Jennifer Chance returns with another novel that'll keep you hooked.
Erin Connelly meets alpha male Zander James in WANT IT, the third novel in Jennifer Chance's sizzling Rule Breakers series! This one is not to be missed by readers looking for their military romance fix!
About WANT IT:
In the latest tantalizing Rule Breakers novel from Jennifer Chance, an irresistible alpha male follows his ex into a deadly standoff—and reignites a heated affair.
For Erin Connelly, being a good girl isn’t such a bad thing. She’s working her dream job at a Boston art gallery and staying out of trouble, which is more than she can say for her deadbeat mom. Unfortunately, her mother’s latest misadventure lands her in the clutches of a Mexican drug lord. Now the only person who can save her is the one man Erin has no business asking for help: the sexy-as-sin army ranger who just so happens to be her former high school sweetheart.
Zander James is no gentleman—and no officer, either, thanks to Erin. Four years ago, she made a call that terminated his highest aspirations ... and their relationship. He’s never forgiven her, but when he learns that Erin’s embarking on a half-baked rescue mission, he sure as hell can’t let her go alone. Now, with a treacherous enemy lying in wait, the electrifying tension between them may just be Zander’s undoing. Because while he may be able to keep Erin alive, he can’t promise to keep his hands off her.

Excerpt: Welcome to Nuevo Laredo
A note to readers from author Jennifer Chance:
Because WANT IT is a romance, not a military suspense book, I found I had to focus very hard on not writing scenes that were too “action-adventurey”. But one character who just refused to leave the narrative was Rey Torres. Rey is a shadowy “friend of a friend” who shows up to help Zander and Erin when they need it most, on their quest to free Erin’s mother. He’s smart and funny and a little too happy to bend the rules, but he fits well with the more serious Zander and goes a long way toward making Erin feel just a bit safer in a strange country. Here Rey touches on the danger that exists in Nuevo Laredo, even while trying to reassure Erin. It’s a difficult balance to strike!
“You doing good back there?”
Zander’s words brought her back and Erin blinked. “Yes! Yes, all good.” They were approaching a long line of cars at a bridge, and she was struck with how, well, how normal everything seemed. Not that she wanted a big shoot-out at the Mexican O.K. Corral, but if they went through this with no more trouble than a trip to the grocery, she admitted that a small part of her would be . . . ever so slightly disappointed. She’d read a tiny amount about the drug trade in Mexico, and about people who ran afoul of the dealers. It seemed a lot more scary on the Internet than it did driving around in a rental car.
She frowned as they drove past the first bridge. “Isn’t that where we’re headed?”
Rey glanced at her in the rearview mirror, his ever-present smile still curving the edge of his mouth. “No, ma’am. That’s what we call Bridge Number One—a good enough bridge, don’t get me wrong. But the one we want is Bridge Number Two. I have a pass for the SENTRI lane there.” He tapped a small hang-card he’d slung over the rearview mirror.
“Like an express lane?” she asked, and Rey nodded.
“Exactly like that.”
They turned onto the bridge, and Erin watched the sunlight playing over scorched concrete as they made their way across the arching expanse. “So, is it really as dangerous here as I read about? Should I be worried?”
“You? Not at all.” Rey shrugged. “You have Zander with you, and he seems like a smart guy. You seem like a smart woman. With two smart people, I have found that there is never much need to be worried.” They bumped off the bridge and down onto the street, Rey handling the vehicle easily to get over to the first exit, heading west. “Now if you were dumb? Well, that would be another thing altogether. Camino Real, yes?” Rey asked, and Zander nodded, while Rey flashed Erin a bright grin in the rearview mirror. “Then your adventure begins, my very smart friends. Welcome to Nuevo Laredo.”

Overall Rating: 4.5 Rockin’ ★★★★☆
Want It, by Jennifer Chance is her third book in the Rule Breakers series. The story's characters are very well developed and the plot will seduce you from the beginning and leave you wanting more. Continuing with remnants of the characters from the previous books, Jennifer adds to it by creating the world of her newest couple, Erin Connelly and Zander James.

Zander James has come home from the military because of his father's death. He never expected to stay long, but when opportunity calls, he has to answer. Erin Connelly has come back into his life. Throwing her out of his life years ago because of something she did to him, Zander has never forgotten her. Now that she has come back into his life and needs his help, old feelings begin to surface and he can't let her go again, not yet.
Will Zander be able to help Erin in her moment of need, even though they have a tumultuous past? Will Zander finally forgive Erin for her lack of understanding from their past? Read this book to find out!!!
As the plot thickens in the story, I was overcome by the beautiful design of the characters and their plight. I loved the fact that love transcends all bounds and that no matter how long these two characters had been apart, some things on a primal level are never forgotten. This book has depth, passion, and hot sex scenes that will leave you breathless. I can't wait to read the next saga in her Rule Breakers series. Way to make me "Want It", Jennifer!
