I’m in hiding. My face is all over social media with a trending hashtag #. All because I’ve piqued the interest of Mr. Manhattan. But it’ll take a lot more than deep pockets, penthouses overlooking Central Park, and six-pack abs to make me fall. I’m not an airhead who nibbles on lettuce cups all day. I’m a fiery hot-blooded Latina and no one messes with me.Rafe…I made the cover of FORBES … me.
Rafe…
I made the cover of FORBES Magazine.
Twice.
I’m loaded.
Bilingual.
But I’m hiding a dark secret. A pain that never goes away. The only people who ever truly loved me are dead and gone. Sure, I might have millions but it can’t buy me love.
Then fate brings me Selina. She’s a fiery, hot-blooded Latina. With curves.
Bilingual.
I thought we were speaking the same language, but she cut and run. She turned me down. Avoids my calls. Ignores my texts.
It’s almost comedic that me–the most eligible billionaire in Manhattan can’t lock this girl down. Who knew a down on her luck dog walker could be my happily ever after? But first I need to find where she’s hiding.
NOTE: This is a standalone full-length, standalone novel.more
I was looking forward to reading this book but I ended up not liking it as much as I wanted to.
It felt rushed and had too many side storylines. So instead of focusing on relationship between Rafe and Selina, the story was just all over the place.
I was also expecting much more BDSM and D/s scenes, but it was pretty tame.
In the end, Roque Salvatore kind of stole the show for me and I can’t wait for his book!

Who doesn’t like a man who chases you?! Selina is a sassy little thing and Rafe has to work harder than ever to gain her attention due to his playboy reputation. If you had a proverbial bad boy vying for you attention, would you give in right away? I loved the banter between Rafael and Selina! She doesn’t care how wealthy he is or who his mafia friends are, it’s all on her terms, or so she thinks! The story is fast paced and leaves you wanting more. This book is a stand alone, but has characters from other books intertwined and is a set up for Roque’s story (omg can’t wait!). Definitely worth the read!
This was a suspenseful and enjoyable ride with a very dominant man determined to have a young woman as part of his life. I loved that she wasn’t a pushover and was someone I could root for in the face of his dominant forcefulness. There is suspense, drama, betrayal, deceit, fear, lust and love in this amazing book. The story is fast paced and the characters are very interesting with appalling, somewhat chauvinistic attitudes that are so over the top, it was humorous. Even with all of the drama, I found myself laughing at the high handed methods used by the main character in completing his goal. The scenes between the two main characters were exhilarating and set the tone for the wild ride the author takes us on when reading this book. Well done. Recommend
I thought that Rafe and Selina’s complicated dance of attraction and witty barbs was exciting and entertaining. Both these characters were complex and and appealing. Selina was fiery, fierce and I thought, fantastic! What she wasn’t was a fool, so there was no way she was just going to fall at Rafe’s feet the minute he snapped his fingers. Rafe was very rich and hot. A powerful combo that he is well aware of and freely uses to his advantage. Their cat and mouse game of love had me hooked from the start and I enjoyed every single minute of it.
Hold onto your panties girls. Jax Hart did it again. His strong dominant males are mouthwateringly sinful. I couldn’t figure out if I like Roque, Johnny or Rafe the best. Ok, you got me. I loved Rafe. Roque has a story just dying to be read. Other than a few typos towards the end this is a somewhat soulful read. Loved the letters to his mama.

I have just finished reading this book and I must say it was a corker! Loved the tortured character of Rafael and his pursuit of Selina. A great character she is. Full of spunk even though she had suffered insecurities. Together they are two sides of the same coin. Plenty of action and not all of it nice. Mafia, FBI, all come into this very intriguing story. Glad to see other characters (Roque) having his own book coming soon and from what I have read about him and his character in this book, that should also be a rattling good read. I did not really want this book to end and was hoping for an epilogue but when the next book comes out I hope I get to see them again. A highly recommended read.

This is a dark and unique story, which has a rich billionaire Rafael who is used to getting what her wants, and an independent Salina, a Latina, who is just as determined not to become another notch on his headboard. I loved the witty banter between all of the characters, and how Salina certainly made Rafe work for her attention. This is a well written story which is raw, gritty, and with an unexpected twist, which had me hooked and intrigued throughout. I recommend for all, and look forward to reading more from this talented author.
I found Mr. Hart a short time ago, and I’m sure glad I did. His dark romances are down right dirty! He stirs emotion after emotion. His characters are deep and colorful. I have a very hard time putting down anything he has written. Selina is not one of the ladies who just falls at Rafe’s feet because he’s rich and to die for gorgeous! Hmmm, is that what does it for Rafe? Because Selina doesn’t want him, he must have her? I just loved this story!
Rafael is hard, determined and unbending. Selina is feisty, independent, and out spoken. Their dark romance puts the reader through the emotional wringer. Their spark is instantaneous. She ignites his fire within but all she wants is to see him burn. This story is steamy and addictive and I love the character crossover from Jax Hart’s Creed MC series.
I am voluntarily writing this review for this book I received through Booksprouts arc.
Rafael planned kidnapping to get Selina in his arms. Selina bumps into Rafael and spills coffee all over him. She knew who he was when she lifted her head it was Mr.Douche (Rafael) of Wall Street the notorious womanizer. He knew he had to find out who she was and it just so happened he saw her flyer in his apartment building. Rafael cannot get his mind off Selina he knew it would take some time to get to her. They run into each other again on the street when he was going to buying a hotdog. He had decided to text her and ask her out she text back “NO” and lose her number. He winds up going to her house and laid some smooth talk she told him to leave. Rafael was playing this little game with her and trying to make her jealous but, all he did was prove her right about him. Twist, turns, kidnapping, murder and mayhem keeps you on your toes.
Wow what a dark read that will have you on the edge of you seat and wanting the alpha male that will take you on amazing dark twisted ride of steamy sex and love that is hard to fall for. This is a must read series that cant wait for the next book in this series.
Jax really knows how to keep us wanting more and this book gave us just that. Rae and Selina give us that love/hate relationship that we love to watch grow into something so powerful and magical that we need to read all the way to the end. When you get the mob involved it makes it more action packed, adrenaline filled and explosive. This is my opinion in one of the best books I’ve read by Jax. Keep this series going. A must read. I give it 5 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader’s Copy
This was my first Jax Hart read and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The Chase was the perfect name for this book. Rafe and Selina are explosive and I loved reading their story. Rafe is very domineering and he meets his match with feisty Selina even though they are from two different sides of the proverbial coin! This slow burn hype leads to some fiery chemistry and steamy scenes that will hold your attention from beginning to end! Definitely won’t be my last Jax Hart read!
Amazing and different kind of story. It’s well written and will keep your attention. It will also mak you want a certain other character’s story. It a book full of surprises.
Wow! What an exhilarating read from an extremely talented author. This book has it all my favourites being the scintillating chemistry, fiery, clashing tempers, deep rooted fears of being alone and let’s not forget the totally hot sex! Rafe and Selina are simply made for each other! Even if Selina takes some persuading. I loved the whole cat and mouse aspect of The Chase. Although Selina is by far the least “mousiest” person I have come across, not exactly a text book submissive but is that what Rafe really needs? This was a sit and read till it’s done book for me and I ate up every word like a starving puppy. Oh, Mr Pickles … I fell in love with you too! I can’t recommend The Chase enough. Every Jax Hart book I read I always want the next one – immediately! I cannot wait for Roque’s story. An absolutely amazing book! Thank you Mr Hart! 5 stars given.
OMG!! I read this book in one sitting and was still wanting more! Rafe is so alpha, so sexy and perfectly dark. Selina is the moon to his sun. She is feisty, sultry and passionately submissive. They are broken, lonely, and oh so perfect for each other. I never know what to expect with Jax Hart’s books but I am always guaranteed one hell of a wild ride and this book did not disappoint. This book had my pulse pounding while I second guessed everyone’s motives. One surprise after another, this book kept me turning pages until the very end! As with any Jax Hart book, you need this book in your life!
This book is pure brilliance! Selina is an independent, intelligent and feisty heroine. Rafe is arrogant, sexy, and a player. Together they are absolutely perfect for each other and you have the recipe for a great read. This story had so many complex layers. I enjoyed the intensity and the fact that there was never a lull. The chemistry and steam between the characters is on point. It was a slow burn, dark, gritty romance that certainly forced me to take moments and simply breath. Jax Hart’s writing is superb and extremely evocative and 5 stars does not even come close to what this book deserves! This book was all consuming from beginning to the very end and it exceeded all my expectations. GET READY IT’S A HOT ONE!
Trigger warning: the author let it be known that this book was dark, that Rafe was dark. It contains only consensual sex and it wasn’t too dark for me. *fist pump*
What worked for me:
-the slow burn build up is steamy
-our main gal is fiesty and brutally honest
-our main guy is brooding and mysterious and pretty great underneath it all
-the steamy scenes were awesome
-I loved the world Rafe and his friends created in NYC
-I want more…please

The Chase by Jax Hart is the story of Rafael and Salina.
Jax is a dark man who is used to getting things or people he wants…no one says no to him. But there is a spark or something missing in his life that he can’t put his finger on really. Salina is a hardworking and strong women who happens to literately run into Jax one day. Jax gives her a proposition to get what he wants…her. Salina is attracted to Jax but she knows his type so she turns him down. Which of course leads Jax on a chase to claim what is his.
This may be a dark romance read for some but for me it was a page turner. I hope to read more from this author in the future.
Jax took me on such a crazy caravan with Selina and Rafe. Selina is such a spitfire and the master at hard to get.
Rafael is used to getting what he wants. When a woman spills her coffee on your custom suit and puts you in your place. The Chase is on.
These two have the kind of pull that no tractor could compete with. They will make you laugh, sigh, swoon and need to buy new running shoes to keep up with them.
A brilliant, dark masterpiece. Loved it!!!!
