Tussle (World Class Wrestling Book 1) Kindle Edition
When Jesse Gunn, one of the biggest stars of World Class Wrestling, voiced that million dollar question, yet again, I was stunned. After turning him down countless times, I thought eventually he'd give up.
Unexpectedly thrown together for a work project, my mind went to places I’d never allowed. Dirty places where sweaty, naked bodies take center ring and names are rasped out in the heat of the moment.
Now, my time is spent wondering if a certain part of him could possibly live up to his last name, distracting me from my full time job - as his boss.
Can I continue to keep things professional or will I give in and tussle?
Tussle is a full length sports romantic comedy standalone.

I want to be one of #JessesGirlz! This book was fun, flirty and absolutely a joy to read. I was engaged and entertained throughout. Did not want it to end.
So here is where I admit I am not a wrestling fan. I don't hate this sport, I just don't get it. That said, Tussle was not only a great read, it was a learning experience for me. Makes me curious about wrestling. I'm not saying I'm going to watch it but I do have a better understanding of what it's all about. Even a novice like me can easily see that Jacob Chance knows wrestling and how to articulate this sport to people like me who are ignorant to what wrestling is about.
That said, Jesse is a professional wrestler. He is sexy, witty and doesn't give up on what he wants. And he wants Lilah. I loved the chemistry and banter between them. Lilah likes Jesse, however since he works for her family's company, she considers him off limits. She persistently fights her attraction for three years until Jesse finally breaks her determination to keep away. Their relationship was relatable and believable. Any interactions they had were enjoyable to experience. Yes, their chemistry was scorching. However, they also had respect for each other. While Jesse was determined to get his girl, his persistence was not over the top. He was a gentlemen. My latest book boyfriend!
I did not find this book angsty nor was I ever frustrated with any aspect. Tussle is well written and told in both H/h perspectives. The intimacy between Jesse and Lilah was hot, the humor between them was even more endearing. I truly loved this book. I can't wait to see who of the secondary characters will have their own book next.
Every Monday and Tuesday night and at least one Sunday night a month you will see me watching professional wrestling. If for some reason I am not home I record it, it is my guilty pleasure and one that drives my husband insane but for me it’s my other escape from reality besides reading. When I started Tussle, I was like yes finally a book that is about professional wrestling. I know there was another I have read but seriously, this is one sports romance that we need more of.
Okay so anyways back to my review. Tussle reminded me of one of my favorite storylines in wrestling, if you are a fan of WWE you know the whole saga with the boss’s daughter and the bad boy. And is it coincidence that in the book the brand is WCW and the last name Turner? Jacob Chance must be a wrestling fan I would say. Did I have issues with the book? Yes there were a few instances of that’s not correct but the romance was strong and I loved reading about Jesse and Lilah.
The chemistry was strong from the beginning but the way that Lilah didn’t want to break the rules made the buildup of their relationship a slow process. Jesse was sexy, he was sweet, he was caring and he wanted Lilah and wasn’t afraid to keep trying. Lilah is the daughter of the owner and was warned not to mix business with pleasure, but can she stay strong against Jesse’s pursuits? I must say I got aggravated more than once with Lilah but overall I liked her character very much.
I am hoping that Mr. Chance will write books for some of the secondary characters we are introduced to, I would love to read about Ronnie, Jesse’s sister and Wyatt one of his best friends. Issues that I had aside I really enjoyed this one and am looking forward to more from Jacob Chance.
Received an ARC for which I voluntarily provided an honest review
Jacob Chance take us into the world of pro wrestling with this sports romance standalone.
His writing gave the readers the feeling of being inside the ring or in the audience. The adrenaline rush is easily felt, even for a non-fan of wrestling like myself. It didn't mattered that I didn't know the names of the moves, because it was easy to guess what they were with the descriptions.
"Watch out. You're gonna fall for me, I'm a total catch."
As a pro wrestler, Jesse has a cocky persona, but he has a different side that he doesn't let many people see. I loved this side of him. He has a charming personality that I couldn't help wanting to be be Jesse's girl. It's hard to not fall for him. He makes a great book boyfriend.
"Just because you had your mouth 'on my t*ts' as you so eloquently put it, doesn't mean you get to tell me what to do. They're not your t*ts, they're mine."
I absolutely loved Lilah. She's witty and a firecracker. She can keep one cocky and persistent wrestler in check. I immensely enjoyed the way she challenged Jesse and kept him on his toes. Their interactions were deliciously good and were my favorite. They were so much fun to read.
Tussle is funny. There were many amusing scenes that had me smiling or laughing out loud. Though, there was something that was being teased but wasn't delivered. I was hoping there was a scene with it. The secondary characters are pretty amazing, too. I may had develop a girl crush on Ronnie. I want her book.

Jesse no da su brazo a torcer y desde el primer día hasta el día de hoy, 3 años después, sigue pidiéndole una cita a Lilah.
Ella lo rechaza cada vez porque va en contra de las normas de la empresa.
Pero cuando les encargan un trabajo en el que tienen que pasar mucho tiempo juntos, Lilah encuentra más difícil seguir resistiéndose a los avances de Jesse.
Me ha encantado
Lilah is joining the family business of World Class Wrestling. She was given 3 rules, one which is mentioned twice of mixing business with pleasure. So, what happens when one of the biggest stars Jesse Gunn takes an intrest in her? Well, you'll just have to read to find out.
Jesse has definitely stolen a place in the book boyfriend category, I'm officially one of #JessesGirlz and wouldn't have it any other way.
Overall Thoughts: From the first page to the last page I've either been giggling or smirking. I'm usually disappointed with RomComs because I don't find them to be as humorous as they can be, however this one delivered on the humor.The way that Mr Chance writes has always captivated me. Tussle is no different. The attention to details for the wrestling events made me feel like I was sitting ring side, and I've only ever been to one WWE event as a child and it brought that memory back. The humor he uses is fitting to the story, it isn't just random funny things but geared to fitting with the scenes. And the chemistry between Jesse and Lilah are just like I expected, Jacob Chance is amazing at writing sexual tension between characters which is a reason I love his work. Ok, so I may love everything this man writes but he proves with each book why I am a loyal fan.
'Jesse Gunn is a thorn in my side,or should I say a thorn in my heart?'~(Lilah)
This is another well written sport's themed story, (which I think are my favorite's from Jacob) that grabs your attention from Prologue to End,and again it was a privilege to read it (a couple of times actually)... I LOVED IT!
We begin with Lilah,(22) who is about to start working for her Family's business (World Class Wrestling) and on her first day,meets Jesse (27) on her way in,with no idea of who he is,agrees to meet after work....heads in to meet with her dad-to get the rules/expectations of her job...and one of those important rules is a no dating co-worker's policy...and of course,when she runs into Jesse later..discovers he's an upcoming wrestler...and therefore off limits!!
Three years down the line,Jesse's been relentless in his quest to have something more with Lilah, each time she refuses,he keeps on trying,she's determined to keep things professional yet there is a mutual attraction,that slowly builds along with a fair amount of humor,before the inevitable hotness happens.I really enjoyed the back and forth between them both, that Jesse's not just 'Jesse Gunn'~the persona he gives his fans,he shows Lilah he's more than that,which surprises her,and makes her face the fact she wants more. The side character's that are introduced along the way~Jesse's sister Ronnie,and his best friend Wyatt(possible future book for them??) also provide some humor to the story.
The attention to detail,especially with the action of the wrestling side,is enough to make you feel as though you are actually there,giving you an insight into what goes on behind the scenes, adding some slight drama/angst moments towards the end,will Jesse and Lilah be able to be together? You'll have to read for yourself to find out!!
On her first day working at World Class Wrestling (WCW), Lilah Turner is charmed by Jesse Gunn, an upcoming professional wrestler. Unfortunately for them both, Lilah is Russ Turner’s daughter and Russ is the CEO of WCW with a low tolerance for workplace fraternisations. So for three years and almost 300 attempts at a date, Lilah manages to ward off Jesse’s determined, cheesy and adorable propositions to date him. But when a wrestling matter requires Jesse and Lila to work in close quarters, sparks begin to fly, the sexual tension is palpable and Lilah’s carefully constructed reasons for not dating Jesse start to erode.
What follows is a hilarious romantic comedy that will have you swooning over Jesse - yes you’ll want to be one of #JessesGirlz too, laughing out loud at the antics of wrestlers in pursuit of their sport and our entertainment, and hoping that Lilah can find a balance between her career aspirations and love (because if she can’t, I’m sure there’s a line of women happy to make Jesse theirs). And be prepared for a sweet, lovely, hilarious romance that will make you smile, laugh and wish for a super-sweet, alpha-male wrestler named Jesse Gunn to take an interest in you 😉❤️
Jacob Chance writes fantastic romantic suspense (see the Quake duet!) bit his forays into sports, rom-com with Drive and Tussle have cemented him as a one-click, must-read author for me.
