I'll Take a Chance is the second book in the Running Into Love series.  And I have to say it was a decent read, but I expected more.  I almost feel like it is a step down from book one, Take A Chance.  I love the concept of these stories.  That they literally are running into the ones that they are meant to be with.  And this story does not lack when it comes to the chance meeting between Amelia and Kyle.I'll Take A Chance, picks up right where Take A Chance ends.  Amelia is rushing to the hospital to make it in time to meet her new niece or nephew, when she crashes into the handsome ob/gyn that just delivered her brothers baby girl Abbey.  When Amelia cuts her hand, while trying to pick up glass from the broken vase that she dropped, Kyle steps into help her.  He escorts her to the ER and makes sure that she is taken care of.  Is it love at first sight?  I think it could be.Amelia has sworn off all men.  Roger her ex treated her so badly in the end, that she has been led to believe that she is broken.  After breaking down and confessing to Willow about her insecurities, she decides to take a chance on Kyle.  What she slowly starts to find out is that Kyle has fears of his own.  His twin sister has been missing for the past two years and he has run out of places to look.  She disappeared after a tragedy happened one night at work.  And he is hesitant to talk to Amelia about it.I am going to just put this all out there,  I found Kyle and Amelia's relationship happened to fast.  They both confided in one another way to quickly and I found their instant devotion to one another a little to cutesy.  I felt that the story was fairly well written, but just lacked something.  It was filled with a bit of a mystery and we do get that answers needed to understand Kyle's sister disappearance.  But there was just something that was not there.  I lacked the punch that I needed, to see it step up and above book one.  I was glad to see a continuation on Asher and Willow's story wrapped into this book as well.  I do enjoy Annalisa Nicole's writing style and will continue to read this series.  I want to see where it goes from here.  All in all a decent read, just did not meet my expectations.
