Gwen
Stevens had a privileged life until her father spoke three little words that
turned her world upside down. “You’re cut off.”
Broke and desperate, Gwen is forced to accept a waitressing job,
but this glimmer of hope has a price. As if being a cocktail waitress isn’t bad
enough, she has to do it in a dive bar called The Den, and her bad luck doesn’t
stop there. She also needs to deal with the new owner, a blue-eyed,
self-righteous ass determined to make her life miserable.
Liam
Sinclair walked away from the entitlement and obligation his family planned for
him, vowing to make his own way in the world…
Adjusting to life as a new business owner, Liam has experienced
more than his fair share of setbacks. When his only waitress breaks her leg,
his sister takes it upon herself to hire a replacement—a spoiled,
self-indulgent hothead with too much makeup and more than enough attitude. Gwen
represents the world he’s trying to escape, a world of excess and greed that he
was never cut out for.
Appearances
can be deceiving, and first impressions aren’t always right…
Despite their apparent differences, the tension between them turns
to a fiery passion that neither of them can resist. Together they find balance
and learn to appreciate the simpler things in life. But Gwen soon discovers
that old habits die hard, and one mistake is all it takes to ruin everything.
Forgiveness
must be earned, but even a villain deserves a chance at redemption…

My review: 4 stars!
As I began the book and got to know Gwen, I was really concerned,,, she was such a spoiled brat that I wasn't sure she could be redeemed! Luckily, Samatha Harris did an excellent job with Gwen's journey and by the end of the book I was definitely a fan of Gwen's. Liam was such a great guy, just an all around excellent character. I enjoyed their witty banter and the friendship that developed between them before they explored their romantic attraction.
Although this is book 3 in the Madison Square series, it can definitely be read alone- although I am planning on reading books 1 and 2, I did not have time in schedule to do that before I read Chance at Redemption.
Excerpt:
“What’s
this?”
“Uniform,”
he said. “If you’re gonna work here you’re gonna have to look the part.”
I
held the shirt out in front of me as my face twisted in disgust. It was at
least two sizes too big with The Den written in an old timey script that was
meant to look like a bottle of Jack Daniels.
“I
can’t wear this,” I scoffed.
Liam
turned back to his paperwork. “You can and you will.”
I
considered showing him my middle finger but thought better of it and turned on
my heel heading to the bathroom to change.
As
I passed by Sam, I spotted a pair of scissors tucked into a jar of pens by the
door. I stopped and held the shirt out in front of me, a wicked smile spread
across my face as an idea came to mind.
When
I came out of the bathroom, Liam was counting cash at the register when I
sauntered up behind him.
“What
do you think?” I said showing off my creation by turning in a slow circle so he
could get the full effect.
Liam
turned his head toward me, his eyes going wide as he took me in. “What the fuck
did you do?”
“What?
You don’t like it?” I asked, playing coy.
“You
destroyed it.” His mouth said ruined but the look in his eyes showed his
approval even though he’d never admit it. Every inch of my exposed skin tingled
under his gaze sending a current of static across my skin and straight between
my thighs. I liked that he was looking, I liked it a lot.
“I
improved it.” I cut off both sleeves and the collar so the shirt hung low on my
shoulders and gathered the extra fabric in a knot on my hip, for a little bit
of midriff action.
“You
can’t wear that,” he snapped.
I
smiled and reached for a rag to start wiping down the tables. “I can and I
will.”

stories that she would want to read.
