Book two in the Shadowpeak Wolves series.Cassie Callington has finally met a man who makes her insides quiver, her heartbeat race and her body sizzle. And he barely even knows she’s alive. An enforcer for the Shadowpeak pack, Jay Chance is ripped, sexy, a complete and utter hunk. He’s also out of her league and chasing after another woman. Still, there’s no rule that says she can’t look, right?Except one night she finds herself doing more than looking, she’s touching, tasting, licking…yum. But it was never meant to be. He’s a werewolf and attracted to someone else. She’s a human and on the next bus out of town. Nope, it would never work. But Jay sees things differently, and comes after her, using some very sensual techniques to persuade her to see things his way. And to taste them his way, and to touch…
Lorna Jean lives in beautiful New Zealand with her partner. Reading has always been her favorite pastime, and when she’s not reading stories filled with passion and romance she finds herself dreaming up new ones. When she’s not in front of the computer screen or curled up with a book, she can usually be found drinking coffee, or shopping, or watching re-runs of Kath and Kim on DVD.
This was a great read. I thoroughly enjoyed the relationship between Cassie and Jay. The book didn't blow over how hard it would be for a human and a wolf to get together either. The book kept me on my toes with so many different side stories, but stayed true to the central love story. And that love story was HOT! I want more books though! PLEASE tell me Dusty will get a book. She had me laughing so hard! And when the heck will we find out what all these mysteries are?
Cassie has lusted after Jay but when she finds out it is no secret she runs from him and the safety of the pack. What does a werewolf do when his interest runs? Why chase her of course and that is just what Jay does. He is bound and determined to get Cassie to understand things his way. Can Jay return to the pack with Cassie by his side or will she fight him and loose her chance at a happy ever after?
I really loved Cassie and the way she stands up for herself and begins to come out of her shell. She is a strong woman who needed a bit of a push and it looks as if Jay is just the man to help her out with that. He is a great man who loves with all his heart and is more than willing to do what ever Cassie needs to make her understand and feel loved. As the story unfolds the lust between Jay and Cassie quickly turns into more. While the two work out their own problems we also get to meet new characters and see more of the pack, making this a very well rounded read that kept my attention to the end and has me wanting more.
Not only do we get Cassie and Jay’s story but we are also treated to many secondary characters that grab your attention like Dusty and Brynn. I enjoyed the interaction between all the characters and found myself liking Dusty and the friendship that develops between her and Cassie. This is the second book in this series and I would advise reading the first so that as the reader you understand the characters and their world much better. I hope that this series continues and we get to visit the pack again.
Review by Robin: Being intrigued by werewolves I thought that Chasing Cassie would be right up my alley. Yes, there were werewolves. Yes there was also plenty of hot sex.
We first meet Cassie Calington lusting for the Jay Chance an enforcer for the Shadow peak pack. Cassie finally finds a man who makes quiver, her heartbeat race and her body sizzle and he is a werewolf. Better yet he doesn’t even know that she exists.
Jay has his eyes set for Dusty another enforcer in their pack. Cassie tries to help Jay get Dusty to notice him but Dusty wants nothing to do with him.
Werewolf and human can they co-exist? Cassie would like to think so. Cassie thinks Jay is still wanting Dusty but Jay saw Cassie upset at a BBQ at Laney’s and goes after her realizing he wants Cassie.
The heat is so explosive that clothes are torn off and wild passionate sex…Let’s just say HOT…HOT…HOT!
The bookstore that Cassie is opening with Jay’s sister Laney is bombed. Sending Cassie on the run to get away from Jay who she thinks is still after Dusty.
She settles into the town where Laney once lived making new friends and running into a strange man who later claims to be her brother. Throughout this who ordeal she settles into her new life only to have Jay follow her there.
Hot…Sex…Delicious.
And still more Hot Sex.
I would have loved more of a storyline for Cassie and Jay. The characters were developed and the basics given but then they are mostly in bed. That isn’t a bad thing but I would have liked to see more of the werewolf changing and more on what Jay actually does. Cassie goes from being half owner of the bookstore to waitressing.
There were so many other characters introduced that I found it difficult to follow at times.
The sex was hot. A quick read. Not something that I would read again.
I am a little disappointed with this book. I really loved the first one in the serie, and was really eager to read this one. But the sex scenes were always the same and I did not understand the intrigue on this one. Why would the author bother to try and make an intrigue around the story if we have no elements to understand it? I just hope that there will be a follow up to this book and that it will be more developped than this one. The book would have been better I think without those elements trying to make it more than just an erotic book.
Oh Jay sometimes you really turn me on, "don't ever run from me, Cassie. I like to chase, but you might not like what happens when I catch you." Sometimes Jay has to soothe Cassie's thoughts on certain things, "shh," he kissed her gently, 'arousal is not something to ever be embarrassed about. And no one was laughing about you or talking about you. If they had been, I would've kicked their a**." Sometimes men like things a certain way and Cassie gets confused as to what in the hell Jay is talking about, "you deserve a spanking for this." His gaze caught by the curls between her thighs. Was he upset because she had pubic hair? Had he expected her to shave herself clean for him?" I liked this book but not as much as the first one in the series.
The author of this story quickly sucked me into this engrossing tale. Cassie and Jay are well-developed and realistic characters. Cassie has a lot of issues left over from a less than stellar childhood and low self-esteem is the worst of them. She just cannot believe Jay can be in love with her, but her feelings are understandable, especially when she is left alone in the hospital while Jay goes to New York to guard busty Dusty. Cassie meets some interesting characters in her new town, and I am hoping the author continues the series quickly so I can read more about them, especially Cassie’s mysterious “brother”.
