Smittened!! Yes, I am totally smittened with Jessica Prince’s latest release, Chance Encounters. This being the first book that I have read from this author has me scrambling on what other books of Jessica that I need to get my greedy hands on. To say that I love Chance Encounters is beyond an understatement because I absolutely LOVED everything about this book. It was the book that brought a genuine smile to my face and had me wishing for my very own Chance Hoffman.

Melany Fitzgerald has a five year crush on a co-worker. The problem is that co-worker hasn’t noticed at all. He practically doesn’t even know her name. Melany is what you could consider that sexy woman who has an adorable awkward and nerdy personality. She hides behind clothes that does nothing for her figure and also lack of self-esteem has always been her downfall since she grew up being made fun of and lacked love and support from her mother.
So when Melany meets her boss fiancee’s friend, Chance Hoffman, they easily started a friendship. It was easy for Melany to be around Chance as he always made her feel at ease. And so when Melany asked Chance to help her get the attention of her crush, operation Melany transformation began.

As Chance helped Melany, he began to start have feelings for her. His swan transformed to the most beautiful swan and she didn’t even know it. Slowly, he helped her gained confidence and showed her real honest love. It was only a matter of time for Melany to notice Chance and forget her crush. And so when Chance and Melany decided to cross that invisible line of friends with benefits, what happens when they both realized that they want the same thing. More than friendship. But what happens when Melany’s crush finally starts noticing her? Will Chance even have a chance to compete with Melany’s crush that she had for five years? Or will Melany discover that happily ever after does exist and it’s about time she takes a chance on Chance?
Chance Encounters is an absolute gem of a read. It was sweet, playful, adorably awkward and yet had that innocence of love that I found endearing. Melany is one of those heroines that you can’t helped but love. Although she had that innocence about her, she still had the fiery backbone. And as for Chance Hoffman, all there is left for me to say is Sigh….I love him. Seriously, I love his character so much. He saw Melany for who she was. He saw her beauty when no one saw it. So if you are looking for a story that was fun and sexy then I highly recommend you to read this book. Take a chance with this author and book because I most definitely did and loved every moment of it.
