Unexpected Chances is a romantic suspense spin off novel from the One Night Series.

I locked my heart and threw away the key, vowing to never let another man in. I even mastered how to keep the happy façade going to avoid the questions and looks from my family and friends.

It all changed with one awkward meeting...

Comes to find out he's not the person I thought he was...

Carter Northwood is followed by lies, threats, and one disaster after another, but can I learn to look past it all?

Review

"This book was such an unexpected pleasure. I started it thinking I would be reading "just another quickie romance," only to be very pleasantly surprised at the depth of characters and the fast pace. Willard really knows how to keep you hanging, and I read all night until I finished. I didn't know whether to be let down or excited about the way the book ended. No spoiler here, but every reader will be left wondering something when they reach the very last page. I'd recommend this book to anyone looking for something more than just the usual beach read." - Linda Thompson, Host of The Authors Show "Host of TheAuthorsShow" "This story is sweet and funny with suspense and intrigue thrown in for good measure. I instantly fell in love with the characters and their ability to love and support each other." - The Book Curmudgeon "A.M Willard has bought together another wonderful read. The characters are wonderful written. Tabitha is someone that will keep her heart out of the equation, she does not want to feel that lost. Carter is just had his life turn upside down and feels like nothing is worth it. Can two people that do not feel that love is for them or their lives, how do they overcome that? You can truly feel the emotions of the characters come off the page. I highly recommend this book" - V. Lee "A.M. Willard so hit the mark with this series! Unexpected Chances (Series 1) is the story of Tabitha and Carter, and their to and fro romance that is just filled with minefields for them." - MLNVY "This is the second book that I have read by A.M. Willard and she is a wonder with words. I absolutely loved this book. It kept me on the edge of my seat not knowing what was going to happen next." Kathleen Burcham "Sexy alpha men and women who can bring them to their knees...." The Twisted Book Curmudgeon .

She's also known for being a wife, mother, and caretaker for her farm animals. A.M. loves anything sassy, glittery, and is a sucker for the Hallmark Channel. That last one might be the reason she believes in soulmates or it could be because she married her high school sweetheart for twenty years ago.

A.M. Willard so hit the mark with this series! Unexpected Chances (Series 1) is the story of Tabitha and Carter, and their to and fro romance that is just filled with minefields for them.

Carter is trapped in a totally loveless marriage, in an arrangement that was made many years ago because his wife Bethany's father is a well-to-do and well connected politician. Carter's father is responsible for this arrangement, and Carter will never forgive his father for sacrificing Carter to further the father's law practice. Bethany is such a nightmare, and a demanding shrew.

Tabitha is trying to take over more duties in her best friend, Angela's company . It wasn't a good start for Tabitha to have fallen asleep in front of the computer screen for a Skype meeting with Carter. Carter was entranced by Tabitha from the moment he saw her asleep in her chair!

Tabitha had been cruelly betrayed by her boyfriend in college, and as a result she had trust issues. She worked with Carter, was intrigued by him, but couldn't trust him. The two go back and forth in their getting to know each other. Carter surprises her with visits, but Tabitha and her brother and friends aren't quite sure what to make of Carter yet.

As time went on Tabitha is trying to let go with Carter and enjoy being with him, and see a future together, but Carter has never told Tabitha that he was married, and his wife is determined to keep Carter on the hook to her father and herself.

Once again Tabitha is crushed, but she is determined to move on and not worry about Carter and his wife or his company.

This was a great read, a real page turner, and well worth reading along with the second of this series too!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cat and Mouse game!!!

There are so many things happening in this book...Tabitha, is content in her job and her group of friends she has. Things get rocked during a conference call...a gorgeous blue eyed man shows up and she can't get her mind off him. She knows she's can't do anything with him since he's a client but that doesn't stop him from coming into her dreams at night. Her world soon gets rocked even more when one her friends confesses his feelings for her. Tabitha has been hurt and has basically shut down her heart. She's focused on work and having fun.
Carter, on the other hand, is intrigued by Tabitha but knows he can't do anything about it. He is caught in a web of lies and deceit. He is trying everything he can to get out of it but it's not working. Things keep going wrong until he finds a way out of it. He also can't deny he has feelings for Tabitha. It's a game of cat and mouse with these two. Once things are coming together, all you know what breaks them up again. Tabitha is hurt yet again...I'm dying to pick up the next one to see how she comes back from this and what happens next for her and Carter

Well well well where do I begin? First off the 4th novel released from such an amazing author! I got a glimpse of Tabby in the One Night Series but NOTHING could have prepared me for the fierce fiery glitzy glitter loving doodle drawing character in UC! The writing flowed so freely from page to page. It wasn't a where is this who is talking type of book! You knew exactly where you were the entire time! I have followed AM Willard from her first novel and look forward to following her through her last! She is such a classy writer! WARNING there are steamy scenes but not how you expect! She doesn't write Tabby as a meet him sleep with him love him change him type of lady! Tabby takes her time with Carter, but will time be enough for these 2 head strong people or will the past be the end for these starry eyed lovers????

There are too many unanswered questions at the end of the book for me to feel like I read a full story. However, I did like this story. It's entertaining and can be an easy, enjoyable read. I am tempted to read the next book in order to get answers.

I love switching points of view, and I liked that this book had that. However, what I didn't like was how we got some of the same scenes back-to-back in each POV. It felt too repetitive to me.

The characters are pretty interesting. Tabitha is 32, but she seems immature for her age. She's single and likes to have fun, who can blame her!? I like her, she's different. The main guy, Carter, is sort of an alpha-male, but he's got his own mess to deal with. He comes off stalker-ish, but he is intriguing. A puzzle to figure out.

I think I could have really loved this book if a few things had been corrected and done differently. I'm hoping that I'll like the next book more, but we will see.

So I fell in love with A. M. Willard's writing from the very first chapter, of the very first book One Night! UC is Tabitha and Carter's story. You meet Tabby Cat in the One Night Series. She is the best friend and business partner of Angela.
Tabitha is a feisty, shoe loving, loyal friend and sister. However we soon learn that she has a painful past that caused her to put a wall of steal around her heart.
Oh Carter! He is my ultimate book boyfriend. Tattoo having, successful business man and motor cycle riding hotty! He's living the life he never wanted. Marrying to better his fathers career. But one look at his Tabby Cat and he knows where his future lies, only problem is Bethany!
This book was magically written. You never get confused on who is talking. The POV of both Tabitha and Carter easily goes back and forth. I can't wait to see how A. M. ends the story of Tabitha and Carter.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing admirable in what I made it through reading
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2015
Shocked personally by all the glowing reviews. It seemed trashy to me from the very beginning. At the end of chapter two when the male lead in the story talks about hurrying up his divorce to his current wife and calls her several rude names I decided I'd have enough, Although I prefer cleaner novels, I generally can overlook some steam if the plot is good. I didn't find the plot to be engaging and I certainly didn't feel any affinity for either character. This book was simply not my cup of tea.

Here you meet Carter a successful business man with a wife no man should ever have Bethany they got married 10 years ago a marriage put together by their families Carter has never loved her but out of a sense of duty stays married.
Then we meet Tabitha 'firecracker' to her brother Seth's friends they are a hilarious bunch of friends true lol moments with them Tabby ends up business partner with her best friend Angela at her company...Angela's story is something else ...
Tabby meets Carter through business and the spark is something else but he has a secret Tabby learns of his secret wife at Angela's wedding to Logan ... Bethany is a piece of work threatens Tabby but what happens I won't ruin it but OMG the cliffhanger is amazing not what you would ever think....and I usually hate cliffhangers usually

4.0 out of 5 stars Totally unexpected.

I thoroughly enjoyed the One Night series, so this is Tabithas story. To start one good thing is that this parallels the other series & it doesn't rehash the other story. While some things are cross over its from Tabithas POV. Also from Carters as well. He sure has some history & doesn't want it to taint Tabitha, while he isn't honest he tells her how it is without the truth.
It's not one of those angsty repetitive stories with a lot of back & forth. Tabitha is guarded & has every right to be. Corey is after her as well. Mention is also made of Angela.
There's a lot going on & it's a bit suspenseful.
If you like the other series you will enjoy this one too.
