Book 2 in the Chase Brothers series has convinced me I want to 1) move to Petal, Georgia and 2) get myself adopted by the Chase family. But since that is not going to happen I guess I'll just have to say Lauren Dane did her usual outstanding writing job: tight plot, engaging characters and colorfully detailed setting. Great read!

Cassie's abusive background and subsequent new life and identity was really engaging. I also enjoyed the quick relationship build-up since Shane fell for her fast and hard. You see how their love develops and how they get used to one another since Shane was the overbearing, protective sort. But when her ex-husband reappears half way through the story, it lost some steam--classic too little, too late--to make it an interesting focus anymore, and it sort of limped along to an anti-climatic finish. Even though the Chase brothers are the type of hunks I like to read about, this was only an average read--3 star material.
Contemporary erotic suspense romance from Samhain Publishing. Book Two of the Chase Brothers series. Cassie is on the run, from an abusive ex, and goes to Petal Georgia. She promptly gets into a fender-bender with Momma Chase. She's got a whole lotta trouble now, because the Chase family wants to practically adopt her, and Deputy Shane Chase is gorgeous and suspicious at the same time. All Cassie wants to do is lay low, which is impossible in Petal. I enjoyed this book. Cassie and Shane are both likeable, but flawed. Neither is looking for love again, but can't deny it. The sex scenes are hot, the romance sweet, the plot predictable, but tight. I want to read #3. Good book.
I really like this series. It gives you a chance to reallt get to know the Chase family and their community.
The series continues and this book is nothing less than spectacular. This book is about Cassie Gambol. A woman on the run and hiding from an ex-husband that would rather kill her than let her leave him.
Then comes Shane Chase. After his infamous mother, Polly Chase, rear ends Cassie while she's entering the city for the first time, Shane can't seem to get Cassie out of his mind. He knows she's hiding something and with every flinch and panic attack that hits her in the midst of something innocent he can't shake the feeling that this small and beautiful woman has survived something terrible and unimaginable.
Shane Chase, a man whose held himself away from commitment since his fiance cheated on him several years before, yet he can't seem to keep himself at arms length when he's wildly attracted to her strength and her underlying vulnerability as well. But the last thing Cassie wants is another big, overwhelming man who wants to control her life.
A battle begins between Shane, who knows without a doubt that he wants Cassie, who tries to keep a distance between herself and the very alpha sheriff. But Cassie's ex is back and he wants her dead. Will she be strong enough to let Shane in and fight off her ex?????
