Sex changes everything.

And love can turn into an enemy…

Mitch Abrams, the bassist for the popular rock band
Generation Rejects, has been in love with Gracie Cook for years. But Gracie, a
complicated girl with a lot of baggage, was too blind to see how she felt about
the man who had always stood by her.

Until one night of passion brought them closer than they had
ever been before.

Feeling off balance and out of control, Gracie does the only
thing a girl with self-destructive tendencies can do: end things with Mitch
before they can really begin.

So Mitch moves on. With his band, his friends, and a new
girlfriend.

Yet he can’t seem to forget about the girl who threw his
heart away.

Gracie, who is still struggling to build a life after
crashing to the bottom, finds it hard to forget about her one night with Mitch.
And even as she tries to convince herself it was only sex, her heart knows
differently.

But life is full of chances and desperate moments. And when
Mitch and Gracie are thrown back into each other’s lives, will they seize at
the opportunity to do things right?

Or will the rock star and the less than ordinary girl crash
and burn?

Michel’s Review

It’s been a wonderful journey reading the Bad Rep series by A. Meredith Walters.  Readers have embraced the band members of Generation Rejects.  From the beginnings as a local hometown bar/ college band to professional recording artists.  Along the way they have met some dynamic women, fallen in love, and found there is more to life than their music careers.

Desperate Chances is the final book in the Bad Rep series.  Mitch Abrams and Gracie Cook are finally going to get their happily ever after.  It has been a hard road and a lot of heartache.  Gracie had problems with alcoholism and anorexia.  She had to crash and burn before she could give her love.  She had to learn to lover herself.  The one person that always had her back was Mitch.  His friendship was the only solid truth in her life. Shortly after she became clean and sober she slept with Mitch.  The morning after she panicked because of all of her issues.  She wasn’t ready to take their relationship to the next level.  She hadn’t healed enough to love Mitch completely.  She broke his heart into a million pieces.

Mitch was devastated by Gracie’s rejection.  He finally moved on and became involved with someone else.  Someone that would always be there for him.  In his head it felt right but in his heart it felt wrong.

One year later Gracie has finally come to terms with herself and her past mistakes.  Her biggest regret was losing Mitch.  She misses their deep abiding friendship.  She misses Mitch.  She has realized that she has always been deeply in love with Mitch.  Now it’s too late.  He has someone else.

The heart wants what the heart wants.  Both Gracie and Mitch are going to realize they were meant for each other.  They will have to learn forgiveness and compassion towards one another.  They will have to completely surrender their hearts and souls to one another. They will have to take desperate chances.

Desperate Chances is my favorite book in the series.  Not only do Gracie and Mitch get their happily ever after, the other members of the band will get theirs too.  This series comes full circle.  They are all going to move on to the next phases in their lives.  It’s been a great journey and their final show is a standing ovation.
