Can Fate once more pair mates at a Bucket List Buddies event? Or will one cowardly lion—Lionel—just be too fast on his feet for a teacup poodle—Brad, to catch?
Ghost hunting was at the bottom of a bottomless list of things Lionel wanted to do—alone. Forced to go to a Bucket List Buddies event without his friend, Lionel was oblivious to everything in the darkness without so much as a torch for company. After running away from the event before it gets going, Lionel hides out at home, suffering from acute embarrassment at letting his fears get the better of him.
At least no one saw him leave—right?
Wrong!
Workaholic, Brad, self-proclaimed cute teacup poodle shifter—yes, the declaration came from his animal side—really wants to kick back, have fun, and maybe find something or someone to go bump in the night with at a ghost hunting event. One whiff of a tantalizing smell and Brad is on the hunt for more than ghosts. But before he gets a chance to meet his mate, the sexy man disappears into the night.
As resourceful as Brad is, it seems others in his new circle of friends are more so. An offer to be delivery driver for some delicious chocolate éclairs, has Brad finding his mate.
Claimed, Lionel’s problems are only just beginning. His pride has other ideas on whats ideal when it comes to mating, and Brad is not it. Banished, Lionel discovers the past is not all what it seems, and he doesn’t get just a mate, but so much more.
Ghost of a Chance is book 2 in the Bucket List Buddies Series, where one buddy discovers old fears can be conquered with love, truth and unconditional family support.

4 out of 5 (very good)
Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!
This is book 2 in the Bucket List Buddies series, and I do think you should read book one, Perilous Cuite before this one. Morty and Hector play a part here, and Lionel is Hector's friend.
Lionel doesn't want to go ghost hunting, but his friend gave him tickets, and the other friend let him down. He'll just sneak in and out when no one is looking. But something happens, Lionel is shaken and Brad spots the gorgeous lion sneaking out and where the heck did he disappear to?? Friends come good, and Lionel and Brad officially meet and mate. But not everyone is happy, and a past comes back with a bang.
I thoroughly enjoyed book 1, and I thoroughly enjoyed this one too! I read it after a particularly... difficult... read, and it really lifted my spirits as much as the ghosts they were hunting!
It's steamy, as fated mates books are. I found the drama a little heavier than book 1, but only because Brad made a stand for his mate, and that past did not like it!
In book 1, Hector's mother was best described as a witch. She was horrid to Hector and Morty. But Lionel's mum?? Oh she flew clear across the world to come meet Brad and congratulate them on their mating. She arrived just in time to give that past a right dressing down!
Loved that we caught up with Morty and Hector and their news. I loved the snippet at the end, hinting about Sven and Remy. No idea when or if they will get a book, but the epilogues are great and I'm rooting for them!
These books are a lot of fun, something silly in a messed up time. Thank you for writing them, please keep em coming!
4 wonderful stars

I’m JP and I come from a small island in the middle of the Irish sea where all the magic and madness happens.
Books are my happy place and I’ve the gift of a vivid imagination aided by music that helps to craft and create many muses. They all vie for my attention and, much like cats, impossible to herd.
Let your introduction to my mind allow you the wonder of escapism.

I am so thrilled to see you.
