Giving Chase (Chase Brother #1) - Lauren Dane

34
Giving Chase (Chase Brothers, #1)Giving Chase by Lauren Dane
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

From the the publishers summary:
Some small towns grow really good looking men! This is the case with the four Chase brothers. The home grown hotties are on the wishlist of every single woman in town and Maggie Wright is no exception.

Maggie has finally had it with the men she's been dating but a spilled plate of chili cheese fries drops Shane Chase right into her lap. The sheriff is hot stuff but was burned by a former fiancee and is quite happy to play the field.

After Shane's skittishness sends him out the door, Maggie realizes that Kyle Chase has had his eye on her from the start. Now that Shane has messed up, Kyle has no intention of letting anything stop him from wooing her right into his bed.

Despite Maggie's happiness and growing love with Kyle, a dark shadow threatens everything-she's got a stalker and he's not happy at all. In the end, Maggie will need her wits, strength and the love of her man to get her out alive.


This series came highly recommended. I started at the beginning and was really hoping it was one of those that got better as it went along. The summary also promised an interesting romantic thriller. It failed to deliver on any of those promises.

I found the female lead totally unlikable and the plot lines unpleasant and shallow.
I am not a fan of romance novels where either one of the main characters gets it on (in any fashion) with other characters.
There were all sorts of problems with this book. Like...all of the characters were caricatures of people. The dialogue ranged from making my eyes roll or making my head hurt. None of it was believable.
I know romance is fiction - but in order for a story to be enjoyable to me, there must be something in it I can relate to.
There was nothing here.

I have given it two stars because somehow, I was compelled to finish it. But, I won't be reading anymore of this series.
I am not giving up on Ms. Dane, a friend I trust has sung her praises, so I will try another series- The Brown Family. Check this space for that review.
