I had fun reading this fast paced story. The characters are interesting and not at all what I expected..Eloise Clark is young, naive, and sweet, yet you can see the inner strength in her personality. Rex was not at all what I thought; he’s thoughtful and perceptive, while looking rough and brutal! The author feeds you little bits of information as the story unfolds, keeping you guessing with each twist and turn.

This is the first book in the Hot ‘n’ Hitched Series. They’re opposites in every way and supposedly not compatible. For protection they married her off to this gruff protector. He’s gruff and covered in tattoos. How long does it take for Mr. Wrong to become Mr. Right? Elle and Rex will definitely steam up your Kindle as their chemistry is explosive. The steam gets hotter as the book progresses. Lots of twists to keep you guessing and page turning. Well written with strong, likable characters and an entertaining story line.
Rex is awkward and gruff by nature. He is so attracted to Eloise, he does not know how to really act around her without making his thoughts known to her. Eloise likes what she sees when she first meets Rex, but is reproachful due to his attitude. They end up giving up the fight of attraction to each other and falling in love while getting to clear up the dangers plaguing Eloise in the beginning.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED REX & ELOISE’S STORY A FAST PACED STORYLINE WITH THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF TWISTS AND TURNS TO KEEP YOU TURNING THE PAGES IN ANTICIPATION ! ! ! STEAMY, SEXY AND SINFUL A DEFINITE MUST READ ! ! !
When you need a quick husband don’t look further than your protective Alpha Bodyguard
Perfect by Chance is the first book that I have read by Everly Chase. I was not sure what to expect but the description looked interesting, as I am a sucker for the Marriage of Convenience trope books and I am always open to finding a new to me author that I want to put on my must read list.
This story was a pretty good 4 Stars for me. It had a number of really good parts and some that I just rolled my eyes at and let out a groan. There were some plot details that the author got wrong so maybe a bit more research/verification before writing would be good for future books. But with that being said I did enjoy reading Perfect by Chance and getting swept up in all the over protective Alpha and hot sexy scenes.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
This is a great first novel by this author, who is definitely one to look out for. The story is interesting and there is lots of action, adventure and romance to be had. The characters are likable, and they are perfect for this story.

This is the authors debut novel which i found steamy with an entertaing storyline filled with suspense and lots of laughs. Some of the dialogue was certainly cheesy, the book could have used a good editing as there were lots of plotholes…for example …Eloise spent her sisters whole party with a towel wrapped around her head…..The first time Rex and Eloise went into town Daniel the dog is with them. When they find the Bobcats head after returning from town Daniel was home the whole time……but aside from those mishaps and the grammar i found the story very intriguing and very entertaining and certainly look forward to reading the authors future work as this story was fast paced and i didnt once get bored while reading it.
Eloise finds herself in the mountains married against her knowledge to a man that her sister and father trust….she finds out the truth about who has ruined her fashion business and that her life is in danger.

DISCLOSURE; Strictly on a volunteer basis, this is a pre-release review via the author.
“Perfect By Chance,” took me by surprise as a debut story. ‘One Life, One Chance,” has a distinctive meaning in this intriguing read with sly secrets, mystery, gripping suspense, spine-chilling action, witty dialogue, breathtaking scene descriptions, deep-moving moments, credible characters, a sweet dog and a heart-warming ending.
For years Eloise has been thought of as the easily-broken girl. She is now jobless and homeless. Her older sister is leaving the US on an important job opportunity. She sends Eloise into the mountains of Colorado, evading the real reasons why. Rex, a built tatted up military vet owns the shut off to the world cabin. Their first meet burns with heated anger. Getting to their happy ending has quite a few unexpected twists.
Loved Rex’s alpha protective instincts and found his sweet side heart-melting. Eloise’s lion-hearted persona proves she is a worthy heroine. The sweet dog adds touching moments to this read. This couple is believable, and their romance is one of adoration and fiery passion. I found this to be a most entertaining read.

This is the first book that Everly Chase has publised. I am givng it five stars becasue it was soo good and if I didn’t tell you it was her first novel you would not hav eknown. Rex is such an alpha male and Elly if one fiesty girl. These characters are trown together and I just know someone was going to end up getting smacked. Ellie though tough, has lived a sheltererd live and boy does she have the crazy ex-boyfriend who is out to destory her in any way that he can. He ruined her business and now here sister is gonna take matters into her own 5. She is leaving the country and wants to know that Elle is going to be safe and sound I found myself holding my breath. This is such an amazing book. Especially for the first one. I can not wait to see what Everly Chase gives us next. Trust me. Take the chance and don’t miss this book. It’s the perfect read for a warm summer’s night.
I enjoyed the story of Eloise and Rex because Rex did not treat Eloise as the fragaile little girl for long like everyone else did. He gave her the chance to becomme the strong woman she needed to be to be able to deal with all that happens in her life because of a stalker ex. It is a love story with a little action thrown in.

I really enjoyed this. There is suspense, attraction, tension, lots of chemistry, and a whole lot of steam. I love the differences between Eloise and Rex that make them perfect for each other. There is some comedy in there considering Eloise was tricked into marriage by her sister. I would love to see more stories from this author in the future.

Eloise has come home after losing her aspiring online clothing business to a false article in a fashion magazine, but her sister is leaving the country for 6 months. Where she ends up wasn’t in her plan but with Rex around why do you need a plan. There is danger, lust and a confused Eloise when strange things start to happen in the Colorado mountains. The overall storyline is good, a few areas need some more polishing which is why I couldn’t give a 5 star review. The 4 stars squeak out because I like the overall message and redemption that Rex felt he owed the world. Eloise is a bit whiny and needs to pick if she is an adult or a child. I dont think she even knew.
