Previously published; newly refreshed by author Two days. One hotel room. Nothing but complete honesty between them. Marc Chase is known in the small town of Petal, Georgia, for being the youngest–and some would say wildest–Chase brother. But when longtime family friend Liv Davis signs up for some personal training sessions, Marc realizes the only woman he wants has been right in front of … has been right in front of him all along.
Mayor’s assistant Liv has been hurt too many times to let a Chase brother into her life–or into her bed. She’s ready for something more. Something she doesn’t think the six-years-younger Marc is ready to give. Until they share a wildly passionate kiss, that is. Then all bets are off.
Knowing he’ll need more than pretty words to break through Liv’s wall of heartbreak, Marc takes the gamble of his life to prove his love: two days away, full of hot sex and bared souls. But will this bet be enough to win her heart forever?
The Chase is on. One small town. Four hot brothers. And enough heat to burn up anyone who dares to get close. Don’t miss the other books in the series: Taking Chase, Giving Chase and Making Chase.

Absolutely love this series!!!
Greatly enjoyed this book. My introduction to the Chase boys definitely left me wanting more-I already one-clicked the first two books. I loved Marc and his wooing of Liv. Those Chase Boys are dangerous when they team up. My only complaint was Liv’s constant focus on the age difference.
You know that moment when you are enjoying a great story… It is steamy, actually sizzling hot and you are afraid it will actually melt your kindle. It is entertaining, you like the characters, it is sweet, adorable, and even cute at times, and you’re just enjoying the ride. And suddenly the speed bump comes and the emotions hit the high road, and instead of smiling and chuckling away you are weeping, and you feel the pain, you feel the confusion, the outrage, the fear, the utter panic, the need to stay the same and while wanting things to chance… Man, color me impressed, because I was not prepared for the emotional onslaught I got towards the second part of the tale when things get real, get genuinely emotional, and there is no escaping or ignoring the work ahead for Marc and Liv and their relationship.
The stories of the Chase Brothers is a rerelease but new to me. I missed the first one, but the two I have read so far has been the perfect mix of meddling family, friends for life, small town living, romances that sweep you off your feet, and the deep emotions that make you remember the stories long afterward. I have been swooning on every second page because when the Chase brothers fall, they fall hard, they fall completely, they are ‘besotted’, and they go after what they want with the determination rarely seen, but none with the perseverance like Marc Chase when he figures out the one for him is Liv Davis.
The relationship developing between Marc and Liv is not easy and the story captures about a year of their lives as they work on their issues while falling hard and deep for each other.
I loved the honesty between all the characters, there were moments that were even a bit awkward because of the brutal honesty every single main character of the story had while fighting for their happiness and trying to clear path for it. The fact that Matt had dated Liv in the past had me a bit nervous at the beginning, as well as the dating Liv did after her and Marc’s attraction flamed. But both of these matters were an intricate part of the character development that needed to happen for Matt, Marc, and Liv, for the tale of the brothers continues.
Despite all the differences Liv tried to see in her and Marc, they are so amazingly perfect together, physically and sexually, umm… YES! But also as friends, partners, companions, and mates.
The last part of the story flooded me with emotions, took me for a ride that I will not forget. Liv and Marc have to go through the ringer to be able to figure out their relationship because even the issues they are fighting against are not what they thought they were.
Blissfully entertaining, sweetly ardent, and emotionally wrecking tale that left me with a teary smile and satisfied sigh of a great love story

This is book three in this series and it gives us Marc and Liv’s story. It is a friends to lovers romance. I love this very entertaining and enjoyable series. Marc is of course an awesome hero. Liv is likable but I can’t say she was my favorite heroine of the series. I could understand her trust issues but at times she was extremely unreasonable and almost shrewish. The secondary characters are wonderful and add so much to this book and series. Momma Chase is a genuine hoot! This is a entertaining read that has a engaging plot. It is well written and keeps your interest well. Can’t wait for book four!
I received an ARC for Chased as it is being rereleased. I honestly didn’t notice any changes in the story from the original, so I’m pretty sure it was just some grammar errors that were changed, but is has been over 4 years since I read it. I enjoyed Chased the first time around, and I enjoyed it again. Marc is the youngest Chase brother, and Liv a friend of the family. Chased was a cute small town romance, that manages to tug on your emotional strings. It does move at a quick pace in some places where there are time jumps of a week or more that could of transitioned better, as is those parts do seem rushed. Over all a good read, and if you are a fan of small town romance, then Chased is for you.
I just had a stimulating and wonderful visit to Petal, Georgia where I met the strong and captivating characters, Marc and Liv where they easily drew me into their rocky and heartfelt romance.
Marc and Liv’s relationship is certainly not typical because Liv has just about given up on a happily ever after and because of her emotional issues keeps sabotaging the relationship that Marc is trying to build between them. The fast to steady paced romance keeps things gripping throughout because the relationship is a bit of a roller coaster ride of on and off again or ups and downs. Because these characters are well developed, readers can easily connect with them and relate to both sides of their story but let me tell you, that there certainly no problem between the sheets of the hot and steamy sexual relationship because their attraction has lots of electrically charged sparks flying from the pages and blazing hot passion to keep things heated. Oh and there are a couple of relationship twists that adds surprise and depth to the story as well as adding a bit of uniqueness to the romance.
Every visit to Petal, Georgia so far has been a wonderful experience and I have really enjoyed getting to know the hot and sexy Chase Brothers so it was no surprise that I enjoyed Marc and Liv’s story. Anyway, I am definitely looking forward to reading Matt’s story, because I really want to know what kind of woman manages to take this brother off the market.
