Chaos MC #5

Chasing Stacy

Rate this book
River: One look at the stunning waitress carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders, and I’m a gonner. I wasn’t looking for a sweet little thing with auburn hair and more baggage than I can fit on the back of my bike, but there’s no going back now. She’s mine. I’ll prove to her I’m more than capable of handling her past and making her feel safe again.

Stacy: I can’t get him out of my head. River. He keeps coming into the diner with his kind eyes and sweet words that don’t seem to fit with the rest of his rugged outlaw biker look. It’s like he’s only this way with me. But I’m in no position to be starting anything with anybody. I just got my brother and me out of a bad situation and we’re still healing. River could break us. Or maybe, just maybe, he’ll be the one to make us feel safe again.

Author’s note: This novella may be short, but it has all the things you’ve come to expect from my books: lots of sweet, plenty of heat, and just enough drama to keep things interesting. Stacy & River have been #relationship goals for all the couples in Chaos MC. This standalone novella rewinds the clock 20 years to see how their story began (and a follow-up epilogue on the other couples)!

Not my favorite from this author. Story started out really good, loved the innocence and vulnerability of the heroine and the protectiveness of the hero. That was all swoon. Unfortunately, first love scene was ruined by the hero separating himself from the woman he supposedly wants forever by a layer of latex. Other scenes didn’t have gross condom use so not sure what the point of using one for when he claims her innocence was all about.

And the ending fell flat. It has an epilogue years out and no mention if they had any babies together in those years. Just didn’t do it for me sadly.

Hero has been celibate for 3 years. Heroine is innocent. No ow/om drama, no cheating or abuse of any kind. Condom use for their first time, not used afterwards. No babies in epilogue. This was a failed HEA for me.

We finally get to seee stacy and rivers story... i am glad because we got to see bits and pieces of them during the other MC books.. i got this book free when i signed up for cam news letter

River is already in love with Stacy when he sees her as a waitress waiting tables and protecting and watching over her younger brother Todd aka Slash (he has a book) he wants to protect her and keep her so he takes his time wooing her and her brother enjoying these tiny family moments... and finally earning his Prez spot in the chaos MC club..

But not all is sunshine and cupcakes... Todd is kidnapped by someone who wants Stacy brother Spider (he a bad guy in the series).


No ow/om drama, Drama, sexy times, slight secondary chara, Virgin gal no manwhore (did mention his last relationship which was a year ago)

Trigger warning: physical abuse, abuse survivor, child abuse, PTSD, drug abuse (some just mentioned, others were told by survivor)

I like this book compared to other books within the series. It had a complete package of creating makeshift, instant family. It's had sacrifice, care, love, with every little bit of misery to glue them all together. I was totally in love with River halfway reading the book. He was alpha not only because he's gruff and tough and protective, but also because he's warm and gooey all inside. *sigh*

"You go in and see your girl today?" Max asks.
"Oh, yeah! I almost forgot about your new girlfriend," Stone chimes in .

I grunt in response, but truthfully, I've already laid my claim on her whether she knows it or not.
Summary:
FMC and her brother have just made it into town. She has taken her brother and run because their older brother is abusive. Their parents are deceased. She is working at a diner to support them both.

The MMC is in a MC and sees her when he comes to the diner. He falls immediately. MMC realizes that he has to gain not only her trust but the trust of her younger brother as well. This is a story of a slow burn love and a MMC that will do whatever to protect the FMC and her brother.

Review:
This was a very cute and well written novella. It was well paced and kept me engaged. I found myself cheering for the MMC as he made progress with the FMC. I loved the interaction between the MMC and FMCs younger brother.

The side characters (members of the MC) made this novella extra special as well.

Chasing Stacy (Chaos MC #5) by Cameron Hart Review ♡
4✨
2🌶

I really enjoyed this book!! It is very lighthearted and a fun read. I loved how it was short but not too short and had such a good storyline. Stacy and River were so perfect for each other and I just loved them together! I love an mc romance but sometimes you just crave a story that is on the shorter side but still amazing and this was definitely that!!

They were so cute and I loved how we got a glimpse into their future together aka having a family and getting married. I also loved how he was so sweet and protective with her but such an alpha male when with others. I loved how feisty she was but also such a kind and sweet person. I also loved the chemistry they had and the sexual tension. He just fell in love with her so quickly and could not get enough of her! I loved how she grew stronger in herself and grew as a person.

Everyone go check out Cameron Hart, she is an amazing author!! I can’t wait to read the rest of this series!! This is one of the many books of hers I have read and she definitely doesn’t disappoint!

"I already can't wait to see her again tomorrow. I want her smiles,yes, but I want to know her pain, too. I'll replace her sadness with so much love."

"You good all the power here, baby. You have me wrapped around your sexy little finger. I'll do pretty much anything you ask me to."

"I would have waited forever, chased you down to the ends of the earth to make you mine, but I'm glad I didn't have to."

River and Stacy were such an amazing couple. River worked his behind off to really pull her into his loving heart.

Stacy and her little brother Todd were on the run from someone from their past. She runs to another town and becomes a waitress where she runs into the soon to be president River. Once River sees Stacy it's love at first sight. He goes above and beyond to get his girl. The past catches up though and where does that leave them? This is definitely a quick BUT extremely wonderful read. I'm so happy to have found this author.

Cameron Hart is quickly becoming my go to , when I want a quick easy read . I love reading dark & taboo in general and I’m a sucker for a series usually with emotional damaging cliffhangers. But sometimes as a reader when you’ve just come off a long series or hit one of those cliffhangers you just need to read something opposite to give yourself a break. Reset before start another series. That is what Cameron Harts books have become for me. Spicy insta love with sweet endings. A total comfort read. Chasing Stacy was right on target. Grumpy older dominant alpha male and a sweet younger FMC. Stacy is a survivor that hasn’t had it easy but she finds something safe in River. I loved that even though we now it’s a insta love with a sweet ending Cameron keeps you hooked with the journey along the way. Always check to make sure your comfortable with what your reading . You are getting spicy 🌶 . Another enjoyed read for me. Thanks Cameron 💜 Happy reading book besties 💙

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of "CHASING STACY" a great short Chaos MC ROMANCE, with intrigue, steam, innocence, vulnerability, protectiveness, drama, twists that keeps you turning the pages to the end.
Stacy was protecting herself & little brother Todd from someone from their past becomes a waitress in a different town where she meets the President River from Chaos MC he's in love immediately he go above & beyond to get her in his life.
River gets to know very closed off Stacy who had a rough past she's scarred & closed off even though he's grumpy Alpha make he's do sweet to Stacy he'll have her as his for sure & make her feel safe.
I definitely recommend to get this delightful story watch River & Stacy's journey to get their HEA, you'll love how protective she is of her brother Todd at any cost to herself a must read you don't want to miss.
EXCELLENT SHORT SWEET MC ROMANCE I LOVE IT 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤

For such a short novella this had a lot of storyline to it. Stacy starts working at a diner and River comes in to eat with his other MC Buddies. Instantly he’s attracted to her and when he sees a little boy with her, he has to know everything there it to know about them. So the story is River getting to know the very closed off/scarred Stacy. The shit that Stacy and the little boy went through makes me so sad. River is seriously an Angel of a man. I’m going to look more into others in this series. I might have already read some now that I think about it.

River was so sweet and swoon worthy, I really loved how protective and loyal he was over stacy and her baby brother Todd, it was heartwarming but what the heck was the point of the condom scene when he takes her virginity if they never use one again. I loved the book up until the epilogue 20 years out like what 💔 when and how did they get married, did they have any babies, what was their life like together?! The epilogue ruined the book for me which hurts because I really like it. The author definitely did themselves a disservice with it.

Stacy is 18 years old and is a waitress she will protect her brother At an cost. River is part of the MC club and all he does is relationships, he is not looking for a one night stand. River slowly becomes a party of Stacy life and before you realize it he has stack and her brother devoted to him. This was a cute love story, but it was also about a sister who would protect her brother at all cost.

WOW! I absolutely loved this book. I could not put this down. I had no idea this was part of a series and can not wait to read the rest of the story. This storyline had me captivated and I could not wait to read more. I loved the brother/sister on the run and the great protector vibe this gave. This story was so heartfelt. The characters all connected beautifully and developed throughout the story that I can not wait to read about them again in the series. Highly recommend this series.

MC romance.
Stacy is a young girl who just took a job as a waitress to take care of her brother. However, it wasn't in her plans to fall hard for one of her biker customers.
River is a member of MC and as he's about to run for the new Prez, he meets the beautiful waitress. While he tries to win her over and she rejects him, he quickly realizes she's running away from something.
Will River protect Stacy even if it means he's the Prez...

For me this was the best book in this series. River just melted my heart in this one. He saw Stacy and then pursued her from the get go. She didn't make it easy on him but once he caught her he wasn't ever letting her go.
The only disappointing thing for me was that they didn't have any children of their own. Did they not want them or just weren't able to?

Sweet insta-love story! River & Stacy connect right away. River is all in & determined to show Stacy, & her brother, that their days of being scared are over! Stacy's a bit reluctant, but with help from a very enthusiastic little brother, she finds the strength to trust River.

Then the spice kicks up & they quite enjoyed themselves! 😉

River & Stacy

This was a great story! I would call it MC lite. Short and sweet with an amazingly sweet tough guy biker. As sweet and innocent as Stacy is, she has an inner strength and so much bravery. Love them together!

Ahhh just what I needed! A wonderful OTT, instalove novella, with a little bit of action, a growly alpha, sweet romance and scorching steam! And finally an MC book without the dreaded OW drama and club bunnies. Wonderfully drama free. Quick read, utterly delicious! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

River knew he wanted to take care of Stacy and protect her from the first time he saw her. I like this instalove story for the gentle, caring, protective MMC and the strong, courageous FMC. The story is short, sweet, with a generous dash of spice.

River and Stacy. She’s grabbed her young brother and escaped to a small town, working in a food joint and doing what she can to survive. In walks River and he knows she is his ‘one and only’. Romance, heat, some minor drama and lots of passion with a great HEA
