Amelia Wellington is a quiet, young, successful business woman. Her past relationships have left her with scars so deep she has sworn off men all together. Until that one fateful day she quite literally runs into Doctor Kyle Peters, that is.
Doctor Kyle Peters is a busy young OB/GYN holding on to a tragic past that has torn his family apart, making it difficult for him to give his heart to any woman. But when a beautiful woman crashes into him on a routine day at work, he finds his world turning upside down.
Will Running Into Love be enough for them to find a happily ever after together? Does Kyle have what it takes to heal Amelia’s broken heart and change her outlook on life? Will Kyle’s past result in tragedy as history repeats itself?
When it comes to matters of the heart, sometimes you have to run not walk.
After reading Annalisa Nicole’s debut novel, Take A Chance, and finding that for a book that dealt with some pretty serious and life changing events it was pleasantly sweet and heart-warming, I was expecting another upbeat and amusing love story from its follow up, I’ll Take a Chance, and that’s just what I got.
This series isn’t called running into love for no reason. Amelia Wellington literally crashes into Dr. Kyle Peters while rushing to visit Willow, from book one, in the hospital. This accidental encounter is cute, sweet, and comical and sets off a whole chain of events leading to Kyle and Amelia taking a chance on each other.
Amelia has sworn off men since her last and only serious boyfriend left her with some deep emotional scars and some pretty serious insecurities. I’ll Take A Chance takes an unexaggerated and realistic look into Amelia’s bedroom activities and unlike most contemporary romances these days illustrates a steamy and immensely satisfying love life without four plus orgasms on demand with every encounter which seems to the norm in most stories these days. I think there will be a lot of women who will be able to relate to Amelia and I applaud Annalisa Nicole for addressing what may be a concern for many women and showing that there is still plenty of romance and fulfilment to be had. Kyle also has some lingering issues in his past that come back to haunt the couple in a mysterious turn of events that was a bit surprising and lent a dose of suspense to the story.
Unfortunately I found that I was unable to make any sort of significant attachment to either character. Amelia was sweet and relatable but while her constant clumsiness and bouts of verbal diarrhoea should have been endearing I couldn’t help but find it slightly irritating. Kyle was charming and understanding but with him there just seemed to be something missing that made it him hard to really connect with and honestly I think that was probably a lack of any strong emotion emanating from this story. Even during the “intense” moments, I just wasn’t feeling the emotion in it.
Along those same lines their relationship was definitely a whirlwind and maybe because things happened so fast or maybe because I wasn’t connecting with the feelings in the events, I feel like there was no falling. It seemed like the butterflies and the passion was sort of skipped over and we were thrown right into the forever.
All in all, I’ll Take A Chance was a delightful, enjoyable love story that is a great continuation of Willow and Asher’s story and leads right into the third Wellington sibling’s story. Adrian’s story sounds intriguing with a mystery woman from his past and I can’t wait to find out more.

Review by Michelle
“Leave the shoes on honey,” I whisper.
I am so ready to just sink into her, but I’m fully aware that I need to see to her needs first. And that is something I can do willingly. I have been thinking about the first time nonstop. She was so responsive, and it is something I can quickly become addicted to.
I make my way down and she smells so damn good. She’s breathing heavy, anticipating my next move. Just like last time she’s on fire. Her legs start twitching as she writhes beneath me. It doesn’t take her long and she’s coming in my mouth, screaming my name. She digs those amazing heels in my back and I need to be inside her now. While she rides her orgasm back down, I reach in the night stand for a condom. I’m so turned on by just the noises she was making I don’t think it will take me long to find my own release. Rolling the condom on, I take my position over top of her. I can see the look of want in her eyes. She grabs my neck and pulls me down for a fierce kiss. I know she can taste herself on my lips and it’s beyond fucking hot. I slowly enter her and she makes whimpering noises.
“Oh, that feels so good,” she says.
I sink all the way in and start to move slowly. She’s so verbal and it feels so good I can feel myself quickly at the brink. She bucks her hips and flips me over on my back. In one swift movement she’s riding me hard and deep. She bends her knees up and plants her feet on either side of my hips. She then leans back and places her hands on my knees. She moves slowly as her head falls back, the ends of her long blonde hair brush my upper thighs.
I am an “Indie” adult contemporary romance author. I am a wife and a stay at home mom. I have been married to my wonderful husband since 1996. I love being a stay at home mom to our two teenage boys. We have a handful of pets, a dog named Lucy (who is in my books), a guinea pig named Flufy, (my son spells her name that way) and a cat named meow-meow, who adopted us many years ago and has never left.
I never liked reading as a kid and I only started reading romance novels in the past few years. Soon I couldn't get enough of them. My Kindle and I are inseparable now. A thought occurred to me in December of 2012 that maybe I could write a romance novel. So I went to work with the encouragement of my husband and my sister-in-law. It didn’t take long to figure out that I really enjoyed writing.
I entered my book in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Contest in January of 2013. Needless to say my three hundred word pitch didn’t even make it through the first round. My book never even got read. So now what do you do with a 50,000+ word book? With more encouragement by my wonderful family I decided to self- publish it. So here I am today a self- published author. It has been a lot of hard work but I wouldn’t change a single thing.
It has not been an easy road and there has been a lot of self- doubt, but I stuck with it and I wouldn’t change a thing. I’ve been blessed to have been put in contact with some amazing people that have supported and encouraged me every step of the way.
