Destiny’s Chance by
Cara Bristol
Destiny’s Chance
never had a chance. Forces conspired against it. Just about everything that
could have gone wrong with this book did: it went through several exhaustive
rewrites with my publisher, Loose Id didn’t like the title and we went round
and round on that, the cover came late (only got it the night before the
release) and the book was published the same month as two
other books of
mine, so I couldn’t devote as much time to promotion as it deserved.
Published in May 2013, Destiny’s
Chance tanked. Even though it
contains spanking, even spanking fiction fans ignored it. I don’t think it ever
ranked better than 50,000 on Amazon or earned more than a few hundred dollars
the first year of its release.
But I think it offers something unique story wise. It’s
about finding and achieving your dream when everything conspires against you. Ironic,
huh?
Destiny’s Chance
blurb
Destiny Grable can’t help that she's fallen in love Chance
Everett, her best friend's boyfriend, but she's never, ever acted on her
feelings -- until she and Zoe are in a car accident, Zoe is killed, and Destiny
is reincarnated in her body. She never wished for something like this to
happen, but perhaps now she’ll be free to love Chance the way she always wanted
to.
Chance might have had pursued Destiny, but he has a kinky side and she was a nice girl. But now she’s dead, and the accident has forced him to take in his ex-girlfriend. As soon as she recovers and moves out, he’ll get on with his life.
Can two star-crossed lovers ever find happiness?

Destiny's Chance was a book that I really enjoyed. I was surprised it didn't get more attention than it did.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Corinne.
DeleteI remember this but I also haven't read it. It appeals to me, the blurb I mean, but somehow it got lost in the shuffle. I think what it is is that there are so many spanking books right now. I am revisiting... Thanks for the post.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of spanking books. It's overwhelming sometimes. I try to support as many authors as I can, but they're publishing faster than I can read.
DeleteSo true about the number of books out there being hard to keep up with. There have also been several times that I go through my kindle and realize I bought a book (or two) that I never got around to reading.
DeleteVery interesting premise Cara. I love the sound of this.

Thanks, Roz! Destiny is a little different from all the other spanking books, including the ones I've written.
DeleteThis has been on my Nook for a while. Ugh, like you said, lost in the shuffle.
ReplyDeletemoving this up, so I don't lose it again.
:)
That's a long time. :-) It came out in May 2013.
DeleteI bought it last year but haven't read it yet however you might consider re-releasing it, I'm sure it would do well as you are more well-known.
ReplyDeleteLoose Id still has the rights to Destiny's Chance. I can't re-release until the rights revert back to me in 2016.
