Everything Emma Thompson owns fits in a suitcase she moves from one roach infested motel to another. She and Jake, her five-year-old son who can see the future, are running from the men intent on taking him. Emma will do anything to protect him even when it means accepting the help of a stranger named Will. Jake insists she needs Will, but Emma’s never needed help before. And even though she’s … learned to trust her son, it doesn’t mean she trusts Will.
Mercenary Will Davenport lives in the moment. Hauling Emma to South Dakota should have been an easy job, but his employer neglected to tell him about Emma’s freaky son and the gunmen hot on her trail. Instinct tells him this job is trouble, but nothing can prepare him for Jake’s proclamation that Will is The Chosen One, who must protect Emma from the men hunting her power. A power she doesn’t know she has.
Will protects Emma and Jake on a cross-country chase from the men pursuing them, while struggling with memories from his past, his apprehension of Jake, and his growing attraction to Emma. Will’s overwhelming urge to protect Emma surprises him, especially since it has nothing to do with his paycheck and possibly everything to do with the tattoo Jake branded on his arm. Rich and powerful men are desperate to capture Emma, and Will must discover why before it’s too late.

Such a major kickstart from the beginning of the book. If you are not sure if you will like this book just give the first chapter a try. Immediately you will be hooked where you want to do nothing else but read.
Going into this book I wasn’t sure what to expect. I knew by the reviews and who the author is that it was really good but it was …
This is definitely not my normal genre, but I loved everything else I’ve read by Denise and decided to try it. I am pleasantly surprised and already working on book 2.

I read the blurb for this book and thought I wouldn’t like it. I was so wrong. As soon as you start reading, I love how it makes you try work out why it’s all happening and how she listens to her son’s suggestions without hesitation. Such a great story. You would not guess what ends up happening. Great characters, great story line which makes you …
This is the second series I am reading by Denise. I wasn’t sure what to expect because I’m not really into this genre. Psht! I’m so glad I decided to start reading this series. Hells bells. This book has twists that kept me on the edge of my seat. I kept turning page after page not wanting to stop because it was just so good! I love the …
I’ll be the first to admit, when I first picked up Chosen, I was extremely hesitant. Adult urban fantasy? What does that even MEAN? (Spoiler: I still don’t actually know) But I love Denise Grover Swank and really wanted to explore her writing outside of Rose Gardner, so I decided to give Chosen a try.
I AM SO GLAD I DID! CHOSEN WAS AMAZING! …
This is the very first book I read by Denise. I loved it and couldn’t put it down. I Then went on to the rest in about a week I had read the whole series. This book I felt for Emma. As a mom with normal everyday problems I don’t know how she has made it this long with everything she has been through. Her sweet boy Jake. Such a grown up in a little …
I will start off by saying that isn’t typically my kind of book. But since I’ve loved everything else I’ve read by this author I thought I would give this urban fantasy book a go. I was surprised how much I enjoyed this first book in the Chosen series. I really like the dynamic between Emma and Will. On the run with her five year old son Jake, …
I went in completely blind into this book. I knew it wasn’t going to be my normal type of book. I was not disappointed. Emma and Will’s chemistry! I love it! I cannot wait to see what will be in store for both of them throughout the remaining 3 books in this series. Urban fantasy, umm yes please! I couldn’t stop reading, I can’t read the short …
I suppose my aging process has changed a few things in how I review certain books. And perhaps what I will complain about is standard fare for most non-fiction stories, but it would be brilliant to find an author who can put together a riveting story without having the main characters screwing, with a steamy description of said acts supposedly …
I liked this book and look forward to finishing the series.
I didn’t like Jake dying & too many unanswered questions
Audiobook version:
This author was new to me and I must say, I was very pleased! I was pulled into the story from the beginning. The characters were intriguing and easy to connect with. I felt that the author did a great job of parceling out information at the right speed to keep you hooked but still guessing. I can’t wait to hear more!
The …
Intriguing…
I really enjoyed this book and once I got more than 50% of the way through I couldn’t put it down. I was hooked. I was left with more questions than what were answered. I can’t help but worry for what is to come next for Will, Emma, and Jake. I was heartbroken for Emma at one point as things unfold. Prophecies are revealed and bonds …
I am enjoying this set of books. Chosen is just the first one. They are fast paced and easy going.
I was unsure about this book at first, but I quickly changed my mind! This book grabbed my attention quickly and didn’t let go! I love the strong character of Emma and how she will do anything possible, and sometimes impossible, to protect her son. I was skeptical at first of Will but he proves himself worthy of Emma and her son Jake. This book is …
Loved this book and had to get the next 3 books in the series. Could not put it down.
An interesting story concept which is well told. There are some portions which would improve through editing which is why the four stars but overall a good read.
Interesting book, sometimes hard to follow. The main characters are all likable but it does end on a cliff hanger
It’s the beginning of a good story but clearly written to hook me into buying the next book in the series.
This book got me hooked, I had to read all in the series.
