“Why haven’t we gone out?”When Jesse Gunn, one of the biggest stars of World Class Wrestling, voiced that million dollar question, yet again, I was stunned. After turning him down countless times, I thought eventually he’d give up.Unexpectedly thrown together for a work project, my mind went to places I’d never allowed. Dirty places where sweaty, naked bodies take center ring and names are rasped … ring and names are rasped out in the heat of the moment.
Now, my time is spent wondering if a certain part of him could possibly live up to his last name, distracting me from my full time job – as his boss.
Can I continue to keep things professional or will I give in and tussle?
Tussle is a full length sports romantic comedy standalone.

Tussle was so much fun to read. The undeniable chemistry between Jesse and Lilah is so hot. Lilah never wants to mix business with pleasure, but what happens when a smoking hot guy is persistent for 3 years straight. Jesse is not one to back down from a challenge, and Lilah is definitely proving to be the best one. Lots of hotness, very laughable moments through out the whole. book.
I love it when Jacob Chance says he’s releasing a new book but I specifically love it when he announces it’s a Sports Romance. It’s one of my favourite genres.
I loved every bit of Tussle, Jacob left no detail unturned in this one. The storyline, the leads and sub characters where all on point and relatable. You cannot help but fall in love with Wrestling Star “Jesse Gunn” he’s Hot AF, Persistent, Talented and Hilarious. Underneath his wrestling persona is a gorgeous guy with a heart of gold and he’s not afraid to say what he wants. What he wants is a gorgeous blonde named Lilah who just started working at WCW (World Class Wrestling) and just happens to be the daughter of the CEO. As Jess finds out she’s a stickler for rules and who is definitely not falling for his persistent charm? Or does she?
You better believe Jesse is a game player and he plays to win.
Tussle will give you a new Book Boyfriend who melts your heart and give you some laugh out loud moments. His witty smart mouth and his sexy charm will have you salivating on every page. It was a riveting read from the Prologue, but that epilogue is where you elevated this book to brilliant status for me.
As a fan of Jacobs from his very first book I can say this is his best work yet. The research, the character detail, the storyline make this a book I cannot recommend enough.
It’s Bright, Witty and Sexy AF
This book is fantastic. I love every minute of it. Jesse and Lilah are so sweet and fun together. I love all the wrestling stuff too. The secondary characters are just as good. I enjoy how they meet, and their journey to be together. I had fun reading this. The writing and flow of this story is done wonderfully. I highly recommend this book.
Tussle is book one in the World Class Wrestling series by Jacob Chance. I wanted to read a sports romance out of the norm of the usual sports like football or hockey, and Jacob had just what I needed, Wrestling. I can honestly say I’ve never read a wrestling romance before. Not only did this open my eyes to the world of wrestling, the romance was sweet and sexy as well!
Lilah is twenty two when this story begins. Fresh out of college and going to work for her father in their family owned World Class Wrestling business. It’s what she’s been preparing for since she was born. It’s also the day she first saw him, a sexy, flirty man that kind of took her breath away. But the first think her father told her is rule number one, no fraternization, AT ALL! And that flirty man she met, he is a wrestler for her father’s company.
Jesse Gunn is a professional wrestler for WCW. He’s one of their biggest up and coming stars. He knows the boss’s daughter is off limits. But he can’t help himself. Several times a week he stops by her office with little gifts or flirty jokes. He’s nothing if not determined to wear her down to let him take her out on a date. Because he’s pretty sure that the beautiful Lilah is it for him.
“Hope is a powerful emotion. As long as it remains, there’s a chance. And one chance is all I need to make her mine.”
When Lilah’s father pairs them up for a promotional road trip, Jesse sees this as the chance he’s been waiting for. Lilah sees him as his wrestling personality and he needs to show her who the real Jesse is. Once she gets to know the real him, she won’t be able to resist him, right?!
First, I always knew wrestling was a scripted show but this book really did show what really goes on behind the scenes. I loved Jesse’s determination. His actions were so sweet while trying to get Lilah to go out with him. At first, Lilah’s hot and cold reactions bothered me a little bit even though I completely knew why she was reacting that way. I loved how they were together once she finally gave in. The ending was so sweet. This was really a cute, fun book. The next book in the series is about Jesse’s sister, Ronnie, and Wyatt, in Rumble. I can’t wait to read it.
I really enjoyed this book. This is the first book I have read by Jacob Chance and I am completely addicted to his writing style. Jesse Gunn is a pro wrestler and Lilah is trying is trying to prove herself. There was comedy and sexual tension. I blew through this book and loved every moment.
PERSEVERANCE
***IT MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS ***
Lilah is ready to start working at her father’s business. She only as to follow three rules;
1- Never mix business with pleasure,
2- Always remain professional in every situation, and
3- Never mix business with pleasure.
Should be easy, right?
I got to say, Jesse is very persistent.
Lilah is giving him a hard time and refuses to acknowledge the chemistry between the two of them. After three years of asking her for a first date, and after many many turn downs, he decides is time to bring out the big Gunn.
This story starts out with Lilah who is on her first day at work at her father company The WCW and meets Jesse they gave intaint chemstry and attraction. She finds him interesting and agrees to go out with him even though he is proba ky a player. But after meeting her father to go over her place in the company he gives her a list of must follow rules and one of them is no fraternization. So she tells him she cant go out with him. Jesse is a up an coming wrestling star and he very drawn to Lilah. So for 3 yrs he has none stop asked her out and gotten to know her. And as his career is taken off her father decided to have her spend more time with him to help his social media . The morw time they spend the more they fall for each other and Lilah is unable to hold back. I love the way the Jesse never gave up kept asking her out . Sweet and patient with Lilah. Jacob Chance has a way of writing that makes you see the point of view of both male and female side of story. You never want to put the book down. Very well written book. I can not wait to read the next book
I’ve never read a “WWE” type book. It sure was fun! Jesse was the perfect lead with his larger than life personality. His connection with Lilah was palpable from the start. I was cheering along Jesse to win her heart. Such a fun read!
I loved this book! It had everything I love in a romance book; the strong, sexy hero and the sassy heroine that kept him on his toes. The storyline was fast paced. There was heat and tension and swoony romance that melted my kindle and my heart. Can’t wait to read more from Jacob Chance!
Wow a world of wcw. It was really exciting!! A daughter who wants something she doesn’t think she can have. A man who knows what he wants. This was a really good read. I enjoyed it a lot!!!
I loved this book so hard!!! As a kid I watched wrestling religiously, so I was SUPER excited to read these books! This book was so much fun and so hot! It also featured the longest slow burn known to man LOL
I LOVED how Jesse and Lilah met and how Lilah tried SO HARD to resist him! I mean three years is quite a long time to keep a man waiting. At the same time, three years is a long time to keep pining after the same woman. That whole scenario had me cracking up more than once. I loved their banter and how he was so relentless. I also thought it was hysterical how much it truly affected her. I mean three years of a man asking you out, I can’t believe she held on so long! When they started their project I was so excited for them because I couldn’t wait to see how this burn grew. And damn did it grow!
The constant banter and flirting between these two during their projects together were so good! I thought the dad’s roll in all of this was even funnier. Although he admitted no intentions, I swear he was playing match maker. And we can’t forget about Wyatt, Ronnie and Carly. These three didn’t make anything easier on Jessie and Lilah and that made it so much funnier! I was constantly laughing at them giving those two shit about not being together.
This book had so much detail and the perfect amount of emotions, especially laughter! This was such a unique book, using the world of wrestling, that it made it that much more enjoyable to read! CAN’T WAIT for Wyatt and Ronnie!
It has to be said, Jacob Chance can write sports romance like no one else. His knowledge and love of sports is second to none.
TUSSLE is a terrific story filled with heart, humour, sexual tension and plenty of “I want to be #Jesse’sGirlz moments! I found myself utterly captivated from the outset. The attention to detail and how Jacob articulated the sport of wrestling was phenomenal.
I absolutely loved Jesse and Lilah. This is what I love most about Jacob Chance’s writing. The main characters don’t always immediately fall into bed together. Instead, there’s some time spent on them really getting to know each other which always gives depth to the characters and makes the story realistic and relatable. Jacob is so brilliant at creating sexual tension between two characters, especially when one of those characters is denying such powerful chemistry. The anticipation that leads to Lilah finally succumbing to Jesse’s pursuits and advances is almost as good as when these two finally become lovers.
I truly loved this slow burn romance. It had a bit of everything; fun, sexy, flirty and sweet, with scorching, powerful chemistry from the two leads. The secondary characters were fabulous and I can’t wait to see if we get more from the world of WCW.
Awwweeee, this was a sweet, little slow burn read that I really enjoyed. It was neat
to read a sports book on that isn’t your typical sport (baseball, football, hockey).
Loved this cute couple. Fun, sexy rom-com.
What girl doesn’t dream of a patient, sweet and sexy disposition in a man? Jesse is this man, he is a sexy wrestler and he becomes so infatuated with the one person he shouldn’t, the bosses daughter. Their chemistry is apparent, but Jesse cannot get Lilah to break the one rule her father has working for the family business; no fraternizing. This story is a sweet and sexy as hell romcom that will grab you from start to finish. I dare you to become one of #JessesGirlz!
I laughed, I swooned, I became Jessie’s girl.
Jacob Chance take us into the world of pro wrestling with this sports romance standalone.
His writing gave the readers the feeling of being inside the ring or in the audience. The adrenaline rush is easily felt, even for a non-fan of wrestling like myself. It didn’t mattered that I didn’t know the names of the moves, because it was easy to guess what they were with the descriptions.
“Watch out. You’re gonna fall for me, I’m a total catch.”
As a pro wrestler, Jesse has a cocky persona, but he has a different side that he doesn’t let many people see. I loved this side of him. He has a charming personality that I couldn’t help wanting to be be Jesse’s girl. It’s hard to not fall for him. He makes a great book boyfriend.
“Just because you had your mouth ‘on my tits’ as you so eloquently put it, doesn’t mean you get to tell me what to do. They’re not your tits, they’re mine.”
I absolutely loved Lilah. She’s witty and firecracker. She can keep one cocky and persistent wrestler in check. I immensely enjoyed the way she challenged Jesse and kept him on his toes. Their interactions were deliciously good and were my favorite. They were so much fun to read.
Tussle is humorous. There were many amusing scenes that had me smiling or laughing out loud. Though, there was something that was being teased but wasn’t delivered. I was hoping there was a scene with it. The secondary characters are pretty amazing, too. I may have develop a girl crush on Ronnie. I want her book.
4.5 chocolate covered stars
If you’re looking for a lighthearted romance that’ll make you laugh and reminisce those moments you spent watching every single pro wrestling event You’ve found it.
Read this book, you won’t be disappointed.
*4 Stars*
This was a fast book to read and quite fun. It was a bit cheesy, but at the same time, thats meant to be the allure of the characters. Its a book that just has easy and fun and games all throughout it. Its a nice and fun read, particularly if you’re in the mood for something fun and easy. For a sports romance it actually has a fair bit of the sporting action described as well, which is good.
The ending was quite good, and I definitely think there is room for another book concerning Jesse’s sister. You’ll know what I’m saying once you’ve read Tussle.
Overall, fun and easy, would recommend.
