Nikki’s Review:
I'll admit, I'm a sucker for a yummy book cover. Romance novel
covers are works of art sometimes. When I saw, Thrill of the Chase, I was
attracted to the sensuality that was on display. The cover was sexy without
being overtly in your face about it. I know you shouldn't judge a book by its
cover, and I try not to, but damn this one rang all my bells!
Elle Keating is a new to me author. Let me first say that her
writing style was great. I liked the story that she was building from the very
beginning. I enjoy a book where the heroine or hero have had difficulties in
their lives and are able to become stronger from the journey that follows. This
is pretty much where my enjoyment ended though.
Erin Whitley has been violated in the worst possible way. It's
horrific to even think about. I can't even imagine how you begin to pick up the
pieces. For these reasons, I was stunned when she jumped into a relationship
with a man who gives his own definition to domineering and possessive. It
actually borders on creepy at times. What shocked me more was that this
relationship takes place a mere 11 months after her brutal attack! I just found
it so unbelievable that a woman who has been raped, would be ready to jump head
first into a new relationship that is so consuming, quickly after the
fact.
Chase Montclair is arrogant. His forwardness in his initial
interactions with Erin were a put off for me. I struggled to like him at first.
He did redeem himself eventually, though it took some time. He's obsessed with
Erin, and she is entranced by him. My thoughts on their relationship was pretty
much like...what a train wreck! He's keeping secrets and she's keeping secrets.
And none of the reasons for doing so were sound. I just kept shaking my head.
I did enjoy the suspense aspect of the story. Erin's attacker
makes another appearance. It kept me guessing on who it could be. I liked the
twists and turns that led me to the perpetrator.
There was some solid stuff to this book. I just couldn't believe
a lot of what was going on. I could have wrapped my head around it a bit more
if the time between her rape and getting together with Chase, was longer. I'm
just not sure how she could have been emotionally ready to deal with Chase's
possessive ways.
I feel like a reader deserves to know BEFORE they read a book,
if there is a cliffhanger. Some people are ok with that. Me? Well, it makes me
want to punch something. If a book has a cliffhanger, I'll wait until the whole
story is available to me. This book has a cliffhanger. So ya, that made me see
red. I'm still unsure if I'll read the next book. I wasn't able to connect with
Chase and Erin's relationship and that makes it difficult for me to want to
follow up with them in book 2.
