Her Christmas Chance by Rachelle Ayala

5.0

I read Her Christmas Chance as part of the box set, Christmas Pets and Kisses 2. It actually only took me a day to finish the story. I have been reading the box set all month.
I loved this story! Rachelle Ayala is a powerful writer. This is one of several of her books I have read with a character who has special needs. She writes these characters as strong, capable people who just do things differently. She keeps it real though. They have moments of weakness and family who don't always know what is best, (though they think they do). I absolutely love that about her writing.
Her Christmas Chance tells us the romance between Chance and Bella. Chance is a "bad boy" with a past who has been trying to change his image and turn his life around. Bella, a woman with cerebral palsy, is his sister in law. She is also changing her life, living in a home next door to him. This is her first time living on her own, even if her sister lives next door and doesn't truly believe Bella can do it. Both Chance and Bella have obstacles to overcome, one major obstacle being both their families. Bella also has a cat who has taken a particular dislike of Chance and his work.
This was a fun story to read. I was totally engrossed in it, reading it non stop. I read for fun and often dive into unrealistic realms. This story kept it real in my opinion but was still highly entertaining.
Her Christmas Chance is a part of the Christmas Creek series. I have not read the other books in the series. Though it does make mention of another romance, (Bella's sister and Chance's brother), I was able to fully follow and enjoy the story. If you are looking for a romance that is a bit different and tells a powerful story, grab this one!
