Chances Are #3

With her life on the line, can she protect her heart?

When it becomes clear her violent ex has come out of the woodwork, though, time is the one thing they don t have "

way too short

Very rushed and it could have been a little longer. The author has become Queen of the Short story and has lost some her great writing from the past. I guess 100 pages is her limit.

This was a very sweet, and somewhat scary as well, book. Phoebe really did need protection, and she got that, and a lot more from Craig. Very romantic, and nicely written, with some humour injected in the seriousness.

This book was good. I enjoyed it, but it was fairly predictable. Nothing really stood out as particularly complex or exciting. It was a quick read and worth the time, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to my friends. Maybe I missed something by not reading the rest of the series.

This was a little on the darker side compared to the other two books but I still loved it. Definitely an amazing story and I love Craig! Who doesn't love a hot cop protecting you?? Loved this story and a great ending to the series!

Great finish to a great series but I'm sad to see the end. Looking forward to what Shelli comes up with next.

I wanted more from this book. The length wasn't as long as i'd of liked and the ending was a bit abrupt. It was still sexy hot and full of steaminess but I definitely wanted more.

Probably my favorite of the three but still missing something
