Caught in the Chase

Caught Series, Book 3

De: Kacey Shea

Narrado por: Teddy Hamilton, Savannah Peachwood

An emotional story of healing, redemption, and love from USA Today best-selling author Kacey Shea.

This summer I'm leaving my hometown for a fresh start. It's a necessary choice in my pursuit of a full and sober life. Besides, escaping to the Outer Banks isn't a hardship. This seaside town holds everything I need and more.

That is, until I run into Chase Matthews.

He's an arrogant, cocky, self-absorbed jerk who has already come between me and my best friend once. The smart thing to do is keep him at a distance, even if he seems lost and alone.

Instead, I'm compelled to help him.

Chase is broken and beautiful in ways I fully understand. It's been months since I've indulged in a drink, but I've found a new obsession.

He's everything I want and the last thing I need.

Each day draws us closer, but I can't allow myself to get caught up in Chase. We were only meant to have the summer. A temporary fling. Yet my heart has other plans. I don't know how I'll ever walk away. Even if he costs me everything.

Enjoy Alicia and Chase's epic love story, Caught in the Chase, or start with Callie's book, Caught in the Flames.

Exceptional Story & Listen🎧Riveting & Heartfelt!

Kacey Shea never ceases to amaze me with her brilliant mind and the amazing stories she creates, I enjoy her writing style and how realistic and relatable her characters and storylines are, which makes it easy to connect with them and to get fully immersed and invested in the story. There is great world building and character development and the complexity of these characters is vast and amazing. This third book of the “Caught” series is Alicia and Chase Matthews’ story and what a story it is, while each book in this series is a standalone I highly recommend starting enjoying them in order written, first, they are all amazing, second, these characters appeared in earlier books and it is great to know a bit of their backstory and what brought them to where they are in this book. No worries you if you decide to read this on its own you will not feel lost, or that something is missing, the story flows naturally and everything you need to know is detailed in their story. That said, Chase Matthews, a cocky, arrogant player, and he was a bit of a dick in the first book, ok, more than a bit. His cockiness catches up to him in this book and he makes the biggest mistake of his life and it may cost him every he held dear to his heart and life as he knew it and lived it. It was even worse for his friend and coworker who lost even more. His family has had enough of him, especially his father, though he did one more thing for him before he was exiled out of town and out of his job. Alicia has made bad choices in her life, it almost cost her her best friends, who have since forgiven her. She has come a long way since but still knows sobriety and recovery is a work in progress. She is waiting to hear from the graduate programs she applied to, she does not want a career in the family business but she’d rather help people. Against her father’s wishes, she takes an internship at a community center in the Outer Banks to work with youth. Used to upscale and pristine living conditions, she is in for a bit of an adjustment, but she is a sport about it because the job will look good on her resume. Plus, she it gives her to opportunity to live a clean, sober life while being outside of her comfort zone. What she was not expecting to find there was Chase Matthews, not just visiting the area but volunteering at the community center. Chase is the last person she wants to see, but she can not just blow him off, though she would love to see him go. He is there for a reason and it takes him time to get past the anger and guilt of the situation before he can admit to what he really is and once he does, he takes that first step to recovery. Alicia, a recovering alcoholic, can relate to his struggles and she softens up to him, even tries to help him. Which leads to more, the chemistry between these two is electric and undeniable, and they could only ignore it for so long. But things are not that simple for them, he is new to recovery and relationships are not recommended and she plans for her life that do not include him, she also has friends who are not Chase Matthews fans. This story just blew me away, it grabbed not just my attention but my heart too, the emotions pour off the pages, heartfelt and gut wrenching ones, and that ending, lets say I am happy that the next book is coming to audio soon, otherwise I may have flipped out. Chase and Alicia's story is not over yet, there is more to come and I am looking forward to see where it goes. This book is definitely one of Kacey Shea’s best works yet, ok, maybe I say that about all her books, but this one covers a topic that is close to my heart and she does an amazing job handling alcoholism and recovery. This story is beautifully plotted with plenty of drama, angst, heartfelt emotions and some steamy romance. Chase definitely redeems himself in this book in a number of ways, kittens included. Kacey Shea, thank you for another amazing novel and emotional rollercoaster ride..

🎧 📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Teddy Hamilton and Savannah Peachwood are the perfect cast to bring these characters and their story to life. They had a complete understanding of the characters they portrayed, gave each a voice that fit that character’s persona to a tee, sounded believable in every role they played, and just as I pictured the characters to sound. Savannah Peachwood’s Alicia was spot on, she grasped her every emotion and had you feeling them, Teddy Hamilton did the same for Chase. Both were great at covering the roles of the secondary characters, too. These mega talented narrators are versatile voice artists and entertaining storytellers. Thank you for another exceptional listen, it is always a pleasure to listen to your audiobooks.

An Amazing and Memorable Story!!

Emotional, Passionate, Inspiring and Brilliantly brought to life by Teddy Hamilton and Savannah Peachwood.

Caught in the Chase is beautifully and masterfully crafted. It has it all, suspense, tragedy, steamy romance, sweetness, angst and much more. You can feel it all through the engrossing, and fascinating performance by this two amazing narrators that make you feel as if you are part of the story.

This series by author Kacey Shea is one of the most inspiring, intense, entertaining and immensely captivating that I have listened/read. All in all, this amazing and memorable story that'll touch the depths of your soul, and get you hooked right from the start. I absolutely loved it, and highly recommend it.

Wonderfully written..love Alisha and Chase

This is one rollercoaster ride of emotions. Ups, downs with twists and turns! I really got to delve deep into these characters lives, thoughts and emotions. It makes me become invested in them. Alisha really has had quite the life. I feel sorry for her but also admire her courage to go after what she wants. Chase…man! I was angry with him but eventually got over it and saw what he was trying to do with his life. Do these two belong together? I agree with Alisha’s thoughts but also love their passion when together.

This story also covers addiction. This one is on drinking but a lot of the thoughts they have would apply to other addictions. It really gives the reader something to think about if there is anything they are addicted to(flossing, reading, eating or really just anything). I enjoy the characters thoughts on—just one sip won’t hurt or one sip leads to more. Both are right.

Anyway this story is good, hits all the right spots and easily kept my interest. I look forward to the next to see how things turn out for all the characters not just Alisha and Chase.

I did listen to this on audio. Savannah Peachwood and Teddy Hamilton did amazing. Each brought the perfect inflictions to their characters voices.

Redemption at it's finest!!

Kacey!!! I don't know whether I love you or hate you right now!!! Seriously though, you completely killed me with this story!!! I was not a fan of Chase or really Alicia prior to this book. In fact, I'm not sure I would have said they needed or even deserved a happy ending. But this book changed EVERYTHING! Right from the beginning you feel the characters, you get what/how they feel, all of it, the highest of highs and especially when they both hit rock bottom. Chase's journey of discovery and enlightenment is HUGE. Alicia grows in this story, but you can tell still has work to do. I enjoyed getting more some of the side characters from previous books, but we also get to meet some new people around the community center in Kittyhawk. And the narration was absolutely perfect with Teddy Hamilton and Savannah Peachwood. The cliffhanger was a killer, but I will be anxiously awaiting the audio of Caught in Us ❤
