A biker. A gorgeous, sexy, charming biker. In other words, the kind of guy I swore I wouldn’t even glance at again a long time ago. No, scratch that. Ben is worse than the kind of guy I swore I wouldn’t even glance at again.
He’s everything I don’t want to want. A carefree bad boy with an irritating grin, who thinks he has me all figured out. And… he’s right.
Damn sexy biker.
There’s only one possible explanation for fate to have put him in my path. I’m cursed. I must have been an awful person in a past life, and Ben has been sent to make me pay for my sins. The worst part? I’m too weak to resist him for long. The only thing that keeps me from completely falling in love with the guy is the several thousands of miles that separate us.
But that was before his enemies try to get to me.
Now, all I want is to go to him, and let him hold me. That’s when I realize that I’ve already fallen in love with him.

This is the third book in this awesome series, and is Ban and Colleen’s turn. This story continues straight on from when #2 ended. Cocky Ben has certainly met his match in Colleen, as she makes him work for it. This is a well written flawless story which is humorous, steamy, and with drama and twists, which all had me totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner. I cannot wait to read more from this gifted author, whose work I highly recommend.
Ben caught my attention in Nate and Jayce's story. He is definitely the joker of the club as his funny personality had me laughing.
Colleen is Cam's best friend. She was introduced in Cam and Nate's story and also is talked about in Jayce and Alex’s story. She knows Ben's type and has no interest in going down that road but his bad boy attitude and fun personality got under her skin and she couldn’t resist. Their only problem...... They are many states away from each other. Can weekend and holiday visits keep these two together?

Klappentext: (aus Amazon übernommen)
BEN
Ich wollte einen Vorgeschmack auf diese Lippen haben, sobald sie das erste Mal etwas Freches zu mir sagten. Sexy wie die Hölle. Und diesen Geschmack konnte ich bald darauf kosten. Ich habe es nun mal drauf - außer wenn es darum geht, Colleen ganz zu erobern. Ich stoße hier auf eine verdammte Wand. Sturköpfiges Mädchen.
Ich habe ihr Zeit gegeben und geduldig darauf gewartet, dass sie ihre Zurückhaltung über Bord wirft und ihre Gefühle zulässt. Aber als die Feinde der Chaos Chasers ihren Blick auf Colleen richten und ich sie fast verliere, habe ich das Warten satt.
Sie gehört mir. Es ist an der Zeit, dass sie ihre Augen öffnet und es akzeptiert.
COLLEEN
Ein Biker. Ein wunderschöner, sexy, charmanter Biker. Mit anderen Worten, genau der Typ Mann, dem ich vor langer Zeit abgeschworen habe. Er verkörpert alles, was ich auf keinen Fall will. Ein sorgloser Bad Boy mit einem irritierenden Grinsen, der denkt, dass er mich komplett durchschaut hat. Und … er hat recht.
Verdammter sexy Biker.
Das Schlimmste? Ich bin zu schwach, um ihm lange zu widerstehen. Das Einzige, was mich davon abhält, mich komplett in den Typen zu verlieben, sind die vielen Kilometer, die uns trennen. Aber das war, bevor seine Feinde versuchten, an mich heranzukommen. Jetzt will ich nur noch zu Ben, damit er mich beschützend in seinen Armen hält. In diesem Moment wird mir klar, dass ich mich längst in ihn verliebt habe.
Verdammter charmanter Biker.

!!!! Achtung !!! Könnte Spoiler erhalten!!!
Mir hat „The Chaos Chasers MC Teil 3: Ben“ von C. M. Marin richtig gut gefallen. Mein Gott, bei den Begegnungen zwischen Colleen und Ben, da flogen teilweise echt die Funken und die Fetzen :D Auf der einen Seite war es total Lustig zu lesen und auf der anderen Seite war es richtig spannend zwischen den Beiden. Ich persönlich mochte die wortreichen Dialoge sehr gerne. Ben und Colleen waren für mich zwei sehr starke Charaktere, die aber sehr authentisch und sympathisch rüber kamen. Spannungsgeladenen war das Buch auf jeden Fall. Ich konnte es fast kaum aus der Hand legen.. Ich persönlich mag ja Biker Geschichten bei denen es auch mal härter zu geht.. Mir persönlich hat auch der Schreibstil der Autorin recht gut gefallen. Er war locker und leicht geschrieben, der Lesefluss war auf jeden Fall gegeben, denn es waren keine komplizierten Sätze vorhanden. Es waren für mich auch alles Emotionen dabei, von Liebe über Drama, Spannung bis hin zur Leidenschaft war es echt passend. Es ist zwar der dritte Teil der Reihe, aber man kann die Bücher wunderbar unabhängig von einander lesen. Ich hatte richtig viel Spaß mit Ben und Colleen. Deswegen bekommt „The Chaos Chasers MC Teil 3: Ben“ von mir auch verdiente 5 Sterne und eine klare Leseempfehlung.
Fazit:
Toller Bikerroman mit zwei starken Charakteren, einer düsteren Spannung und ganz viel Lesespaß. Klare Empfehlung.
Vielen Dank an Plaisir D´Amour und NetGalley für dieses Exemplar es hat meine Meinung nicht beeinflusst.
Das Cover ist echt heiß und es fügt sich sehr gut in die Reihe ein.
Mein Fazit: Der Schreibstil ist sehr gut und die Geschichte lässt sich leicht und flüssig lesen. Sie wird abwechselnd aus der Sicht von Ben und Colleen erzählt - was ich persönlich sehr liebe, weil man die Protas dadurch viel besser kennen und verstehen lernt. Und ich muss sagen, ich bin von Ben wirklich sehr überrascht worden. Ich hätte nie gedacht, das hinter ihm soviel steht. Und seine Oma ist eine Wucht. Mit Colleen hat es zu Beginn etwas gedauert, aber mit der Zeit habe ich sie auch sehr lieb gewonnen. Ich konnte ihre bedenken verstehen, aber zum Glück hat sie schneller der Liebe eine Chance gegeben. Und auch die anderen Nebencharaktere sind wieder sehr gut in die Geschichte mit eingebunden worden. Ich bin echt froh, dass CJ endlich seine Strafe bekommen hat. Und jetzt freue ich mich schon auf den nächsten Teil - In welche Schwierigkeiten wohl Liam geraten wird.
Zur Geschichte: Colleen lebt in New York und sie ist in einem Job gefangen der sie seit 2 Jahren nicht weiter bringt. Ihr einziger Lichtblick sind ihre Besuche bei ihrer Freundin Cam. Und da wäre auch noch Ben - welchen sie nicht ausstehen kann. Seine Art bringt sie auf die Palme. Und genau das ist es was Ben immer wieder anstachelt sie zu reizen. Doch genau darin liegt auch das Vergnügen. Sie sind wie Feuer und Wasser. Doch sie brauchen sie auch. Und endlich geben sie ihren Gefühlen nach und erleben eine großartige Zeit. Immerhin geht das jetzt schon seit fast 1 Jahr so. Und weil Ben Colleen jetzt schon etwas besser kennt und sie ja Geburtstag hat - schenkt er ihr ein Kätzchen welches sie sich schon immer gewünscht hat - damit sie nicht so einsam in New York ist. Doch als sie eines Abends von der Arbeit kommt - wird sie nicht begrüßt wie immer. Das macht sie etwas stutzig, aber sie schiebt es auf die Bauarbeiten ihrer Nachbarn. Doch als sie später ins Wohnzimmer geht wird sie von CJ bedroht - doch sie kann ihm zum Glück entkommen und flieht zu Cam und Ben nach Hause....... Doch wieso will CJ unbedingt Colleen? Wenn ihr das wissen wollt - holt Euch die Geschichte.
This is the third book of The Chaos Chasers and according to the end of the book there will be more. I'm looking forward to reading about more of the members of the club. I can see this series going far. If I understand correctly this is a fairly new author and she is one to look out for if you enjoy MC romance books. This is Ben and Colleen's book. If you have read the earlier books then you know she is the best friend of Camryn, Nate's ol' lady. Colleen lives in NY and works for a publishing company. She hates her job and she is so lonely that she visits with Camryn on a regular basis. The moment she meets Ben she hates him because he reminds her of all her other ex boyfriend's. Good looking, cocky and full of himself. Ben falls for Colleen the moment he meets her. He knows she is attracted to him but he doesn't want to involve her in the trouble with the other MC. Since she lives so far away but visits they start a friend's with benefits but keeps it quiet. Why not? She is safe in NY. Nobody is going to go from Texas to NY just to get to a club member. Spiders have stepped up going after club members and their ol' ladies and since she isn't an ol'lady she should be safe. Spiders don't seem to be trying to kill the women so what do they want with them and who are all these other people showing up in town lately?
Woah! It’s the funny guys you need to keep your eyes on.
Ben is the jokester of the MC. He is always hungry and has a devastating smile that gets the ladies feeding him 24/7. His use of the word “love” with any woman with a beating heart gets him in trouble with his brothers when he flirts with their old ladies. He loves every moment though.
Colleen is best friends with Camryn so she has been around from the first book. Ben told her from the first moment he met her he was in love. She didn’t fall for it though and gave him hell which only made him fall deeper. We had no idea until this book how much they had both fallen.
When the MC’s danger now falls at Colleen’s doorstep and there is literally nothing they can do to help but listen to the phone call we learn how dangerous Ben can really be. He literally goes rouge thinking his women has been lost to him and goes on a suicide mission to make his enemies pay.
Luckily she survived and is the only person who can bring him back from the dark side. Even though she is ok for now, it doesn’t mean the danger is done. Sometimes when you are focused solely on one enemy you miss the others.
It is seriously kicking up in the danger department as this series progresses and I can’t imagine what is next to come.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I Was anxiously awaiting this book after Jayce and Alex’s book And it was totally worth the wait. I loved Ben and Colleen’s story. It picks up right where the last book left off with all the drama with the Spiders. I love how the author told the story starting with present day and then with going back into the past so we see how their relationship unfolds.
Colleen was a strong female lead And she needed to be to put up with Ben’s personality and cockiness. He had me laughing out loud multiple times throughout this book. I loved how loyal and true he was to Colleen. He wasn’t the womanizing, man whore you expected him to be. This storyline has tons of drama, ups and down and is extremely steamy!! I read it cover to cover!!
I love all these characters and MC. I cannot wait for Liam’s Book.
Third one in this series and I have to say probably the best one yet. I absolutely love Ben and Colleen. These two are freaking perfect for each other and really don't even realize it. But I love how their relationship starts. How it is long distance through basic text messages and phone calls and small visits. Then something happens to make them realize what is right in front of them. I love Colleen. She is so strong through everything. She is quite the fighter even when she doesn't have to be. This was very well written with two characters who have amazing chemistry. I love this series and cant wait for more.
Colleen doesn’t like pretty boys or cocky boys or... well any part of Ben. But that doesn’t stop her from jumping his bones every time they are alone. Bet is well aware that Colleen doesn’t think he is serious about her - but he hopes he has time to convince her of his feelings before it is too late.
Enemies to lovers is a trope that I sometimes struggle with - but this was sort of enemies to lovers but more it was Colleen’s baggage that made her dislike Ben. Not active animosity on both sides.
They both confront her baggage and together as a couple and move forward. It is fun to watch and there is no end to action in this story!
I was waiting to see how Ben would fall and Colleen is perfect for him. She keeps him at arms length even tho she wants to dive into his hotness. Convinced He's just like all her previous bad mistakes she tells him it's just sex. The club action continues and Colleen has to trust her judgement and trust Ben with her heart. Some other surprises along the way in this one and lots of humour- wouldn't be Ben's story without it. The only thing that irks me is the women in this series are all strong yet seen to doubt their capabilities. That said enjoyed it so far .
This is the third book in the series and they Get better every time. This story is about Colleen and Ben, their relationship was a secret first of all because of her insecurities but something happens to Colleen and Ben then makes its official and that she is his. The rivalry between the spiders and the chasers comes to head and Colleen is in the middle of it but it's all good in the end. This was a really enjoyable read and cannot wait to read more. I voluntarily read and reviewed a advanced copy arc.
Ben by far has been my favorite character throughout the entire series so far so finally being able to read his story was a bonus. I just love his charm, it oozes in every book but a book where he is the focus, panty melting let me tell you. I also love the fact that he was smitten with Colleen because she is just so stubborn. Really makes Ben work for it and puts him in his place when needed. So far, the entire series has been devilishly delicious and I can’t wait for Liam
I absolutely loved this book. The storyline was exciting, captivating and really entertaining. The story drew me in from start to finish and moved at a good pace. I loved Ben and Colleen. They were adorable together and had such great chemistry. There were a lot of funny moments, but also a lot of emotional moments as well. This is the third book in this series, and although I personally think that reading the books from the start which gives you a better insight into the characters on a more personal basis, it can be read as a standalone.
I wasn’t sure how much I’d like this book because Ben just seemed wayyyy to flirty to be taken seriously in a relationship. Boy was I wrong, this book was great. The relationship, back and forth, and conversations between Ben and Colleen were great and hilarious. I enjoyed them greatly as a couple, even more than just the steam factor. You could tell they worked perfectly together. Ben was hilariously ridiculous over things like playing bridge and his hair. Interwoven with this fun and blossoming relationship is plenty of action and side characters that just made you want to read more.
Another good story in this series!! Playboy Ben and spunky Colleen finally are getting together. Talk about explosive chemistry!! Author gives some of the honest foreplay with words, these two in previous books had them sword word fighting. Ben does everything he can to get Colleen to give him angry glares to putting him in her place. So many sexy scenes, along with sitting on the edge of your seat scenarios. Overall good story. Happy Reading!!!
Ben is the Casanova, joker of the MC but when one woman gives him the thrill of the chase hes willing to do what ever he can to have her. Collen is Cams best friend, she knows bad boys and Ben screams of one a mile off, but will the miles of distance between them be enough to save her heart or will Ben be the one to come to her aid. well written great addition to the series, steamy, engaging, action and more.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Colleen has been burned by her ex. Plus her mom is on her seventh marriage. But she is really good friends with Camryn. If that means visiting Can at the MC, she will tolerate the club. There she meets Ben who reminds her of her ex, but hormones win out. Can she and Ben be something more?
Geez it took them long enough to kill C. J. He was more than a thorn in their sides. I know Colleen fought the love she had for Ben, even when he proved time and time again he was nothing like her ex. I knew little miss Chloe was going to get in trouble. I'm glad Colleen got to her before C. J. Could take her.
Thoroughly enjoyed this series. A little gritty, but full of HEA and family. Definitely recommend starting with Nates book first. Loved Ben all through the series, he is funny, lovable and sweet but still an Alpha. Colleen was perfect for him. Glad her mum got a happy ever after too.
Ben & Colleen story was full of surprises, twist and turns. It had action, drama, love, family & loyalty. At times I was ready to kick Colleen, as she was acting immature & judgemental, but getting to know her changed my view. Ben made me laugh & cry, I had really been looking forward to reading his book and was not disappointed.
Can't believe there are 2 more books to go. So much happened in this book I'm feeling dizzy. But! Lucky me there Are 2 more. This book was Ben and Colleen 's story, among loads of others of course and! Was absolutely brilliant again. Liam is next Sue P
I loved this book. I loved Nate and Jayce, but Ben, he was my favorite. The relationship felt real. The feeling felt real. And I enjoyed their back and forward. The drama, the funny sarcastic comments. So far, it's my favorite of the series. Can't wait to read Liam.
Der Teil hat mir viel besser gefallen als der Band davor. Es ist der dritte Band der Reihe. Colleen und Ben hat man in den vorherigen Bänden schon etwas kennengelernt und ich bin froh das ich Colleen und bin jetzt noch näher kennenlernen durfte. Colleen ist von Anfang an eine toughe und nicht auf dem Mund gefallene Person. Und Ben welcher trotz Motorrad Club sich jeden Sonntag bei seiner Oma einfindet. Die beiden sind auf jeden Fall zusammen gewachsen und haben zusammen, aber auch einzelne eine tolle Entwicklung hingelegt. Die Geschichte war heiß und spannungsgeladen. Sie hatte einen guten Spannungsbogen und auch das Finale war super beschrieben. Sie hatte einen viel besseren Plot als im Teil davor. Der Schreistil war gut, man konnte flüssig lesen und sich gut in die Geschichte reinfinden. Das Cover passt zur Geschichte, aber trotzdem nicht so meins. Eine klare Leseempfehlung.
Follow the many suspenseful moments of this MC club in the 3rd book of this series. It can be read on its own but is best with the series. Ben must struggle to convince Colleen to be more than just a sex buddy while trying to keep her safe.
this book was really good! i just had a hard time with it. he is a biker and she knows he off limits. she cant seem to stay away from no mater how hard she tries. her past comes back and now she is in real danger. you have to read to find out what happens.
So good! Think Ben and Colleen’s story is my favourite so far in this series. Love these characters. Ben is so funny, but Colleen gives him a real run for his money. Add in lots of action and suspense, this book was a real page turner.
3,5*, I was really excited to read Ben's book. But I expected more from the fun Guy... Don't get me wrong, he was sweet like Nate and Jayce too, but he didn't do his "title" justice. I think the books are a little to drawn out, it gets boring at times...
Safe, this is enemy to lover story. I could have done without the first 20% of the story. Too much bantering and insults for me. The rest was a pretty good story. I read the forth book first, sometimes I am weird like that, and I liked this one more.
OMG, this book did not disappoint. The storyline was just perfect. It just melded into the first 2 books. I really highly recommend this series. Well, I am on to Book 4.
