About this ebook

He thought she was the one…until she walked away. Now she’s back and he wants her more than ever.

As a former Marine, Xander Kingston’s writing keeps him sane. Bonus? His thrillers made him one of Hollywood’s most desired screenwriters—and also introduced him to a fledgling starlet who broke his heart. With his close-knit family in New York, Xander returned home and found peace. Until Sasha Keaton shows up at his Hamptons retreat. Now an A-Lister, she’s as beautiful as he remembers. And just as dangerous to his heart.

Sasha learned from watching her mother to never sacrifice her dreams for anyone—only to discover how empty life could be without the man she loved. Now cast in Xander’s latest movie, she needs his insight to play the part, but secretly hopes for a second chance.

Xander has built emotional walls to keep Sasha at a distance, but their physical attraction can’t be denied. When a stalker’s threats intensify, Xander moves Sasha into his house to keep her safe. Before long she's back in his bed and making inroads in his life.

But when the danger passes and the movie wraps, Sasha and Xander face a familiar choice—put career first or give love a fighting chance.

Xander and Sasha have a second chance at love when they end up having to work together. I was intrigued by Xander's story since he was first introduced and I was glad to see him get his story. Both The chemistry was palpable and they both go through a growth as they reconnect and realize what went wrong before. It was sweet, sexy, and scary at times with Sasha being in danger. Loved the family and everyone coming together.

This was another good addition to the Kingston Family series, although it isn't my favorite. It took a bit for me to feel connected to the main characters, especially Sasha. However, once I got over that hump, I did enjoy Xander and Sasha's story. Aside from the these trying to figure out how to move forward and see if their relationship is worth revisiting, there's a bit of suspense thrown into the mix courtesy of a stalker intent on Sasha. This leads to some close proximity between them, which leads to an opportunity to realize important things. Overall, Just One Chance was an entertaining four-starred read.

Just One Chance is the third book in The Kingston Family series and it was a great addition. Sasha and Xander met several years ago when she was first getting her start with her acting career. She was very impressionable back then and she had many people telling her what to do and she had a lot to learn and grow from. She and Xander definitely connected, but they weren't meant to be together at that point in time. Now a few years have passed and Sasha is going to be staring in the movie that is based on the novel that Xander has written. While Xander is anything but happy about the casting, he's managed to put his feelings aside to move the filming forward. And, when there is a threat to Sasha that makes itself known, Xander's protective instincts are on full display. Will these two get their second chance and a fairytale ending? I really enjoyed how both characters grew throughout the book. It was great to see how they formed a stronger bond and how they loved and respected one another.
