Chance of A Lifetime (Anderson Brothers Series Book 3) Kindle Edition

Sometimes the biggest risk is playing it safe.

Gen Richards is tired of living down to her family’s expectation of the helpless blind girl. Resurrecting her high-school bucket list that begins with “kiss a total stranger” seems just the thing until she finds herself in a panty-melting lip lock with her big brother’s best friend.

Chance Anderson thrives on adrenaline, but Genny’s the one risk he’s not willing to take. His recklessness a decade ago landed her in the hospital and ejected him from her life. He’s bad for her and everyone knows it—especially her big brother.

Chance reluctantly helps Gen complete her bucket list in order to keep her out of trouble. Running through a freezing fountain, playing spin the bottle while fending off a mad horde of stinging insects, and skinny dipping with homicidal attack swans don’t hold a candle to the real danger: falling for the one person he can never have.

"From the impressive and smart but also blind heroine, to the man who'd always believed in her abilities, to the circumstances that brought back together to rediscover the friendship and feelings were still there, I flat out loved this book." - Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews (2015 Top Pick)

"What an incredibly gratifying story." - Harlequin Junkie (Top Pick)

I thought the author did an excellent job of bringing to life the challenges a blind person experiences while at the same time showing how overcoming those same challenges gives that person a new sense of self. This was truly a delightful story and one with a lot of heart to go along with the humor." Straight Shootin' Book Reviews
"This was perfection." - Adventures of a Book Junkie

"There are some authors who grab you with the first words of their book and never let you go. Marissa Clarke is one of those authors. Chance and Gen are both fantastic. I could feel their love for each other coming through the pages. There were a couple of times I actually felt tears in my eyes." - Read Your Writes

"...eloquent, intuitive understanding of blindness." - Unstuck Pages

I cannot articulate enough how much I loved this book. Beautifully written. Extremely descriptive. Captivating can't-put-it-down read. It's part of a series and absolutely stands alone. 5+ stars." - Missy at Give Me Books

I thought the author did a great job at portraying the everyday life of what a blind person must be. It wasn't just an accessory to the story but really the key element and everything was built around it." - Alleskelle Blogs But Mostly Reads

                Feasted On: Anderson Brothers Series, Book 3
                4 out of 5 stars. About ten years ago, a stupid mistake landed Gen (Genny/Genevieve) into the hospital and forced her best friend away from her. Now, she seems to finally be moving on with her life and after a surprising accident that led to a co-worker dying, Gen wants to complete the bucket list that she created when she was fifteen. Yet, the same day that she pushes forth with moving on who happens to waltz back into her life? Why her old best friend and crush, Chance, of course! Will she be able to prove to him once-and-for-all what a bad decision he made way-back-when or will he show her that what happened ten years ago isn’t what it actually seemed? Stay tuned!This novel! Oh this novel! I LOVED it but wasn’t a total fan of how it ended. I mean don’t get me wrong I’m not trying to copout on this book review, it just that there is soooo much I’d love to discuss on this novel about the characters but then it would be one spoiler after another. So, the basic facts are that I LOVED its plot, its characters, and almost EVERY scene up until “the weddings.” Yet, by that point, the other character just broke up the amazing flow the novel had going for it. And it made me go from 5 stars to 4 stars ... BUT I STILL LOVE THE CHARACTERS AND WILL RECOMMEND IT TO ANY ROMANCE LOVER!!I read this novel without reading ANY of the other novels within this series. And I was not lost! Plus, Ms. Clarke gave really great background knowledge of Chance’s brothers so you’ll never feel left out in this novel.And Chance, oh my Chance! I think I may be in love. Wow! His intensity and domineering presence made him a force to be reckoned with yet I LOVED how he LOVED Gen!! Their relationship was brilliantly written because though they were apart for so long Chance’s personal redemption felt so real that I wanted to root for them from the start. Especially how they seemed to just fit one another and how he took her issues in complete stride. *happy sigh*Like I stated above, I HIGHLY recommend this novel to those wanting a unique contemporary romance to read!!Review By: From Me to You ...

                Chance of a Lifetime by Marissa Clarke is one of those rare books that takes you through a gamut of emotions while reading it. I laughed, I cried, I hurt, I smiled, and I loved.

                I loved the heroine Gen from the start. She's smart, spunky, and thoroughly compelling to read. More than anything, she wants to prove herself as a fully capable, independent woman, and having Chance Anderson back in her life is a mixed blessing because she loved him once but he hurt her and because he hurt her, she isn't sure she can trust him now. But she needs him, and in her mind, he owes her and she fully intends to collect.

                Well-written and engaging, humorous and sexy, Chance of a Lifetime is my favorite of the three Anderson Brothers books. The character of Gen drew me into the story, but Chance really caught me by the heart. His devotion to Gen was so heartfelt and so all-consuming that I couldn't help but fall in love with the guy. He's one of those amazing contemporary heroes that jumps out at you and screams that there is more to him than you could ever possibly imagine. He's a very rare breed of man, one with a deep well of flaws, insecurities, and a sense of love and loyalty beyond measure. He's every bit the kind of contemporary romance hero I love to read about, and his romance with Gen was absolutely fabulous.

                I have so many favorite moments from this story that I couldn't begin to choose one, but I will say that my absolute favorite part of Gen and Chance's romance takes place near the end of the book and it just melted me, and really cemented Chance as a one-of-a-kind, tried-and-true romance hero with a good, kind heart capable of so much more than even he realizes. Hardcore loved him!

                If you love reunion romances with witty banter, humorous encounters, and heart-tugging emotion, Chance of a Lifetime is an amazing read that will seriously sweep you up and make you smile, and sigh, and laugh, and cry. I loved it!

                This is the second book I have read where the heroine is blind, I completely and fully loved the first one so when this one crossed my path I knew I had to read it. Part of what I love about having a main character be blind, is that the author inherently has to write better, I mean imagine having to describe something but without any of the visuals, its so compelling to me. The other thing that this book had going for it (at least for my preferences as a reader) is that this is a best friends little sister book, and that is my absolute favorite.

                I love forbidden romances, but this book had so much back history in it, that the forbidden element, for me at least, took a backseat to bringing the past into the present. Gen and Chance basically grew up together, Chance and Gen's brother Walter were best friends, but the three of them hung out all the time, so basically Gen's best friend was Chance. She grew up trusting him, and more than that appreciating him for not treating her the way that her family did, like she was somehow less because she was blind. Then one night changed it all and Chance disappeared from her life all together. Ten years later Gen decides its time to really live her life, and it is all going to start with fulfilling her bucket list, first item, kissing a stranger. Only the stranger turns out to be Chance. I was hooked right from this moment.

                I liked Gen a lot, I mean she has a lot to deal with, and most of it has nothing to do with the fact that she's blind, but instead from her family. She has always just found it easier to go along with what her family wants even when they make her feel terrible and basically try to run her life. I mean she's a grown woman who gets hauled away by her brother when he feels like she is doing something inappropriate for her handicap (his words not mind), she's not even allowed to handle her own money. Gen really needs to learn to stand up for what she wants, and this book is really a journey into her finding her voice, I mean she's already figured how how to stand on her own two feet, she just needed to learn to tell people to back the blank off.

                Now as for Chance, well I loved him. He's perfect for Gen. You can tell from the second he shows up that he cares about her and only wants the best for her. Even when they were separated he always checked on her, made sure he was there for the important moments even though she never knew. He did the sweetest things like learn Braille because he wanted to be close to her. So many parts of this book had me saying "awww" because how much ever part of this man's being was devoted to just being a good man for her even though he never in a million years ever intended to actually put himself back her life.

                There are some fantastic scenes in here between Gen and Chance, some really hot moments and some really sweet ones. They both had issues they had to work through, and I loved going through it all with them. This book was a quick read for me but it drew me in from the beginning.

                Gen and Chance were such a great couple. He's one of the only people that treat Gen like a normal person rather than a helpless invalid because she's blind. They fight to overcome their issues and find themselves in some funny situations as Gen works her way through her bucket list she made when she was 15. Definitely worth reading. This is the first book in the series that I've read but now I want to read about the other two brothers after seeing a glimpse of them in this book!
