Desperate to hang on to the new relationship, Martin attempts to change wild and crazy Chase into someone more responsible. Will he be able to give Chase the space he needs, and somehow strike a balance?

After being in Seattle for three months Martin Benson decides it’s time to do some sightseeing, after all his mom has been asking about all the things and places he’s seen – so he might as well make an effort.
Stopping at the one place that makes him uncomfortable - the Space Needle, he meets, heavily tattooed Charlie Reed. Charlie immediately offers to show Martin a side of Seattle that he’s never seen before.
They say opposite attract and the attraction between Charlie and Martin leads them to one unforgettable weekend. Not wanting it to end Martin sets out on a path that may have him losing more than he ever had the chance to know.
SEATTLE: GIVING CHASE is a sweet read of men just wanting to be with that special someone, however the way they go about it is gives them both something to think about, as sometime the things you think you want is not necessary the thing that is best for the other person.
If you’re looking for a quick read, fast pace and to the point – this would be it. Ms. Hill style is quite clear in this one.

3 ½ stars. SHORT STORY about two gay men, different but attracted to each other. A lot of hot n’ heavy sex.
STORY BRIEF:
Marty recently moved to Seattle, is a college graduate and has a nice computer job in the suburbs. He hasn’t made any local friends yet. Chase works in a gift shop selling tee shirts. Chase has eleven tattoos and some piercings. Marty meets Chase when he buys something in the gift shop. They are immediately attracted to each other. Chase invites Marty to go to a club to hear some grunge music. Marty says he’ll meet Chase there. After a few hours together they each don’t know if the other is gay. Finally it’s revealed, and they excitedly begin a lusty sexual relationship (including rear door activity).
REVIEWER’S OPINION:
Slightly above average. I enjoyed it. There’s a good plot. It’s not a run-of-the-mill copy. They each have some issues. There is a happy ending.

This story has definitely wrong title, Marty is actually the one who is chasing after Chase. And this love story is kind of one sided, too and weird. The problems, which are part of this plotted net, are definitely to huge and heavy for only 46 pages. And ending is to abrupt and again one sided. As a reader I can't accept Chase actions toward Marty.

This is a re-read for me. I remembered reading this at the beginning of the year and liked it and all it stood for. Five stars cus I am a sucker for sob stories and "I'm sorry I was wrong I am willing to do better by you" sap.

1.5 stars. Meh short m/m romance about a programmer who meets a gift store clerk and is instantly smitten. The whole thing felt forced and unrealistic.

Eh. Not even close to being impressive but entertaining enough. Irritating as hell characters, but decent passable sex scenes. It was one step away from lame, so it was... Okay.
