Chase & Chloe
Chloe’s life has never been the easiest ride, and now she finds herself in chaos and running away from home in her abusive stepfather’s stolen car. When she breaks down in the middle of nowhere, she doesn’t expect to come face to face with Chase; eldest son to the leader of the notoriously feared Horsemen Motorcycle Club.
With nowhere to go and no one to turn to, Chloe reluctantly accepts Chase’s offer of a place to stay, despite her knowing that he can’t be trusted. This big, bad, biker can’t mean any good, can he?
"Once again the characters come to life in this story and you can't help but keep turning the page to find out what happens next. This stories twists are hard to guess. And the plot is a refreshing twist on the bad boy/good girl genre. If you haven't read anything else from this author I would thoroughly recommend giving this novel a go." - Joanna B.

Angst, angst, angst. Chase and Chloe had me tied up in knots from the beginning. They have nothing in common. Chase is 31, the president of the feared Horsemen MC, he's a womanizer, the only thing that matters to him is his family and the club, he's a killer. Chloe is 19, the beautiful, abused daughter of a cop/cult leader, she's a virgin, and she cares for no one, maybe not even herself. He's jaded, she's innocent. Yet when Chase comes across Chloe by her broken down car on the side of the road it's the beginning of a tumultuous relationship.
This is a compelling book that nicely balances the dark world of a motorcycle club where laws and life have no value and a budding romance between two people who don't know how to be together. It's told in multiple POV's. It's full of action, suspense, and some sexy scenes. They face threats, betrayals, and danger. It's high on attraction and frustration. There's a large well developed cast of characters, The Mckenzie brothers are all sexy and deadly. Chase is the leader, Marc the protector, Archie the medic, Declan the intelligence, Dan the mechanic and the youngest Oliver is the techie. The sisters Jess and Sammie add a youthful enthusiasm and lightness to each scene they are in. The brothers add a complicated dynamic. Despite family love and loyalty they create more conflict than their enemies. Chloe's step-father Joe is a worthy villain and Jenkins is a great friend with potential for more. The main focus is on Chase and Chloe and the book's success is due to them. I have a love/hate relationship with both characters and with them being together. Chase is an alpha. He's sexy and charismatic. He also has a terrible temper and a cruel streak. For every gentle moment or kind act, he follows it up with a brutal hurt. Chloe is damaged. She has low self-esteem and no ability to trust. Chase doesn't do relationships, only one-night stands. Chloe runs to protect herself. They have plenty of sexual attraction, but can't communicate or be honest with each other. They should be good together, instead it's all misunderstandings and fights. It does build the tension. However, after Marc gives Chase the wrong idea about an incident, there is a week of behavior on Chase's behalf that is unforgivable. After the first night's actions there should have been no way Chloe would consider a relationship with Chase. EVER. Some things can't be accepted, forgotten or forgiven. He went too far. Instead the first time he gives her attention after this, she submits entirely to him. NO! The timing is wrong. There is no time for redemption, no time for hurts to be healed. It leaves her looking pathetic and with no pride. And it's not like he was Prince Charming from this point on. This damaged him and them in my eyes. It was hard for me to accept. For me this was much worse than any abuse she suffered at the hands of her step-father. Yet they both show character growth by the end. It was awesome to see Chloe stake her claim!
All in all this book had me obsessed for 24 hours. I could not put it down. Then it shockingly ended with a horrible cliffhanger that left me screaming. I need to know: Does Chloe take control of her life? Does Chase learn to control his temper? Do these two learn how to be together? Do they get their HEA or are they not meant to be? I need to see Chase prove to his brothers, the MC, and especially Chloe that she is his everything, his forever. I need more!!

I really enjoyed Chase and Chloe's story. It had heart, suspense and plenty of romance.
I would have preferred the age gap to have been smaller. Chloe is a very vulnerable nineteen year old and I would have preferred Chase to have been in his mid twenties. It is easy to imagine him being younger than thirty as he doesn't behave very maturely.
One of the things I enjoyed most about this book was Chase's family, particularly Oliver and Marc and I hope they get their own story. Chloe's gym friend, Jenkins, was also a nice character who I wouldn't mind reading more about. I loved the suspenseful elements involving Chloe's stepfather and the the scenes where the brothers worked together to keep an eye on Chloe, without her knowledge, and when they stepped in to protect her when things got out of hand. The brothers also added a humour to the story in their flirting with Chloe, teasing of Chase and generally giving him a hard time when he is being an idiot. I liked the different narrations from the viewpoints of the main characters, chiefly Chase and Chloe, and to a lesser degree his brothers.
The story could have been cut a little bit shorter if there had been less repetitive scenes, eg. Chloe runs away after getting her feelings hurt, Chloe runs away after misunderstandings, Chloe pulls away from relationship because she's scared etc. And just when I thought the two had their act together Chloe decides to leave again. Chase really lives up to his name in this book because he spends most of time running after her.
Despite this I really enjoyed the book. Once I began reading the story I was hooked and I stayed up til 4am to finish reading it.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reading copy.

"I stomped on my cigarette and headed towards him. If he knew what was good for him, he would take my warning and back off. Chloe had put her life on hold because of us. Chase loved her, and considering Chase had always given things up for us, this was nothing. I wouldn't rest until Chloe was back where she belonged.".......
Chloe is just nineteen, and running from the hands of an abusive stepfather. An accident in the car she stole, to run away in, lands her right on the radar of a biker named Chase.
Chase isn't any run of the mill outlaw. He is the main outlaw. President of his motorcycle club, left to him by his late father. Chase's brothers are also part of his pack. On the other side Chase takes care of his family, mom, sisters and his brothers. So when he finds Chloe he is completely drawn into caring for this wreck of a runaway.
Chase's lifestyle, and Chloe's abusive past, make for some roadblocks. Undeniably attracted to each other, there are things that will come between them. Especially when Chloe's step father comes looking for her.
This bad boy biker romance was filled with action, suspense, and a few well placed surprises. Not overly done in the explicit department, which I appreciate as a reader. I don't want to read on and on about the sex. I want the story!
Can Chloe find a way to Chase? His family will provide some of their own roadblocks. Can Chase break through to Chloe's heart? Trust issues abound. The law is never too far behind either.
Another great book by this author. I see the ending as a definite road to another "Chase and Chloe" book.
Thank you Simone Elise and Inkitt Publishing

received copy for honest review
This story took me a while to get into because of the Chase and Chloe. The characters were a little immature. You can understand Chloe's immaturity because she was 19. Chase was 30 and the president of a MC. His inner dialogue was very high school. There was a lot of "does she/he like me, why would she/he like me. Sometimes he managed to act like a hard biker, but a lot of times he fell short. He brothers were not much better. As far as bikers are concerned, this crew was not very savvy. Some of their actions left me wondering how they were not all in jail or dead. That being said, the story did pick up towards the last half. Chloe grew a pair and handled things a little better. I grew to like her character. Chase still has some growing to do. His character was getting better but then we had the cliffhanger. So we will have to wait to see how much he grows.
The story itself was good. There is a lot of drama and angst. There were a lot of misunderstandings that got in the way of Chloe and Chase getting together. There are a lot of unanswered situations that we need cleared up.

This author is a good one I enjoy reading and this book was just as good as her other books I have read. I think the age difference was a little hard to believe for me but I guess I wanted Chloe to be a little older. But over all the book was a well written story and a fun read for me. I do enjoy " bad boys" as much as the next reader. :) This book was a good pager turner for me. I wanted to read more. * I received this book from the author and this is my honest review*

*Received an ARC in exchange for a honest review*(This review is spoiler free.)
That was a total cheap thrill.
Usually i have much to say about a book because i either liked it that much or didn't or was disappointing, etc-etc, but here all my views come down to things i liked and things i didnt, because this book was like a cheap thrill. I wasnt "wowed" by the story nor was it interesting yet, somehow it made me want to finish the book, which is saying something because most of the times i just leave the book at "DNF" if the story was anything but interesting.
So i guess this review wont have deep insights but more of a 'Pros & Cons' of reading this book.
This story is about Chloe who had an abused past and had runaway from home to start a new chapter, leaving all the pain behind in a spur of a moment decision, but before the journey could even begin in true sense, she literally crashes and meets Chase and a whole whirlwind of romance starts.
Pros:
This book is a total chick-lit. If you are going through a book slump then this book can help you get out of it. The story pace is fast enough that it will keep you engaged throughout the book , and you wont feel the need to skip over certain paragraphs. The writing style is also pretty good and the author knows how to alternate between male and female POVs, by which i mean that when you are reading the male POV, it is believable and wont feel similar the female character, which happens more often than you like when the same author is attempting to write both the POVs. The supporting characters are super likable. Personally, 2 of my favorite characters were not the protagonists but 2 of chase's brothers. If you read the the book you will know which 2 brothers it could be. That's about it for the PROs for me.
Cons:
This list is probably going to be bigger than the PROs. When i read the book i liked the writing style and felt it was really decent for a first time author but it was only later i realized it was not a debut book, and that the author had many releases before this one, which greatly affected my view because now in retrospect, the writing style was poor and could have been much much better.
Throughout the book i was really irritated by the female lead, as she was just portrayed as whiny, attention seeker and really confused about what she wants. Now one would say that it was because she had an abusive past, but that whole "abusive part" was handled so poorly in this series that i could hardly sympathise and hence made no significant impression for me. The story(book) itself felt like 2 different parts. You would think it is going in one direction and suddenly right from the middle of the book it takes a different tangent which was not even needed and also didn't prove to be importanat in any way or format the end other than making it long. The whole MC factor made me start the book in the first place but other than the male lead being the MC, not even a little bit of actual MC life/scenes/happenings were portrayed....and no, just because the lead had gun and killed whoever without the fear of police on his fancy bike does not mean its a MC portrayal. He could have as well been a mafia, thug, daredevil, or just a pompous dude for all that mattered. The end too was way to predictable.
Having said all that, like i said, this book did have some sort of thing going on for it, cause even though it was bad, it was in a way good enough for me to want to finish it.(If that even makes any sense, or may be it was just the mood i was in, i dont really know)
I genuinely feel that i would have liked the book much more it it was a good 100 pages shorter without the unnecessary tangent to it and minus the going back and forth of the female lead.
WOULD I READ THIS BOOK AGAIN: NO, NEVER.
WOULD I READ ANOTHER BOOK BY THE SAME AUTHOR: NOPE, NOT HAPPENING.
Happy reading :D

I was sent this book by the publisher to read and review. This book has some real outlaws. They're not just badass, but also outlaws and franchised in several states in Australia. Chase, the President, has five brothers, also members, and a tradition of MC, inherited from their father. One night, Chase was running for exercise, and comes upon this broken down car in the road. Inside is a beautiful blond girl, who kept a hand over her cheek. He helps her out giving her a place to stay since it's very late at night and there's no hotel in town. She wants to leave the car and get out-of-town in a bus. Chase was instantly attracted to Chloe and felt protective towards her. Once he discovered that her cheek had a bruise caused by her stepfather, he lost no time retaliating for this abuse.
Chloe doesn't trust any man, and you could easily guess that she had an abusive childhood at the hands of her stepfather. Even with the distrust, she also felt the attraction to Chase. And here start the problems. Chase is thirty and Chloe is nineteen. Chase wants her but feels too old and not good enough for such a sweet, beautiful woman. And when men don't feel worthy or want someone they feel they can't have, they behave like jerks. The whole book we have repeated incidents in which they get along and the romance is progressing but Chase gets his jerk behavior on, and Chloe runs away. We get around five instances where Chloe runs away and either Chase or his brothers have to go look for her and bring her back. Until one event where Chloe takes it upon herself to save Chase from the persecution instituted by her stepfather, who we learned is a reputed detective in the police.
What I liked about the book; the brotherhood between Chase and his brothers and sisters. They had furious moments and funny moments. For Chase, his family was his first priority, his club second. His sisters got whatever they wanted from him. Chloe was sweet but she was very insecure and didn't trust men. She developed her confidence in Chase slowly but it was very slow. She developed a great friendship with Chase's brothers and they ended up taking her side of issues. In return, she cooked and did laundry for them and won them over forever.
Chase solved all his problems the hard way, with fists and guns. I didn't like that part. I like a guy who is intelligent and cunning, he wasn't. All the cold and hot moments they had fed me up until the last part where there was devotion even in the distance. When Chloe was taken away from him and his freedom was in danger, he finally acted with cunning and protected her from afar. He was still a hot head but his brothers took up the slack and did the best job. It was a very riveting story, even if many actions were outside the law.

I have read and love all simone's books. This one is a little different read. Yes this is a love story between Chase and Chloe. Chase is the ultimate bad boy, President of the Horseman, eldest brother and father figure of his family. Chase has a large family and their dynamics are great. I hope their will be addtl. books about each of the brothers. Chloe is a young, abused, naive runaway. Chase finds her the night she ran away. He knows she is young and shouldn't be interested. Chase does not give up and Chloe has a fear of men and trusting. Her first instinct is to run. Chase does not give up and would follow Chloe to the end of the earth or maybe I should say send his brothers to follow Chloe and bring her back. The dynamics with chloe and Oliver is laugh out loud funny. This is a great read and would recommend it. I will be anxiously awaiting her next Book.

Emotional Ride
Terrified heroine meets bad boy biker. Turbulent events interspersed with tender moments. Fear and distrust turn into love and hope. Hopefully this is the start to a series as the background characters are just as compelling as the hero and heroine.

Suspense much??
I loved reading this book from beginning to end. Every page was so exciting. The ending have me wanting more of them. Did she say yes? I have a huge feeling she did. I have so many questions. I need more of Chase & Chloe.

Good
I would have like some closure on her stepdad. Never found out if he died or not only assumptions. Also would have liked more from their relationship after the finally got together. We’ve been waiting for the whole book for it to happen and then left with so little.

The ending was terrible. I'm not even sure why I kept reading it after the 10th chapter of the same back and forth debate between Chase and Chloe, but silly me, I did. And now I'll never get those precious hours I wasted reading this book back.

There’s always something charming about the “damsel in distress’ trope for me; especially when the damsel ends up being a strong female character, fighting the insecurities that she may have had in the past – it is a success story more than the romance that tugs at my heart – the reason why I had picked up this boom for review.
Chloe is a girl on the run; not a woman, a 19 year old girl.A girl on the run from an s\abusive authority figure; and she has seen a whole lot in the little years she has been on this earth. All she wants to do is survive as the day comes.
Chase Mackenzie, on the other hand, is a jaded biker. Part of an outlaw MC Club, he rides in the fast lane; isn’t interested in any female beyond the one night but will give his life for his family and his club. Loyalty is all that matters to him – and the fact that his club lives on the other side of the law isn’t much of a matter to him.
Chase and Chloe meet on a stormy night when he saves her from a car crash – and thus begins a wild relationship.
There are multiple POVs in this book – you are introduced to a whole set of characters, like the Mackenzie family and as with all boisterous families; they also end up creating more drama than was required for the plot.
I have to be honest though, there was a time when I almost wanted to give up on this book; one thing I DO NOT LIKE IN A ROMANCE is the miscommunication between MC’s; this level of immaturity was to be expected from a 19 year old girl, but the fact that a 30 year old man didn’t show his maturity literally and figuratively pissed me off!
And THAT ENDING? What the frackety frack was that? I had absolutely no closure – I NEED DETAILS; and hence I am gonna be stalking the author to see if there will be more books in this world!

** ARC provided by the author for an honest review **
The newest MC book by Simone Elise, Chase & Chloe, focuses on the club president and the broken girl he wants. Told from multiple viewpoints besides the main characters, this story is about the struggle to find and keep love and ends in a cliffhanger. *Please note that some events in this book could be triggers; abuse, violence, and attempted rape.
Chase McKenzie is the president of the Horsemen, a MC his father started. He is the oldest of eight and his family looks to him for guidance. While out on his nightly run he comes across a broken down car and the gorgeous, yet young Chloe. There are no motels in town and seeing that she is injured and cold, Chase offers her to stay with him. One night and a few revelations later, Chase extends the offer to help her escape while under the protection of him and his brothers, also members of the Horsemen.
Chloe Marshall has lived a life that is far from a fairytale as there is. Tired of the abuse, she steals her step-father’s car and wallet and runs. Unfortunately she doesn't get too far before she has car trouble. Lucky for her that an extremely handsome biker just happens to find her. Chase’s magnetic pull on her threatens everything she has come to know, mainly that men cannot be trusted.
Chase is an outlaw. Chloe is running from her past. Both are trying to protect the other. Can they come to terms with their feelings amongst the betrayals and threats? Can Chloe stop running and allow Chase help fight her battles?
This book is intense.! The subject matter and events are serious and Simone Elise did a fantastic job of not glamourizing or under telling how things of that nature are. To keep the reader from falling too far into the darkness, characters like Oliver and the other McKenzie brothers and sisters, inject a lightness and much needed relief throughout. Fair warning this book is longer than most, but it is worth it. I can't wait to read what happens next, possibly with a different McKenzie as the lead. I give this book 4 outlaw stars!

Chase & Chloe by Simone Elise Review 7/13/17
Welcome back Sons of Anarchy……
A tale of romance, danger and suspense; Chase and Chloe is a thrilling ride that you’ll find tough to slow down on! Chloe’s life has never been the easiest ride, and now she finds herself in chaos and running away from home in her abusive stepfather’s stolen car. When she breaks down in the middle of nowhere, she doesn’t expect to come face to face with Chase; eldest son to the leader of the notoriously feared Horsemen Motorcycle Club. With nowhere to go and no one to turn to, Chloe reluctantly accepts Chase’s offer of a place to stay, despite her knowing that he can’t be trusted. This big, bad, biker can’t mean any good, can he?
What did I like? I loved the TV series Sons of Anarchy and was so sad when it went off the air. They should definitely do this book and go from there. Of course, it goes without saying that I fell in love with the storyline and all of the characters except one and I will let you figure out that one. I can only say that he is one character that I absolutely hated!!!!!!! As one of the reviewers said when these characters come to life you will not be able to put this book down and I literally cried when it was finished….. I WANT MORE!!!!! This is my first book from this author but I can tell you right now it is not the last…. I am downloading everything I can get my hands on.
What will you like? Action, mystery, romance, sex, unbelievable chemistry, great characters and a storyline that will blow you away. From page one to the last one there are so many things going on and the characters just literally come off the pages into your heart. The action is heart wrenching and fast. The sex is mind blowing! The romance is complicated, to say the least! You will cry, shout, scream, curse and laugh so hard that you will cry. Don’t miss the best read you can have…. I just pray that the author will continue with this cast of characters!

4 stars!! What a great MC love story!!
I believe there is going to be a sequel to this book but can be read as a stand alone. But with that somewhat cliffy I NEED another book!! Better yet please write a book on ALL the McKenzie boys!!
❣️This is Chloe and Chase's story....
Chloe is a 19 yr old woman with a miserable life leading up to this point. She just wants to escape when one accident makes her take a left turn in her life. She doesn't trust men and if I was her I wouldn't either. Until one extremely sexy man decides he is not letting her go... wait did I mention said man is a MC president?!?!
Chase is not only the MC president but the oldest brother (to a seriously sexy family!!), he was born to protect. And when he spots a damsel in distress (who happens to be quite pretty) he can't stop himself from helping. But is this player of a man ready to help this seriously jaded girl and is he willing to give up his wild ways?!?!
🗯MY THOUGHTS...
First of all this has the workings of a 5 star book!! This book is full of sexy characters... good guys, bad guys, friends, and you meet new people throughout. I think Chase is so damn yummy and perfect! And damn if I do not love each and every one of the McKenzie brothers!! I also enjoyed how the book was told in multiple view points!! And never did it get confusing. I think my issue was with it being so very long (I think around 550-600 pages) it said too much. I think a lot could have been eliminated and still gave the same punch! And the back and forth with Chloe along I guess with immaturity sometimes got annoying. Maybe more it showed so many insecurities and I just felt like there was no growth with her.
But PLEASE give me more. I enjoyed the story so much!! I am a fan for life!!

Interesting book to say the least...
Chloe is on the run from an abusive step-father when she meets Chase. Chase only hopes to help Chloe get away from her past but in introducing her to his family it becomes something so much more. Can Chloe beat her past and win her future freedom? Can Chase figure out what he wants or let her go? Can they learn to love and trust each other in the end?
There is a lot going on in this book but it all makes sense in the end. The characters are well formed and I really enjoyed them. I love the relationships that Chloe forms with all the men that are trying to save her. I do think it odd that just about all the characters trying to save her are men. I mean Chase's sister and mother are there but everybody else is male. The plot was well written and easy to get through. There were a few issues with the flow and pace for me. I struggled with all the back and forth in Chase and Chloe's relationship.
All in all it was a good book and I would love to see more books regarding these brothers and sisters in the future. I like Simone's writing style but I always feel like I'm being left hanging at the end of her books. I do enjoy a good MC book so she will always be on my go to list for that genre.
4.5 fighting stars

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. This book is a lengthy one and has a cliffhanger ending. I was a little disappointed after reading 67 chapters and to not have an ending. This is the most angst book I read in a long time, maybe too much for me. It doesn't mean the storyline wasn't good, it was a great storyline.
I loved Chase, he had a large family 8 including himself. He is the President of his MC, which he took over from his dad. I loved how protective and strong he was. He was loyal to all his loved ones. His siblings were very entertaining to read about. They were all tall and handsome hotties with gorgeous green eyes to drive the woman crazy.
Chloe got on my nerves a little. She was strong in some ways but, she had a low self esteem from her crazy abusive Step father. Even though half of the time reading this I wanted to shake and smack the main characters, I still couldn't stop reading and loving it. I really need this series to continue, and read who steals the hearts of the rest of the siblings! Grab your copy and get the tissues ready. Also try not to throw anything . LOL, Enjoy!

This book has angst and frustration down to an art. Chase is a man who is used to getting what he wants. Chloe is used to not being able to trust and count on anyone. They have a strange attraction to each other. You would think it would be toxic if you consider them both individually, but it isn't. Instead, it works. They come together and she runs, they come together and he gets angry, they come together and she gives in...rinse and repeat...over and over and over. And, I couldn't get enough of it. This is a long book, but I can't think of anything I would want to leave out. You will be in a push and pull relationship with the two of them just like they are together. You will want to strangle both of them and have them kiss and make up at almost the same time. Those brothers, shew, they all need their own books with an addictive love like these two have. The sisters, yep, they deserve the same. I also want mom back in the picture. I liked her. I can't wait to get my hands on more, so this had better be a series!

I received an ARC an am voluntarily leaving a review.
This was an awesome book. I loved the way that Chloe got under Chase's skin so quickly and that he would do anything to try to keep her safe. Chloe did what she thought was best and admitted to a murder that Chase and his brothers did to keep them safe. She ended up being forced to going back to her mom and stepdad who were continuing to abuse her. Chase took leave from the club and had his brothers following Chloe to make sure she was safe. One night things got bad and she ended up killing her stepdad and two of the brothers rescued her before she bled to death and took her to Chase. She kept trying to run because she didn't want to love him and knew that he didn't do "relationships" so she thought he didn't love her even though everything he did was for her.
Will Chase be able to show Chloe that he does love her more than anything else and that he will not hurt her? Will Chloe finally admit that she does love him and that she is done running or will she finally run one last time and get away? What happens between Chloe and Marc?

This book was absolutely AMAZING and have never quite read a biker book as such like this.
Chloe is 19 years old and has run away from home and comes across a tall, dark and handsome man with full of tattoos. Even though this stranger is handsome, Chloe wants nothing to do with him.
Chase is 30 years old and is the President of an MC and his life is all about the club and his family. That all changes until he meets Chloe.
Chloe and Chase have an undeniable attraction that tests both of them. Chloe learns to start trusting Chase but Chase tries to avoid Chloe at all costs because of the age difference. Finally attraction wins out but comes with consequences.
What Chloe has run away from has caught up with her and now has her running scared. The one person she knows who can help her is also one person she is trying to avoid.
Chase is not going to allow Chloe to take the fall for his family but does Chloe realise he will not stop at anything until Chloe is back by his side? Will Chloe and Chase be able to tell each other how much they love each other and express how they feel?

Disclaimer: I did receive and copy of this book in return for an honest review.
Quick Fact: I've been reading Simone's work since I found it on Wattpad so I was very excited to read another one of her works.
Review: Lets jump right into it shall we? Ok, great so our two main characters are 19 and 30 bam age difference okay I'm fine with a little age gap. We have our heroine Chloe who's young and going through a shit time to be honest then we have Chase who's older got his hands in the MC life and a family that depends on him. I really wanted to love this book but I had a hard time connecting with the characters we know Chloe is young so her thoughts and the way she comes off is understandable but it was just to much back and forth and more and forth for me that it didn't work. The storyline itself isn't a problem I liked that it wasn't this big oh sexual adventure.
It's a good read don't get me wrong but this one just wants for me.

I have read many biker themed books. Yet, I have to say that I was impressed with this one. Author, Simone Elise did not make it all about the sex. She had a good storyline that could hold its on even if the story was to lack sex. Which there is sex but it is not graphic or every few pages. In fact, Chloe and Chase don't hook up until the middle of the story. Prior to that, there was a few stolen kisses.
There is an age gap between Chase and Chloe but I didn't really notice. Chase was older but due to his feelings towards Chloe, it made him some times act younger and stupider. I loved that the rest of the characters in the story did not just play second string. They helped enhance the story. I hope that there will be more books as I would like to see each of Chase's brothers get their own story and find their happy ending. This book will leave you wanting more!

I voluntarily read this ARC for an honest review. I absolutely loved reading this book. I couldn't put it down! Chloe is in an abusive relationship and trying to escape. When she wrecks her vehicle she is rescued by the hot, good looking man, Chase. With the help of his loyal family they are trying to keep her safe. When the past comes to her front door there is nowhere she can go except back home to face the consequences. Will she have enough will power to survive? Can Chase follow through and keep her safe? Will it be too much for them to get through and end up going separate ways? What a thrilling ride of angst, happiness, sorrow, love, hate and just plain anger! So many emotions in this story. Can't wait to read more!!
