Her first year away is turning out to be nearly perfect, but one weekend of giving in to heated passion will change everything
Eighteen-year-old Harper has grown up under the thumb of her career marine father. Ready to live life her own way and to experience things she’s only ever heard of from the jarheads in her father’s unit, she’s on her way to college at San Diego State University.
Thanks … University.
Thanks to her new roommate, Harper is introduced to a world of parties, gorgeous guys, family, and emotions. She finds herself being torn in two as she quickly falls in love with both her new boyfriend, Brandon, and her roommate’s brother, Chase. Despite their dangerous looks and histories, both men adore Harper and would do anything for her, including taking a step back if it would mean she’d be happy.

I read Taking Chances years ago before I wrote my first book. I inhaled it in one sitting. There is a love triangle, so that may not be for you. But what I loved about it was the characters and attention to detail to them. I loved the world I was in, and enjoyed the angst between the characters. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy it too. X
I LOVED THIS BOOK hut be warned if you read this have kleenexes nearby, and know that you will not be able to get over this book fast.
I keep reading this book. It is my absolute favorite book.
This is messier than five train wrecks.
That girl shouldn’t have left the base.
One guy deserved better. The only star in my rating is for him.
This will forever be one of my favorite books. It was the first book that truly sparked my interest in reading.
No matter how many times I re-read this story it always hits me with the feels.
There are a lot of #TeamChase out there but I will always be #TeamBrandon!
Oh man. So I have read this so many times now and I have no clue why I haven’t reviewed it until now but I figured why not. I’m not sure if my review will help but this is a beautiful and heartbreaking read. Yes the author guts the reader but at the same time she works so hard to put the pieces back together. I won’t go on and on because it’s all been said before but even on my 4th reread (yes, I enjoy the pain! Lol) it still makes me have all the feels. 4 stars #2OCCJD
This was my first Molly McAdams book
I don’t know about you but I love “Love Triangles.” The whole “good” guy or “bad” guy. Which one will she choose? Which team are you on? Examples of some classic love triangles. Team Rhett Butler of Team Ashley Wilkes. Team Mr. Darcy or Team Mr. Collins. Team Edward or Team Jacob. Team Stefan or Team Damon. This book it’s Team Brandon or Team Chase. Sometimes it’s hard to choose. Sometimes I have had to be Team Switzerland. I just can’t pick one. Like in The Notebook and Sweet Home Alabama I love both men.

Harper was raised by a strict Marine father and jarheads. She sets off to college far away from that life. Instantly becoming friends with her roommate Bree. You instantly want Bree to be your best friend as well.

In walks Chase the bad boy whom she can’t control or stop their magnetic pull towards each other. Chase is the typical man whore/bad boy/covered in tattoos but you can’t help but keeping falling in love with him.

Brandon catches Harper’s attention as well. Brandon is sweet and the opposite of of Chases bad boy persona. You fall for him too.
Throughout the book you go back and forth and you finally make a decision on which team you are on. I am 100% Team Chase.
Then when you think all is good in the world Molly rips your heart out like Elijah and you’re never the same.

My heart is ripped out and I’m not sure I can go on with this book.

Just like she broke my heart in a million pieces Molly slowly puts it back together piece by piece.
I think I have found my new favorite author
I don’t know how to rate or review this book right now. I’m angry. Like, HULK angry. And I don’t have the luxury to smash things.
So, a good rating or a bad rating because clearly I feel things. Lots of things. Annoying things. I’m angry and annoyed and yeah. And this is probably the worst review to date, but whatever. Read on to enjoy my Taking Chances journey.
So, I don’t typically document my reading progress on Facebook, but I did for this book. I had a “friend” ask me to. So, I’m going to copy and paste that documentation here. That’ll be my review. Because, honestly, I don’t have anything else to say.

This is happening.
Am I going to hate you?
Post 2. 7/1/2018. 11:58am:
Annoyed. I’m annoyed. Harper is getting on my nerves–and has since the beginning. Brandon is too nice. Seriously, just too nice and kind and sweet. And Chase. Yep. He’s that bad boy you hate to love. And I do love him.
But this newest development, right before page 270, I’m annoyed.

HOLD THE MOTHERFUCKING PHONE. WHAT IN THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?! WHAT. JUST. HAPPENED?
Post 4. 7/1/2018 12:02pm (this is a continuation of the previous post, only with more words):
Because WHAT IN THE AF JUST HAPPENED???
Page 273: “I love you. I’ll fix this.” <--paraphrased, of course. Page 274: WHAT IN THE AF DID YOU DO?! WHO DOES THIS TO A PERSON? WHO??!!! AND WHY? THIS ISN'T EVEN OKAY. NOPE. NOT OKAY. I *knew* something would happen. People told me I wouldn't see it coming. Well, no fucking shit, guys. I did NOT see it coming. Because who would?! Why? Why did that just happen? And why are there still 200 pages before the end? Do I really want to finish this? Because I'm PISSED. FUCKING LIVID. LIVID. I hate you all. Post 5. 7/1/2018. 3:45pm: Page 333: this is a sick joke, right? Post 6. 7/1/2018. 7:50pm: For those following my journey, I finished Taking Chances. I'm angry. Like, irrationally angry. Will that feeling go away? Because I shouldn't be this pissed off over a book, but WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! Although, with that twist I knew was coming yet didn't see coming--assholes--I realize the beginning of the book makes so much more sense. All the sense in the world. Because why would we need all of that? We wouldn't. We'd want the real story. The one with the guy and the girl falling in love and living HEA. But instead, we get the story of a guy and a girl falling in love and living HEA. I realize that doesn't makes sense. But if I say the things, then it's ruined and no one needs to have this book spoiled for them. Now, I'm not saying you should read it because I'm still ridiculously ANGRY, but if you feel like you need a good FUCK YOU, READER kind of book, then buy this damn thing. https://amzn.to/2NgXzXM
Now, someone tell me if you can lend me Stealing Harper because clearly I’m a glutton for punishment.
“““““““`
So, yeah. That was my Taking Chances experience. And I’m still unsure about the star rating. I can’t settle on a number.
Probably because I’m SO PISSED OFF.
