Literary Nymphs Reviewer: Scandalous Minx

Eric Courtland doesn’t like large groups of people and prefers solitude. So to discover that he not only has a roommate, but one he’s attracted to, doesn’t bode well for the wealthy young man.

Nick Thompson didn’t want to impose on Eric’s life, but there’s no way around their new arrangement. Over time he proves to Eric that being the college quarterback doesn’t mean he’s a dumb jock.

Their attraction evolves from being agreeable roommates to supporting friends and finally, lovers. Nick’s not ready to come out, and it causes a rife between the two men. Will they find a way to work around Nick’s apprehension to expose the truth?

By Chance is the third book of the Courtland Chronicles series. While this is the third book, I personally recommend that you read this story, then Strictly Business followed by The Arrangement. It will give you insight to Eric from his college years up to the man who wants to become a U.S. Senator, as well as to his relationship with Nick. I believe this was my favorite story of the series so far. Eric wasn’t one to drop his guard and Nick wiggled his way right into his heart without trying. The plot is simple, but written to incite readers to take sides; there will be very few who will straddle the fence with this story. I could understand both men’s desires but for some reason, found myself siding with Eric a bit more than Nick. After everything Eric has endured, he wanted one person who would only love him and shout it to the entire world. Truthfully, I found myself hoping he could have that. I’m looking forward to seeing what Cat Grant brings us next in this delicious series.
