Worth the Chance CoverMeet Liv Michaels
It may have been seven years, but I’d know him anywhere. Sure, he’s grown, filled out in all the right places, but his captivating blue eyes and cocky grin are exactly the way I remember. Even though I’d much rather forget.

Liv Michaels is almost there. She’s smart, determined and weeks away from landing the job she’s dreamed about for years. Time healed old wounds, even her broken heart from the devastation of being crushed by her first love.

Meet Vince Stone
Women love a fighter, especially a good one. Lucky for me, I’m damn good. But there’s one woman that isn’t interested. Not again, anyway.

Vince ‘The Invincible’ Stone is every woman’s fantasy…strong, sexy, confident and completely in control. Growing up surrounded by chaos, he’s learned never to get too attached. Love will drag you down. He adores women, treats them well, puts their own needs before his own…for the night anyway. With the biggest fight of his life coming up, his focus should be on training.

When fate brings Vince & Liv back together again, there’s no denying the chemistry is still there. But can Vince erase the old scars their past left behind? Or will Liv hurt him instead?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

I really enjoyed this one.  One, because we got to see little Vinny (the young teenager Nico was trying to save in Worth the Fight) all grown up.  And two, because Vinny was hard not to love…controlling, dominating fighter with his issues and all.

Liv and Vinny have history.  Seven years ago, in high school, she was the brainiac girl who tutored Vinny in English.  He always seemed to have a girl on his arm, but soon his attention turned to her.  Liv loved Vinny’s attention and thought they had something, but he walked away and broke her heart.  So imagine her surprise when she discovers her assignment from the newspaper she’s interning at is to interview a hot MMA star…Vince.  They do a good job of reconnecting, but then Vince’s past plays it hand and causes the two of them to fight for  their relationship.

I loved Liv.  There was just something about the bookworm, wallflower type getting the hot, alpha male everyone else wants that made me happy.  She struggled with her feelings for Vinny, because she was so afraid she was going to get her heart broken again, but she threw caution to the wind because being with Vinny made her happy.  And then you felt badly for her when she was put in the ugly position to write the story about the Senator that was going to hurt Vinny so badly.  Her emotions, her turmoil leapt off the pages at you and made you want to put your arms around her and tell her it’s going to to be ok.

Vinny was everything you’d want a hot, sexy, MMA fighting alpha male to be.  He was dominant and could urke the hell out of you, but he had a sweet, protective side that made you want to be the one Vinny stood on guard for.  But Vinny had his own set of issues.  His drug addict mother continues to cause his life to be one step away from disaster, even when he’s trying to keep himself on the straight and narrow.  You feel for him and understand why he can’t walk away from the only parent he’s ever known, but there comes a point when you want him to do just that and think about himself and what he needs.

Vi Keeland is fast becoming one of those authors on my auto-buy list.  She creates these wonderful characters that are so easy to connect with…even with all their issues.  Couple that with engaging storylines and you find it very hard to put your e-reader down.  If you haven’t read one of her books before, definitely pick up WORTH THE CHANCE.  It’s worth your time to take a look.
