Taking Chase By Lauren Dane

I was given an ARC in exchange of an honest review.

Cassie Gambol is on the run. In what seems like another lifetime, her ex-husband nearly ended her life and effectively ended her successful career as a vascular surgeon. But even though the justice system found him guilty of attempted murder, he fled while awaiting sentencing and Carly Sunderland became Cassie Gambol. Fleeing Los Angeles, she heads to small and off the map Petal, Georgia to start her life again. 

Shane Chase, a man whos held himself away from commitment since his fiance dumped him several years before knows the beautiful newcomer is hiding something. He's wildly attracted to her strength and her underlying vulnerability as well. But the last thing Cassie wants is another big, overwhelming man who wants to control her life. 

A battle begins between Shane, who knows what he wants and Cassie, who tries to keep a distance between herself and the very handsome sheriff. But Cassies ex is back and he wants her dead. 

Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language, some violent situations.

I love Lauren Dane´s books and I was rather excited to receive this ARC, but it though it was a good book, I kept remembering Dance Upon The Air, the first book of the Three Sister´s Island Trilogy by Nora Roberts. It was very similar, we have a woman running away from a maniac ex who will stop at nothing but murder, and a over protective sheriff as a new romantic interest. In a small town where they come to hide and found friendship and love.

I am not saying it was a bad book, not at all. It was good, and I thouroughly enjoyed, but as a huge fan of Nora´s books, and being Dance Upon the Air, one of my favorites. I guess Taking Chase would always wind up short.

Eu amo os livros da Lauren Dane e fiquei bastante animada em receber este ARC, mas apesar de ser um bom livro, eu ficava sempre lembrando de Dançando no Ar, o primeiro livro da trilogia da Magia da Nora Roberts. 

Achei muito parecido, temos uma mulher fugindo de um ex maníaco que não vai parar por nada, a não ser assassinato, e um xerife super protetor como um novo interesse romântico. Em uma pequena cidade onde ela vai para se esconder e acaba encontrando amizade e amor.




Eu não estou dizendo que foi um livro ruim, pelo contrário. Foi bom, e eu gostei bastante, mas como uma grande fã dos livros da Nora, e sendo Dançando no Ar, um dos meus favoritos, acredito que "Taking Chase" sempre ficaria faltando algo.
