Review:
Her One Chance is filled with non-stop action! I felt like I was reading a Reacher book. Porter’s description definitely fit Reacher’s giant personality so…yezzzzz I liked the visuals.
This was the first book I’ve read by Molly Carrington and I loved the fast paced thrill ride she took me on. There was never a moment to stop and breath as this book kept me guessing and kept the pages turning.
When we first meet the heroine, Cleo Moralis, she isn’t just having bad luck, she’s being targeted by an unknown person. However, she’s highly in denial, which is sort of hilarious when confronted by Porter Cartwright, who loves to point out that her job is literally to investigative crimes. She’s stubborn, smart, and I’ll circle back to stubborn again, but that’s more in tune with just being independent. She’s a great FMC and perfect for Porter.
These two have instant chemistry and an instant comradery with the similar investigative fields that they both work in. It doesn’t mean that they don’t butt heads, it just means that it ramps up the heat when they do. 😉
Porter is dominant, but not in an off-putting way. He’s ex-military who now runs his own company and he’s a man who knows how to lead and it shows in his actions. This was the Reacher vibe I felt from him; smart, controlled, a man who sees the big picture, and very likeable. His company is filled with great secondary characters as well, which says a lot about the man who hired them.
The suspense kept me guessing right up until the end reveal. So that’s a huge plus in my book when reading suspense.
Her One Chance has it all; suspense, great banter, good chemistry, plot twists, and fun secondary characters.

Synopsis:
Cleo Moralis is being hunted by a madman.
As a kid, she had learned early and fast that anyone would screw you over if the price was right. She fought long and hard to escape the clutches of a childhood that almost drug her under. Now she is a top investigator with the DC’s District Attorney’s office and feels proud of the difference she makes by helping to put away the worst society has to offer. Except somebody wants her off the case. Permanently.
Porter Cartwright owns Falcon Security and Protection, the most successful security and investigative agency on the East Coast. So he is exasperated by Cleo’s refusal of his help at every turn. He is proud of the elite team of operatives he has built, but he isn’t sure if they will be enough to stop his worst fear. Losing someone else he cares about.
When he steps in to save her from a killer bent on her destruction, he must convince Cleo that he won’t be another in a long line of people to let her down.
Can he convince her before a killer completes his mission?
