A bodyguard romance, with a splash of friends to lovers, and a whole lotta angst.
From The Chance blurb:
Keep him safe.
That’s my only assigned job as the bodyguard for the drummer of As Above. I know that doesn’t include sharing space and secrets, but it works for us. For the band. For the security company I work for.
For my client.
Until it doesn’t.
Until I want … more?
But I can’t want more without losing everything I have.
And I can’t go through that again.
Mac
My name’s Mac Thompson, and I’m in love with my best friend—wait, no. My best friend is my bodyguard—no, wait. That’s not supposed to happen, either.
Let me try again.
I’m Mac, and I play drums in the band that my brothers and I created out of my Ma’s garage when we were teens. We’ve made it big enough that people know my name. That our music is played in clubs and stages alike.
I’ve seen the world.
Played to thousands.
Yet, the only thing I’ve ever pined for … is him.
The Chance is an MM rock star romance where best friends become strangers who become lovers, and includes topics not meant for audiences under the age of eighteen. This is the fourth book in the As Above series but can be read as a complete standalone.
Angel's review:
Jordan and Mac's story at its very core is full of love. Mac's been in love with Jordan for years but has kept it to himself since his best friends is straight, or so he thought. Jordan on the other hand knows he feels some type of way about Mac but doesn't know how to put it into words, which leaves both men uncertain about the other's feelings. Throughout the course of this story we see both men go through different journeys of self growth, and self discovery.
If you want an angsty read that features a bodyguard/best friends to lovers romance then this book might be your next read! While I did like this book by the end of it, the constant back and forth between Mac and Jordan left me feeling uninterested in some parts of the story. Both of these men definitely needed to communicate better with each other, however, Mac not even letting Jordan try to talk and explain how he felt before he just sent him away, was a bit frustrating. I do understand the purpose of those angsty moments, I just think there could've been less of the hot 'n cold between these two men and it still would've been a great story. Other than that though I did like the story. Jordan may appear gruff towards others but he's an absolute teddy bear. The ending of the book where he shows Mac his surprise was so cute!
I liked that Mac and Jordan's relationship was different, and I loved the side characters! Especially Peach, he was awesome! Overall a good book from a new-to-me author.
