girl knocks his socks off. The love he has for his sister is so over protective that he will shelter her from everything including his own parents. Carter is a multi complex person.
The element of this book changed entirely in one night. The love they felt for each other intensified as well as how they saw the world around them. This just so happens to lead us right up to that Moment of Clarity.
Give this book a chance you will definitely not regret it.
I am so in love with this book. This a story aboutChance Haynes & Carter Cross. Chance is a quirky aspiring professional photographer who lives life by her own beat and doesn't conform to what others see as "normal." Carter is a college football star who wants more out of life. They seem like total opposites. But they are the best match. At first the reader doesn't really understand Carter's want and need to make Chance his girl. He is a player and the girls he is usually with are the opposite of her. But as the story goes along you realize how perfect they are for each other. And they are the perfect match to help each other see that what others want of them doesn't matter. It's what they want out of life. And they need each other. Especially when life throws curve balls no one expects. I am not going to give away too much detail. This book has so many surprises and moments that will make the reader hooked. I loved Chance from the start. She is an awesome character. The author did an amazing job on making her someone the reader wants to support and even be a little like. And at first I wanted to see Carter as a typical player but there is so much more to him and I found myself loving him as well. I highly suggest this book for readers who love a strong story. This book will show true love, the importance of following your dreams and how important those who support us are in our lives.
This is book two in the Broken Boys Series and oh my! What a book! 😍 This is the story of Chance Hanley and Carter Cross. They’re on their senior year in college and couldn’t be more opposite to each other. He’s the star quarterback and she’s a quirky photographer. If you read the first book (Broken Boys Break Hearts), she’s Hux’ little sister. She gets an assignment for the newspaper, she has to take a picture of Carter… she cannot wrap her head around the fact, she’s never shown interest for sports photography but she agrees since it’s for the school newspaper. Well, she barges in the locker room to a full view of 🍑 and 🍆 her reaction is hilarious! She finally finds Carter and he’s taking a shower, his 🍑 in full display 😅 Chance is unable to look anywhere but there and Carter loves it! So much so that he approaches her and tells her he has a thing for her, who knew! Despite her efforts, her knees become week to his nearness and oh my! Sparks fly! Carter doesn’t do anything half way, this guy is all in from the get go. Which is something I love! Carter is reliable but Chance is fierce and the way she just says what’s on her mind? So refreshing! They have lots of battles in front of them to get to a HEA but that’s what makes this book so worth it. I cannot love their love more, it’s real abs intense and makes you aware of what’s really important in life. Cannot recommend this book enough! ❤️🔥
** Provided on behalf of the author for an honest review ** ** Review by Gayle from Bloggers From Down Under **
Instant love…… This is what Moments Of Clarity was for me. I couldn’t put it down. It totally consumed me. I was completely spell bound from beginning to end. Just brilliant.
We meet Chance and Carter. Chance is quirky, nerdy, sassy, all things awkward and very unique. Carter is a football star, self assured, confident and all things delicious.
Two complete opposites.
And their worlds are about to collide.
They have chemistry. They have spark. Together they are explosive.
But what happens when situations change? What happens when choices are made? Will Chance be able to support Carter? Can Carter give what Chance needs? Will they survive the reality of their worlds and the changes in them? Or will it destroy them both?
Guys this novel is nothing short of sheer brilliance. It’s raw, gritty, highly emotional, witty and breathtakingly beautiful. It was instant love for both of these characters. Chance and her quirkiness. Carter and his cheeky “I take what I want” attitude. And lets not forget Mase, Bells, Scout, Kass and Hux. Guys you will fall hard for them all, just like I did.
Moments of Clarity is book 2 in the Moments Series, but it can be read as a standalone. I enjoyed Chance and Carter’s story, it was a quick and sweet romance and wasn’t overly angsty- just what I was in the mood for!
I really liked the main characters and although they appeared very different, they fit very well together. Chance is a strong, funny and quirky girl who keeps to herself and doesn’t run with the typical crowds at school. Carter is a sexy and popular jock, but he has a secret passion to do something different. Something other than what his father wants for him. Once the main characters are together, their relationship quickly grows and changes, and they begin to open up and share with one another what is most important to them.
I did have some trouble with guessing how old the characters were. I think that they are in their early 20’s, close to graduating from college. But they each live at home with their parents and sometimes they come across as being high-school age. So, then I thought, wait, are they graduating from high-school? It wasn’t perfectly clear to me. Either way, I still enjoyed the story, the characters and the romance.
Moments of Clarity was an enjoyable read, one that I would recommend. I look forward to reading about more of the secondary characters when book 3 is released!
Quirky awkward nerd Chance meets jock fighter Carter. He’s popular and a manwhore. She is awkward and geeky, sent to photograph him for the school paper.
This was a sweet tale. Carter was definitely hot and the chemistry was good. I loved the initial locker room scene. Great! And I love the cover. I want to look like that!
I would have liked a bit more push/pull before they got together. Chance caves in pretty easily. I mean we can all see why; Carter was hot. That definitely came across and the heat rating was pretty high.
But at 70% the angstometer started ringing. I was sort of dreading it. I wanted to skip through it but I didn’t. It just put the story on a downer. But it was pretty quickly resolved and engaged me.
Why only three stars?
It was a good read but the angst bit felt a bit added on at the end. It was a bit too sad for my liking. I prefer a lighter, more funny set of events where possible. I wanted more banter really.
I also felt the ending was a bit serious for a young couple. It was definitely sweet and had a great message but a bit full on for their age. I have no problems with HFN endings in NA reads.
Every time JB hits me with her ARC I'm surprised and super impressed. With Moments of Clarity was no different, I loved everything she created with this story.
We have a love story between the all star jock and the quirky artsy girl, no one would say they could even get along with each other since they have such a different perspective of life.
But then their game changed, what started as a task, it ended up with something so raw, deep, vast and amazing it would blow your mind. Secrets are spilled, the truth is unveiled and our heroin finds solace in the arms of the guy she never thought would be with her. His darkest side comes out to play and everything takes a turn.
For better? Worse?? I'll let you be the judge!
Moments of Clarity is such an amazing read, JB thank you for letting me read it, I'm so proud of you! Keep going and don't stop girl! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Chance is a little nerdy and awkward but she knows who she is and is doesn’t want to be any different. Photography is her first love as everything is so much clearer through a lens.
Carter is the star of the college football team and is a player on and off the field. He is trying to fulfill the dreams of his family rather than his own.
These two appear to be complete opposites as he is Mr. Popular and she is Miss Awkward but he knows that there is something about her that he needs and she realizes that there is much more to him than the image he portrays to the public. When a secret about Chance’s family is revealed and it changes her perception of everyone around her will she be able to accept the imperfections of others?
The connection between the two was deep and their chemistry intense. This is a wonderful story about accepting that the ones you love are not perfect. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
Heart-wrenching in so many ways. Totally not what I was expecting when I read the blurb on this book. It was great. I liked both the main characters and felt that they helped one another put the world in focus. Chance is quite a strong individual and I love the character because she doesn't let anyone else dictate who she will be. Carter is the football star every boy wishes they could be, but he doesn't even want that life. I found great admiration for him when he told the coach to bench him, but still went to the games to support the other players. I was interested in his MMA career and how the intensity of the fighting had helped him. I adored the going back to school decision. It was perfect for the situation and individuals involved. I liked how Bella wasn't hidden in the shadows by Carter. He loved her and was a fighter for her and others with challenges. The ending was perfect. Sigh.
Dnf at like 25%. It was just too much and too soon for me. Chance went into locker room to ask carter if she. An photograph him and then all of a sudden he’s kissing on her neck telling her he wants to sleep with her. She just lets it sort of happen and then pushes away saying she won’t sleep with him. Then you find out he’s been sort of watching her for awhile now and wants to make a move. Says she can have time but is so inpatient he made a decision for her the next day. He’s very handsy and alpha like. And I can take that, I do like that in male characters too but there wasn’t much depth for me right from the start. It kind of felt like the characters were moving in 2x speed but In very little pages. So I didn’t buy into their love story or characters, as of yet.
I wouldn’t be surprised if later on the author unravels their beginning but it just wasn’t for me at this time in this mood. L
I was excited when I realized that this was Hux's little sister's story but this one missed the mark for me. I didn't feel like I got to know either Chance or Carter. IMO there wasn't much development of the characters or their relationship. Chance is assigned to take photo's of the captain of the football team so she marches into the locker room like she owns the place and is shocked that Carter is naked. But if that wasn't odd enough next thing I know Carter is kissing Chance and saying he has been dying to be with her and can't wait to pound town. Like huh? I legit thought I missed a few pages when I read this. It just seemed awkward and didn't add up. And I felt like it was never fully explained. And then there was a bet between Chance's boss and Carter's best friend about Chance and Carter? That was never explained so not sure why it was even mentioned. This one was just awkward and a bit underdeveloped for me.
After reading Huxley's story I knew I would have to read his sister Chance's story as well. I really enjoyed it. It was sweet and relatively low angst. I loved the connection between Chance and Carter. You could really feel his feelings for her and his dedication to making her his everything. I didn't always get the feeling that they were in college, especially just about to graduate. Sometimes it read like they were in high school. It wasn't enough to keep me from enjoying the story though. I just had to remind myself they were older. I loved Bella's character and thought she brought a deeper level to the story. I do wish it had been a little longer with a little more background on everyone because it did feel rushed in a couple spots. Overall I loved getting to know Chance and Carter and going on this journey with them. I really like J.B. Heller's style and story ideas so I look forward to reading more from her in the future!
I really enjoyed reading this! The whole popular guy/nerdy girl trope fills the NA genre but the storyline and characters gave this it's own unique spin. I totally love Chance. She is so damn funny! Some the stuff that came out of her mouth. I'm still laughing about at the meet-the-parents scene. Oh, and let's not forget the "tickle your pickle" comment. There's more where that came from but I'm stopping now because I'm giving away too much already. Carter had me falling in love with right along side Chance. The most surprising thing with him was that he is so mutli-faceted. His character has depth to him that gives him a leg up on other guys in this genre. When things took a serious turn, I wasn't expecting that punch-in-the-gut feeling I experienced. I didn't read book one but after reading this, I will be delving into right after I finish this review.
This was a great story filled with laughter, tears, and forgiveness. Chance is all grown up and you would know her if you read the first moments book with her brother Huxley. She is graduating from college and starting work with her brother when she meets Carter. Carter is the big-time football player on campus and the player with the girls. Chance is awkwardly cute and Carter thinks she is the most attractive girl. He is tired of keeping his distance so he starts the chase of getting what he wants. They both go through so much during this story that they have the fight of their lives if they can get through those trials. It is a great story that is fast paced and I loved that it didn’t drag on. I loved to see what Huxley is doing and that we got to see who Chance is and how she has grown up.
I loved the story of Chance's big brother, Huxley, so to get to know Chance and how different her life was in comparison to the horrible upbringing that Hux endured from the same father, was an eye opener.
So many beautiful moments in this story, and on my gawd, Carter was amazing from start to finish.
My only negative was that I thought the ending was too rushed, missing important key pieces, and left me thinking it was unrealistic.
Won't explain, you'll see what I mean when you get there.
The story of Chance and Carter was captivating and completely addicting. I absolutely fell in love with these two characters, they both stayed true to each other and themselves throughout the story. Love is powerful, embrace it.
This was an emotional page turner that sucked me in from the very start and made me continue to want more, including right now: I still want more! I am quite anxious for the next story, Picture Perfect- coming January 2022…… patience is a virtue, please let me be patient 😊
Chance a young girl that is so much like her brother he tried to remain invisible but she was quirky, funny, smart, caring and had a wicked dress sense. she wasn't like everyone else she loved to be herself and dress the way she wanted not caring what others thought.
Chance crashed into carters world, he was there for her when he world crashed but can she be there for him?
A beautiful love story that's jammed packed Thanks for a great read JB
When I saw that J. B. Heller had written a sequel to Moments of Beauty, I immediately bought this book simply because I loved the first book so much. I reread Moments of Beauty before I dived into Moments of Clarity and this amazing author did not disappoint me. The only disappointment came when I reached the end. Once more J. B. Heller took me on a journey that not only entertained me, but touched my heart.
