The Chase (1) (Briar U)

Product Information

We have to remain in good standing,” Bianca pipes up, pleading at me with her eyes. Of the five bi-otches in front of me, she seems like the most reasonable.

There are things that I still liked. I mean, I genuinely liked Conor. And the way his story unfolded was satisfying. Not my favorite EK hero but I liked him a lot. An unexpected fake relationship trope romance in which will have your heart melting and wanting so much more... I’m not even sure college experiences as well as sorority and frat houses are anything like what this book portrays anymore. Maybe to some extent. In any case, I think I’ve outgrown high school/college romances. Gimme the real deal cause this ain’t it! Fitzy ès Summer szerintem remek karakterek. Bár a mellèkszereplők között is találtam igencsak ígèretes fèrjjelölteteket. Nagyon remèlem, hogy lesz mèg nagyobb szerepük. A csapat, a lègkör zseniális, a poènok tarolnak. Az energia csak úgy lüktet, a levegő pedig izzik.Conor’s my happy accident. My wrong place, wrong time, exactly right guy. He taught me how to love myself against my best efforts, showed me an image of myself I’d never believed was there. Strong. Beautiful. Confident. — Taylor I was hooked on The Chase right from the start and devoured it in less than 24 hours! Gosh I miss being in this world with these characters and all their shenanigans. Speaking of characters, I already have a favorite character in this series and her name is Brenna Jensen! I swear, Brenna is my soul sister because we are one in the same. She’s a little rough around the edges but she’s a great friend to Summer and I can’t wait until her books releases! Fitzy-nél nem értettem annyira a vonzódást még a kezdetekkor, aztán egyértelművé vált, mennyire kiegészítik egymást a szereplők. Nagyon tetszett benne, hogy küzd az álmaiért, de nem mindenáron, az elveiről nem mond le. De be kell vallanom én Hollis-t bírtam a legjobban, sajnáltam, mikor nem jött össze a „leborotválom érte minden szőrzetemet” randija. :D

But like I said in my pre-review, I still enjoyed this quite a bit. It has Kennedy's trademark humor and steam and complicated relationship dynamics but it didn't quite wow me like her other books. I have a feeling the series will only get better from her because the set up was already there. But that's just it, because of all the setting up being done, the focus on the romance between Summer and Fitzy suffered in the process.Prosecutor: THEN WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH DID YOU GIVE IT THREE STARS? WEREN'T YOU TAUGHT MATH AT SCHOOL?

I'm like a kid at a candy store when it comes to Elle Kennedy books. Every time she releases a new one, I do a happy squeal and a dance around the room. I just can't help myself. Her books are my happy place. Oh my God. First of all, Jasper was an aspiring country singer, not a rapper. Second, I was with two other girls and we were driving to Daytona Beach, not Miami. Third, he didn’t even try to touch me, let alone murder me.” I sigh. “Lacey did hook up with him, though, and he gave her herpes.”

A sorozat következő kötete

Conor Edwards is a regular at Greek Row parties…and in Greek Row sorority beds. He’s the one you fall for before you learn that guys like him don’t give girls like me a second glance. Except Mr. Popular throws me for a loop—rather than laughing in my face, he does me a solid by letting me take him upstairs to pretend we’re getting busy. My gaze lands on my new boots, courtesy of Nana Celeste. At least I’ve had smashing success in the shoe department. I liked both characters but at times they were frustrating. The length of time it took for Fitz and Summer to finally admit their true feelings for each other was almost mind-numbing. Also, there were just too many side plots going on that it was almost exhausting. I didn’t do anything,” I answer stiffly. But then defeat weakens my voice. “They don’t think someone like me is good for the sorority’s reputation. One of them said I was an arsonist.”

Kaya stares at me in disbelief. “Is this a point of pride for you? Getting expelled from one of the best colleges in the country?” You should’ve seen what she did to Daphne! She acted like it was the alcohol thing, but really she was just jealous because Daph slept with her ex-boyfriend Chris, so she made Daph’s life miserable. One weekend when Daphne was away, Kaya ‘accidentally’”—Bianca uses air quotes—“donated every piece of her clothing to these freshmen who were collecting stuff for the annual clothes drive. Daph eventually quit the sorority and moved out.”Jee-zus. One measly stomach pumping and poor Daphne gets Voldemorted? The Kappa Beta Nu chapter of Briar University is evidently a lot stricter than the Brown chapter. Summer fits her name to a T. She’s vibrant, energetic and just a fun-loving person to be around. It’s never a boring time when Summer is around and she’s super protective of the people she loves. I adored her to bits. While she’s usually in good spirits, there were times throughout this book where we see Summer struggle with a learning disability. She has a hard time focusing as she has ADHD and there were many times where she puts herself down, but she doesn’t give up even though there were times that she wanted so badly to do so. Fitzy is not at all what I was expecting him to be— HE’S A HOT NERD! Hello kink! I will say that there were moments where I wanted to yell at Fitzy for being so hard-headed, but he has his reasons for being closed off. Once we see him start to open up, we realize that Fitzy is a teddy bear at heart. Overall Pace of Story: Good for the most part. It did feel a little slow at times, and I felt like it was doing unfortunate time jumps and skipping over the good stuff once they finally are together.
