Meant for Me by L.P. Dover - Review


Book Tour

After a night of raw passion with the man Claire O’Briene had been secretly admiring for years, she thought their time together had come once and for all. Fate had finally brought them back to each other, but unfortunately nothing had changed. He was still the same man who ran away from relationships. Against his better judgment, Mason Bradley gave in to the temptation and allowed himself one night with the one woman he’d been too afraid to want … too afraid to need.
Four months after leaving Claire and regretting every minute of it, Mason gets called in for an undercover mission that’s not only dangerous, but brings back a past he spent years trying to forget. A past of fighting … of getting in the ring and using his fists to get what he wanted: money, women, and drugs. Now there are fighters turning up dead, and it’s Mason’s job to find out the truth.Knowing he might not come out of the mission alive, Mason seeks out Claire to tell her how he truly feels, only to find another man competing for her love as well. Fighting is what he’s good at, and for once he will be fighting not only for justice … but for love.

My Thoughts: Meant for Me is the third Second Chances book, but it reads great as a stand alone. The book offered a lot more than just a second chance at love. There was an unsolved serial killer case that needed to be unraveled. I loved all the intrigue that added to the plot of the story. It was exciting, sexy, and romantic.

A large portion of this story takes place in Las Vegas, and I loved the descriptions that went along with it. Books set in Vegas tend to offer a lot of glitz and bright lights. Meant for Me did the same thing, but it also looked into some of the grungier places.

I loved Mason and Claire. They both have a wonderful sense of honor that I liked. Mason is strong and a protector through and through. Claire feels that same need to protect and care for people. I enjoyed watching them both grow in the story, and I loved the dynamics between their stubborn attitudes.

This book has a lot of great things going for it. There are murders to solve, fighting, love, and some incredibly hot love scenes. Meant for Me was a good read, and now I want to go back and read the first two Second Chances books.
