Take a Chance on This


Chance and Delaney have been the best of friends forever.  These two know everything, and i mean Everything, about the other.  It's obvious that the only thing missing is a wedding ring!

Well, obvious to everyone but them! This is a fast pace and fascinating novella featuring the Atlanta Rising Team.  Definitely a chance worth taking!

If you’ve met the ARFC then you have met Chance and have gotten little bits and pieces of him. If you’ve then this is a great introduction to Chance and the rest of the team.

Delaney and Chance have been best friends since they were kids. Chance would do anything for her, including pretending to be her fiancé. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE these two. I love their friendship and how natural it is, but also seeing everything progress. They are perfect for each other.

I loved getting more of the previous couples and hints of what is to come and I am dying for more. I can’t wait to return to Atlanta for more of this group!

If you’re looking for a friends to lovers, fake relationship, sports romance this is one to check out.

After breaking up with a guy whose attentions had started to seem more like stalking, Delaney Stewart was in desperate need of an escape from her life in Chicago. Unfortunately, her accounting firm would only approve a transfer for a major life event, so Delaney lies and says that she's engaged to Chance Walker, her best friend of twenty years, and needs to move to Atlanta to be with him. Professional soccer player Chance has secretly been in love with Delaney for years, so when she shows up on his doorstep and asks him to go along with the fake engagement, he seizes the opportunity to show her how good they are together. Will Delaney give into her feelings for Chance or let her fear of ruining their friendship get in the way?

Chance and Delaney were super cute together. I loved their chemistry as well as the way they prioritized each other's happiness. For example, Chance watched Delaney's favorite chick flicks with her when she had a bad day, and even though she wasn't into sports, she made an effort to learn the rules of soccer because the game was so important to him. They really were perfect for each other and I loved cheering them on to their HEA.

Overall, I very much enjoyed this quick, sweet, and steamy read. I recommend "Assist" for all fans of contemporary/sports romance and can't wait for the next book in the series.

This was such a fun, quick, steamy read! Chance and Delaney are so good together, that I wish we’d gotten a longer novel with them. It’s always a good time being back with the Atlanta Rising, and Assist is another great story to the series!

Steam: 3.5/5 (couple steamy open door scenes)
