A professional troubleshooter gets a dose of her own medicine when a client saves her from a traumatic past in this novel from the New York Times-bestselling author. Working for a New York City public relations firm is a dream come true for Elizabeth Jerome. And her new client is the icing on the cake. Donovan Grant is a modern renaissance man whose list of successful business ventures goes on and on. But when his health food company is sabotaged, leading to poisoned food, he turns to the best PR firm in town for some damage control. But for some reason, Liz and Donovan start out on the wrong foot. Impressed by his morals, his drive, and, yes, his looks, Liz doesn't understand Donovan's obvious attraction to her. She's good at her job but not someone worth a second glance. Or so she thinks. And it will take every ounce of Donovan's compassion to get to the bottom of Liz's most intimate fears--and get her to see the incredible woman who has stolen his heart. Praise for Barbara Delinsky "Delinsky's writing is fluid and makes for a hard-to-put-down book." --Glamour "Delinsky is a first-rate storyteller who creates believable, sympathetic characters who seem as familiar as your neighbors." --The Boston Globe "Delinsky writes about the emotional crises of everyday people and how those trials shape relationships." --The Cincinnati Enquirer
The back cover reads: "Liz Jerome is an expert at public relations. Well, at least in business. But when she is hired to do some damage control for a company owned by Donovan Grant, the dividng line between professional and personal suddenly disappears. Donovan cathes her off guard with his subtle come-ons and his humorous teasing. But being his playmate isn't on Liz's agenda. She is determined to block his every move. to resist the sweet confusion her arouses in her. Donovan threatens her safe, isolated world, making her want things she can never have. But a painful, secret keeps Liz from trusting him, and yet only by taking a chance with Donovan will she begin to heal the past." My personal review is that Chances Are is one of Barbara Delinsky's greatest books. In the beginning, Donovan is sweet and funny, your regular nice guy. As the book progresses, he becomes more human; he's confused at Liz's reluctance to do anything sexual. In the end he retaliates in, I guess the only way he knows how. There is a surprising plot twist at the end. I would recommend this book to anyone.
another winner for delinsky.....

Delinsky has done it again! Her style of writing puts her way above alot of authors. In this book starting out as co-workers soon turns to more....Alot of sizzle and chemistry.
