One Little Chance by Rebecca Jo Jackson: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 





The Book


It's hard to avoid your ex, or any lingering feelings, when you live in a small town like Sweet River.

Sophia Rogers moves back to town the day before Christmas, after eight years away. And, of

course, runs into her childhood sweetheart, Jordan Silk. minutes after her suitcase hits the

pavement.

And again, on New Years Eve. And again, when they both find themselves at their favorite old spots. And again, and again.

Over the year that follows, Sophia starts to realize, it's not that life keeps throwing them back together-- it's that she never wants it to pull them apart again. Getting a second chance with your first love is rare as snow in December in their small town in Texas, but that doesn't stop Sophia's heart from hoping, it doesn’t seem to stop Jordan from reaching back for her either.

Book Review

One Little Chance takes place in the same small town of Sweet River as the series of that name, but can absolutely be enjoyed just fine as a standalone. 

This was such a sweet story filled with second chances, small town vibes and all the Christmas cheer. If you love Hallmark-like Christmas stories, chances are this will be right up your alley too. I love second chance romances, and this one was done very well... it was never that they weren't right for each other, but they needed the time apart to make mistakes, grow and learn what they truly wanted in life... and when they find their way back to one another? So worth the wait. The story alternates between two timelines, just a year apart. Admittedly, this took me a little bit to get used to and I wasn't sure about it at first... but I think it really was such a perfect way to tell this story. As the story goes on and the gap between those timelines grows smaller, I found myself even more intrigued to figure out how they were going to get from point A to point B in that time between. (I can't say too much more without spoilers, but it'll make sense once you read it!) If you're looking for a quick Christmas read with lots of heart, this is absolutely one not to be missed. 

One Little Chance is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language.
