He was the man of her dreams and their lives were all planned out—until he disappeared without explanation. Only to reappear on the decks of the Oceanic Aphrodite six years later.
Selena Spark has a plan for her life. It’s a new plan, one she devised after her previous plans—the ones she made with her college boyfriend and supposed future husband and business partner fell through—but it’s a good plan.
Step One: Put eyes on the resort Oceanic has built with her company on Grand Cayman, and determine if it is up to her company’s high standards.
Step Two: If it is, score the management position at that resort.
Step Three: Move to Grand Cayman for her dream job and live happily ever after in paradise.
But you know what they say about plans.
And when her sister is left at the altar just before the cruise sails and needs consoling, Selena decides to bring her along. But when Lincoln Addis turns out to be the activities director aboard the Aphrodite, and when he is assigned to oversee her Oceanic experience and confesses that he’s also in the running for the resort management gig? And when she realizes she still loves him, and he’s never stopped loving her?
Selena may have to make some new plans.
Take a Chance on Me is a light-hearted second-chance romance set in the sun and sand of the Caribbean. The perfect beach read!
Will their professions keep them apart again?
Take a Chance on Me by Delancey Stewart is wonderfully written second-chance love with amazingly realistic characters with believable issues. This book is the perfect read for the end of the summer evening.
Selena
Selena is our main character, and she tells the story. She and her sister Jenny are on the cruise ship Oceanic Aphrodite for two reasons. Selena is on business, and she brought her sister Jenny to help Jenny get over her broken heart. Selena’s company is going to partner with the Oceanic cruise lines in a resort on the Cayman Islands. This is Selena’s dream job. She wants to run a tropical resort so bad.
I like Selena and could see the two of us as friends. She is loyal, hardworking, dedicated, and loves dolphins. So what if she is claustrophobic and wants to hold a grudge? She works through it anyway, the grudge part that it is.
Lincoln
Lincoln is a hard worker and seems to enjoy his position on the Oceanic Aphrodite. However, he is also looking forward to the joint venture of the resort as he also wants to run it. As running a tropical resort is also his dream. Lincoln pulls out all of the stops to prove to Selena that he still loves her and that he has changed.
In the beginning, we all hate Lincoln for leaving Selena long ago with no explanation. Then when he gives her the reason, I was like, “Wow! Loser!” but after getting to know him better. I can see that he has grown and he really is a good guy.
Love Story
This story is darn cute. I adore it, but then I am a sucker for a good second chance at love. The history between these two is explosive in many ways, but they both seem to have grown, now can share their lives. I genuinely love a happy ending.
Seriously, the best scene is when they are swimming with the dolphins. That was amazing!

I write from my home outside Washington DC, where I manage a household full of boys and men. Okay, only one man. The hubs. But two boys. I mean, three if you count the hubs. (You see why I do words and not numbers. I was told there’d be no math in this about me section. Someone lied.)
I grew up in California and have had more jobs than anyone on earth (personal trainer, pharmaceutical rep, copywriter, tech writer, marketing director, wine seller, elementary school teacher… I’m not kidding.
