Off Chance by Sawyer Bennett

(Off series #5)

 

Book Synopsis:  He is seeking absolution.

Flynn Caldwell has a hero complex and it’s one of the reasons he joined the New York City Fire Department. He has spent his entire professional career trying to atone for that one person he failed to save. Because, if he can do that, then perhaps he can be worthy of love again.

She is seeking escape.

Rowan Page’s life is nothing short of a disaster. Always immersed in trouble, she has only herself to depend on. She’s determined to pull herself out of this mess and make something of her life, despite the hard years she has lived on the streets of New York.

Together, they have the chance to become complete.

Flynn and Rowan’s worlds exist miles apart, but when a chance meeting brings them together, neither of them can deny the instant pull that connects them to each other. What starts as a tiny spark eventually flares into a fire so hot, it refuses to be extinguished.

For it to work, both of them will need to jump feet first into the flames to see where it takes them, despite the risk of being burned.

My review:  5 stars!!!

 

I have literally loved every book from Sawyer Bennett.  She takes real life situations and turns them into fantastic books.  I adore her writing.  She is amazing.

 

All the books are connected, in that, the boys in the books are related, i.e. brothers, cousins, etc.  So, you see the same characters over and over again.  You get to see them from different points of view and I love hearing about a couple after I've finished their book.  I like that the books are connected in that way.  It makes it more real!!

 

This book is about Flynn.  Flynn had a bad experience in his past and he is out to save the world.  Or die trying.  Because of his past, he decides to be a New York firefighter.  He tasks risks and sometimes unnecessarily puts himself and others in danger.  His chief gets upset at him on a regular basis.  However, he feels like the risks are necessary to save lives and he continues to do them against the wishes of his co-workers and boss.  During one such risky fire, he breaks a window and rescues a woman.  Her dog does not like Flynn in uniform with the mask on, so he takes it off, which is very risky.  Then he finds the woman chained to the bed and drugged.  WTF?!?!  Yeah, that's what I thought. 

 

Rowan has a hidden past.  She moved away from home changed her name (not legally of course), but she wanted to start over.  So, she moved to New York.  She lived on the street, then got mixed up with the wrong crowd.  She tried to leave to boyfriend, Juice (what kind of a name is that?!?!), and he caught her and chained her to the bed.  Who does that?!?!

 

Flynn first saves her life by getting her out of the burning house.  Then he saves her by helping her out.  Then he saves her in so many more ways.  Flynn is a great guy.  He loves with his whole heart and Rowan is just not willing to let herself fall in love.  She's scared to get go.

 

I cried in this book.  I was heartbroken at one point and I felt such a strong connection to the characters that I felt I was going through this with them.  Such a strong and powerful message.  It moved me to tears, literally.  I loved it so much!!

 

Go get it.  Or if you haven't read the other books by Sawyer Bennett, go get them first.  Read them in order, you will not be disappointed, I promise.  Great books!!

 

Happy reading!
