Saving Chase

Crescent Harbor, Book 1

By: Irene Onorato

Narrated by: Dallin Bradford

Three lives on a collision course with destiny....

Logan Construction Services CEO Dan Logan desperately wants to get away and lick his wounds after being dumped by his fiancée and suffering through a devastating jobsite fatality on the same day. He retreats to a secluded island alone, but his vacation takes a dangerous turn when he rescues a teenage boy who shipwrecks on the rocky shore. A battle of wills ensues that threatens both their lives.

Dory Devereaux, a widow of six years, flees Massachusetts with her delinquent sixteen-year-old son, Chase, hoping to keep him from being placed in juvenile detention until he’s deemed an adult at 18. Her world crumbles when she finds Chase missing the morning after arriving at her former in-laws’ house in South Carolina.

Anxiety turns to despair when the police take Dory to the morgue to possibly identify a teen boy whose body was found washed ashore by a local fisherman. Can things get any worse?

Fast paced happily ever after

Saving Chase was a really captivating story. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it! This book is a little different in that the romance doesn’t come into play until the last part of the book. Dan and Dory have a quick sweet relationship before the book ends. Most if the story is Dan bonding with Dory’s son Chase. Chase has run away and he ends up on an island with Dan. Dan has come to the island to breath after a difficult time at work. Their lives collide, and Chase learns a lot about being a better person from Dan. I couldn’t put the book down!

Saving a teen aged boy.

My take away from this book: Our youth need fathers/men in their lives. No more man bashing. Women, lift up your men. They have a major role in God's order. God's plan.

Saving Chase is well written. A heartfelt story, coming of age, with a little romance. It could be a movie. It is that good.

I was gifted an Audible version of this book from the author through Story Origin. Dallin Bradford, the narrator, presented this story beautifully. He's easy to listen to with a voice to match the characters. 5 stars for him as well.

Wow! I loved it!

Oh! I loved this one! This is the first book in the Crescent Harbor Series. The storyline is beautifully written, and heartwarming. The cast of characters is amazing!! Dan and Chase are fantastic characters. Dan is handsome, caring, protective, and supportive. Dory, Chase's single Mom, is beautiful, strong, and supportive. The grandparents are fantastic supporting characters. The supporting characters are great! I liked the twists and turns, the adventure, and the little and clean romance by the end. Dallin Bradford did an amazing job with the narration. He has a beautiful voice, very pleasant to listen to. This is a great story, and I enjoyed it a lot. Looking forward for more in the series. I HIGHLY recommend it.
