It started with Mason breaking Claire’s heart by leaving. She thought they were in the same page after what happened. It was a great night of pleasure and she was sure they shared that connection. But she was wrong.Six months later, Mason was back. He got assigned to go undercover that is pretty much dangerous and speaks a lot about his past – fighting, women, drugs. Some fighters are turning up dead, and it is Mason’s job to solve the mystery. Before he goes into the pit hole, he made a stop. He went to California to Claire. He might not come out of the mission alive, and before (or IF) he dies, he wanted her to know about his feelings.AND HE WAS IN FOR THE FIGHT OF HIS LIFE.Claire moved on with a great guy, Cooper. Although he was near perfect, and even the sex was pretty much amazing, there was still something lacking. He could never spark that intense passion Mason can easily do even with him across the room.NOW THEY ARE GETTING THEIR SECOND CHANCE.But before they get into their happily-ever-after, they must first get out of the mission unscathed and fight their way inside the octagon ring.Here is a girl who really doesn’t have a lot of drama in her body. She’s strong, forgiving, and she does what exactly her heart dictates her to do (most of the times). She’s tough, and stood by her man all throughout the ordeal. She didn’t even waver when the danger came to her side. All she wanted was for Mason to be alive and safe.I loved her when she gave that second chance to him. She knew what she wanted – and she grabbed it wholeheartedly. Of course, she needed Mason to crawl a little. Nevertheless, I loved her character.And there’s Cooper – he was perfect, but her heart wasn’t just cut out for him. She had already given it years ago to Mason. I wish he’d have his own HEA in the near future too!Mason – he’s a god! He might have experienced  the bad side of being rich and famous back in his fighting days but he did a 180 after finding out someone close to him is about to die. He cleaned up his ways and joined the police force. Now, he was given a second chance to once again feel that adrenaline-pumping moment inside the ring.I have always loved books about second chances – and Meant for Me is one great book about it. It’s not just about having the opportunity about having that second chance in love, but in your dreams as well. This book has taught us to NEVER PASS that opportunity when you are offered that chance at whatever circumstances – you have already allowed it to pass once, and it has once again being offered to you – you’d be a fool to turn it down.The thrill of the chase and the unknown had made this book a page turner for me. Set in dual POV, I fell in love with the plot, the character and the suspense, swoon at Mason and the rest of the fighters, and sigh with envy at Claire to have this great, alpha lover in her bed.★ARC Copy was given in exchange for an honest review.★
