CHANCE OF A LIFETIME
Anderson Brothers #3
Marissa Clarke
Releasing November 16th, 2015
Entangled: Lovestruck


Sometimes the biggest risk is playing it safe…

Gen Richards is tired of living down to her family’s expectation of the helpless blind girl. Resurrecting her high-school bucket list that begins with “kiss a total stranger” seems just the thing until she finds herself in a panty-melting lip lock with her big brother’s best friend.

Chance Anderson thrives on adrenaline, but Genny’s the one risk he’s not willing to take. His recklessness a decade ago landed her in the hospital and ejected him from her life. He’s bad for her and everyone knows it—especially her big brother.

Chance reluctantly helps Gen complete her bucket list in order to keep her out of trouble. Running through a freezing fountain, playing Spin the Bottle while fending off a mad horde of stinging insects, and skinny dipping with homicidal attack swans don’t hold a candle to the real danger: falling for the one person he can never have.

There times in life when it becomes necessary to think of oneself in order to find themselves

Sometimes the biggest risk is playing it safe.

Gen Richards is tired of living down to her family’s expectation of the helpless blind girl. 

Resurrecting her high-school bucket list that begins with “kiss a total stranger” seems just the 

thing until she finds herself in a panty-melting lip lock with her big brother’s best friend. 

Chance Anderson thrives on adrenaline, but Genny’s the one risk he’s not willing to take. His 

recklessness a decade ago landed her in the hospital and ejected him from her life. He’s bad for 

her and everyone knows it—especially her big brother. 

Chance reluctantly helps Gen complete her bucket list in order to keep her out of trouble. 

Running through a freezing fountain, playing spin the bottle while fending off a mad horde of 

stinging insects, and skinny dipping with homicidal attack swans don’t hold a candle to the real 

danger: falling for the one person he can never have. (Amazon Blurb)

We have seen or at the very least have heard about the movie ‘The Bucket List’ with 

Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson where before they die they want to accomplish certain 

things or tasks that they wouldn’t or couldn’t allow themselves to do in the past. An interesting 

concept that has since become a common practice for many individuals, bucket lists are often 

posted online, recorded or even added as memorabilia and others throw it away once they have 

fulfilled every point. Not wanting to wait until it’s too late and simply wanting to get out there, 

Gen uses her high school bucket list and finds herself in her brother’s best friend’s arms and 

gets a taste of what must be one of the most passionate kiss she’s experienced in too long. 

Chase knows he shouldn’t touch Gen, but he can’t help himself from joining her to ‘keep her out 

of trouble’. I wish I could have had the chance to read the other books in this series; if Chance 

of a Lifetime is any indication of what to expect from the rest of the previous novels, then I am 

convinced that they would be important to read beforehand since they would give the readers a 

better understanding of the past of the many characters we meet in this novel. Recommended? 

Absolutely; a strongly recommended read for both your to be read library and you to be watched 

author.
