I think I liked Chance more before I read his book. I really liked the central plot, Chance trying to catch a terrorist decides to get close to the terrorists' daughter and make her fall in love with him enough to spill her beans about her dad. Seemed interesting enough, and the book was pretty good until Sunny found out who he really was. - She was obviously mad and feeling betrayed, but she forgave him way too easily in my opinion, and that was definitely a hit on the book.
As usual, it was very heart-warming to see the whole Mackenzie family together again, I remember when it was just Wolf, Joe and Mary... now they're such a huge family!

Entertaining, but it's still hard for me to get over the ruthlessness in using Sunny as bait.

Estoy muy sentimental, es el ultimo libro de esta familia y me siento con la necesidad de releer las escenas donde están todos juntos.
Este libro tiene muchos momentos que me han llegado al alma, desde que conocí a Chance, supe que se había convertido en mi personaje favorito. Adoro a toda la familia Mackenzie pero Chance tiene algo muy especial y su libro me ha dejado muy contenta.
Todo el clan se adora con todo el corazón y el apoyo que se dan es incondicional, todo eso me pone muy sentimental porque aún recuerdo cómo comenzó todo. El clan Mackenzie está hecho de ganadores, cada uno tiene su pedazo de excelencia y a pesar de que Chance es adoptado, cumple con las expectativas aunque él mismo no se de cuenta. Si supieran todas las lagrimitas que derramé cuando Wolf le dice lo mucho que lo quiere y lo orgulloso que estaba de él... omg

A Game of Chance
4 Stars
Chance Mackenzie, the half-wild child adopted by Wolf and Mary Mackenzie, has become a dedicated undercover agent. When information concerning the daughter of a notorious terrorist comes to his attention, Chance embarks on a mission to seduce her and discover the extent of her involvement in her father’s business. However, there is more to Sonia “Sunny” Miller than meets the eye and Chance soon realizes that he is willing to risk a lot more than his life to learn her secrets…
A sweet ending to a highly entertaining series.
While Chance is certainly overbearing, manipulative and arrogant, there is still something endearing about him. Perhaps it is his harsh childhood or his abiding loyalty to family, or perhaps it is his dark nature and tortured soul. Regardless, Chance is a particularly charming hero despite his shortcomings.
Sunny (by name and by nature) is just as appealing. She is exceedingly resourceful and copes with dire situations with a strong backbone and a calm demeanor. My one small caveat is that despite her obvious intelligence and her awareness of her situation, she still fails to notice Chance’s machinations. For someone on the run, she is far too accepting of events.
The minor suspense plot unravels quickly but plausibly and the glimpses along the way into Mackenzie family life are wonderful.
Looking forward to reading more of Linda Howard this year.

This is my favorite in the Mackenzie series. Chance and Sunny become stuck in the desert. Only not everything is as it seems. Chance is hiding thing from Sunny, but so is Sunny. It's a game of cat and mouse they are both playing with their lives at stake.
Historical romance is more my genre, but this book drew me, keeping me plastered to the pages. I'm not much of an intrigue fan either, but this one had just enough espionage for me to keep the pacing from lagging.
