Off Chance

Publisher's Summary

He is seeking absolution.

Flynn Caldwell has a hero complex, and it's one of the reasons he joined the New York City Fire Department. He has spent his entire professional career trying to atone for that one person he failed to save. Because if he can do that, then perhaps he can be worthy of love again.

She is seeking escape.

Rowan Page's life is nothing short of a disaster. Always immersed in trouble, she has only herself to depend on. She's determined to pull herself out of this mess and make something of her life, despite the hard years she has lived on the streets of New York.

Together, they have the chance to become complete.

Flynn and Rowan's worlds exist miles apart, but when a chance meeting brings them together, neither of them can deny the instant pull that connects them to each other. What starts as a tiny spark eventually flares into a fire so hot it refuses to be extinguished. For it to work, both of them will need to jump feet first into the flames to see where it takes them, despite the risk of being burned.

This is book five in the Off Series. While certain characters cross over from the Off Books, you do not need to hear the prior books to understand this one. This can be heard as a standalone.

Make Up Your Damn Mind

This was an interesting romance but it was hard to like Rowan. I just couldn't figure out what was so hard about falling for a handsome hero with a heart of gold. It's a good story but it took too long to show the chemistry between these two. I just didn't feel it for most of the story. While I did like this story well enough, so far it's my least favorite.

Again, these narrators did a good job. Matthew Holland nailed that New Jersey accent for Flynn. Charlotte North also did a decent job but sometimes Rowan had a southern accent (since she's from Texas) and sometimes she didn't. But all in all, it was a good listen.

It is worth the credit, but then again I seem to like all the audio books by Sawyer Bennett. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

it was heartbreaking, yet super sweet

so I totally fell in love with Flynn, he was so sweet. Rowan thought she was broken and she almost lost everything because of it. but Flynn showed her what an amazing woman she was by being her friend. it was a great love story, with great narrators. loved the epilogue, would love to hear more about the characters sometimes. I need to know if Ever and Linc have a baby....ugh I loved these characters! great series!!

rowans a brat

Rowan is a brat. somehow dates a drug dealer for months but cant date a nice guy cause v she's scared. bs. not my favorite in this series.

Flynn and Rowan rock

You won’t be disappointed in this book. The series is amazing and the way Ms Bennett carries each book into the next so flawlessly is awesome! Flynn has a hero complex and Rowan is just the girl to help him heal from his past hurt and him Hers. I couldn’t stop listening to it to see what happened next.

Started out as a pretty good story

Started out as a pretty good story but it gets old, fast! Rowan has this sweet, hot fireman wrapped around her pinky and she keeps denying the poor man! Who does that? He’s attentive, kind, gives her all the time in the world and she keeps shutting the poor man down. I kept hoping that he’d find a woman worthy of him. But we all know the ending. Then there’s the epilogue; Rowan goes from not wanting friends, relationships, having major trust issues to discussing with Flynn, her offering up her uterus for surrogacy for Linc and Ever. Just unbelievable. I get the author is trying to show us that Rowan is over her issues but that was over the top and then some. My favorite Off Series book is the one about Nix and Emily’s relationship.

loved it

my husband usually catches bits and pieces of the audibles i listen to, and Flynn had him cracking up whenever he over heard bits and pieces. loved it. great job all around.

Angst! Trust! Sex!

I had only a couple strong problems with this story. Spoilers are going to happen here due to the nature of the story weakness and I'm not sure I recall anyone else wondering WHO SET THE FIRE? And why did she only have one nightmare about it? And, the whole chained to a bed thing. The police dropped it way too fast. No detectives, just the narcotics guys? The framework of the story was way too weak.
Now for the other subtle differences.
I'm pleased the author has toned down her descriptions of male anatomical sizes. Pleasure is pleasure. If every single male isn't hung like a stallion, it's ok. We get it. This is the real world. I'm glad this issue wasn't an issue in this book. We like Flynn for his compassion and personality and his savior complex. Adding a yardstick to the mix would have ruined things, I think. Thanks for that.
And how old was Rowan? Her maturity level went from a feisty 15 to a downright stubborn 7 year old pretty quick in some places. She was hard to like. It took some work to see what he saw in her.
It's not a bad story. But it's not her best. It's a good part of the OFF series to pull things together for the other couples though. And to see Flynn get his heart out and lay it on the line for someone.

The very best!

I absolutely love this story. Hands down the very, very best. Buy, buy, buy! It will not disappoint. It's a full story from beginning to end and the the characters are complete. What a gem!
