An Excellent Fast Paced Read that will keep you turning the pages.
Chasin and Evie, I love when he called her Evie, no one else did. She was either Genevieve Ellison, or Vivi Rush, super hot country singer. They met quite by accident, and it was all so romantic, because Chasin didn’t know who she was. Situations sometimes do have a way of going wonky, and boy did they! These two split before the sheets even needed washing, but neither one was happy about it. It’s really quite sad how much parents can screw up their children’s lives, for them to carry it all forward, until hopefully that one special someone is able to dig that crap out permanently. Both Evie and Chasin had world class p.o.s’s for egg/sperm donors. I could feel their insecurities oozing out of the pages, along with their wanting to believe in themselves, and wanting to finally trust another to share their life with, warts and all. Pretty raw feelings right here!
When Vivi’s stalker escalated his stalkerishness into life threatening mode, she needed protection, like yesterday, and lo and behold, but who should be a part of the firm they hired, none other than Chasin, one of the members of the Gemini Group. Something about karma and bites and derrieres lol, yes, both mentally and physically, and the physical was way hot!! MmmMmm
Oh dear, talk about kickin’ up dust, Chasin groveled very nicely, and anyway they had a job to do, protect Vivi Rush and her bff/right hand, Bobby, from the crazed stalker. Very tense situations throughout, and not knowing who it could be was taking it’s toll on everyone.
This storyline was fantastic, a stand alone with it’s own HEA, but much, much better when read with the series, just saying, to get to know all the other hunky heroes more intimately, along with their better halves–if they’ve found them–who are just as lovable.
The dynamics between all the characters are funny, loveable, protective, heartfelt …. exactly like a family.
Their chosen family!
This is my favorite book of the Gemini Series. Love Chasin & Genevieve.
It’s Chasin’s story and it’s one heck of a tale. Having grown up in a very dysfunctional family, Chasin has always valued honesty and fidelity in any relationship. When he meets Genevieve, actually when he fishes her out of the water, they have a whirlwind romantic weekend that surprises them both. Until he hears something that has him dropping her like a hot potato and kicking himself for still wanting her. When she shows up as a client for Gemini Group, things get complicated and heated.
This had so much happening: an identity revealed, a dangerous stalker, spiraling desire, and the super hotness that is the men of Gemini Group. You’ve got to read this one!
Genevieve’s stalker issues are second only to parental issues since she was a child. Same for Chasin, so they understand one another perfectly as far as overcoming them, and learning to open up. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and love the series.
Chasin’s Surrender by Riley Edwards
This the fifth book in her Gemini Group series and frankly I loved how Chasin had no clue who Genevieve was and how famous she is as a country music singer. Totally worth my 5 star rating that I’ve given to this book.

Her best friend Bobby has been by her side through thick and thin and now she’s protecting her from a stalker.

A misunderstanding between the two leaves both heartbroken until Gemini Group who’ll protect her when the threats become dangerous. Can Chasin bring them back together and take down the suspect before it’s too late?

But when her BFF Bobby is taken it will be take everyone at Gemini to save both of the ladies and take down the stalker once and for all.
Both Chasin and Genevieve have issues from their past. Their parents are nightmares. You don’t get to meet Genevieve’s parents, but when you get a to meet Chasin’s, you really want to give them a peace of your mind…. Can’t stand them!
Working though both of their insecurities due to their pasts, they almost lose their chance. But a whole lot of determination and forgiveness goes a long way and showing your vulnerabilities can go a long way…
Laughed so hard at a few places in the book! That girl early in the morning, without coffee is a ball. Bobby her BFF is also one great friend to have. The two together reminds me of someone I used to know. Lots of sneak peaks into future books in this book, if you can catch on. Loved reading it!!! Riley Edwards you rock! Keep writing great books.

I love Chasin and Evie. If Riley Edwards writes it I want to read it. This series has been a trip and I have enjoyed getting to know each of the characters. This is stories I have a hard time not finishing once I start. Chasin and Evie both of a troubled past, troubles with love, commitment and relationships. They will grip you heart from beginning to end. Another great read, I look forward to more.
They met when he “fished” her out of the water when she fell off her dock. There was and instant connection and they spent the next 2 days together, til Chasin overheard Genevieve’s phone conversation and got it completely wrong. She doesn’t give second chances and he doesn’t do cheaters.They both jumped to incorrect conclusions about each other.
He has no idea who she is until his company is hired to guard her and find her stalker. Now all he has to do is find the stalker and convince her they belong together.
Another great book by Riley. I don’t know how she keeps doing it. I received an ARC and this is my honest opinion.
Another Fantastic 5 Star read
I’ve said this a few times and I’ll say it again….I’ve only recently discovered Riley’s books but I am literally devouring them as they are sooooo goodThey are filled with romance, suspense and second chances when the man makes a mistake…because we all know they do

A fabulous story and I’m counting down the days to find out what Charleigh has been trying to tell Holden and why she’s moved closer to him and the guys from Gemini Group
This might be my favorite of the series…Truly loved the story, loved the characters and loved catching up with the others from the Gemini Group. Waiting now for Holden’s book! Thanks for such an engaging story.

Great read as always
Riley Edwards writes amazing stories that grab you right from the beginning. Side bonus is we get to catch up with all the men and their women.
Amazing read! Emotional tale of the woman behind the fame & the man who loves the “real” her
Genevieve Ellison is tired of always being Vivi Rush, the hottest country music star and never being able to let her guard down & just be plain old boring Genevieve. Seeking an escape from the nightmare of Nashville & fame, she retreats to solace of Kent County. She’s overjoyed when she meets Chasin and realizes he’s completely unaware of who she really is. A hot weekend spent between the sheets confirms their undeniable chemistry, but it all goes FUBAR when Chasin allows his emotions to get the best of him when he overhears Genevieve on the phone with someone else. Suddenly, demons & insecurities he’d long thought vanquished rise to the surface and in his heartache, he lashes out at the best thing that’s ever happened to him. Genevieve is equally heartbroken, but makes no move to stand up for herself and lets Chasin leave without argument.
Soon Genevieve learns the nightmare she thought she’d left behind in Nashville has followed her to Kent County. Not only has her stalker followed her, he’s escalated his threats forcing Genevieve to seek protection. The men of Gemini Group are always up to the task and this time is no exception. After eating plenty of crow, Chasin’s given a second chance with Genevieve and he’s determined to make things work. He sees her for who she truly is, calling her “Evie” and continually breaking through her sky high walls of insecurity. Genevieve begins to do the same for Chasin, breaking through his walls and chasing away his demons. She’s determined to fight hard for those she loves, but with the stalker closing in – will it be enough? Do Genevieve & Chasin have a shot at forever or will the pain & difficulty of life split them forever?
There’s a reason why Riley Edwards has become one of my all time favorite authors. The way she evokes such intense emotions & feelings through her words always has me coming back for more. Chasin’s Surrender is no exception. It’s full of heat, heartache and healing with a HEA that will have you sighing contentedly on a book high for several days.

Amazing book by Riley Edwards. She deserves all the accolades she gets. I read it in one sitting and could not put it down. She totally understands the dynamics between women and men. Her character development and storyline could not have been written any better. Don’t miss this one. Very fast paced and captivating with enough angst and heat to keep you turning page after page. One of her best books. Can’t wait for the next story.
Another home run by Riley Edwards. I wish I was better at writing how much I loved this book, but I am at a loss for words. Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly fall in love with another couple and another book, Riley went and proved that it is possible to fall in love over and over again
Well written. Emotional. Not only do you fall in love with the H and the h but with the secondary characters as well. Riley Edwards never disappoints!

Another hit for Riley Edward’s. The love, the time, the moments these two have for each other is something to grab onto and hold. But can they overcome their past lives to realize what they have in front of them? Chasin and Evie have both had a terrible past growing up with parents who really couldn’t give 2 cares about their children. Trust issues plague them both.
Once you start you will not be able to put this one down. It’s a wonderful addition to the Gemini Group Series.
