It’s an undercover mission. Get in. Get close to the woman. Get the intel. Get out. Should be easy enough. Right?Wrong. Chase Durant’s newest assignment goes wrong from the moment he meets Vivian Wayne. She’s not cold and calculating. The scientist is charming, funny, and absolutely freaking gorgeous. He’s supposed to be seducing secrets out of her. She’s supposed to be a selling classified … to be a selling classified intel. She’s supposed to be bad.
She’s the best thing he’s ever seen.
Doesn’t take long for the Wilde agent to realize that Vivian has been set-up, and the folks setting her up thought they could use Wilde to do their dirty work. Thought they could use Chase in order to make Vivian vulnerable so that she’d be the perfect target.
Wrong.
Instead of using her, Chase is determined to protect Vivian. The only problem? He’s been lying to her from day one, and things have…heated up between them. More like gone molten. Because Chase wants her more than he’s ever wanted anyone, and he’s not about to step back and let another agent take over her case. Vivian needs protecting, and he’s just the man for the job.
Correction—he’s just the man for Vivian. He just has to prove that he can be the right one for her.
Wrong.
But when Vivian finds out that he’s been lying, how can she trust him? Time is running out, and Vivian’s heart is in tatters. She fell for the wrong man, and now she might pay for that mistake with her life. Chase seemed perfect. He flew past her defenses, and she thought he seemed might be just—
Right.
Chase won’t back down. He won’t give up. He’ll prove to Vivian that she can count on him. Prove to her that he will always put her first. Prove to her that he can be the right man for her. He simply has to destroy her all of enemies and convince Vivian to fall for him once more. Only this time, she’ll be falling for the real man. Not the lie.
All in a day’s work for a Wilde agent…right?
Author’s Note: Opposites don’t just attract—they explode. Sparks are gonna fly, lust is gonna burn, and Mr. Cocky and Confident Chase is about to fall hard for a woman who snuck right past his guard. Bam. There may be groveling involved before the book is done. And, of course, lots of scorching scenes. Happy ending guaranteed, no cliff-hangers—just fun, hot romance, and plenty of action.

As I’ve said before I’m still reading the Wilde Ways series. And while I love all of them, Chase After Me kept me up reading until 2:00 am to finish it. I literally couldn’t put it down. Loved this book! A page-turner to the end, steamy and with great characters.
I received a complimentary copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
This story starts off with a bang that immediately grabbed my attention. Ms. Eden has created unique characters that are lively and well-rounded. In fact, most of their personalities change several times throughout the story. Even the secondary characters were interesting.
I love the chemistry and repartee between Chase and Vivian. As I read, my emotions ran the gamut: I laughed, cried, and was often scared about what would happen next. It was so much fun to read this story that I couldn’t put the book down.
Ms. Eden has created an exciting plot that starts off very calm and easy-going. It slowly escalates until, by the end of the book, there is all-out-war. Then when you think everything is all over, the author dumbfounds the readers with some last minute revelations
This romantic suspense is a thrilling page-turner with lots of action, twists, suspense and some hot sex.
Another homerun from one of my favorites! Cynthia Eden covers the bases with Chase and Vivian. Their story has suspense, humor and steam, what more can you ask for. I love Chase, he has that laid-back charm that makes you all warm inside. Vivian is the opposite but just as charming. She is all awkward grace and beauty. This is an afternoon of reading worthy book.
Chase After Me by Cynthia Eden is book 9 in the Wilde Ways Series. This is the story of Chase Duran and Vivian Wayne. I have read the previous books, which did and to my enjoyment of this one but I do feel you can make this a standalone book if you wish to do so. Chase is on an undercover assignment for Wilde Security, that has him spying on Vivian who is suspected of removing confidential information and selling it. Vivian is a scientist who is smart, beautiful and has some funny characteristics, but what she isn’t is a theft. Which doesn’t take Chase to long to start seeing that he has been sent to set up Vivian. Now he has to protect her and come clean about who he is. I am such a fan of this author’s writing. I highly recommend her books.
I adored Vivian. I mean, I loved Chase too, but Vivian is clever, brave, honest, and doesn’t hesitate to do what she thinks is needed to keep people safe. She’s gotten into a crappy situation through no fault of her own, and continues to be positive and try to fix everything. I enjoy how Chase puts everything on the line for her, both emotionally and physically, and how once he commits, he’s with her one-hundred percent. Another fantastic book in the Wilde Ways series.
A fun read!!
This book was exactly what I needed after going through a difficult time since my dad passed away last month.
It’s a great asset to the Wilde ways series.
I loved the characters Chase and Vivian.
It’s a fast paced fun read. Good storyline and a good balance between romance and suspense.
I can really recommend it. Be sure to read the other Wilde Ways books, although this can be perfectly read as a standalone you wouldn’t want to miss the other books in this great series.
Cynthia Eden is definitely one of my favorite authors! Never a miss!!
I received this arc from the author and this review is my honest opinion.
CHASE AFTER ME is the ninth instalment in Cynthia Eden’s contemporary, adult WILDE WAYS romantic suspense series focusing on the men and women who work for Wilde Ways Security. This is former Navy SEAL and Wilde Ways security specialist Chase Durant, and CIA Digital Forensic Engineer Vivian Wayne’s story line. CHASE AFTER ME can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
Told from third person perspective CHASE AFTER ME follows former Navy SEAL and Wilde Ways security specialist Chase Durant on his latest assignment. Wilde Ways has been tasked by the CIA to infiltrate and uncover the truth about CIA Digital Forensic Engineer Vivian Wayne. Vivian Wayne is suspected of stealing CIA personnel files but having met our story line heroine Chase Durant suspects Vivian is about to take the fall for someone else. When Vivian becomes the target of an unknown enemy, Chase places himself in the direct line of fire to protect the woman with whom he is falling in love. What ensues is the building but forbidden relationship between Chase and Vivian, and the potential fall-out as the people involved go much deeper than anyone could have expected.
Chase Durant knows to get involved with his latest target could mean the end of his security career but something about Vivian draws Chase like a moth to a flame including the ‘sense’ that Vivian is not the enemy. Vivian Wayne is on leave from the CIA but our heroine begins to suspect that Chase is more than her new next door neighbor when a series of events involving Chase and his partner Merik begins to spiral out of control.
The relationship between Vivian and Chase is one of immediate attraction but Vivian is Chase’s target, his assignment. The sexual tension is raw; the $ex scenes are spicy and seductive without the use of over the top,sexually graphic language and text.
We are introduced to Wilde Ways owner Erik Wilde, Chase’s friends and fellow Wilde Ways employees Lacey Amari , and Merik Stone; CIA operative and investigator Dex Ryan, and building maintenance manager Jacob Webb.
CHASE AFTER ME is a spirited story of betrayal, secrets, lies, power and control. The character driven premise is inviting; the characters are sassy, flirty and charismatic; the romance is provocative and intense.
I’m always so happy to read a story by Cynthia Eden. She has the best characters. I love her alpha males. There is just something about them. You can’t help wanting them.
So here we are with Chase. I really like him and his “huh’s” I don’t know how that one word is such a turn on but it is. Then you have Vivian you knowns just why he says it and you know they are the perfect couple. These two just work.
Right from the start, you can see how fast Chase falls for Vivian. He doesn’t believe all that’s being said and works as hard as he can to protect her.
I also enjoyed the interaction between them and Dex who for some reason calls to me. Eden is good for doing that to me. I read about a new male character and want his book. As in the prior book, Dex is there and in your face. How Chase didn’t kill him I have no clue.
Why Chase does everything he can to protect Vivian the people around him aren’t sure if she can be trusted. It puts a bit of a damper on friendships that’s for sure.
What I loved was how well the action flowed throughout the story and the little surprises we learned. This is the perfect addition to the Wilde Ways series. If you like lighter suspense with humor this series is perfect for you. Did I also mention the alpha males? Can’t forget that. You’ll also find the stories all well-written. Now we finally get Dex’s story and I just can’t wait for it. You’ve got some time to read all the stories in time for Dex.
The Wilde Ways Series is as hot as ever with the ninth book, Chase After Me by Cynthia Eden. This book has a man on a mission, a smart woman and one convincing organization. Thankfully, the agenda driven mission is seen as it really is.
Chase Durant’s suave charming James Bond personality is the perfect counterpart to the scientific minded, intelligent, sweet, beautiful Vivian Wayne. This addition to the series has all the passion of the previous books but is the funniest, with several laugh out loud scenes. Of course, Chase hasn’t been honest from the beginning so some groveling is needed to win over the one who turns out to be his one true love.
This is just the kind of story we all need right now; an enemy that can be stopped, a man who will right his wrong, a woman smart enough to believe in him by the end and a few laughs along with the danger.
4.5 Stars
An ARC of the book was provided by the publisher through NetGalley which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Chase After Me is the ninth book in the Wilde Ways Series. It is another amazing read with wonderful characters. It pulled me in from the beginning and kept me riveted until the end. I love this amazing book and this amazing series. I would definitely recommend this book and this amazing series.
Four and a half
So it’s was finally time for uber confident Chase to fall and boy does he fall hard. He’s on a mission undercover to get close to a woman who has stolen CIA secrets that could get many killed but Vivian isn’t at all what Chase expected. Vivian is sweet and yet sharp, prickly and yet warm and did I mention she’s a very talented hacker ? Yes Vivian is so bright you could probably see her from space but the question is what will Chase do when he starts to doubt that she really is a traitor ?
For all his bravado and cocky ways Chase really is very protective and Vivian pushes all his buttons here so be prepared for a very jealous, gung ho hero because I don’t think Chase knows how to back down. I really liked the way Vivian could turn on a dime from gentle almost hesitate to this clever, brave woman. Yes if Chase is the brawn then Vivian is most assuredly the brain of their relationship and I found that strangely satisfying. The synopsis tells you it’s a happy ending so I won’t go into details but there are perhaps one or two red herrings to keep you guessing who Vivian needs to be wary of with action thrown in to keep you on the edge of your seat. Yes its a hot and heavy romance but Chase is a man who likes to savour whether it be Vivian or even a plate of chocolate brownies ! Plenty of clues about who the next book is about but I spotted someone else who was introduced here and I know the author has a habit of going back and bringing them to life in subsequent stories so I will be watching closely to discover if I’m right. A fun, satisfying read about two characters who have struggled to overcome their pasts and I’m happy to say they find a love that many can only dream of.
This voluntary take is of an advanced copy and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair
Every book in this series just gets better than the last!!
Vivian is quirky, shy and does not trust easily. I love how she just starts sprouting off random facts when she’s nervous and she’s super smart.
Chase is sent undercover to catch her red handed stealing government secrets. As soon as he meets her he starts having doubts about her guilt.
The combination of humor, suspense, hotness and great story line make this the perfect Summer Read.
I love all the crossover’s from other series. There is lots of banter between characters. Chase is super alpha and protective. Lots of suspense with a OMG twist I didn’t see coming.Smoking hot as always.
I can’t get enough of this series and the next book is something I did see coming and I’m so ready!
Another great addition in the stories of Wylde Security This time we get Chase Durant’s story he is sent in undercover to try to get information from Vivian Wayne she is a worker in the computer department of the CIA and it is believed she has stolen information about under cover agents and sold it He rents a flat near her to make the connection and from the word go things don’t ring true He soon realises that Vivian is been set up someone wants her dead and are using Wylde to do it. Now all he wants to do is keep her safe for the rest of her life but he has lied to her Will she forgive him and can they have a future together You will have to read to see
This is another great fun read in this great series all of the books can be read as stand alone but do yourself a favour and read them all they are the perfect mix of suspense and drama and super hot romance.
Super cute! This was a fun read. It had that perfect blend of suspense, romance, j/p hero, quirky heroine and humor.
Chase takes one look at Vivian and he is mesmerized. Never mind that he’s there to find proof of her crime and take her down.
Vivian is that mix of sweet, quirky, but strong heroine. She quotes facts when she’s nervous. She’s a bookworm and a little bit shy. But, don’t mess with her because she is also fearless.
Overall, I enjoyed these two and their adventure. I had just finished a pretty emotion book when I started this and it was exactly what I needed to read to get my mood back to happy.
WHAT A STUPENDOUS, THRILLING, ENTERTAINING AND WONDERFULLY SEXY AND SUSPENSEFUL RIDE CHASE AFTER ME WAS!
This book had it ALL! Laughs, wit, sizzling chemistry, AMAAAAAZING characters and a plot that constantly kept me on my toes and had me begging for more. I so very much liked Chase. He was fierce, sexy as hell, sweet, protective, and smart while Vivian was an amazing, genuine kind of heroine and her quirks were honestly charming. I loved these two! This story was loaded with action and twists and surprises mixed with hot sex and heart melting romance that just did me in. I honestly don’t think I will ever get enough of Cynthia Eden’s romantic suspense novels because they make me happy and leave me breathless. Every. Single. Time. I am never disappointed! Chase After Me won my heart and I am already excited about reading it again.
Chase After Me gets a SENSATIONAL TEN SUPER HOT AND BOLD STARS! Readers will NOT want to miss the newest Wilde Ways novel.
After reading Never Gonna Happen by this author, I made a pledge to start reading all the books in the Wilde series because I loved it so much. Well, Chase After Me became available thanks to NetGalley so I just had to read it first. Even though I haven’t read the other books in the series, I was able to follow along and enjoyed it thoroughly. I believe each book is a standalone, but I definitely intend to read the other ones immediately! I love everything about this authors writing. Chase is an ex Seal and a Wilde agent and Vivian has a few secrets he’s attempting to uncover. I loved these characters and their instant connection. Again, the suspense, the storyline and the explosive chemistry between Chase & Vivian made this another winner for me. The character development of the secondary characters is excellent and makes for a very enjoyable read. I can’t wait to read Dex’s story next! I have a feeling it is going to be stellar! ;). I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC for NetGalley.

Chase After Me (Wilde Ways #9) by Cynthia Eden … I really enjoy this series…and loved this book..kept me on the edge of my seat. There was intrigue, some lies, some twists, some deception, lots of great interaction with Chase and Vivian…lots of steam and love all leading to a HEA. Can’t wait for the next book SAY I DO.
This story was so amazing I wanted to read it all over again. Chase Durant, an agent with Wilde Security, is living in an apartment near Vivian Wayne. She is his target. In her job in the computer department at the CIA, Vivian is suspected of removing confidential intel to sell…intel that could cost the lives of agents throughout the world. Chase thinks this will be an easy assignment, until he meets Vivian. She is nothing like what he expected and he doesn’t know if she is playing him or if she is completely innocent. As they both realize that there is an electric attraction between them, what will she do when she learns that he may not be one of the “good guys”? Ms. Eden’s characters are so unique that you feel an instant connection to them (loved Vivian’s “facts”). A complete thrill ride from beginning to end. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)
Five seductive, nerdy stars because I can’t hack into the system to make it ten!
I couldn’t wait to really meet Chase and learn his behind the scenes mannerisms. Particularly the ones that revolve around his use of the statement, “Huh” in any given situation. He’s driven other characters crazy with it but it only endears him to Vivian. And of course, that’s when you know it’s true love.
I loved the way this couple first meet and the following scenes that entail their getting to know each other. It was fresh, cute and had me grinning through it all. Chase captured my heart from the beginning when he becomes disgruntled that things with Vivian aren’t going as planned and then I fell completely in love when his fierce protective instincts rose up accompanied by his possessiveness of Vivian.
Vivian was not at all what I was expecting. She was nerdy with a tendency to ramble odd tidbits when nervous and holy heck, do I love a heroine with these characteristics. I fell as hard in love with her as I did Chase, if not more so.
This is definitely filled with action and drama that is primarily from outside their relationship although there is a bit of angst from within as well. I had the best time watching this couple grow together, deal with the problems around them, and fall in love, all while surrounded by bad guys, questionable guys, friends and coworkers…many that had me chuckling at their antics and banter.
Due to the action, this is a fast read and the steam level is Holy Heck Hot! I loved the twists I didn’t even see coming. Add in an ending that made my heart squeal with delight and an epilogue that has me ready for the next couple in the series, and I’m ready to turn back to the first page and read this one again!
