Mackenzie
From the very first moment I laid eyes on him, I knew my heart was his for the taking. He was the boy who filled me with butterflies and made my palms turn clammy at the mere sight of him. There was only one problem… he was my best friend’s older brother.
It’s been eight years since I’ve last seen him, and I refuse to live another day without telling him the truth. So here I stand, taking my last chance to get him to notice me, my last chance to see if he feels the same way.
I need to know if he is just a fantasy, or if he could be my reality…
Before my reality changes forever.
Connor
I never wanted a girlfriend; I was burned by love and vowed to never go down that road again. But when the beautiful girl I’ve known practically my entire life snuck her way into my arms there was something that changed in me. I wanted to be with her, next to her. Just simply kissing her lips made my life complete.
Now I have one mission.
To make hers complete, too.
Last Chance is a story of love and heartache proving that life is not always fair, but it's worth the pain to get the moments you’ll treasure forever.

Review
Runow's latest stand-alone romance continues her streak of creating warm and likable characters readers will be rooting for from the first page. Their irresistible love story is not without its share of obstacles, and the pain they cause can be devastating. Interspersed between the happy and joyful times are moments of extreme sadness, so have Kleenex on hand for this thrillingly emotional story of love and loss. - RT Book Reviews
Beautiful and heart-breaking. A true soul mate love story; one that dreams are made of despite the direction the characters' journey takes. Such a truly emotional journey that'll have your heart caught up in every word and your tears fall in both happiness and intense sadness too.
Lauren Runow's writing was flawless and vividly evocative. She wrote her characters with such heart, warmth and depth. We cared for every single one and their place in the story. Music plays a huge part of this story and serves such poignancy. - Totally Booked Blog
I fell in love with Mackenzie and Connor right from the start.
Their dynamics and the way they handled each other and the situations they found themselves in are simply magnifying and inspiring.
Connor is at the top of all book boyfriends (scratch that) men I've had the pleasure to read about.
He sets the bar pretty high on how real men should be and I love him for that. - Jenn, Collector of Book Boyfriends blog
Last Chance is so much more than just a typical romance book. I've read plenty of love stories in my life, but none of them compare to this! Lauren Runow takes us on a journey that I will never forget. Last Chance will forever hold a special place in my heart. - She is Fond of Books Blog
I was so blown away by this story that I have already started recommending it to my book friends. This is a love story that needs to be shared, devoured, and appreciated. I hope if you read it, you love it and break as much as I have. - Nerdy Dirty & Flirty Blog
Wow Wow Wow. Beautiful Beautiful story. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone so I'll just say, this is one of the best books I've ever read. It's beautifully written and breathtaking. This is a powerful story that will leave an imprint on your heart and soul. Ms Runow is definitely one of my new favorite authors. - Gloria from Goodreads
