The storyline itself had so much potential. I just feel like this one fell flat for me.
Where the author could have explored more she didn’t and it just seems like that part of the story could have brought more emotion and angst into it. There were times I felt like Emily was trying to be a bada$$ but it just didn’t fit her regular personality. Like she would get all uppity about things when she didn’t need to.
It’s not a horrible read, it just was missing more.
The narrator did a great job.
I was given an audio ARC and decided to leave an honest review.
What a fantastic read!!!
If you are looking for a great read, this is it!! It is so unlike anything I have read before.
Susan Meacham sucked me into this story from beginning to the end. I found myself wanting more.
This story had romance, suspense and excitement. I was able to connect with the characters and the storyline. Her story tells of real life issues. This makes her book so real and emotional.
Some books you read and some you enjoy but Chance Encounter swallows you up heart and soul!
I am definitely excited to read her next book!
Thank you Ms Meachen for sharing your amazing talent!
I would definitely recommend this book to all my friends.
Blake has everything, He wants the chance to make Emily his. Even though they’re from different back grounds, he is obsessed with her. When together, their chemistry is electrifying. They both have secrets but will these secrets destroy their love for each other?
This poignant story is passionate, steamy, heartbreaking and sorrow.
Leigh De Sales narration shows all the love and emotions. I enjoyed listening to this story. I was gifted the audio and offered my honest review.
One hard-working woman, one playboy who has been given everything, what does fate have in store for them? She has been working hard so she can make it in the world, while he just has to snap his fingers to get anything. She has been looking and crushing hard on him but has been keeping it to herself. He wants the chance and time to make her his. What happens to them? I am not telling you. I will tell Mrs. Meachen is a wonderful writer who can build you a world that will take you on a journey. I loved this book and I hope that you check her out.
This book was an original, written by an author who was new to me. Emily and Blake both have secrets in their past. Coming to terms with the secrets will help that affection for each other to deepen. Keep a tissue handy as this story goes from tears to laughter and back again. No spoilers from me. I will definitely be looking to read more of Ms Meachem’s books.
What I like about this book was that some things were unconventional, like the ending. I have to admit I wasn’t too taken with Blake myself. I love how the author made Emily so strong. She put her foot down and did not let Blake give in to his addiction. I do have some questions that I hope will be answered in later Booke’s.
This book hooked me right in from the very first page with the planned plot that flowed smoothly from page to page and the characters were so well fleshed out that Emily and Blake kept me totally engaged until the turn of the very last page!
This book will make you cry big time. Emily tries her best to get out of what her mom put her in but unknown to Emily at the time some one bought her to keep her safe but with secrets on both side will they last
This Jaded soul saw so much between lines.
Very accurate representation of girl trapped by birth to a path not of her choice. In swoops the Prince to protect her from all. Yet my mind couldn’t accept this fairy tale. Experience telling me expect more.
4 out of 5 stars
Welcome to Davon port Georgia where a chance encounter between the biggest playboy and the girl from the wrong side of the tracks. Emily the girl that has been brought up in a world of hate, drugs and sex trafficking . She has maintained her innocence and has worked hard to blend in so no one can see her . Until the day Blake sees her and when they cross paths there is such chemistry . When they are together they ignite but will their pasts keep them apart and destroy their new found love .
The characters are well written and complex. Blake is your young hot playboy , who has money, good looks and charisma . He also fun loving and fiercely protective of those he loves . He is also hiding a secret that will hurt him and his relationship . Emily tries to be tough but deep down inside she is sweet and kind . She has grown up in a hateful relationship with her so called mother . She does come of a little naïve sometimes through out the book but underneath the tough girl is a woman that is so kind and sweet. On their own the are great characters but when together they are explosive . The cast of characters that are there for these two are vast and such good characters . Charlotte is even good in her evil ways . Trust me there are moments that you want to punch Charlotte and knock her out . Miguel and Ginger are a great pair as their best friends that keep them grounded
Set aside a evening cause once you start reading this book you will have a hard time putting it down. The story is one you will get sucked into with lots of twists and turns . The characters are well written and complex . One moment you will hug them and then you will want to slap them into the back of their heads cause they did something really stupid . The only thing I found that there were a few spelling errors and it kind of dragged in a few places that can be taken care of with a bit of tightening up in the chapters . Over all I truly enjoyed this book the ending had me balling like a baby . That ending was such a shocker . If you want a good read for your fall reading list add this book
I loved this story. Emily works hard to not be her mother’s daughter. Blake has his sights set on Emily and patiently waits for her to come of age. They love each other so hard, there’s just no one else of either of them. I strongly recommend this book.
Emily and Blake’s story is amazing as they work together in order to have a relationship. This is a well written flawless story, which is filled with secrets, drama, twists, suspense, and love, all which had me totally hooked and intrigued throughout. I cannot wait to read more in this series, and I recommend this authors’ work for all readers!
This is my first read by this author and it was a good story. Boy sees girl, claims her in his head, ensures her safety, falls in love. We’ve seen it before but not quite like this. With this author that shouldn’t be a surprise. This may be her debut novel but her skill and ability to weave a story will keep you so involved in the story the end will through you for a loop. Yup it’s one of them endings to the fairy tale. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
