Absolutely loved this book. It is now my favorite by Hayley Faiman!!! Until the next one of course!!! She pulls you into her characters and their lives….I felt so connected with Hayden and Crooner!!! I couldn’t put it down read straight through no stopping!!!!
GREAT ADDITION TO THE SERIES
I didn’t enjoy this book as much as the others. I really didn’t like Crooner’s character. He’s too crude and the way he treat’s Hayden especially after what she went through just bothered me alot. It seemed like he just made it mostly about his past with his father. But that’s just my opinion. Now talk about cuteness overload. Hayden’s little boy Easten’s character is absolutely adorable. Hayley got a toddlers language spot on. When he took Hayden’s cheeks and said I hunry momma or I lub you was spot on so sweet. I could just picture it and smile. And when he’d grab Crooner by the beard. Adorable. I don’t want to give anything away but when little East gets taken away from Hayden I was crying just thinking about a toddler being taken away from his mom and Hayden is such an amazing and loving mom it was heartbreaking. Hayden has been to hell and met the devil and came back from it. Her character is so strong and not in a fighting way but an inner strength. When Crooner strings her along because of his inner demons was total bulsh*t to me it was obvious he was madly in love with her but he was so hung up on the age thing and his past haunts thing. I was kinda hoping Free would have stepped up and stole her away from him. I didn’t care for Baby either, I didn’t trust him at all. He was trying too hard to get under Crooner’s skin and p*ss him off. Just the thought of all those poor women was actually scary to think about but what’s even scarier is it could actually happen. I highly recommend this series to everyone.
When Hayden was rescued in a previous book, she started working at Cash Bar, one of the old ladies looked after her son, Easton, while she worked and Crooner/Ward took it upon himself to keep her safe. All was going well in her life now except for one thing… Crooner wouldn’t give into his feelings of desire he felt for her. They both knew how the other felt but for various reasons, Crooner felt Hayden deserved better than him. When another brother shows an interest though, Crooner has to decide to either claim Hayden as his own, or let her move on with someone else. His decision may not matter though when Hayden’s past catches up to her and puts not only her and Easton in danger but the whole club too.
OMG, I really do enjoy this series and Hayley Faiman’s writing. You start reading and the next thing you know three hours have passed, you’ve bitten all your nails off and you have forgotten to eat. lol. I can’t wait for the next one, which will hopefully be Free’s story. Another highly enjoyable read with drama, action, HOT sexy times and Chased With Strength gets 5 stars from me.
Let’s start off by saying that Hayley is one of my favorite author’s as she always creates wonderful character’s for us to love and cry over each and every-time.
Crooner & Hayden made one hot super couple.the sparks and chemistry and the love they had for one another made it so easy to love and read about them and their amazing love story.
Hayden and Crooner have had past history albeit not a intimate one as Crooner took part in saving her from a hellish life that was filled with abuse and sexual slavery but, from the moment they meet each other they forged a bond with one another that would last a lifetime. The connection and trust between them was so strong that it was easy for Hayden to start trusting someone again and begin the healing process and Crooner was a big part of that.We fell in love with Crooner for the patience and kindness he showed her and her child.From the very beginning of their meeting each other Crooner started falling in love even though he fought it every step of the way.
Omg ! his constant push and pull antic’s became priceless”’
lol
I loved how they deeply cared for one another even when they were apart and that their intense friendship developed into so much more.
” I loved how it all unfolded once Crooner decided to take what had always been his!”
I always pick a favorite character and my choice this time around is going to be Crooner as I just loved him from the start.I loved that he was trying to be selfless along with being protective,caring,kind, and dangerous to those who tried to hurt the ones he loved.I found his personality to be larger than life even along with having that dark and dangerous side to him to that we love as well.What I loved most about him was the way he was with baby Easton and how he stepped right into father mode without even realizing it it was something that just came so naturally to him.
I love the lit bit of a cat and mouse game this couple had going on as Crooner was obsessing over Hayden and protecting her from himself and yet fighting the inevitable .He reminded me of a caged tiger more than once.
“It was like whiplash sometimes lol.”I understood Crooners reasonings but, I even saw from the beginning it was a doomed cause as he lost his heart to Easton and Hayden from the very beginning of their acquaintance.I think it was love at first sight for him for them both of them.
I have to mention that it amazed me at the strength and determination Hayden had. I loved the way she loved Easton with her whole heart considering that he came into this world because something was taken from her that was not freely given just makes her more amazing to me.Selfless love……
I have to say that I really loved the story from beginning to end as the story line dabbled into subject content that is a growing concern for women today and that if you are strong enough you can rise above the ashes.I loved how something positive came out of a very bad situation and that meeting someone and other someones gave a beautiful soul a second chance at a new life.The story became very emotional at times as both Crooner and Hayden’s demons kept creeping up and interfering in their new found relationship but, I loved how they just had to find their way together to overcome those obstacles.
Just made their love stronger….
I will say that as much as I loved see this couple happy and the love grow between them I knew that their happily ever after was going to be a rocky one and it broke my heart for the trials that they would have to incur but, knew one filled with patience ,kindness and understanding would help them to achieve their kind of happiness they both deserved.
Another amazing hot and scorching read that was filled with a great cast of characters that made you laugh as well a want to cry.
Hot ! Hot! Hot!
I loved when you connect with the characters you read about and I was able to do that as both the main characters Hayden and Crooner and Easton were just so easy to love from the onset of the story.
Recommended read to all! Be sure to check out the first book in the Cash Bar series as that story was just as amazing!
5 stars
I loved Hayden’s story but it was a tough journey. Then there is the man that saved her but never felt he was good enough for her, so he walks about from her and Easton. When evil comes knocking on her door Hayden knows she will fight with everything in her to return to the life she wants with Crooner, no matter what he says. I love these characters so much. This was such an emotional book for me to read. Hayden’s story truly was such a triumph of strength and power. Highly recommended!!!
Loaded with scorching heat, nail biting suspense, and deeply emotional love Chased With Strength is a book that completely takes you over the second you start reading. The story gripped me and I could not put this book done for even a second while I was reading. Hayley Faiman has a fantastic way of writing a story that is full of romance that sweeps you off your feet while still maintaining the raw grit of the MC world.
While there is sweetness, Chased With Strength isn’t sugarcoated. This perfect blending of romance and gritty realness makes not only an incredible story but fully brings the characters to life. I’ve been dying for Crooner and Hayden’s story and while I expected a lot I had no idea I would be so blown away by these two. Crooner has been fighting his feelings for Hayden since day one. With his own demons along with all Hayden has been put through he just cannot see his own worth.
While Hayden doesn’t even try to hide how she feels about him, she also doesn’t want to be a doormat ever again. Her focus is to make life better for not only her, but her son. My heart hurt for both of them as they battled their way to each other, but while the road they took was winding and full of bumps the love they share is more than worth it. Their relationship isn’t perfect but it’s real and their love is powerful.
