Abbi Glines brings it again. 
 Grant has been a personal favorite of mine since Fallen Too Far. For the first time in his life, he is captivated by a woman. And he isn't quite sure how to handle that. After that shocking moment in Simple Perfection, Grant is afraid to feel deeply about anyone, to put himself in the position he sees Bethy in. As a result he distances himself from Harlow, but soon realizes it might be too late to let her go. 
 Harlow has skated on the edges of Rosemary for a few books now. As Nan's half sister and Kiro's daughter, she has appeared at group functions, but most of her time has been spent living in L.A. Nan hates her, Kiro dotes on her. She is quiet, shy, and tries to stay away from the drama created by her sister. 
 Because this is his first attempt at having a girlfriend, Grant has a lot of learning to do. I spent most of the first half of the book shaking my head at his actions, but think I must have been expecting him to be a jerk because it wasn't surprising but it also didn't make me not like him. When things start feeling serious, he runs. And runs right back to his pattern of random women. Once Blaire and Rush have a heart to heart with him, he starts to figure things out and sort his stuff. Or at least, it looks like he does. 
 Harlow has her own learning curve as well. She doesn't trust Grant. Knowing he was with Nan makes it that much harder for Harlow to be comfortable with where she stands. But for all the time she's spent holed up in her room, she's got some backbone and watching her stand up to Nan's cattiness was entertaining. She is normally such a sweet girl, that I couldn't help feel for her every time her heart was hurt in everything going on with Grant, Nan, and her family. 
 We meet Mase, Kiro's son, for the first time in this book and I couldn't help love him also. He is super protective of Harlow, continually reminding her that he is only a phone call away. She is the only sibling he had much contact with growing up and they have stayed close over the years. 
 As the first of 2 books for Grant and Harlow, Take a Chance does end on a cliff. In classic cliffhanger tradition, the point the book ends is painful, especially at that moment you realize that's really the end. This was so full of family drama, the highs and lows, and a main couple that I loved, that I will gladly wait for the second book to learn the end of Grant and Harlow's story. 
 Thanks to Abbi Glines and Atria for providing me with an arc in exchange for an honest review.
