Take a Chance on Me: A friends to lovers sports romance Kindle Edition

Kate Zell and Brody Carlson have been best friends since elementary school. Their relationship had always been easy. Both of them loyal to a fault, they had been there for each other through everything: heartbreaks, hangovers, and tragedy. So when Kate needs a place to stay for three months, Brody doesn’t think twice about agreeing. After all, they had known each other forever. What could go wrong living with his closest and oldest friend?

Apparently, everything. Three months in a small apartment becomes more than complicated. Brody shouldn’t be attracted to his dorky best friend…he most definitely shouldn’t. That would be absurd. She’s a relationship girl and he’s more a one-night-sans-clothes kind of guy.

One drunken dare of strip poker changes everything. Suddenly, two people with too much to lose play a dangerous game. The unapologetic playboy and the girl-next-door have a choice to make, if only their pasts didn’t keep getting in the way of their future.

    Take a Chance on Me was a fun best friends to lovers romance. Brody and Kate had a great dynamic as friends and I loved when they started realizing they were attracted to each other. I did cringe a bit at Brody's previous ladies man ways, but I have to give him credit for going all in with Kate. I loved how focused he was on her and making sure they were good. I might have given this book a higher rating if I had read it prior to Snowe's current releases. I can see how her writing has improved with each book. That's a great thing! Not that this was poorly written. It wasn't. It was great. The new ones are just somehow even better.

    One thing I would caution readers is that there is talk about a sibling's suicide.

    This is one awesome book. The love between Brody and Kate was awesome. The editing, while not perfect, was awesome. The storyline and plots were awesome. Even the supporting characters were awesome! I liked how Brody and Kate navigated their long friendship, dealt with their insecurities, to come out as a stronger couple. Its great that the author did not portray Kate as some girl who dwelled too much on Brody's past with his other relationships and made it into a stumbling block in their own budding relationship. And its great that the issue of mental health and well-being was touched on in this story. It sent the message across that the issue is real and being a famous personality does not exclude you from having this illness. This book also showed that support, either from family, friends or even strangers come a long way in helping one deal with it. Bravo Jacqueline Snowe! You nailed it with this book.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2020

    The story moved kind of slowly. I liked the chapters hopping between Katie's head and Brody's head. I like that they've been friends since grade school, and still use their childhood nicknames for each other--she's KV, and he's Grody Brody. When they got into high school and he was the captain of their football team, when people asked her about their friendship she told them she "didn't ride the Brody Pony-" and she gave her reasons--none of which are flattering to the big lug. She moves in with him temporarily, in the second bedroom, because she has a 3-month stint that may lead to a permanent job--even though her mom still lives with her sister in the same town. Their relationship is like two guys--trading insults, making jokes, being crude--until it isn't anymore. He starts to hate how good she looks when his friends are around. And she starts to notice his build.

    Nothing really surprising here. Nice steamy scenes, as they start to explore each other. But the story kind of dragged for me. And despite his determination to not ever turn into the other guys he sees in the NFL, who cheat on their mates all the time, I can't see him denying himself the pleasure of "groupies" that he's always enjoyed--at least not for long, and certainly not forever.

    If I could give this book 10 stars, I would!

    I am IN LOVE with Jaqueline's writing style. This book had me laughing and truly thoroughly entertained in a way I haven't been in a while.

    Kate and Brody have a true "best friend" relationship. Reading their banter and how they interacted with each other was pure entertainment. Like, I want to be their third best friend.

    Speaking of interactions, seeing how they evolved from "I love him like a brother" to "I love him..." was SO steamy. The slow sizzle that kept steadily growing made the tension between them absolutely delicious.

    Though mostly upbeat, the book does deal with the topic of suicide. While never a pleasant thing to think about, I felt it kept a tether on the realism of the story and made it more believable, that life isn't all "everything works out perfectly!" for these characters.

    All in all, I LOVED this book, I LOVE Jaqueline Snowe and I will DEFINITELY be reading her next book!!!

    I enjoyed reading this book and the author's writing style. There were a few typos which can make the reading flow stink a little.
    I appreciated that she wrote in the subject of teen suicides. This is near and dear to my heart and more needs to be said about this from everyone.
    Awesome love scenes. This was an all-around great story.

    I rarely read anything that contained death or suicide because I have depression but something made me get this book because I do love a sports romance. I don't think anyone could have handled the subject better. I loved this book and I will definitely be reading more books by this author.

    So four stars because I didn't like the way the author portrayed every s**escaped Brody had in the beginning and he was such a dog. But other than that the story is really cool and the couple cute. Once Brody realizes that he loves Kate he really turns into a very sweet guy.
