"Do you like being ignored?"Another pause, one hand flinching on his knee. "It's what I know."What a gem!  There are several reasons why this Amazon freebie might not have been for me!  First off it's very, very short, secondly the hero is not a jaded alpha and thirdly there is no steam.  But none of that really matters because this poignant story has Kai and he was so very, very special that in under 100 pages he managed to touch my heart and put tears in my eyes.Chance is the story about two close friends, Mary and Kai who share the commute to and from work every day until one day when Mary discovers that Kai has been keeping secrets - some touching and sweet others heartbreaking...HERO: Kai/25-30 years/research assistant - pharmaceutical company/Dark hair/dark eyes.Four words to describe Kai: lovable, sweet, introverted and private.HEROINE: Mary/25-30 years/Bridal shop employee.Four words to describe Mary: insightful, endearing spunky and loyal.Chance, albeit short, gave a glimpse into Kai's and Mary's lives, friendship and future.  It starts off focusing on the dynamics of their friendship, but quickly evolves into much more.  Memorable and sweet Kai and his secrets drove this story.Beautifully told it's a story about life and about making the best out the cards one was dealt.  My only regret would be that their story wasn't longer -not because it did not have a HFN, because it did! - but because I wanted more of Kai!  He moved me, their story touched me and I am recommending!"Don't leave."He turned his eyes up, half-focused, as she stood. "I still have to say things to you."***Hero rating: 4.5 starsHeroine rating: 4 starsSex scenes rating: N/AStoryline concept rating: 4 starsStorytelling skills rating: 4.5 starsStory ending rating: 4 stars************************************************Overall rating: 4 starsWould I re-read this book: Yes!Would I read future books by this author: Yes.
