Lauren Dane magnificently weaves together an ever growing cast of characters in her series: Chase Brothers. The abundant secondary characters in “Making Chase” richly add to the development of Matt and Tate’s relationship. What I liked most was the off the cuff, little addition at the end. It was so much better than a wrap-it-in-a-bow, cookie-cutter HEA. Wow! Perfect ending to a book and series.

Eve Carter takes the reader on a roller coaster of a ride. I went from being disgusted by Jesse, to feeling bad for Jesse, to liking Jesse, to being happy for Jesse, to caring about Jesse, and to worrying about Jesse. I really liked how the author dealt with the concept of using Jack Daniels as a therapist. It was a healthy balance of comedy and sarcasm.
Books, that leave you hanging at the end or with a huge cliff hanger, should come with a warning sign. WARNING: HAVE NEXT BOOK IN SERIES IN HAND OR SUFFER FROM ANTICIPATION.

In Play, Mal Ericson is the epitome of a famous rock star drummer that has absolutely no filter on his tongue. The outrageous comments that come out of his mouth had me smiling in amusement the entire book. Awesome dialog! His playful nature made it impossible to put the book down.
For me, the great part about finding this series now is that there are two more waiting for me to read.

Sometimes, “[L]ove happens in the blink of an eye.” This is the continuation of the story from Surrender Your Love. Jett is still a sexy, wealthy, green-eyed god that Brooke cannot resist. While Brooke is not a gold digger, it is hard not to be impressed by Jett’s gestures. He makes quite the impression!
In the midst of car chases and gun shots, I almost died laughing when Brooke and her best friend, Sylvie, each take a home pregnancy test where they cannot read the instructions because they are written in Italian.

Cole may be the sexiest character ever. He looks like a bad boy, with all of his tats, but is passionate, trustworthy, romantic, fun, and has a firm sense of family. The chemistry between Cole and Shannon is palpable. The whole crew of friends that work at INKarnate are an amusing spirited group and adds a lot wittiness to the story. This is another hit by Samantha Young, where the growing “tribe” of friends and family expands. Another in the series is expected in summer of 2015. Can’t wait to hear Logan’s story.

In Hard To Hold On To, the main character’s name, Easy, contrasts his mental healing. Non-spoiler alert, no one rides off into the sunset or gets married in the end, which makes the story more real. Recognizing a true kinship is more heartfelt than love at first sight. His poignant tat is notable:
“YOU WERE NEVER
CREATED TO LIVE
DEPRESSED,
DEFEATED, ASHAMED
OR UNWORTHY.
YOU WERE CREATED
TO BE
VICTORIOUS”

This was my first book by Kylie Scott. Lucky find for me! I totally agree with Evelyn, the main character, she is the “The luckiest fucking girl in the entire world.” Who wouldn’t want a huge rockstar writing love songs for her? David’s quiet gestures towards the end, make him irresistible. I plan to read the next three in the series.

Okay, it is a little odd that there are four books in this “trilogy.” But when an author does it well, who cares. More is better! I became fixed on the characters in the first of the series, “Fixed on You.” I just finished reading the second in the series, “Found in You.” Alyana and Hudson are two characters that I find myself rooting for like I’m at a sporting event. Literally, I want to cheer when they get together and I want to yell at them to stop when they are being humanly stupid. The tension and building of the story line had me on pins and needles. If I had been watching a scary movie, I would have covered my eyes with just enough room to peek through the slits in my fingers. I continued reading as quickly as I could to find out how everything would get resolved. The author had a fantastic twist that had me sighing in relief. I look forward to reading the next books in the series.
