REVIEW ➞ Chance Encounter by Harlow Layne

BLURB ➞

Ever since kindergarten, I’ve hated Chance. Everything about him rubbed me the wrong way and still does.

In high school, he was always trying to one-up me either in class or out on the ice. Much to his disappointment, I was always the winner.

The competition between us was fierce, and even though we’d been out of school for over a decade, Chance Reed was still always trying to one-up me.

Today he finally got his wish. The man I hate with a passion saved me, and now I owe him and he’ll never let me forget it.

What was once hatred has turned into an attraction I’m not sure I can deny, not now that he’s got me right where he’s always wanted me.

Do I give into what my body wants, or do I fight him like I’ve been doing from the moment we met?


The days in Polar Bear, Alaska, are short and chilly. And the nights. Well, they’re long and frigid. The small, isolated town known for its yearly icy swim is overflowing with hunky, lonely men. These Mountain Men are waiting for their special soulmate to come along and heat things up.

This December, take the plunge with nine of your favorite instalove authors as we introduce you to your new Mountain Man book boyfriends.


Having Chance in my bed is not something I ever though would happen, and I’m not prepared for how it feels to have him in my space.


ARC REVIEW ➞

Maddox and Chance have been enemies since an incident in high school and years later they are still enemies, until one event starts to change things between them and they both realize that maybe the other isn’t so bad.

I loved the back and forth between Maddox and Chance, they despised each other, but there was something between them. You can feel the chemistry that is between them. They are the kind of couple that walks that fine line between love and hate and it just sucks you into their story. I love that the two of them bring out a sweet and caring side in each other.

I loved their story from start to finish. It was a great mix of dislike, heat and so much more.  

If you’re looking for a small town, MM, enemies to lovers romance this is one to check out.
