Taking Chances (Taking Chances, #1)

This is a story with a lot of twist, turns, lust, loss and especially love -- in many, many forms. I cannot say I loved every event that occurred in this book, however, once I dried my tears and continued reading, I got the HEA, which is my primary motivation for reading romance novels.

There are a lot of characters to fall in love with in the book.

Harper - She applies to a college across the country in order to put a lot of distance between her marine corps father (AKA Sir) and herself. She hopes this distance will allow her to find out who she is or who is meant to be. While enjoying many new experiences, Harper finds herself in a very complicated love triangle. Very complicated and very messy.

Brandon - Super hot, super smart, super sweet, MMA fighter. Brandon and his family had experienced an extraordinary loss, which kept him from really falling in love, until he met Harper.

Chase - Super hot, super artistic, super confusing man-whore brother of her roomie and best friend. Chase liked to party and hook-up with random girls, until he met Harper.

There are many fantastic relationships and interesting dynamics in this book.
Harper and Breanna (the roomie), Harper and Chase, Harper and Brandon, Harper and Chase's housemates, Harper and Sir, Harper and Brandon's family, Harper and Chase's family, Harper and her jar head brothers. There are just so many people and in the end, it is all these relationships that really shape the story.

I will not lie, I shed many tears, but I ended up with a smile.
