I've read a few of Lynda Chance's books and this is the first book I'm reviewing of her's and the overall consensus is that all of her books are the same character just with different names. The plot of each book is the same as well. "Young 20 something damsel in distress, poor and innocent, meets uber rich, sexy hero, who has an uncontrollable obsessive and possessive streak a mile long and displays the uber possessive streak towards the heroine 24 hours after meeting her, and sweeps her off her feet and makes all her worries fade away.*pained sigh as I'm writing this* The story of Jessica and Connor was really no story at all. Jessica is a 20 Something college student who has had the mother of all bad luck since she was born; her mother is in jail for any number of financial frauds including ruining Jessica's credit by the time she was 15 yrs old and Jessica has had to go it alone since then, raising herself and putting herself through college with scholarship, but in her sophomore/junior she looses her scholarship because doesn't have the GPA required to keep the academic scholarship; because her credit is so bad she can't take out student loans. She is desperate to find away to continue her education but doesn't have the financial means to do so. She over hears two girls at a party discussing that they are both considering becoming "sugar babies" to "sugar daddies" so that they can make some extra money. Jessica immediately takes it into her head that she should consider exploring this option.Enters "Connor" who is an uber rich and handsome software developer who has been surfing the net for a no strings attached sexual relationship, were he is willing to pay the right woman to be is exclusive sexual partner for the duration of a contracted time of his choosing. Connor has some hang ups of his own about the death of his wife of 5 yrs, the author eludes to this through out the story but never spits out exactly what the issues is until 5 pages before the story ends and then in the same breath tries to wrap it up with a bunch of ridiculous mush.There was absolutely no depth to either Connor or Jessica, he was a jerk and she was an immature crybaby that basically didn't have a clue about what she wanted or what Connor wanted and vice versa for Connor as well. The whole book consisted of luke warm and recycled sex scenes that Ms. Chance has already used over and over again in her other books with no deviation what so ever. This book was a cut, copy and paste of all her other plot-less books.I have tried giving Ms. Chance numerous chances (no pun intended)to work on plot and character development with each story I spend my money on, and she has disappointed me every time. Unfortunately, this is where I get off the fan train of this author. I hope that she takes some of these not so favorable reviews and applies it to bettering her craft.Wish I could've had something more positive to say. Happy Reading!
