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. ***

Review by Lisa G: 4 Stars

This was the first book I’ve read by L.P. Dover, while I had a difficult time connecting with the characters, I did enjoy the story. I’ll admit a few times I felt it was over the top a bit – yet I also had to know what would happen. This was a second chance love story – Luke Collins, bad boy and motocross champion had a one night stand with Lara Jacobs – they’ve been friends for, well, ….forever! Lara has ALWAYS had a crush on Luke, when she finally gave in and then Luke blew her off she was heartbroken. What Lara didn’t know was Luke went head of heels in love with her and this scared him – he didn’t know what to do – so instead of manning up, he took the easy way out and ran from his feelings – right into the arms of other women. Lara continued to watch this happen and decided she needed to “fake it until she makes it” and pretended to be happy and not have a care in the world. Except she did care – too much, as did Luke. When Luke FINALLY decided to man up – Lara was engaged to her friend and co-owner of her restaurant the Tavern, Grayson Moore.

This is honestly when the story became a suspense – Luke was fighting for her, Grayson was fighting for her and a whole bunch of shocking stuff happens in between. The story was written well, I did like the characters, just did not connect with them – I wanted to feel and unfortunately I just didn’t. With that being said, the storyline was solid, the writing was great – kept a nice pace and I didn’t catch myself getting bored.

4 Stars for me!

Shannon P’s Review:

Review of Last Chance by L.P. Dover

This is a second-chance romance that involves Luke, the bad-boy motocross champion and Lara, his ex’s best friend. Did I mention that they also shared a one-night stand? Within the first couple of chapters, we all know that Luke did not handle this one-night stand in the very best way. Determined to move on with her life and protect her heart, Lara rebounds with Grayson. However, fate intervenes and throws a wrench into everyone’s plans. After a near fatal accident causes Lara to lose all memories of the past several years, things are not as they seem. Will she choose Grayson, the one who says all the right things? Or will she choose Luke, the one who makes her feel all the right things? Who can she trust with her heart?

This was a quick and easy read, although a little rushed at times. I loved the motocross aspect of the storyline. I give Last Chance 3.5 stars.

“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.
