"Opposites attract in this delightful, sexy romance."

Sexy Thomas Tobin shows up at animal behaviorist Emma Jenkin's practice carrying a small dog in serious need of help. Her sex drive hits overdrive by the time Thomas leaves with the stressed-out dog. She'd like to get back in the dating game after her disastrous marriage, but caution and dedication to rebuilding her practice has put dating at the low end of her priorities. Thomas has just given her a kick-start.

Thomas is trying to solve a murder and the dog might have the clue. That's where Emma comes in. He's willing to follow all of her behavior modification practices, even if they cost a ton and it cramps his style at home. After all, what's a tough guy like himself doing with a dog just a tad larger than a rat, and hairless to boot, if not to solve a murder? Thomas doesn't count on being tempted by Emma. He equals women with emotional pain, and he's not going down that road again. But Thomas doesn't count on Emma being from a different mold. She makes him want to take a chance - a chance at love.

Ms. Donovan blends humor and compassion in this opposites attract story. Sexy and masculine, Thomas fills the bill for the man of your dreams. These two deserve a chance at true love. Delightfully entertaining, Take a Chance on Me is a guaranteed good time.
