It took me half the book to realize this was a book set in Africa. That’s not bad. I just wasn’t ready for it. Maybe that was why there was such a strong emphasis on Zeke’s fair-skinned appearance and being beautiful. That description was a big part of the book, and as an American, I didn’t understand why until I understood the setting.

I was surprised that as erotic as it was, there wasn’t a lot of sex between the main characters. The story was good overall though. I was surprised at the graphic nature of Zeke’s childhood trauma and its description in the book.

Chasing Rose by Nomi Cane was a flirty and emotionally intense read. The banter between Rose and Zeke was so fun! I found that Zeke's background made for a more unique Hero that you couldn't help but want to join the Zeke's Women Association to help lift him up. I loved Rose's family and how once they learned about her Ex wanted to extract revenge. I appreciated the body positivity that Zeke helped Rose find.

Intriguing Premise

I liked this book! It had a hero with a different past to overcome. The hero was absolutely lovely and knew what he wanted and went for it! Good story!
