Bravo Team Leader, Erik “Falcon” Lamont, takes his job with W.J. very seriously. With a giant chip on his shoulder, no one stands a chance of getting close. No one except the woman who is hurricane Trista that is. He will do anything to avoid her. So when Trista suddenly disappears with knowledge about their latest assignment, he is forced to chase her down. His friends call him Falcon. Relentless in stalking his prey. Nothing will stop Falcon from finding Trista.
Trista St. Clair never backs down from a challenge and Falcon might be her biggest one yet. When one simple picture turns Trista’s life upside down. She will stop at nothing to discover the truth that changed her life. Even if it means further angering the one man she can’t stop thinking about. Trista will learn to expect the unexpected.
When sparks fly, can they put their differences aside and finally put the end to King’s operation once and for all?
Chasing Trista is the second book in the Bravo Team series. While Falcon and Trista’s love story is only represented in this book, a subplot continues from previous books and should be read in order.
Elizabella Baker has always dreamed of being a writer. As an avid book lover who has read thousands of books, she finally decided to pursue that dream and become a published author. She published her first book in January 2021.
Elizabella is a mother of two and a fan of all things romantic. She enjoys spending time with her family and making as many memories as she can.
Trista and the Viking have quite a bit to work through here. He can’t stand her, or so she thinks, and she definitely aggravates him like no other. Having to chase her to Seattle only further solidifies Falcon’s “she’s a pain” view of her. But then some truths come out. And attraction decides that now is the time to break free. And Falcon suddenly wants nothing more than to make Trista his. Forever. They just have to untangle the web of lies and get to the bottom of the danger first.
Trista is absolutely no one to mess with. She’s strong, stubborn, reasonable when called for some logic and compromise, and worried that Falcon won’t want her around for long. But for a guy who’s strong and silent much of the time, Falcon is an excellent communicator…both in and out of the bedroom. So he and Trista hit that sweet spot in a relationship that values communication far quicker than I’d dared to hope for! Of course, Trista also deliberately puts herself in danger for the greater good, but all works out. And I really like how it works out. Because we aren’t dragging this mystery out. Oh, no. We already have a whole new danger on the horizon, and an Apollo ready to fall next! And I, for one, am 100% here for a new danger and couple to find their happiness together.
The past brings itself into the present to reveal the "King & Queen"
The drama, suspense, twists and turns continue in the second book of the Bravo Team series. Trista a supermodel and more accurate discription founder of Second Chances, a organization she started to help women get back on their feet that where sex trafficked. She started the organization in memory of her childhood friend Nicole Hastings who disappeared their senior year of high school and was suspected of being sex trafficed. But could Trista's second chances orginzation all be built in a lie? Erik "Falcon" Lamont, leader of the Bravo team, looks at Trista as a prima donna super model, who he calls princess because he only sees her life as just some party girl model that is into herself, clothing, partying and has no clue what life is all about. They go toe to toe constantly but maybe all isn't as he sees it. She definitely affects him in ways that could be more than just getting under her skin. When she dissapers for a few days after finding out that "King" the sex trafficking leader they have been hunting down for years is actually a foster kid Carlson, that spent a year in her best friend Nicole's home untill he aged out of the system, and ine short year later she dissapeared. Tristaknows this just can't all be a coincidence. She also has a feeling the message that Ember came home with about his "Queen" could possibly be about her friend Nicole. Could it be that she left of her own free will to help this evil man run a sex trafficking ring, and not really have been sex traffic herself? When Falcon goes after her to Seattle, to keep her from getting in the middle of things, he feels she has no business being involved in, he may learn more about Trista than he ever could have imagined. Will these two sworn enemies, go toe to toe or will finally all their true feelings come to a head? Can they both drop their preconceived notions of eachother to figure out everything they thought they knew, to really find out the truth? Will these enemies turn into lovers or will they kill one another working together? You will just have to read this incredible second book in the series to have all these questions and more answered. It is a book filled with some incredible, mind blowing sex, twists, turns and so many things comming to light that finally all make sense. Don't miss this second book in the bravo series, that I was unable to put down till the very end, and still need more, unfortunately I have to wait till the next book for more of the Bravo teams story, but you absolutely don't want to skip Trista and Erik's story and the unveiling of "King & Queen".
4.5 stars The series features a dedicated group of alpha men who work for a protection security team. Their mission is to protect those in need and eliminate those who pose a threat. Each member is described as sexy, with a soft side that emerges when they meet the one woman who could change their womanizing ways. I'm completely hooked on this series and the characters with their banter and sarcasm. The mix of action, danger, fun, and laughter has me fully engaged. I've discovered a new author whose books I can't wait to read more of.
Bravo Team book 2 is pretty amazing. Seeing Hurricane Trista sweeping away everything and everyone including Falcon is so good. Wes, Westley still has that beautiful smile of him. Ash and Ember are the best friends a girl can have. Erik is really the perfect match to Trista. They have this strong connection since day one that keep growing until they can’t be separated anymore. They finally act on their feelings and wants and the fire is amazing. I love all the suspense and twist in this series. Falling in love with this book is easy, she always makes me fall for all her heroes and heroines. Can’t wait for Apollo’s book.
If I was reading a physical copy of this book, I can tell you my hands would be on fire. Chasing Trista is one hot and sexy enemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine, protector romance that will have your panties melting right off you. Ms. Baker teases us with Trista and Falcon, Erik/Viking, in Protecting Ember and their hate-to-love relationship. Their story is one that will have you going from not liking Falcon at the beginning and the more you read the more you want Falcon chasing you, right into your bed. He is definitely one man that can invade your dreams and make you never want to wake up.
Trista is a supermodel that owns Second Chances, a halfway house for victims of human trafficking. She is a kicka$$ person and tells it like it is. She does what she wants and nobody better get in her way. In the last book, we saw that Trista had a very distinct reaction to the picture of King, the man that Falcon's team has been hunting for years. He is the man who they believe runs the human trafficking ring. She runs off to Seattle which infuriates Falcon and he runs after her. Is it just because he is told to find her or it is his job or is it because she gets under his skin, in more ways than one. He thinks that she a bubblehead and should stay out of Bravo Team's way and keep her mouth shut. It seems that Trista knows exactly how to set Falcon off and it is the one thing that she loves doing. Little do they both know that they secretly have the hots for one another. Well, when Falcon finds Trista is when things start to heat up. Falcon is determined to keep away from Trista but that last a whole few minutes. The hate-to-love chemistry they have is off the charts. I don't F&@! models" is what Falcon tells Trista but in the same conversation he says "I'd have you screaming my name, but let's see what else that mouth of your is good for." Talk about showing your dominance and boy did Trista get weak in the knees. Working together is exactly what they both needed and yes they got some answers but also it wouldn't be a Ms. Baker book without danger rearing its ugly head and that is where we see Falcon actually lose it.
Bravo Team is going to be one series that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat and your heart skipping a few beats if the rest of the books are anything like Chasing Trista. I highly recommend picking up Chasing Trista but before you read it, you need to read Protecting Ember as this series is highly interconnected. Cannot wait for Apollo and Jewel's story which is next.
“Chasing Trista”: BRAVO Tram Series (Book 2) by Elizabella Baker
“Tick Tock! Tick Tock!” It was just a matter of time before the pages exploded with the HOTNESS between these two characters! In “Protecting Ember” we are introduced to two strong willed and stubborn characters. Author Elizabella Baker teased us profusely with the major slow burn between “Falcon” and Trista. Now the time has come to see what these two are made of.
Erik “Falcon” Lamont, is the leader of the BRAVO Team. He’s grumpy, moody, a man with very little to say and very protective of the ones he cares about. He also has no time and patience for Trista (or so he says). According to Falcon she is “just a supermodel with a pretty face.” Little does he know, there is SO MUCH MORE to that beautiful face! Trista St Clair is a smart and headstrong. A woman with a heart of gold and a brain to match. She is the founder of an organization called “Second Chances” that aid women who have been sex trafficked get back on their feet.
Upon seeing a picture of a familiar face, Trista is convinced she knows who is behind the Sex Trafficking Ring. Taking it upon herself to conduct her own investigation, she heads to Seattle for answers. Of course, Falcon is not happy about her interface and takes off after her claiming it’s for her own “safety.” But really .. is it because of her meddling or is he worried the beauty will find trouble?! Once he finds her, she is not happy, but, you can feel the sizzle coming of the pages and you can feel the battle of feelings between these two. At one point, he says, “I don’t F@&€ models!” Yet, in another breath he tells her, “I didn’t say I planned to F@%# you. I plan to f#%^ing eat you!” Holy hotness! Make up your mind handsome!
Once these two give in to the inevitable they are incredible together. He’s protective, but supportive. He’s fierce, but loving. He gives her space to investigate, but has her back. They are at one another’s throats, but so hot together! “I came after you because, no matter what, I will always chase you. To the end of the earth, if need be." Hot damn indeed!
Elizabella Baker writes another fantabulous story to add to the BRAVO Team Series. I’m so looking forward to book 3!
Chasing Trista by Elizabella Baker is the 2nd book in the bravo team series. I suggest reading the first book Protecting Ember to better understand what’s happening in the story. Chasing Trista is Falcon and Tristas story, these two put me through an emotional rollercoaster. I have never gone from being so frustrated with two characters to absolutely loving them so fast in a book before. Though Falcon and Tristas personalities could make me beyond frustrated they also fit so perfectly together. I do love me a grumpy alpha male with a secret heart of gold though, and Falcon fit that perfectly. There were a few parts in this book that had me swooning hard. Im not ashamed to admit that one part in particular had me shedding some happy tears. I really enjoyed the book from start to finish. By the end of the book I was completely in love with both Falcon and Trista. I love the relationships with all the side characters from previous stories to, seeing how they all interact brought more than one smile to my face. If you are looking for a grumpy alpha male, with some action and a lot of spice I would definitely give this one a read.
Poor Trista was put through the ringer in this book. You get to know Trista throughout the Charlie Team and Bravo Team Books and I just love her bold confidence and humble attitude. It is a hard combination to have and Trista has it in spades. Then you have Falcon, or Eric. Quiet and stoic and stubborn Falcon who judges Trista at face value and realizes that he was all wrong. He realizes he is being a toxic a$$ but not before all the sexual tension bursts between the two of them and holy moly is it EARLY in the book, and it is HOT!
This particular plot line has been building for a long time. And this book resolves all of that build up in such an expected, yet unexpected way. All of the hard shit Elizabella put her characters through in the last 4 or 6 books have made the end worth it.
Recommend this book to all military romance readers and one bed, forced proximity.
This is book two of the Bravo Team Series. In this book we get to finally see Trista and Falcon interact!! They are hot!! I mean HOT! Talk about a perfect couple!
Trista is a gorgeous woman who also happens to be a model. She is not defined by her beauty because she’s also very smart and a wonderful person. Most people see her beauty and think she is pretentious or snobby but she is a lovely caring person who fights for those that can’t fight for themselves.
Falcon is a man of few words that will fight for what he believes in. He is a hunk of man that will never be with a woman who is a model. He wants someone who is strong and who cares for others not just an expensive bag. He thinks that Trista is shallow but he soon finds out that he has miss judged her from day one.
Oh this book is hot and steamy but it is also a great story with amazing characters!
This was such a great book by Elizabella Baker. I loved Trista and Falcon and the intensity in their relationship which was very explosive especially given that Trista is a very strong, independent woman and Falcon is very bit an over protective alpha male and his instincts to protect Trista go into overdrive. The drama and the twists and turns make this a book that you won’t want to miss. Steamy, passionate and a great story line only add to the appeal. Very addictive and it had me on the edge of my seat with every word I read. Highly recommend this series and cannot wait to see what Ms Baker has in store for us next
I received an arc copy from the author and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
🌷This is perhaps my most anticipated Elizabella Baker book after "Westley". I mean Book 1 Charlie Team… I was hooked on WJ's guys, Ash, Wes's smile and Elizabella's way of building intrigue from the very first sentence. I have learnt over time… coffee, tissues, snack, make sure the world around you is under control before opening the book because the only world you will be aware of is the one you are drawn into until the very last page!
🌷 Trista and Falcon… or Beware of Hurricane Trista and Grumpy Falcon 🤣😂... what can I say… everyone including me had a bet on how long it would take before they got together or someone died. The sparks fly when they are in the same room… I so wondered how that would go when they finally decided to care for each other. OMGosh! 💕🔥So the toss up for the favourite quote goes to:
"I will always chase you!" or "Glad to see you're still in one piece. The both of you, actually."
🌷Watch out and get ready to call the fire brigade. 🔥 Lol
🌷Oh my… just when you think everything is under control… beware the twist and hold on for the ride! HEA guaranteed but Sheesh! My heart was pounding… sitting while I held onto the side of my seat!
🌷This is a great book by itself but it is so much better if you are acquainted with the other guys on the teams, and their significant others.
This two characters had done nothing but clashed every time there were in the same room!!
I have been waiting for Falcon and Trista’s story since …… forever 🤣 ok, maybe not that long but since they first met and clashed!!! In book time that’s like forever ago, right?
”That better be your only reaction to his smile”
And my suspicions were correct, well about Queen, which reminds me…… Wes needs to spills the tea!! Falcon might be ok with his answer but I kind of need the details!!! 🤣🫣
And that ending?!!! True be told, I had not make the connection until now!!!😲
Can we say attitude? Trista and Falcon both have it big time. So when the two are together it’s like a kapow! Most of it has to do with misconceptions, but these two are perfect for one another. Everyone can see it and feel the tension between them. I am loving the Bravo Team series and can’t wait for another team member to fall. Elizabella does an amazing job writing about the couple involved, while also bringing in all the others from past books too. I love that! another great book that you don’t want to miss.
This is the second book in the Bravo team series and having had tantalising peeks into the relationship between Trista and Falcon, I was intrigued to find out how their relationship developed. This book certainly did not disappoint! Each book I read by this author gets better and better. Elizabella Baker really manages to develop the characters so they are likeable and believable. The story plot is exciting and well crafted and kept me turning the pages until I finished the book. I recommend this book highly and eagerly await the next in the series
I was so excited to read Chasing Trista, and WOW Elizabella Baker did NOT disappoint! This is a grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers book. That was HOT Trista is one feisty, strong woman who is attracted to Falcon from their first meeting, but he thinks she is just some dumb model and doesn't think to much of her. These two grow closer and can no longer fight their feelings for one another. This book is a hot, romantic suspense that I could not put down! I can't wait for the rest of the series! I received an ARC copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review.
My word, we all knew the sparks flew between these two; however, while reading you instantly felt the roaring flames. Trista and Erik (Falcon) are yet another perfect for each other couple. The Fiestiness of Trista and the overbearing "ape", as Trista calls him, Falcon finally give into the disires they have. All while learning more about each other's past, the past starts to haunt Trista. I won't spoil anything, but I felt for Trista the entire time.
Highly recommend, and can't wait to see what's next in the series.
Loved watching Eric (Falcon) fall in love with Trista!! Falcon was ALPHA all the way, even falling in love he owned it with no regrets!! Trista was a beautiful person inside and out. She has so much going on in her life.
They way they came together was sooo good and steamy! **swoon** Trista is determined to find out the truth about her friend, while Falcon is determined to protect her, but not to smoother her.
Their relationship was amazing and true to their characters!! Now I can’t wait for the next book!!
Anyone that reads my reviews knows I'm a SUCKER for a good enemies-to-lovers romance, but man, this one was on another LEVEL. It was one giant rollercoaster ride full of steam, sass, and suspense that will leave you on the edge of your seat needing to know what happens next. I was very excited for this book based on glimpses of their relationship in previous books, and it did NOT disappoint. Trista and Falcon are one of my favorite couples, and this is one of my favorite books in this trope. If you get a chance to read it, dive right in. I promise you won't regret it. ❤️
Book two in this second series after Charlie team and Wesley book.I am glad the team don't spend the series chasing the bad guy.This one the team find a few surprises but a END to the king who was stalking them in Charlie team series. I must admit the ending was a bit really Nicole is to stupid and green eye jealous to run fear and loyalty to the men that died for them and king was stupid to keep her around why did he hate wes so much they never had history plus why did he call him and help jenna? I felt a lot of lose ends never got told.
Wow what a great beginning to a new series with some of my favorite people from past stories. I loved Marco and Ember’s story but oh my god I just knew Falcon and Trista would be explosive, and I was right ! You can just feel the sexual tension and the blast coming. Trista is strong and doesn’t back down and Falcon is a warrior which makes for a great story. All I can say is read it!
Okay readers!!!! WARNING this book is hawt. Supplies are needed before reading this book. So gather a bottle of water, another pair of panties, a fire extinguisher, and a fan before you are ready to read. PS my kindle started smoking. Trista is our fav supermodel, friend, and second chances owner. She is a badass we know this. However team leader Falcon thinks she is an airhead that butts in to places that that she does not belong. When they have to interact everybody back up because she might get burned. When Falcon is tasked with finding our heroine when she leaves and tells no one he is fired up and ready to give her a piece of his mind. She needs to stay home and let the professionals handle it according to him. However it quickly becomes clear that Trista knows who the team is hunting and can really help. Will Trista and Falcon call a truce? Will they continue to fight? Will they give into their desires and set the sheets on fire? You have to read to find out.
Trista has been my favorite female in both series, I couldn't wait to read her story. She is headstrong and takes no ish from anyone, men Included. No way anyone other than Falcon could handle this fiery woman. And boy is their chemistry explosive. Still fanning myself.
Sex trafficking is just horrible. Thank goodness that there are strong men and women who are dedicated to help them. This is the story of Ember who was trafficked, was rescued and turned her life around only to be kidnapped again. And the brave man who went to the end of the earth to find her.
Elizabella Baker knows how to write romantic suspense. I was glued to my IPad until I finished this book. Trista and Falcon are one steamy couple. They are perfect together. The author writes such well rounded characters. She fleshes out her storylines to perfection. I just loved this book and the series. I look forward to the next book to come.
I have said it before but Elizabella Baker produces books that keep her on my must have author list, and Chasing Trista is simply fabulous! Falcon and Trista are an explosive combination, this book kept me turning the pages as fast as i could, definitely another 5 star read!
3.5 stars from me. I liked the book, but didn’t love it. Erik and Trista were interesting, but again the female lead was an exhausting PITA with her supposedly bold and ballsy persona that to me came across as annoying. A quick, fun read to pass the time.
Beauty and the Beast, Bravo style! The Beast is a gorgeous one, however, but not loving- yet. Is this when King is captured? If you want to know about King, read the books in Charlie Team and Bravo Team. Great work by the author
I enjoy stories of stars crossed couples. The conversations are pulsing with innuendo and humorous. Trista and Eric made a delightful journey of discovery of each other.
Trista and Falcon are strong hard headed individuals. While Falcons team are trying to find and stop a traffic ring Trista realizes she can identify one of the leaders.
Wow loving this series!! It's so good and the characters are so wonderful. This was about Trista who ran Second Chances a halfway house for victims of Human trafficking and her Protector man Falcon. Falcon was big, gruff, and a Viking of a man who was very protective. As against Trista who is fiesty, strong but takes no prisoners. Both have a stubborn streak and preconceived ideas about the other. Their chemistry was to die for and although they had their issues that they worked through, they learnt to communicate. This was an amazing story that I just loved and can not wait for more in the series. Just so good!!! This was an ARC and this is my honest review.
