Chasing Infinity
It’s a funny thing coming back to a place that was once your home, and Noah is realizing how true that is after he steps foot in his hometown Willow Heights. Ten years ago, Noah shamelessly left everything—and everyone—behind. But upon his return, he discovers that although there are many reasons to pack his belongings and get out again, there’s one stronger reason to stay—her.
Addison Parks exudes entrepreneurial spirit by owning Willow Heights’ most popular small diner. Though it’s not what she initially planned for her life, now, with her friends by her side, she wouldn’t change a thing. She has everything she’s ever wanted until an unexpected piece of her home returns—him.
Immediately caught up in each other once again, Noah and Addison face challenges that ten years apart haven’t resolved. Noah’s return has brought new complications and secrets that intrigue Addison, but he refuses to divulge them. Before they can have their happily ever after, Noah will have to come to terms that in order to keep Addison safe from the demons he’s chasing, he’ll have to trust that they can have each other’s backs for now until infinity.

Con la mitad de páginas se podía contar perfectamente la historia. Hay mucho relleno.

This is the debut of the author. The story follows Noah, the male protagonist, coming back to his home town Willow Heights. Ten years ago, Noah shamelessly left everything—and everyone—behind. But upon his return, he realizes that although there are many reasons to pack his belongings and get out again, there is one strong and main reason to stay— her. Addison Parks, the female protagonist. The owner of Willow Heights’ most popular small diner. Although it is not something she initially planned for her life, now, with her friends by her side, she would not change anything.
An unexpected piece of her home returns– him. But his return has brought new complications and secrets that intrigue Addison, but he refuses to spill them. Before they can have their happily ever after, Noah will have to come to terms with that in order to keep Addison safe from the demons he is chasing, he will have to trust that they can have each other’s backs for now until infinity.
Chasing Infinity is a second-chance romance with dual POVs and timelines. It was a bit long book but it gives the readers chance to know the characters. The plot was good with a hint of suspense. I had so many questions. What happened ten years ago? why would he leave her like that? But the past story solved all of them. The 50% book is in the past. But I am not complaining. Reading about little Addie and Noah was so much fun and cute. Do not get me started on Addie and Noah, these two are so adorable. I love their bickering when they were kids. They did not like her in the start, it was their routine to bicker with each other, every day and you know I am a sucker for enemies to lovers. From childhood to adulthood, their chemistry was amazing.
I love how detailed this book was. I loved all the characters except one – you will not like him either. The thing I loved the most was that we get to read their pov from their first meeting to when they meet again. We got to know about their lives when they were apart. It was a fast-paced book and I could not put it down. I was having anxiety at one scene where I was like something bad is going to happen. I loved reading this book. Recommending it.
Looking forward to reading more of this author’s book.

It started off okay and they were cute but there is nothing that needed to be over six hundred pages less than this book. I skipped their entire past because honestly at that point, who gives a shit? It just slows down the story for no reason. I put it together myself.
Also at the end Addison became so fucking stupid I’m honestly glad that happened to her. She deserved it for shrugging it off. Although again, after six hundred pages, you’d think it would have a more drawn out ending that one whole chapter dedicated to bringing him down. Whatever.
Don’t recommend because this is the opposite of a quick read and it truly was not worth it.

4.5 stars rounded up!!
If you are a lover of romantic suspense (think Devney Perry), I would highly recommend this! Chasing Infinity is my first Aria Harding novel and I am thoroughly impressed with her ability to tell a story that is deeply meaningful in plot and character development. Though it is long, the pacing is well done and I never felt like there was drag in the development.
Addison and Noah are angsty PERFECTION. And those spicy scenes though….. 😏😏😏😏🥵
I am SO grateful to have received an ARC from the author. Highly recommend and will be back for more!!!! 💜

‘Chasing infinity’ was not was I was expecting, but in a good way. It’s second chance romance, enemies to lovers, but there’s also a mystery/thriller component I wasn’t expecting. The detail and character building the author goes into is next level. I did hit a little lull in the middle but the finish is strong. It’s a long book, I feel like it could have been shortened a bit, but over all I enjoyed the plot and the characters.

It was the perfect balance of spicy scenes and plot!
The twists and turns and unexpected story lines were GREAT. Noah is such a good MMC! Parks is also really great! She’s strong for everything she’s had to deal with. It was a great book and I’m super grateful to of received an ARC and would absolutely recommend this being put on your TBR!
Small town, second chance romance, with a little bit of mystery and crime!

“Addison is the stars that light up my sky, and without her, I’m in darkness.”
I have to start off by admitting that I’m a sucker for a damaged MMC. If you’re like me, look no further— Noah Lockwood is your guy. Pair that with a headstrong FMC, and you’ve got Chasing Infinity!
Chasing Infinity is a multifaceted story with dual POVs AND timelines, giving its reader a chance to really get to know its characters. It has the perfect amount of romance, the perfect amount of spice, and a fun addition of suspense that I didn’t expect when I first picked it up. The book is long, but fast-paced, and I couldn’t put it down. Overall, I’d recommend adding it to your TBR!

“They slipped briskly into an intimacy from which they never recovered.” -F. Scott Fitzgerald
Do not let the size of this book talk you out of reading. It was worth every single freaking page. I found myself praying for bonus epilogue after bonus epilogue as I simply could not get enough of Noah and Addison.
This is one of those stories that continues to keep you locked in due to constant unraveling of new information and more questions posed throughout the entire read. Aria did such a wonderful job with the layout and writing alone, that this book stands out as a solid 5/5. Add in the actual story line? The characters? The spicy romance? The mystery/suspense? I would give it a 500/5 stars if I could.
• Enemies to Lovers
• Second Chance
• Small Town, Gilmore Girls vibe
' Headstrong FMC
• Protective Hero MMC
• Slow Burn
• Some of THE BEST SPICE 🤌🏼
All in all, there are so many little hidden gems through this read and I 100% will recommend this book to everyone I know and their grandmothers!

This is not your typical romance read. It definitely kept me on my toes. Although it’s long & there are parts that are detailed too much & doesn’t leave any to imagine, it was such a good read. I love the chemistry between the Male & Female characters. Can’t wait to read more from this author.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀: I liked the chemistry between Noah and Addison. I wish it started with the past and left the stuff out in the beginning or combined it all together after.

When I started reading Chasing Infinity, I expected it to be a very stereotypical enemies to lovers trope romance. How wrong was I? Not only did I get my expected dose of romance, but I also got plenty of true crime, mystery and suspense!
.
.
It’s such a detailed dual POV and you really do get to know the full ins and outs of both Addison and Noah. It’s a long book, but there is so much detail and information provided that you feel 100% drawn in from the get go and the suspense and mystery keep you captivated throughout. I really enjoyed the book being split into present and past too so we could get a better understanding of the characters and plot.
.
.
The only negative I would probably pick out (if I had to nit-pick) would be that it was a tad too spicy for me. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind a bit of spice but I felt like some of those sections could have been shortened or left to the imagination in order to move the story along a little.
.
.
Overall though, I really did enjoy reading this ARC and I would definitely read more of Aria’s work.

I really enjoyed this book, it isn’t your typical small town romance, there is a mystery aspect to it. A little background suspense and true crime. The main characters are Noah and Addison. They go through a lot together and a lot individually, but they persevere. This book is very detailed, you can picture exactly what the author is describing. It is a big book, but there is a lot going on. I highly recommend.

4.5 out of 5 stars
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. This is the first book of the author's that I've read and I'm interested in reading more from her. It's her debut novel &,although some scenes could've been cut & the story may be too long for some, it was a decent debut. The book's blurb gives you an idea of what to expect, though the story will still surprise, & do pay attention to the author's foreword. It's an epic second chance love story of two hearts that were always meant to be together told through both Noah & Addison's pov.
Noah & Addison's love story is decades long. They went from being enemies to frenenemies to lovers to exes. When the book begins, we are in the now seeing them as they are reunited after many years. The middle part of the book flashes back to the past showing us how they fell in love.Personally, I did enjoy the flashback in the middle & liked seeing them go from enemies to lovers. Also, I loved seeing Noah's realizations about his feelings for Addison & the kind of person he wanted to be, which led him to be who he is when we first meet him. &, of course, the later end of the book returns back to the present. Through it all, the author does a great job in giving us a detailed account of what Noah & Addison were thinking & feeling.
Although he's a bit broken because of the circumstances, Noah isn't completely defeated & is protective. Given his father & the situation, it's impossible not to feel for Noah when he's hopeless & root for him to win. When it comes to Addison, I love how he fell first & how hard he fell for her. As for Addison, she is a woman who has suffered hurts but isn't scared about what she wants. Her breakup with Noah was one that she never got over but she did her best to pick up her pieces. But, even when Noah & Addison weren't together, you could tell the influence they had on each other. I loved how much Noah loved Addison & how she made him be a better man. & I loved their chemistry & how natural it was for them to be together.
Their romance is a slow burn & it's done so well. If you love longing & angst between two lovers that never got over each other, then you won't be let down. There's also enough spice to keep readers satisfiedthough I enjoyed their emotional moments much more. You will like Addison's supportive friends I didn't really care for Eli but he does redeem himself a bit at the end ) & maybe would've liked to see more of Noah's friends in the present though with Noah's job it makes sense why they don't appear as much). The conflict & suspense is good leaving you shocked with a couple of twists. Overall, Noah & Addison's story was touching & I'm glad to have read it. I look forward to seeing what else the author releases in the future. My last two sentences are why I rounded up my rating to a 5.

This book is not only epic in length but it is, without a shred of doubt, the most beautiful book I have ever read.
Aria Harding has surpassed many of the big name authors, in my opinion, with the absolutely stunning, sweet and oh so unforgettable love story, because that’s exactly what this is; the purest and deepest of love stories I’ve ever read, and I have read a lot of books!!
There are a lot of moving parts to this story but Aria Harding has handled them like the professional she is. Each and every character, nuance and emotion is given no less than all the love they need to fully portray such addictive perfection.
Charlie, Eli, Grace, Jordan and Caleb are fantastic characters. They play a key role throughout the story and compliment each other perfectly.
They bring an undeniable depth to each interaction.
Noah is…. I mean he’s everything a woman could want. He’s just the whole package. Yeah, he’s been a jerk in the past, but you know what, what teenage boy isn’t a jerk at times.
As he grows up you see the potential of the man he is turning into. When he loves, he loves deep and watching him fall hook, line and sinker for Parks (l love her nickname!!) was spellbinding.
Noah has been raised in a toxic environment, but despite that he’s a man with a strong moral compass. A man determined to bring evil to justice and avenge the deaths of those who didn’t deserve it.
He makes the ultimate sacrifice for love. I wanted to smack him upside the head and demand he find another way, but at the same time I wanted to commend him for doing what he perceived to be the right thing.
Parks is a beautiful character. She has such a strength of character that she floors me. The losses she endures would have anyone else curled into a ball in a corner, hiding from the world. But not Parks, she takes her grief and pain and uses it as determination to move forward.
Watching Noah and Parks life develop as we closely follow them is awe inspiring. We get a first row seat to a love so deep and abiding it’s almost ethereal.
We walk beside these characters listening to their pain and suffering because the other half of their soul is missing.
This isn’t a simple and straight forward love story which I think adds to its uniqueness. There are a number of twists and turns, some so small you think they’re incidental, but they’re not. Added together they build a picture that we didn’t see coming.
Aria Harding has an obvious and true talent for her art. This spectacular rollercoaster ride will pull every emotion possible from you, leaving you begging for more.
The book has taken up permanent residence in my heart. I have never read a book quite like it.
Have you ever read a book that leaves you so depleted and hungover you can’t even contemplate reading another book yet? Well that’s me.
This truly is the best love story I have ever had the honour of reading.
I simply cannot recommend this book highly enough.
There aren’t enough stars in the night sky to adequately portray the unforgettable beauty, the heart aching bond, and the perfection that flows seamlessly from the pages.

At the beginning of the book, debut author Aria Harding warns the reader that Chasing Infinity is long for a purpose. It is an epic love story that spans over a decade.
We are introduced to Noah and Addison in the middle of their story after they have been forced to spend years apart. While the reason for this split becomes evident throughout the story, it's clear from the beginning how deep their connection is. They are never far from each other's minds, even though time, distance, and other relationships have separated them. This is the kind of bond that any romance writer dreams of creating between characters. It isn't just sexual heat, it's deep understanding. A love that we all wish for and that is such a joy to read about.
My favorite section of the book happens midway through, when we are transported back in time to see the foundational moments of Noah and Addison's relationship. While it was jarring to be in the present and then suddenly sent on a journey to the past, I'm glad Aria Harding made the choice to show their high school moments. It's such a pleasure to see enemies become lovers in an ordinary book, but in an epic and deeply emotional story, it's essential. Watching their bond deepen, seeing those adorable moments of hardened feelings that soften, hands suddenly holding, and first kisses made me root for them even harder in the present.
There's a few trigger warnings for Chasing Infinity. While it sounds very cutesy so far, the big climax of the book deals with human trafficking, so if you are at all triggered by a villain who is that bad, then perhaps this isn't the book for you. Also, the spice in this book is incredibly hot. Like, five pepper emojis hot. There were a couple of times that I, as a self-proclaimed spice lover, had to put down my phone and fan my face. It was beautiful, but if you don't like spice, this might not be for you.
My only qualm with this book was length, though as I mentioned, the author does warn the reader. I think some strategic edits on descriptions of cafe-ownership could have cut back, but it helped set the stage and made the story all the more interesting. Overall, this was a very strong debut, a great read, and I totally recommend it, especially for the enemies to lovers aspect.

So i will be keeping my review about this book short because i don't want spoil this book for everyone and some people don't appreciate reading a book after knowing it's storyline.
So the main charcters of this book Noah and Addison were perfect definition of enemies to lovers and soulmates.
Well, there is a saying that "there is a very thin between love hate". That is exactly what happened with them, they both were to busy in hating each other that they didn't even realise that they cross the line.
So well moving forward something happened that separates them and forced Noah to leave the town.
After they meet again when Noah comes in town for her mother funeral. They both again feel the magnetic pull toward each other but there are some things that are keeping them away from each other.
i will giving you all a teeny tiny spoiler that there is a villian in this book and you all will be hating him from page 1.
In short, it was an wonderful read and an emotional rollercoaster ride for me. I was literally dying for suspense like,"Who did this" and "Why is this happening". ariaharding literally left me speechless when all the plots reveals and i was like "this is why this happened. I would like to thank you for providing me this ARC of your debut novel. I hope you all also love this book like i love this.
I think i didn t made this review as short as i wanted to because i was so exicted while writing this review. Well who cares i love this book and that's all matters.

i will giving you all a teeny tiny spoiler that there is a villian in this book and you all will be hating him from page 1.
In short, it was an wonderful read and an emotional rollercoaster ride for me. I was literally dying for suspense like,"Who did this" and "Why is this happening". ariaharding literally left me speechless when all the plots reveals and i was like "this is why this happened. I would like to thank you for providing me this ARC of your debut novel. I hope you all also love this book like i love this.
I think i didn t made this review as short as i wanted to because i was so exicted while writing this review. Well who cares i love this book and that's all matters.

📚📚 Review 📚📚
Book : Chasing Infinity
Page Count: 638
Tropes: Enemies to lovers / Second Chance
Subgenre: Romantic Suspense
Triggers: Mention of physical abuse by a parent, emotional abuse by a parent, death of a parents to a fire, and themes referencing human trafficking, some violence
Ratings : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The story of Addison and Noah was a perfect example of "right person, wrong time", even after loving each other, they couldn't be together, and their innocent love got trapped in the dirty game that was played by their own person.
The story was basically divided into 3 parts: present, past, and then again the present part, which was the most anticipated one.
Each part of this book was filled with love, emotions, friendship goals, family drama, and a perfect dirty game, which added a thrill to the story.
Addison and Noah's love story was explained in minute detail from the start of their school life; the growth in their relationship and falling apart were explained in vivid detail.
I especially liked their childhood part; it was entertaining to read their changing feelings for each other, and then their intense love story was mesmerizing to read.
The climax, twist and suspense of the story were unpredictable, and it kept me hooked. The author managed to keep the story intriguing with her wonderful writing skills and a few unpredictable twists.
It was a lengthy read, but a beautiful one, for sure.

Thank you to Brey’s Book Tours and Aria Harding for providing me with a digital copy of this book. This is my honest review.
-
Part romance, part thriller, part slice of life, Chasing Infinity had a lot to bring to the table! I enjoyed the way Harding meshed these together to deliver a story that was both moved both quickly and leisurely. It kept me engaged while allowing me to enjoy a lot of the smaller moments between Addison and Noah.
-
Small town romance, enemies to lovers, second chance romance, close proximity. Noah and Addison have it all! You really get to see all phases of their relationship from beginning to end. It plays really well into the suspense growing simultaneously in the background. As their relationship grows, so do the stakes.
-
My one qualm is that this book was much longer than I anticipated and it took me several days to work my way through. Which is partially my fault for running right past the page count. Harding acknowledges the length and density in her author’s note, but, with an almost episodic form of storytelling, I think this story would have been beautiful spread across multiple volumes.
-
While daunting, I still enjoyed this read. If you like small town, second chance romances with some suspense in the mix, give Chasing Infinity a shot!

I recently had the pleasure to read an ARC of Chasing Infinity and let me tell ya, guys! This book! I loved it so much! Noah and Addison were great MCs and I loved all the side characters! I loved the small town feel of the story and how the characters have all known each other for decades and were still so close. I have always wanted to live in a town where everyone knows everyone.
The story, although a little lengthy, was a fast read for me, didn’t feel like it dragged on like some of the longer books do. I was actually pretty shocked when I realized it was as long as it is (I think Kindle says it’s 684 pages!). I loved the character development and getting to know and understand each of the MCs, the choices they made, but still root for them because they were obvious soulmates who just needed to get out of their own way.
This book made me laugh, cry and the suspense was not one I was expecting. If you are looking for an epic love story, pick up your copy of Chasing Infinity, available now on Kindle and paperback.
Thank you Aria Harding for the opportunity to be a part of your ARC team! Can’t wait for more!

NOTE: I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review
▪️Noah is back in his hometown after leaving everything- including Addison- over 10 years ago with no explanation. With his return to town, comes the return of old feelings and new as they try to overcome challenges, including the secret that drove Noah away.
▪️the book is broken into 3 parts focusing on current day, the past and back to current day. It really helps give you an idea of how both Noah and Addison grew as characters and how their relationship evolved.
▪️the first part is a bit slower as there's a lot of set up, but the pace definitely quickens by the second part
▪️alternating POVs
▪️the 1st part sets you up with a lot of questions- which are answered in the remaining parts! Promise!
▪️when you learn Noah's secret(s), it will definitely be a bit of a twist- especially when he started to fill Addison in on them
▪️the ending. the ending. The ending. I could not put this down, especially once Addison left to close up the diner that night. Iykyk.
▪️tropes: small town romance, enemies to lovers, found family, second chance romance, slow burn
▪️great for fans of romance (see tropes above), suspense, hallmark movies in book form, devney perry

When I tell you this book is amazing, it's AMAZING!! enjoyed reading this book sooo much I honestly couldn't put it down. I love how the book starts of with the present and right at the good part your left with a cliffhanger. It jumps to years back in the past where it all started and it puts all the pieces together for you. Then it goes back to the present.
Honestly when I saw the contents I thought It would be confusing to read in that order but it definitely wasn't. I love how Aria never gives off too much on what Noah does for a living and even with the little clues she give you, you just never really know for sure.
The character growth is amazing and K really enjoyed the dual POV, especially because Noah is portrayed as a tough guy but one who is also sweet and caring and isn't afraid to show it.
I would Love to say more about the book but I don't wanna spoil it for anyone. Definitely should give it a read

This book was all good!! I was lucky enough to get an ARC of this and so glad I did. This was the first book I’ve e read of Aria’s and it won’t be my last!! There were twists and turns I didn’t expect (some I did), but was overall excited about why Noah left Addison 10 years ago.
Noah was a bully as a young teenager and with a dad like he had, I’m surprised he was able to turn his life into something notable. He turned into a great man who would do anything for the girl he loves!!
Addison (or Addie or Parks) is good to the core. She came from loving parents who raised her to see the good in people and love hard. Even after she lost them, she never let their deaths take away her ability to make the world a better place. I love the life she built in her small town even though the love of her life left her.
I loved getting to see them current and in the past in the different parts of the book and I loved most that they got their happy ending!!

I had the honor to be on Aria Harding ARC team for Chasing Infinity. Chasing Infinity is the debut novel from Aria Harding and she knocked it out of the park!
Chasing Infinity is an amazing spicy small town romance with some great suspense. Noah and Addie went from enemies to lovers to lovers and back to second chance lovers. They had so much chemistry. Their love story was beautiful and they are ride or die for each other! I loved the angst I loved the small town feel of the book with all of the amazing side characters.
There are three parts to this book. Part 1 is in the current timeline, part 2 is from the past and part 3 goes back to the current timeline. I loved getting the background on all of the characters throughout of the book.
The book was definitely a little lengthy but it was all worth it in the end!

This was a really great romantic suspense with relatable characters, plenty of spice, and a couple you will be rooting for.
This book is a long one, but well worth the ride. Told in 3 parts we jump in present day until a major event leaving us on a bit of a cliffhanger occurs, the middle part goes back and follows Noah and Addison from their first meeting to the present, and then the third part picks back up at the cliffhanger and really kicks it up from there.
Noah’s character arc as a teenager was fantastic. I loved watching him realize that the person he was becoming wasn’t who he wanted to be (you’ll have to read for more than that!). The teenage years are when the enemies/rivals to lovers really comes in to play.

Chasing Infinity is a small town, second chance romantic suspense with dual timelines and POV’s. Be prepared that this book is almost 700 pages, which is a lot, but you get a really good detailed plot as well as character development. And honestly, I had no problem getting through this book in a couple of days. Loved the balance of mystery and suspense in the present time line as well as the detailed characterization from school age to adulthood. The book had a good element of crime/mystery that wasn’t overshadowed by the romance and I’m always a big fan of dual POVs. So overall an enjoyable read that could have been a tad shorter but I did appreciate the more detailed story line. 3.5⭐️

I received this book for an ARC review. It’s about a man returning back to his hometown after learning of his mothers death. However he’s reunited with his ex whom he never got over and sees her with someone else. The two start to rekindle their love interest when all hell breaks loose with the MMC. You learn about his secret identity and what mission he’s trying to accomplish while the woman he loves is trying to do anything to help him. It’s a very long book with a HEA ending. Personally I lost interest halfway through and started skimming because most just seemed repetitive. Overall not a bad book - just too long in my opinion.

Though this book is longer than most romance books, I find I still want to read more about Addison and Noah. Their story may have left me feeling a little wrung out emotionally, but it also left me smiling and imagining a wonderful future for them both. Their’s is an epic love story forged by heartache, forgiveness and a determination to claim and hold onto each other’s heart. It involves secrets, seeking redemption and retribution. and finally reclaiming the love neither could forget or discard. I love their inner strength, their resilience, their courage and their faith in each other. They definitely deserve a very happy future together.

If you like the below, you'd love this book:
-Enemies to lovers
-Second chance
-Small town
-Slow burn
-Spice
My favorite thing about Chasing Infinity was Aria's writing - This is her debut novel and you'd never know based on her writing! This was written beautifully. Aria managed to capture so many details, from the small town the story took place in, to the little details of the characters feelings. This girl KNOWS how to tell a good story!
I loved the story, but when I say it's a slow burn, it really is a slow burn. It's also a longer read, so be prepared. BUT you get a GREAT love story - Just like Noah and Allie from the Notebook, type of feels.

Okay, let me warn you... This is a biga$$ book. BUT!
So, so worth reading!
I know there are readers who prefer just getting "the gist of it", but I'm one of those who loves all the little moments that make a love story meaningful, and this book has an abundance of them.
Throw in a good amount of angst, spice, and even some suspense and mystery, and it's a no-brainer.
I absolutely loved this! Impressive debut. 🙌
💔 Angst: 4/5
🔥 Spice 4/5
👤 Character development 5/5
🌍 World-building 5/5
📝 Plot 5/5
*I received an ARC copy, and this is my honest review.
