One Hot Chance

Hot Brits, Book 1

By: Anna Durand

Narrated by: Shane East, Vanessa Edwin

I am cursed. One Friday night, after a horrible day at work, I decide to cheer myself up with a one-night stand with a hot stranger. The guy who propositions me has a scorching bod and a sexy British accent. Cheered up? Check. Until Monday morning, when I walk into the office, and there he is.

My one-nighter is my boss's ex-husband. And her newest business partner.

Raisa Volkov is the toughest, most successful divorce attorney in New York and the woman every aspiring female lawyer wants to be. As her paralegal, I do whatever she tells me to do. And guess what? She just ordered me to help her win back her ex. Lucky me.

Trouble is, Chance Dixon doesn't want his ex-wife. He wants me. My brain warns me to say no, but my body has other, much naughtier ideas.

I'm so getting fired.

One Hot Chance is the first book in the Hot Brits series by Anna Durand, best-selling author of the Hot Scots series.

Great start to a Series!

This first book in Anna Durand’s Hot Brits Series was great! I loved the the chemistry between the characters. The book starts with a bang and then the romance blooms until of course that sudden moment. Shane East is brilliant as always , and Vanessa Edwin’s male Brit voice is spot on! You will not be disappointed! Ready for the next in the series.

Yummy!!!

You know it's going to be a good book when you are highlighting lines in the first chapter and hitting rewind just to hear Vanessa Edwin say "...silky British accent and a husky voice that makes me wanna crawl onto his lap..." YES!!!!! Anna Durand knows what to write and who to hire to narrate such fabulous lines. Vanessa absolutely captivated me as Elena as the character's unlucky streak in life just keeps on rolling. I wasn't expecting some of the twists that Ms Durand gave to this cute plot with adorable characters. And oh the yummy things that Shane East gets to say to us as Chance made sure I would be putting this on the "Need A Happy Repeat Listen" pile for the future. Now I'm anxiously awaiting the next books in the Hot Brits series!

Hot and sweet!

Chance and Elena met in a bar, had a seriously hot encounter in an elevator, and as they were progressing to a night of more hot encounters, Chance gets a call and has to leave. Disappointed at not having more time with her British hookup, Elena goes on about her life. When she sees Chance in her boss’ office, they’re both caught by surprise. Turns out Chance is Elena’s boss’ ex-husband, and she enlists Elena to help her get him back.

I loved how Chance and Elena met, and as they get to know each other both professionally and personally, their feelings grow. There are a few twists, and some really hot scenes between Chance and Elena.

Shane East and Vanessa Edwin did a wonderful job narrating. This is my book by Anna Durand. I really enjoyed it, and can’t wait to get to the next one in this series.

Funny romance

This is new author for me and I will look for more of her stuff. This is funny office romance about Elena having a one night stand only to come to work and find out it was with her boss's ex husband Chance. Now her boss wants Elena to work with Chance and help her get her ex back. Chance wants nothing to do with his ex wife and only wants Elena. This is a romantic comedy with good sex scenes. I am a huge fan of the british accent. So with Shane East being the male narrator is a definite plus. The female narrator Vanessa Edwin is newer to me and I liked her.

Fun and very flirty

This is such a fun and mostly lighthearted story. There is sooo much flirty behavior and lots and lots of sexy times. The characters were really relatable and aside from just a couple “unlikely” plot twists, the story flowed very smoothly. (But I did like the first “ unlikely” scenario...a girl in a bar wanting an escape of a trist with a handsome stranger! And make him a hot Brit...SCORE!!!) It was just a nice escape and really easy and enjoyable to listen to.
And of course you can’t really ask for better narration than from Shane East and Vanessa Edwin. They are both just wonderful. They really brought the characters to life and made you feel like you were watching or almost living the story as opposed to just listening to it. In my opinion (and it is only my opinion) Vanessa just used a little too high pitched a voice for Elena. I get that she was supposed to be sweet, but it just didn’t ring quite true with the character description.

Hot!

Such a great story that I could absolutely not stop listening to it. This author is new to me so I will definitely be checking out more of her books. Both narrators were absolutely fantastic and perfect for the characters.

Short, steamy story with a side of feelings

Don’t get me wrong, I liked it. But don’t expect deep character development or complicated plot. If you’re here for the sexy, though, you’ll get what you want: short, steamy story with a side of feelings.

The drama was at minimum level, but not absent completely. It isn’t pure erotica and you don’t get bored by a dull story.

Due to the shortness of the book, it was lightning fast instalove–which is a bit too fast for me. But even in those circumstances, it was a slow burn, since after their first encounter, Elena refuses to have a relationship with Chance. Talk about contradiction!
