Giving Chase

When a plate of chili cheese fries brings Maggie to the attention of the Chase brothers, she discovers that lowering her dating standards is not in her horizon. Burned by one of the Chase boys, Maggie then discovers love with another. However, one of the men that she dated a few times is not about to let Maggie escape him. Can Maggie escape him with her life and her love intact?

GIVING CHASE by Lauren Dane is an enjoyable tale about small town life; where having honor, compassion, courage and friends really counts for something. Ms. Dane has done a wonderful job with the people of Petal, Georgia. All of the Chase boys are incredibly sexy with very diverse personalities. Maggie and her friends, Liv and Dee, are women that this reviewer would love to have as friends. Maggie’s mother and sister are people the reader will love to hate. And the villain, well I do not want to say much about him other than the fact that he has real issues. This reader would love to visit Petal and meet some of these interesting people.

In GIVING CHASE, Ms. Dane has again graced her readers with a superb storyline, however there were several issues with editing that greatly diminished this reviewer’s enjoyment of the story. These issues included discrepancies in the time line and missing words in some sentences. Hopefully Ms. Dane will pick up another editor for the remaining books of this series as this reader is dying to read more about the Chase brothers.
