Review:
Chance of Loving You is made up of three different short stories by three different authors. For the Love of Money is about Julie Sheffield, a struggling fashion designer working as a waitress. Her life is suddenly thrown together with a man who tipped her half of his lottery ticket. The Recipe is about Aimee Curran, who works as a dietary assistant at a hospital, and is aspiring to win a bake off in order to fund her way through culinary school. She learns that her priorities may be a tad off when she meets the grandson of one of the hospital patients. Finally, Hook, Line and Sinker reunites Abigail Cushman with the man she's loved since she was a teenager. It seemed their paths would keep crossing and would never meet, until the campus ministry hosted a fishing contest.
I enjoyed these stories. I wondered how it would work, having three completely stories in one book, but it did work. I'm not sure I could pick a favorite, but I guess I would say I like the first story the best. The chemistry between the two characters is great, and the situation that brought them together was a make or break situation, and I really enjoyed seeing how they grew and realized things about themselves and each other.
