A Fighting Chance - Running Into Love Book Four

Max “Slick” Jones has never led an easy life. He’s rough, hardened and tatted on the outside and never once thought that he deserved to be loved. Despite his upbringing, he’s dedicated his life to helping others. When his old friend Asher Wellington calls upon his services, he drops everything knowing he has a lifetime of debt to fulfill to this family. But, what he didn’t expect was to meet Chloe.

Chloe Peters grew up in a privileged, picture perfect life with amazing parents and her twin brother, Kyle. She and Kyle were living out their lifelong dream until one second, one moment in time changed everything and sent her into a tailspin she thought she could never recover from.

Will the exchange of deep dark pain in the eyes of two hardened souls open the door to a happily ever after?

Can Max show Chloe that there can be life after tragedy? Can Chloe Show Max that he is worthy of love?

Sometimes the hardest person to forgive, is yourself.

A Fighting Chance is the 4th novel in the Running Into Love Series by Annalisa Nicole. This book was only supposed to be a novella about Max and Chloe, I have to say I am so glad that this turned into a full length novel. Max and Chloe's story had so much to tell that it wouldn't have been done justice in novella form. I have read all the books in this series so far and I have to say that each book just reminds me why I love reading Annalisa's books. Her books are always filled with such heart and emotion. I also love that she starts the book in the thick of the story, without adding a bunch of background stuff that doesn't need to be told. Her books are fairly quick reads and are mild on the drama side. She knows how to create a love story that just grabs at your heartstrings and doesn't let go. She also knows how to create characters that you just want to love and be a part of their world.
I have to say this book was probably the most emotional one for me. This book takes a look at the dark side of depression and what can happen to a person who lets their demons over take their lives. Max and Chloe definitely didn't have an easy road to their HEA, they incurred many ups and downs, but in the end they realized what they really needed was each other and the love and support they both gave.
"Out of the darkness comes beauty and love. Never forget the road that you've traveled, because if chosen differently, you wouldn't be where you are today"...Max
We met Max and Chloe for the first time in Book 2 (I'll Take A Chance, Kyle and Amelia's story). We also saw them some in Book 3 (Second Chance, Adrian and Shay's story). I knew these two characters were going to have an interesting story to tell. We truly got to the heart of these characters in this book. There is so much I want to say about Max and Chloe and their road to happiness, but it would ruin the story, so I am just going to say, please read this book, you need to experience the love that Chloe and Max feel for each other.
As always we got to see the whole Wellington clan and all the extras to the family. It's great to keep up with all the past couples and the new characters that we have yet to learn about. We got to meet a new character in this book...Savvy. She ended up befriending Chloe and turned out to be a great friend to her and Chloe a great friend to Savvy when she needed one. I wouldn't mind seeing Savvy linked with Aiden someday down the road. This book really just let the reader know just how strong this family's love and bond is...They have some serious obstacles to overcome in this book.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for that love story that isn't full of the outside drama and angst we see these days. Each of these books can be read as a standalone, but to really appreciate all the characters, I would suggest reading them in order.

Annalisa Nicole is a fairy godmother to me when it comes to romance. It's like she has some sort of magic want that whisks me away to a place of sweet romantic feelings and intense emotions of love, happiness and seduction...
I adore this author and count myself lucky to have someone I can pick up her stories and at any time be carried away in what makes romance to me the best sort of escape. Love, family and loyalty with heroes that protect, honor and cherish. Feel good romance at it's finest is the true gift of Annalisa Nicole.

Wow!! Each book keeps getting better and better!!!

This book is so emotional. I don't know how I got through certain parts!! My eyes were so filled with tears at times I couldn't see the words. I COULD NOT put this book down!! I got lost in the lives of Chloe and Max. Annalisa has a way of writing that pulls you in among the characters. You feel their emotions whole heartedly...

I can't wait to read the next book.

WOW! That's really the best way to describe this book! It's awesome! I loved every minute of reading it! This book will take you through just about every emotion! I was sad, angry, amused, and a little hot and bothered while reading this! I would laugh, cry and get strange looks from my husband. But the book was totally worth all of it! This is definitely Ms. Nichole's best book yet!
