Publisher's summary

On the trail of a vicious criminal, agent Chance Mackenzie found the perfect bait for his trap: Sunny Miller. So Chance made himself the only man she could trust—and then arranged for her long-missing father to find out about them.

What Chance hadn't foreseen was that Sunny had reasons of her own for hiding from her father—and now Chance's deception had brought them both one step closer to the end of everything they held dear….

Chance and Sunny

Love the narrators voice. Made the story come to life and brought humor to the story.

ANOTHER GREAT LINDA HOWARD BOOK

I thought Chance McKenzie was one of my favorite heros. Linda makes her characters so true to life. The plot was great and kept me reading well into the night to finish and see the outcome. I only hope this is NOT the end of the McKenzie family. I especially like the ending when everyone gets to meet with everyone else in the McKenzie family and how they all help each other in time of need. I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite from this series. I love them all.

Not bad, not Great

Linda Howard knows how to write. I highly enjoy her books, this one however, seemed a bit rushed. It was good overall, but qhat made it hard was the narrator. I couldn't get into the book, at times her voice was too distracting.

Gum???

I hate to hear the reader chewing gum. In my opinion it ruins the performance.

Recommended

I'm so sad, this is the last story in the series and I'm so not ready to say good-bye. Chance, in my opinion has always been a wild card. His biggest blessing as well as challenge is his love and devotion to all things MacKenzie. He can stand tall with pride for he shows himself to be more than up to the task of standing with this family. His story is so like him and so worth telling.

As is every story in this series, A Game of Chance can and does stand on its own. However, it is greatly enriched by the other stories when read in order.

Highly recommended

Loved it.

I loved this book and the series. I am so sad that this is the last in the series. I will definitely be checking for more books by Linda Howard.

Ruined A Perfectly Good Book

This was a good book but when you have a female reader with a SWEET.....SWEET girl voice read it you just ruin the book. Chance was an undercover agent not so sweet person. Reader is ruining the book. Why couldn't you have gotten Dennis Boutsikaris who read all the rest and was wonderful. This reader has just ruined the book. Good God she reads so sweetly. WOW she stated. YUCK.

Good Book

I have wanted this book on audio since I read the paperback. I agree with the other reviewer. Why have a woman do the narration. Why not use Dennis Boutsikaris - he narrated 3 other Mackenzie books, at least that way you would have the same voices. This Narrator may be okay but this was not the book for her. She was not terrible, but if I didn't already love the characters it would have made the experience worse than it had to be.

I was so excited it was on audio I forgot to check to see who the narrator was and was very surprised when it was a female. To have Zane, Chance and Wolfe read by a female; hard to take. The only thing that saved the book is it is a good story and it has the entire family in the book. Those that have followed the Mackenzie family will be happy to revisit the family.

The long wait for this book to finally be on audio was a bit disappointing with the narration, but it left me wanting the story of the Mackenzies to continue. It was fun to see how Chance succumbed to love, marriage and a baby. I know Linda Howard said she didn't think she would do anymore on this series because she couldn't bear to kill off Wolfe or Mary. She is right that would be horrible, but I think there is more to tell without doing that. I am sure she can find another story in this family saga to come up with two or three more books without killing any of the core family members. There seems to be so much more to adventure and tell about the Mackenzies their wives and children.

If you have not listened to the other books you won't be too surprised with the narration, however, you will want to listen to all of the books to get the whole story and understand the family dynamic. It starts with Mackenzie's Mountain. Don't listen to the abridged version to me they left out too much and it changed the story. I read the books and listened to all of them. The unabridged versions are the best unless of course you read the books.

i enjoy audio books they remind me of old radio

Would you consider the audio edition of A Game of Chance to be better than the print version?
