Crystal Cove’s small town charm is what most people love about it.Brady Lowe sure loves it. He is about as small town as you get. Brady’s content running his dad’s construction company, eating at the diner every Thursday, and taking home a local lady from his sister’s bar when he has an itch to scratch. Brady scratches that itch just fine, until Glory Falcone blows into town. Glory is mouthy, … mouthy, smart, and hotter than June in Crystal Cove and Brady knows she’s the one he’s been waiting for.
Glory gets as far as her jeep will take her; it just so happens to be cute, idyllic Crystal Cove. It also just so happens to have Brady Lowe as it’s welcoming committee. Glory doesn’t exactly believe in happily ever afters, not after the “after’s” she’s had. At least she didn’t. Not until Brady Lowe’s determined ways, crooked smile and home town charm make her want for more.

Crystal Cove is a town I can undoubtedly see myself visiting and even taking a permanent residence in. Everyone we meet is gives off those arms wide open vibes and you instantly feel welcomed. When Glory unexpectedly finds herself in a diner it’s not long before she’s introduced to Brady. The electricity between these two is full force the instant a conversation is stuck and me swooning over Brady right along side Glory. Brady is so much more then what meets the eye. As we go further along we see this man go down paths and embrace feelings he’s never expressed before. I was glued to my kindle especially when they give into those primal urges. Of course being in Crystal Cove we come across fellow residents and if you’ve read Dee Ellis’s other books you’ll be smiling so wide learning what’s been going on with everyone. You can read this as a standalone but I highly recommend grabbing the entire series and open your heart to this town & all the people just as I have. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.
Chasing Glory is book three in the Crystal Cove Holidays series by Dee Ellis. I’ve had this series for awhile and am reading each book at the appropriate holiday. It’s time for the Fourth of July, so it is time to meet Brady and Glory. And to go back to the town I’ve grown to love so much, Crystal Cove.
Brady Lowe has lived in the small town of Crystal Cove all his life, along with his twin sister and parents. He runs his dad’s construction business and loves his life. He has seen his friends finding true love but doesn’t know if that is in his future or not. He’s never had the urge to settle down. He has a handful of local women he occasionally dates but it’s all just casual. But then she walked in to the diner. The girl who stole his breath away. Brady never really thought about whether he believed in love at first sight or not. But if it does exist, could that be what he is feeling?
“This, what this girl is making me feel, it doesn’t make sense. And still I want it.
Glory Falcone is ex-military and is drifting from town to town, where ever her car leads her, until it gives out just outside of a tiny town called Crystal Cove. When she walked in to that diner, she was immediately drawn to Brady and his sexy smile. Could it be that her car quit on her here for a reason? Maybe this is the place she is meant to stay?
“You were coming here to find me. You just didn’t know it yet.”
Brady falls hard and fast. He can see a future with Glory he didn’t even know he wanted. But now, he wants it all. He’ll do whatever he has to do to convince her to stay. To want a future in his little town, with him.
“Glory could be the girl I’ve waited for. And I could be the reason for her to stay in Crystal Cove. It could make sense. Now I need to convince us both.”
This was short, sweet, swoony, and sexy. All my favorite “S” words. Brady gave his heart to Glory. Now the question is, will she take it and cherish it, or will she break it.
The last book in this series is called Tricky Treats and is Brady’s twin sister, Aria’s story. I might not be able to wait all the way to Halloween to read it though.
Finally finding what they’ve been looking for
Brady and Glory are just too much for mere words. I’ve loved each story up to now but I think this one is my favorite so far. We’ll see if it holds true by the time I’m done. At one point my heart fell on the floor. Thankfully, Dee Ellis picked it up, dusted it off and put it back in my chest by the end. Wonderful story.
5 Stars to Chasing Glory (Crystal Cove Holidays #3) by Dee Ellis
Brady Lowe and Glory Falcone…….
The quaint town of Crystal Cove gifts another couple with a happily ever after. Chasing Glory is a sweet, sexy, steamy story featuring an over-the-top possessive male character and his soulmate. This book is the third installment in this series and I adored each one! The men in Crystal Cove are so easy to fall in love with. You will be helpless to their charms.
Brady was an amazing hero! As a person, I thought he was loyal, loving, sexy, sinful and so over-the-top possessive when it came to Glory. However, Glory is a strong character and made Brady work for it. From the very first moment Brady locked eyes on Glory, he was hit with that proverbial arrow through the heart. Of course there was also lust at first sight. 😉 Brady wanted Glory immediately but not only for physical gratification. He felt a strong pull. a connection that he was helpless to ignore. Brady is not a relationship type of man. Tho that attitude changes quickly once he meets Glory.
Glory was simply driving aimlessly; her car packed with her life. She was searching for something unforeseen. When her car decides to break down in Crystal Cove, Glory finds her heart wanting not only Brady, but the quaint, friendly town is easy to love as well. Their relationship develops quickly but not without some angst and an unexpected twist.
I’ll say this again, Brady was so easy to fall in love with. In fact, Crystal Cove depicts love and romance, with passion and the sigh-worthy happily ever after. All three books in this series are short, intimate, sexy and sweet reads. Although they can each be read as a standalone, I suggest to grab all three: Snow Angel, Stupid Cupid & Chasing Glory. Not only will you fall in love with the sweet town, the characters will find a permanent place in you hearts.
