Title: Last Chance
Series: A Second Chances Novel
Author: L.P. Dover
Genre: Romantic Suspense
One last chance.
That's all Luke Collins, local bad boy and motocross champion, has to not only find his redemption, but win back the girl he lost. He'll stop at nothing to make her his, even if it means playing dirty.
Lara Jacobs doesn't want her heart broken again and refuses to give Luke a second chance. After he left her after their one night stand, she ran right into the arms of her close friend, Grayson Moore. He's always loved her, and he's determined to make her see he's what she needs.
However, in life nothing goes as planned and tragedy strikes. After a fatal accident nearly claims Lara's life, she's left inside a world she can't remember. Her memories are gone, including those of the men vying for her heart. Grayson sees her loss as a possibility to forget her love for Luke, but Luke sees it as an opportunity to start over. All he wants is one last chance to show her that she's the one he's been in love with all along.
*** An updated version of One Taste has been included in Last Chance with all new scenes. I highly recommend reading it again. ***
4 Stars
This is the continuation of the Second Chances Series but can be read as a standalone. It features Lara, Luke and Grayson. I was really excited for this one, especially after One Taste, which was a novella shedding light on why Lara despises Luke so much.
I love Luke's character, I've enjoyed watching him grow as a person throughout this series. He knows he made a mistake, and he's focused on becoming the type of man Lara deserves. When tragedy strikes, Luke decides to make the most of his second chance by starting over with Lara. He really is a sweet guy, who just panicked.
Lara has tried to hate Luke, but no matter how hard she tries she can't deny the feelings she has for him. Her emotions are all over the map, she's at war with her heart and her head. She's been with Grayson ever since Luke broke her heart over a year ago. Grayson put her back together, loved her, took care of her. She loves Grayson, and he without a doubt loves her.
As I said earlier I was super excited for this storyline, I loved Lara, Luke and Grayson. I've always had a soft spot for Grayson because of his connection to Grace and her dead husband. I loved that he was getting to fulfill his lifelong dream with his former sister-in-law. He seemed like a really sweet guy. I wanted him to find his real true love as well!
For the most part I loved this book, my small issue was how the personality of someone changed so drastically from one book to the next. I had such high hopes for all the characters on this story and I was devastated when I learned the truth. However, this one thing will not stop me from continuing to read L.P.'s work in the future!!

“Why can’t I go in there and tell her I’m sorry? She needs to hear it from me.”
“No, she doesn’t because she won’t believe it. You need to do a lot more than tell her you’re sorry. Actions speak louder than words. And until you can show everyone you’ve changed, it’s best you stay away from her. It’ll only make things worse.”
“What if I go in there anyway?” I questioned, crossing my arms over my chest. I didn’t want to fight Evan, but I was getting desperate. I needed her forgiveness, for her to know I never meant to hurt her.
Evan huffed and closed his eyes. “You’ll have to go through me first. Lara doesn’t want to see you. She’s with someone else now.”
It was as if someone had sucker punched me in the gut, the air being ripped out of my lungs as I took the hit. Summer groaned and I glared at her. “Is that true?”
“Yes, but I don’t see how that is any of your business. She’s happy, so leave her be.”
“Fuck that,” I shouted. “I’m going inside.” I tried to push past Evan, but he blocked me. We faced off with each other, the tension rising.
Summer stepped between us with a hand on each of our chests. “Guys, this is stupid. You’re friends.”
I scoffed and backed away. “That’s where I beg to differ,” I said, glaring at Evan. “If our situations were reversed and it was Summer inside, I’d let you go to her. I would give you the benefit of the doubt and accept that you’ve changed. But you’re not going to do that, are you?”
Evan’s face softened and he sighed. “I would, brother, but this night is special for Summer and Lara. The last thing they need is you and Grayson battling it out. I have no doubt he’ll come after you if you go in there.”
I faltered, the anger welling in my chest. “Fucking Grayson? That’s who she’s with?”
“Can you blame her? He was there for her, after everything you put her through,” Summer said.
Peering down at her, I hoped she could see the determination in my face. “You tell her it’s not over. I’m not going to give up.” With those final words, I jumped in my truck and sped out of the parking lot. The thought of Grayson touching her made me so goddamn furious. I didn’t care if she was with him . . . I wasn’t going to give up.
