With him, there’s no faking anything…
Ethan Chase isn’t interested in dating. After losing the woman he loved more than life itself, he’d much rather ride solo, but his family is dead set on fixing him up. To get them off his back, he hooks up with ultra-adventurous, ultra-temporary adventure photographer, Rue Campbell. All he has to do is survive three weeks in her orbit and he’ll be single … orbit and he’ll be single again, only without the pitying looks and pressure to move on.
Rue is literally counting the days until her plane leaves New York City. The last thing she wants is a relationship, but being Ethan’s pretend girlfriend can’t hurt, right? Wrong. With Ethan, there’s no faking anything–in or out of the bedroom. With the sheets burning hot and the clock ticking on their arrangement, Rue realizes she’s falling for a man guaranteed to derail her goals…and break her heart.
Each book in the Chase Brothers series is a standalone, full-length story that can be enjoyed out of order.

3.5, bumped to 4, Electric green eyes and a body that would make a nun sob for sweet relief stars. This one is better than book two; this series tends to do that with each book. It’s a cute, quick and somewhat quirky read. The plot has been used many times before but there are a few fresh twists in this one. There’s lots of fun and witty banter between characters, just like there has been in this entire series. There’s also plenty of snark.
Ethan is the #3 brother, married his high school sweetheart, she died, and he’s been existing ever since. Rue is bound for wandering and about to take off for anywhere but NYC. Their attraction has an expiration date, which is really the main attraction anyway. They come to an agreement that is mutually beneficial and the story takes off from there. There is a lot packed into this book and it’s all fun.
I’ve been through the entire Chase Brothers series. I love Rue and Ethan… Ethan has been teased through the earlier books in this series and it was great to finally get his story. Rue is the perfect foil for him and I love Ballance’s smooth style and perfectly imperfect characters. This is a great read!
Though Ethan’s wife has passed away, he still considers himself married. That wasn’t a problem until he meets Rue. But she’s a risk-taker and he’s not to become attached to someone he might lose. This book is steamy, but I loved the conflict between the characters and couldn’t put it down. Also, a great book for puppy and kitty lovers.
Ethan Chase is trying to channel his inner hermit, and just live a life of solitary confinement for a while, but his family refuses to let him go there. They are worried about him, for good reason, and are certain all he needs is to find the right girl, so they are determined to find her for him, and are constantly trying to fix him up… and Ethan is fed up with it. So, when the opportunity to have a fake three week relationship with a complete stranger comes into play, he jumps at the chance, and thinks it will be the perfect way to get his family out of his business, and stop their incessant need to set him up. He can handle spending three weeks with a beautiful stranger right??
Rue Campbell is a nomad of sorts, she likes to travel, and isn’t too keen on sticking in once place for very long, which pretty much puts a damper on having any kind of a long term relationship… and she is totally okay with that! Relationships just aren’t her thing, and being tied down just isn’t an option she is willing to consider, she would much rather keep her romantic entanglements on a one night basis… but when one night with Ethan Chase just isn’t enough and it turns into the best three weeks of her life, it has her reconsidering her no strings attached rule!
This uniquely crafted pair pulled me into their world right from the start, and kept me their long after the last page was turned. Their story was brimming with emotion, humor, and lots of heart, and Ethan had me smiling and swooning the whole way through!! This turned out to be a very enjoyable and highly entertaining read for me and I think it is one everyone should add to the top of their reading lists, I promise it will leave you with a happy heart!!
