Publisher's summary

Some small towns grow really good-looking men! This is the case with the four Chase brothers.

The homegrown hotties are on the wish list of every single woman in town and Maggie Wright is no exception. Maggie has finally had it with the men she's been dating but a spilled plate of chili cheese fries drops Shane Chase right into her lap. The sheriff is hot stuff but was burned by a former fiancée and is quite happy to play the field.

After Shane's skittishness sends him out the door, Maggie realizes that Kyle Chase has had his eye on her from the start. Now that Shane has messed up, Kyle has no intention of letting anything stop him from wooing her right into his bed. Now, despite Maggie's happiness and growing love for Kyle, a dark shadow threatens everything - she's got a stalker and he's not happy at all. In the end, Maggie will need her wits, strength, and the love of her man to get her out alive.

Give it up for the Chase Brothers!

Would you listen to Giving Chase again? Why?

Yes, think I would. Who wouldn't want Kyle Chase in their life? Even if through a book! WOW

What other book might you compare Giving Chase to and why?

I've listened to a lot of Romance Novels and try not to compare. The Chase Brothers are unique so there's no comparison.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Maggie and Kyle first met.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not really. I stopped and started. But, it was one I finished with a smile on my face. Have to love a happy ending. Of course life is not always like that but I do like my romance novels to end happily. That's why it's a book. The ending can be as the writer chooses not like real life.

Any additional comments?

Audible is a great way to listen to a book. The narrator is especially what make the book come to life. OK, Audible you need to offer your special credits. Would like to get some deals on here.

Passes the time while using the treadmill

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

It made the time spent on the treadmill less tiresome.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

It is a predictable love story, It did have a story, unlike some love stories. It is a damsel in distress story. The characters are likable.

What three words best describe Aletha George’s voice?

She is okay.

Did Giving Chase inspire you to do anything?

No, but I enjoyed it.

Loved this hot romance

Loved this slow burn, but hot romance. It’s characters left me with a feeling of family and loving all things Chase brothers. It’s sweet, hot, got some angst and most definitely a HEA. Moving on to book Two. Narration is excellent. Southern accent enhances the story.

Finding True Family

Athena George gave a great performance of a wonderful story about family, friends, and true love. Maggie and Kyle may have not gotten to each other the normal way but they definitely belong together.

Disappointing narration....

While this story isn't bad, the narration is poor - very little voice differentiation and intonation. I won't be considering the rest of the series until the narrator changes.

Maybe for twenty something crowd

Since I have enjoyed some of Lauren Dane's other books, I decided to give this series a try and quickly got bored. The story seemed immature and the characters flat to me. Maybe this was one of her earlier novels...

Awful childish writing

Why all the stars. I do not understand the high ratings. Do these reviewers really know what a good book is. I am dumbfounded. Wish I could give a negative rating

Surprisingly bad

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Nothing, it was just weak

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Narrator started off pretty fair, and then as different characters were introduced, it seems the narrator ran out of steam

Dumb.

Corny for lack of a better description. Could also say "sophomoric". I forced myself to finish it. It was a combination of everything that lacked for me. Sorry.
