Giving Chase is the first book in the Chase Brothers series by Lauren Dane. I had a couple of this author’s other books on my to read list including her Delicious series but just never got to them. So when this one came on my radar as a re-release, I decided this was the perfect way to get to know this author. Margaret (Maggie) Wright grew up always being told she wasn’t good enough, that she wasn’t as pretty as her older sister. Her mother and sister did everything in their power to demean her. Her father remained silent. Maggie went on to college and became a high school history teacher. With pretty severe self confidence issues, which is to be expected, she keeps herself under the radar. Her two best friends have had enough and give her a make over before a blind double date. After a couple of dates with Alex, the man she was fixed up with, Maggie sees red flags like crazy with his behavior and stops seeing him. At the same time, suddenly the Chase brothers seemed to have noticed her. She has no idea why she would even be on their radar. In her opinion, she is no where near good enough for any of them.Now let me introduce you to the Chase Family. I am just in love with this family. Mom, Polly, and Dad, Edward have raised four very good looking, successful in their own individual ways, boys. In this book you will mostly get to know two of them, Shane, the Police Chief, and Kyle who owns a landscaping business. All the boys knew Maggie but none had gotten to know her more than just in passing. But they noticed her now. The first to ask her out is Shane. But Shane has serious commitment issues from a past heartbreak and after a couple of dates, he runs. I do want to address something here. I have read that some readers didn’t like that she dated one brother first before falling for another. But they never did more than some heated kisses. And keep in mind that Maggie is completely overwhelmed that they are even acknowledging her, let alone asking her out!Kyle felt attracted to Maggie from the start. He can’t believe he never bothered to get to know her before. After his brother walked away from her, he waited several weeks before asking her out himself. He knew right away she was special, that she could be important to him. Maggie felt it too but it takes her a long time to actually accept that someone like Kyle could really care for her. Once these two start dating, their feelings develop pretty fast. They certainly don’t lack in chemistry. Together they are hotter than hot. Maggie’s family, though, does their best to beat her down and cause drama. And at the same time, there is danger lurking. Something that could rip them apart and destroy their lives. Through it all, the Chase family rallies around Maggie and becomes the family she never had. “In the last half an hour, she’d gotten more comfort and love from the Chase family than she’d had from her own over her entire life.” I really enjoyed this book. It did take me awhile to get used to her writing style. She switched back and forth pretty fast between point of views and a couple of times I had to go back a few sentences to make sure I knew who was talking. But the book was fast moving, steamy, sweet, and suspenseful. I loved the ending. It seems like Shane gets another chance at love in the next book in the series, Taking Chase. Will he run again? I definitely won’t hesitate to read more by this author.
