Chance is book 2 in the Ghost Ops series, a spinoff of the HOT Strike Team 1 and Strike Team 2 series. We follow Chance and Rory as they traverse fears, stress, and danger from multiple fronts while trying to find ground as a couple and future parents.
About Chance
Blaze, book 1 in the series, ends with Chance carrying Rory to the hospital due to her diabetes and the actions taken by the villain in the story. Chance and Rory had a two week affair where he took care of her in all ways while she recuperated.
Chance opens with a bang. When Rory receives visitors, she greets them with Liza Jane. These visitors make her an offer, but she refuses.
Shortly after this visit, strange happenings start occurring. Happenstance or vandalism?
Chance decides Rory needs someone to look out for her at the farmhouse. So, of course, he moves in and is her protector. What he did not expect was the surprise he finds in the bathroom. When he confronts Rory about it, she tells him about it and how she is feeling about it.
Rory is a type 1 diabetic. She wears an insulin pump and a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). With this new twist in their story and relationship, both Chance and Rory are worried about the ramifications for her health. Until she sees the doctor, she does not know. She knows what she has been told by doctors and what she has read about, but now she is facing reality and needs more information.
Chance is very understanding and always wants to know what works best for her. He asks her how she wants things done. He asks her when her CGM goes off if she needs some juice. He asks her about what to expect and what he can do to help and what he should look for. He is the consummate perfect man.
And when Rory is threatened, it is Chance and the Ghost Ops men that come to the rescue.
But will Rory accept that Chance is there to stay? Will Chance be able to change her mind about wanting marriage and a family? And here is the ultimate question, will Rory be able to handle what Chance and the Ghost Ops guys really do? She has her suspicions, but suspicions and reality are never the same.
Impressions
This book was a really hard read for me. It is a very personal story for me. Rory’s story is my story. What I would love to see is a their story in 20 to 30 years. Did she suffer any complications? How are they managing the complications as a couple. Health issues are a true test of a relationship, even controlled ones.
I love that Rory names everything. The deer, the trucks, and Chancy Pants. She truly lives life to the fullest and makes the best of everything she is given. That attitude is what will get her through anything. You go girl!!!
And Chance. Gawd what I would have given to have met a man like you sooner.
And to people who read this review, please note that if you know a diabetic, do NOT ask them if they should really be eating something. It is the most offensive thing you can do. Yes, we can eat anything, as long as we cover it with insulin.
Narration
Avery Caris is a new to me narrator and her take on Rory is spot on. How she handles the bar, the farm, Chance (and the other guys), the threats and life is how I would hope I would handle them. And Aaron Shedlock proved to be a caring and concerned Chance without being overbearing (mostly).
Availability
Chance is currently available to read for FREE in Kindle Unlimited and is available for purchase in all formats on Amazon.
