“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 is a fun, flirty, and hilarious sports romance with off-the-charts chemistry and witty banter between the characters that make it an absolute MUST READ!
Five all-consuming stars! Jacob Chance always writes the sexiest Sports Romances.
Wow! I don’t know how to start my review because Tussle by Jacob Chance has left me speechless. This book is a bookish pleasure with capital letters. Each page was a punch direct to my bookworm heart. It is a very entertaining and enjoyable read.
Jacob Chance wrote this book brilliantly perfect. It pulls you directly into the cat and mouse game between the main characters. It was harder to put this down because I was always waiting for more and more. This book filled my deepest bibliophile cravings. A sports romance that will keep you turning pages until you finish it. Highly addictive and tempting.
Tussle is a fantastic read that will hook you from the very beginning. The storyline and interesting and strong characters enchanted me and had me reading late into the night. Jacob Chance did it again! He writes the best suspenseful and sexy sports romance. His characters are so realistic. His male characters are cocky, all macho-possessive and sweet. They are lions who are tamed by their lionesses. And his heroines are sassy and feisty women.
This time he gifted us a sinful male character. Jesse Gunn is a determined fighter. He is an arrogant and a caring man. He is sex and sin. He is the temptation no woman can resist. Jesse is passionate and tender-an irresistible combination.
Lilah is a sassy and career-centered woman. She finished colleague and she will work in her family businesses. Her father is proud of her but he will give her some rules that she needs to comply. The most important is the non fraternization between colleagues and/or wrestlers. Bad that she has the temptation in front of her.
To fall or not to fall for the temptation. That’s the question. Jesse will fight dirty to claim her as his woman. Denying the attraction between them is going to be an epic fight of egos.
Lilah will have a quiet time. To choose work over love or to choose love over work.
This is an awesome read. Lilah and Jesse have the most intense romance. The chemistry between them is dynamite. It is strong and warm like fire. This book worth the time I spend reading it. Read this book now!
Wish I could be one of #JessesGirlz
Jacob Chance is one author whose books I can’t get enough of and Tussle is no different. From the first teaser, to the hottest cover I have seen (look at it and try to argue), to a story I couldn’t put down – Tussle is a funny, feel good romance that should be on everyone’s to read list!!
On her first day working at World Class Wrestling (WCW), Lilah Turner is charmed by Jesse Gunn, an upcoming professional wrestler. Unfortunately for them both, Lilah is Russ Turner’s daughter and Russ is the CEO of WCW with a low tolerance for workplace fraternisations. So for three years and almost 300 attempts at a date, Lilah manages to ward off Jesse’s determined, cheesy and adorable propositions to date him. But when a wrestling matter requires Jesse and Lila to work in close quarters, sparks begin to fly, the sexual tension is palpable and Lilah’s carefully constructed reasons for not dating Jesse start to erode.
What follows is a hilarious romantic comedy that will have you swooning over Jesse – yes you’ll want to be one of #JessesGirlz too, laughing out loud at the antics of wrestlers in pursuit of their sport and our entertainment, and hoping that Lilah can find a balance between her career aspirations and love (because if she can’t, I’m sure there’s a line of women happy to make Jesse theirs). And be prepared for a sweet, lovely, hilarious romance that will make you smile, laugh and wish for a super-sweet, alpha-male wrestler named Jesse Gunn to take an interest in you
Jacob Chance writes fantastic romantic suspense (see the Quake duet!) bit his forays into sports, rom-com with Drive and Tussle have cemented him as a one-click, must-read author for me.

What a great sports romcom. I must say the author hit a great mixture of wit and sports action with this one. Being a huge fan of wrestling for years I must admit that this book had me hooked from the very start with the great storyline and action/stunts in the ring. But throw in the banter between Jesse and Lilah along with the antics and hot situations between them and others around them, the author has a huge 5 star hit on his hands (at least in this readers eyes).
Lilah meets Jesse Gunn on her first day at work. The attraction they share is immediate. However they have 3 strikes going against them having any type of relationship: her dad and uncle own the Wrestling Company which she and Jesse both work for, Lilah is also Jesse’s boss to a certain extent and last but certainly not least the company has a no employee Fraternization Policy. But those things mean little to Jesse, he is use to getting what he wants, and he wants Lilah. In fact he spends years asking her out at least twice a week and getting shot down every time. But what happens when Jesse finagles things around to where Lilah has to spend hours on end, day in and day out, with Jesse traveling from town to town doing a social media blast called On the Road With Jesse? Will she finally cave in and stop fighting the attraction between them, because trust me alone with Jesse is nothing like the Jesse in the ring. And some things are just too hard for a girl to ignore (pun intended).
2 Thumbs up for a funny sexy romcom that will have you
I love this book so hard! It was such a different sports romance that I wasn’t expecting. It left me scratching my head thinking that The Rock and Hulk Hogan were sexy and I wasn’t sure what to do with that, but I’m embracing it. I wanted it to keep going and going… so off to read Rumble…
This was another five star Jacob Chance book; this was rom/com at it’s finest. I absolutely loved Lilah and Jesse’s story, it was fun, funny, romantic, and steamy in all the right places. Their romance was full of just the right amount of angst, sweetness and spice. It wasn’t overly sexual or cheesy. I swear Jacob Chance knows how to write a story. Now everytime I listen to Waterloo by ABBA I’ll think of Jesse and Lilah (once you read it this will make sense). Now I need a book about Ronnie and Wyatt, *hint hint* Mr.Chance
Incredibly Hot for sure! Tussle is irresistibly sexy. Wrestler Jesse Gunn is absolutely sexy as hell, and is definitely persistent in his pursuit for Lilah Turner. Lilah Turner daughter of WCW CEO. She has been forbidden by her father not to mix business with pleasure at the risk of losing her job or Jesse. Jesse continues to purse Lilah no mater the consequences. The two are a great match outside the ring. This book has great romance and comedy mix.
Lilah is the daughter of Russ Turner CEO of WCW, she is about to start working for him as the Head of Online Marketing. Jesse Gunn is one of the brightest wrestlers on their books. They happen to run into one another on her first day but she blows Jesse off. Not one to be dissuaded easily he keeps asking her out and she keeps denying him. Daddy’s #1 golden rule – no fraternising with co-workers. Lilah persisted his advances for three years and her Dad came up with the idea of a road trip with Jesse Gunn. She sees a very different side to him away from the spotlight. An quick and easy sports romance to read with some twists turns and laughs along the way.
When Lilah Turner arrives for her first day at WCW she meets Jesse Gunn, and there is an instant connection. Lilah soon finds out that Jesse is a wrestler at WCW, and her father and the CEO of WCW has a strict no fraternizing amongst employees rule.
After three years, and almost 300 failed attempts for a date, Jesse finally starts to know down Lilah’s walls of defense. As they grow closer, Lilah is worried her job and Jesse’s are in jeopardy.
When you have an undeniable connection with someone, do you risk it, or everything you’ve worked your entire life for?
Loving Tussle! What a great fun read, the story draws you right in and your falling in love with Jesse and Lilah, they are so sweet together! Tussle is a must read, definitely worth 5 stars!!!
This is the first book I read by Jacob Chance and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Lilac & Jesse’s dynamic was great! Jesse was swoon worthy. And the chemistry & heat. May fuego I’m definitely seeking out more of his library.
Loved this book. Jacob has written another great story with great characters that grab you from the first page. Love that Jesse never gave up on getting Lilah. They had an instant attraction that took a few years for them to finally come together. This was hot sexy hot story that I recommend everyone read.
MUST READ!!! Jacob Chance is a fairly new author for me. I thought Tussle was fantastic. The characters are so well written. The chemistry between Jesse and Lilah is off the charts hot. The storyline is great. I absolutely loved it. I’ll definitely be reading more of Jacob’s work.
LOVE LOVE LOVED Tussle. It’s a fast paced funny read with a unique story line! Jacob’s writing puts you front and center as if you were a bystander watching the action unfold live. I enjoyed the amount of thought and detail put into each scene. The added information that helps the reader understand formalities is absolutely amazing. Jesse and Lilah were written perfectly and their chemistry was off the charts hot! Jesse will make you swoon and Lilah will have you girl crushing! I highly recommend ALL of Jacob’s work but Tussle is my new fave!
Finished “Tussle” by Jacob Chance and loved it!!!

Don’t fight attraction! Don’t fight chemistry! Love Jesse’s Way…
Get ready readers to be blown away! Step into the world of wrestling. Jesse is going to knock your socks off… and make you melt. I have no clue when it comes to this sport! I can say I’ve heard of it just never watched it, or even what the rules of engagement are. It’s definitely a sport that is high impact and intense. If you don’t know what the sport entails…you’ll be learning as you read. so it’s pretty cool to learn the in’s and out’s of a new sport.
Even the word Tussle conjures up struggle to obtain or achieve…Oh yes!! Jesse is the man that goes after what he wants, the struggle in patience, to achieve what his heart desires… and in his sights… Lilah. Lilah is the hard working woman, who values the need to keep her working life professional and that means Jesse is in the no go zone. You just don’t ever mix business with pleasure. Persistence and determination have their day! Go Jesse!
Jacob brings, a story that is charming, sexy and quick witted banter even when there are times you want to grab Lilah by the shoulders and say come on girl – get a move on. Don’t fight attraction! Don’t fight chemistry! Just let this beautiful romance develop, one that keeps both of these characters on their toes. Sometimes, that just how love works… it takes time before two people are on the same page. it’s respectful, it’s growing and learning about each other, themselves and the people that support and surround them.
Jacob Chance has written you a beautiful, charming story in Tussle. After reading quite a few dark stories, it’s always wonderful and well worth my time to be surrounded in the romance, joy and light of a Jacob Chance story and just enjoy and smile as the story unfolds. I know it’s going to be well worth your time to read also.
Jacob is back with another sports romance that will knock your socks off! Tussle is such an enjoyable read. I couldn’t put it down at all. And after reading it let me just say that I am definitely one of #JessesGirlz! And let’s just take a minute to admire that cover! I can’t stop staring at it, I flove that cover! It’s hot hot hot and it is perfect for this story!
Every single character within the walls of this story were so loveable! I love every single one of them. Lilah is so sweet! She plays by the rules and never steps out of line, always making sure those around her are happy. Jesse is a hot, tattooed, dirty talking wrestler. I love how his character isn’t afraid to show his feelings, It’s a nice change. The secondary characters are just as great as the main cast. I can’t wait to see if Ronnie and Wyatt get their own story, I’m rooting for them!
The story is funny, light hearted and fun. I seriously enjoyed reading it so much. Jacob writes stories that will captivate you from the start, and out of the stories I have read of his so far, Tussle is by far my favourite. I really loved the epilogue! It was just a great ending to a fantastic story. So come join the #GunnClub and become one of #JessesGirlz!
Lilah Turner is going to join the family business. Because of that job she’s put in a very awkward position. She has a friend named Carly – she was a great secondary character. She seemed to have a strong personality but the author does a great job at keeping a tight reign on her so that she doesn’t overtake a scene. Jesse Gunn is a very persistent man. He’s a man that’s willing to take his time to pursue someone that piques his interest. And he’s willing to do just about anything to be taken seriously.
This author has a real flare at writing a character that appears to be a real jerk. He also needs a lesson on how to treat people. But if you think of his profession then you have to wonder what is real and what is an act. It’s not hard to think of a group of men and women currently on television – especially when it seems to be based on a certainly family (there’s no way you won’t know who I’m talking about – at least those in the US). This is one reason why I believe this book works. You could picture these characters going up against their reality counterparts.
Something that should impress some is the fact that this author proves that even men can write romance. Women don’t have the corner market on this genre anymore. They can get us involved with the characters, get lost in the story they are weaving, can leave you with a smile on your face and they can even write a great ending.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
I am undoubtedly one of #JessiesGirlz all the way! What a freakin story OMG, I’m filled with so many emotions right now I LOVED it. I haven’t read many wrestling stories and I gotta say that this is one helluva romcom everyone will enjoy reading. The storyline pulls you in front the very beginning and captures your attention and heart the whole way through. Jesse is so damn loveable and Lilah is so adorably sweet seeing these two develop a friendship will have you guessing will they or won’t they. I’m blown away by this authors writing style, I’ve read their work before but this story is now at the top of my favorites. Well done and I’m curious if we’ll maybe see a story for Wyatt is the future, I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed. Grab your copy and make it your next book TBR! This is my unbiased and voluntary review.

How do you choose between what you believe could be true love and living up to expectations within the family dynasty?
In his latest sports rom-com, Jacob Chance dives into the world of professional wrestling.
Lilah Turner has just graduated from Yale University and is eager to take on her role in the family business, World Class Wrestling (WCW.) On her first day, she learns her father’s number one company rule: no fraternization. Even if you think you’ve found your one true love.
Jesse Gunn is a WCW superstar in the making. He could have his pick of countless beautiful women. There’s only one woman he truly desires though, Lilah.
After she continuously turns down his advances and he patiently continues to pursue her, they are forced to spend time together in close proximity for work related reasons. How will they be able to resist their undeniable chemistry? Does Lilah really want to?
Jacob does a great job of making you feel right along with his characters. There were more than a few occasions when I wanted to shake Lilah. And there were even more instances when I swooned at Jesse’s words. He may have a rough exterior but we should all be so lucky to find a man like Jesse Gunn. This book is full of romance and giggles. This book is a great example of why Jacob is one of my favorite male romance authors.
