Description

He thought she was the one…until she walked away. Now she’s back and he wants her more than ever.

As a former Marine, Xander Kingston’s writing keeps him sane. Bonus? His thrillers made him one of Hollywood’s most desired screenwriters—and also introduced him to a fledgling starlet who broke his heart. With his close-knit family in New York, Xander returned home and found peace. Until Sasha Keaton shows up at his Hamptons retreat. Now an A-Lister, she’s as beautiful as he remembers. And just as dangerous to his heart.

Sasha learned from watching her mother to never sacrifice her dreams for anyone—only to discover how empty life could be without the man she loved. Now cast in Xander’s latest movie, she needs his insight to play the part, but secretly hopes for a second chance.

Xander has built emotional walls to keep Sasha at a distance, but their physical attraction can’t be denied. When a stalker’s threats intensify, Xander moves Sasha into his house to keep her safe. Before long she's back in his bed and making inroads in his life.

But when the danger passes and the movie wraps, Sasha and Xander face a familiar choice—put career first or give love a fighting chance.

    4.5 Stars This is The Kingston Family series book 3 and it features Xander and Sasha. This is a beautiful, sexy, second chance romance.  I can understand why things didn’t work out for the both of them the first time around.  They’ve grown so much since then and are still in love with each other but will circumstances work in their favor this time around? Will her mother and agent interfere? I absolutely love how close the Kingston family is.  I love that this author has woven them all into this series and not in a pushy and invasive manner.  I am super excited to read the next book in this series, which features Dash!

    Love is what we make it to be and we are who we want to be ¿ With all of your life’s love comes many blessings and with that love can conquer the world I know that you know 🧑🏾‍🎄 because 🤰🏽🐬this world is full of hate and jealousy and envy especially from one of my own children 👧 and that’s the love 💕 I don’t have to have it’s what makes me feel like nothing in this 🌎 can brake me not even the fake love ❤️ of a man 👨 that betrays a woman who “loves”God is much more worth living for and loving 🥰 !! I will be amazing way more than you can ever imagine!!!! Life goes on and so do the woman of God’s!!!!🥀🥀

    Wow, Xander and Sasha are volatile. While still in love with each other, they swear to protect themselves from the other for fear of being hurt again. Although I am unsure of who really left who in the beginning, I do know that the reasons behind it were sound if not a little rushed. They have had time to accomplish goals and live life, but will they be able to work together on the new movie? When a stalker enters the picture, Xander jumps in to protector mode, regardless of who is involved. And so the second chance romance begins. But will it be smooth sailing? Is it ever? So many things occur in this book. So many feelings. Love, hurt betrayal, fear, hate, and love again. Oh yeah and lust. I couldn't put this book down because I wanted to know what was going to happen next. Would the stalker get her, would Xander save her, would they say they love each other, would they live happily ever after or would they end up going their separate ways and following their own adventures.
  • Such a charming read

    Just One Chance by Carly Phillips is book 3 in The Kingston Family series and the first I read. I enjoyed reading it and did not feel lost, though I am now excited to go back and read the two previous books in the series. In this one, we have a second chance romance between Xander and Sasha. Xander served in the military and suffers from PTSD. He lives a quiet life close to his family and that keeps him happy. Sasha has always been driven and determined, much to her mother’s happiness. Her one goal was to become a Hollywood star. But in the end that drive broke Xander and Sasha apart years ago. When they met the spark between them was strong, but the wants and needs of the other did not mesh with what the other needed. Now years later Sasha is set to star in one of the movies based on Xander’s books. He wants nothing to do with the woman who broke his heart. But she is back and starring in his movie no matter what he wants. When they come face to face again, the chemistry and desire is still there, but nothing can come if it, right? Maybe if they keep things light and fun until the movie wraps, they can walk away as friends this time. Easy, right? Xander is strong, caring, and protective. Sasha is very driven and determined, but has she truly ever chased what she wanted? Maybe it’s time she does. When Sasha is threatened, all of Xander’s protective instincts come out. Is this their second chance or the final goodbye? I loved Just Once Chance by Carly Phillips. It was sweet, a bit angsty and had so many feels. Happy reading!

    Sasha just accepted the role in Xander Kingston’s next movie. With their previous relationship ending badly can she really do this? Xander couldn’t believe he had to work with Sasha after she broke his heart but one look and he knew he was sunk. Once Xander found out about the stalker Sasha’s safety was all he thought about. With the sparks flying how could they stop their feelings but can it last? Sasha is determined to figure out a way now to convince Xander to take a chance on them!
