5 Blue Ribbons from Romance Junkies!, March 8, 2010
This review is from: No Chance (Mass Market Paperback)
Continuing her LAST CHANCE RESCUE series, phenomenal new author Christy Reece once more invites readers into her world of kidnapping and espionage with NO CHANCE, the story of Gabe Maddox and Skylar James.
Years ago, a much younger Gabe and Skyler met on an idyllic island while both were on vacation. Inseparable, Skyler and Gabe fell in love with each other and hastily married -- both kept secrets from the other. When Skyler goes home to her father and tells him of her marriage, her father is disappointed and furious. Unbeknownst to Skyler, while she is visiting her mother, her father is visiting Gabe who remained in their cabin on the island. Skyler flies back to the island and it is there that she finds their cabin empty and a note left by Gabe. It seems he didn't love her that much after all.
Gabe has never forgotten Skyler James, uh...Maddox. Still holding a grudge against his wife for lying to him so long ago and getting her father to come tell him she no longer wanted to be married, Gabe is finally ready to move on with his life and obtain a divorce. Then comes word through his employer, Last Chance Rescue, with the news that Skyler has been kidnapped and a ransom demanded. Gabe knows he is setting his heart up for a big let down but even after all of these years, he still loves his beautiful Skyler and there is no way that anyone else is going to find and carry her to safety.
Skyler and Gabe's relationship is definitely not over. From the moment they meet again, their feelings for each other come to the forefront and while neither trusts the other, they do know one thing. Their hearts have never been as full as when they are in each other's arms.
Lies, misconceptions, and pure stubbornness are the name of the game in NO CHANCE. Skyler, a world renowned model whose portfolio and bank account could support a small country, wants to be loved for herself and not for her money or her beauty. Gabe, when they meet, seems to be the person she has been looking for her entire life. He is unpretentious, giving, and he loves her. Fast forward eight years and Gabe is still those things but he is also angry, stubborn, and cautious. He and Skyler's relationship has to be rebuilt from the ground up - no matter that they still love each other. They no longer know each other and for that to happen, they have to let down their guards. And thankfully, they did because the results were amazing!
Christy Reece has another awesome release in the winner's box with NO CHANCE. Action, passion, lies, and kidnappers - who could ask for anything more?

"NO CHANCE" for anything less than 5 stars!!, February 26, 2010
I admit to being a huge fan of Christy Reece's books and writing style. I very much enjoy the way she moves her stories back and forth between past and present. I like how her characters move from book to book with us. As her secondary character base increases, so does the depth of her storylines. As an added plus to the lead story, you are also presented with many details introducing you to characters in upcoming books.
In NO CHANCE, Christy Reece continues the Last Chance Rescue trilogy with another riveting romantic suspense filled with complex, flawed and strong characters who struggle to deal with a myriad of emotions and problems. As a reader, I feel as if I'm on an emotional roller coaster ride through each page and at the end, I'm never disappointed. It's as if I've been on the best ride in the amusement park. Christy Reece has been an auto-buy for me from her very first book. Each book leaves me begging for more!

4.0 out of 5 stars
exciting romantic suspense second chance at love, February 27, 2010
This review is from: No Chance (Mass Market Paperback)
On Kalamina Island in the South Pacific, Gabe Maddox and Skylar James met, apparently fell in love and married. However, happily ever after ended before it began as her wealthy father Jeremiah managed to split the couple. Their last exchange between them was Gabe's note of departure.
Eight years later, when his beloved daughter is kidnapped, a desperate Jeremiah hires Last Chance Rescue unaware that Gabe is one of their operatives. Gabe takes charge of the mission in which Skylar was kidnapped trying to learn what happened to her best friend Kendra.
The latest Last Chance Rescue (see Rescue me and Run to Me) is an exciting romantic suspense second chance at love, if they survive, thriller. Gabe hides his anger over feeling she betrayed him and desire behind a stoic do the job and move on mask; while Skylar remains frustrated that he left before she could return to him and worried over Kendra. With a several twists including a great late shocker, fans will root for this couple to rescue their hearts as well as their lives, but No Chance for the former and little chance for the latter.
