Chase (Resisting love Book 1)

---

Chase isn't giving up and will do anything to prove Layla he is worthy of her love. I'm not going to blindly just give you that power again. I can't even explain it. I knew it then, and I know it now. Or will the final secret distroy everything between them? I really enjoyed this. Steam factor wasn't smoking hot, but still slightly steamy. I loved Chase hahaha he was total Alpha! When she locked him out and he was about to drill the door off… Hahhah so funny! I just want to… I was surprised this was set in Australia.

Normally I can pick it up, being an Aussie and all, but I didn't until Sydney was referenced. I was pleasantly surprised. I loved James and Kade. I loved their friendship with Layla. I can't wait for the next in the series. May 01, Tee loves Kyle Jacobson rated it it was amazing Shelves: Oh where oh where to begin for this review Okay I want to curse some more but I will refrain from doing that. My God I have never read a book so dam funny and full of roller coaster emotions. One minute I would be laughing and the next minute I would get pissed off because some people just don't get it when they are not wanted so they try and ruin things for others.

But let me tell you Chase and his brothers are Greek Sex God's because man oh man these boys Oh where oh where to begin for this review But let me tell you Chase and his brothers are Greek Sex God's because man oh man these boys are hot as hell but they also protect what is theirs and they are very fierce in protecting Layla. Chase Jackson is a player and a business man. He is gorgeous and he knows it.

He does not do relationships but instead ops for one night stands and he is very up front and honest with the women when he picks them up. They know the drill it is chew and screw and then goodbye. He never does a girl twice is his motto until he is at a party and sees a beautiful girl. His heart starts racing and he is so entranced and enthralled by her he can not keep his eyes off of her. Only one small problem the girl he is looking at is his best friends cousin and Ryder is not having any off that and he makes Chase promise to stay away from his cousin. Chase does but still keeps watching the girl from across the party.

Chase knows if she looks his way he will break his promise but Ryder doesn't give him that chance because Ryder tells them it's time to leave the party. So Chase leaves behind the girl that has made his heart wake up. Fast forward some time and Chase is in a club with all these girls surrounding him and he is on the prowl for his next girl when he spots her the girl from the party a while ago Ryder's cousin.

He knows he has to have her but he is not sure if she will even look at him because he has all these girls all over him. But then the unthinkable happens and she looks at him and smiles and Chase loses his shit and pursues her. Layla and her best Nikki are out celebrating Layla finding an apartment near her college. They go to the club ready to party like no one's business when Layla and Nikki spot this gorgeous guy across the room.

Nikki realizes he is staring at Layla and tells Layla to look and when she does her breath is caught in her throat because this guy is finer than any guy she has ever meet. As Layla and the stranger look at each other Layla knows she is in trouble.

Chase (Resisting Love, #1)

Chase approaches her and they go off. They share on kiss and Chase is a goner and so is Layla. This is where the story gets good so dam good that I will not ruin it for you but I will say this. Chase will have to work very hard to get Layla because his past will come back full force to haunt him and Layla will have to read through the bullshit to see what is true and what is not. Jealous women can be bitches and she is going to have to stand by the man she loves.

Chase has never done this whole relationship thing before and he wants it bad so badly he is willing to do whatever it takes to have his Layla. Will Chase be able to get Layla? Will Layla be able to deal with the craziness that comes with Chase? Plus you will need some ice cubes to cool you off or just the beach water because this book is hotter than hell! May 10, A. You know, I thought this would be a perfect 3. I'm just not the type of reader who falls for a manwhore character, and this book had plenty of them.

The whole sharing the girls thing was just However - Kade and James. I love the way the authors sort of set up all these secondary characters - they made you love them, throwing bits an You know, I thought this would be a perfect 3. I love the way the authors sort of set up all these secondary characters - they made you love them, throwing bits and pieces of their stories in but not making it about them. I really really loved James and I barely know anything about him! Actually, maybe that's why I thought Layla and Chase had good chemistry.

It's a bit of an insta-love, but not really because of the way they set it up. They compliment each other really well, and I thought that it was believable he would change for her - by the end of the book the poor guy was just plain whipped. Truth be told, I kind of spent the book hating on him. I love my alpha male hero but he was just I did learn to love him by the end because I understood him better.

The heroine is strong willed and snarky, though a virginal one. I found myself interested in Nikki and Sasha's stories as well, and even the wicked witch that is Aubrey. Seriously, she's a psycho. There are a couple of mildly graphic sex scenes in the book, and a lot of cursing. A couple of things that bothered me were just a brief switch of POV now and again, many, many typos that sort of distracted me from the story.

The beginning felt a little rushed. And since this is a debut novel I'm expecting a lot more from Kade. View all 5 comments. Aug 09, Victoria rated it it was ok Shelves: I really thought I was going to like this one. I mean I pretty much go crazy for rich, entitled, bossy leading men. I'm an easy sell! That being said, I should have been in heaven with Chase. Unfortunately, a major turn off for me is what I have started calling "manufactured drama". If you don't know what I'm talking about, here are some examples: That means if you have a new girlfriend and you already hav Well, shoot.

That means if you have a new girlfriend and you already have a bad reputation and alot to prove, you don't let girls sit in your lap. You don't let ex-girlfriends sleep in your bed. You don't let ex-girlfriends close enough to grab you and suck face with you on more than one occasion. You don't keep major secrets that are bound to come out. You don't hang out at topless bars. You don't have crazy ass parties. You don't take girlfriend to toxic parents house so he can make her feel like nothing. Manufactured drama causes all kind of angst that would have been very easy to avoid.

Unfortunately, thats all this book was. The story would go to one situation that could have been avoided to the next sitation that could have been avoided and on and on and on. The characters made nothing but bad decisions which were driven by extreme immaturity. It's disappointing because I actually liked the chemistry between Layla and the brothers alot. I thought it was very sweet how they were protective of her and enjoyed reading about the time they spent together.

I know I'm in the minority by not liking this book but honestly, I barely could finish it I'm going to save myself a headache though as well as some disappointment and skip reading anything else in this series.

Sep 14, Bookloverme rated it it was amazing. I had this series for months and I don't know why I didn't read them immediately because once I started reading the first book, I love it already and continued to read the series. The books were wonderfully written from start to finish.

And I read her other books too. Waiting for her next book. Sep 15, Fre06 Begum rated it liked it. Def my fave book in the series I really liked both Chase and Layla. May 29, B. Love rated it really liked it. I like my book men crazy possessive, jealous, stalkerish, determined, and willing to do anything and everything for their girl.

Boy oh boy did this book fit the bill Chase is insane with jealousy toward anyone who so much as looks at Layla even his brothers who love Layla like a sister. Is he stalkerish oh yeah he is, and he's crazy in love with Layla.

Layla was strong but not manly strong and she wasn't taking crap from other woman who wanted Chase or from Chase when he did something wrong. Was this book perfect no I wanted to strangle Chase for keeping so much from Layla ugh when will these book people learn they are only causing themselves more problem and me heart palpitations.

James and his brother Kade live together with the owner of the house, and Layla and the brothers soon become friends. One night while Layla is out with her best Friend Nikki she see's a man who can't take his eyes off of her even though he has woman all around him vying for his attention.

So I really loved this book, it took me a minute to get into the writing style of Chantal Fernando and Dawn Martens but I really enjoyed it once I did, she wrote so well I wanted to reach into my kindle and strangle someone yes a woman shaking my head and hit Chase upside his head for causing more problems with his secrets ugh.

The relationship that the three brothers had and that Layla had with James and Kade was awesome and I loved reading all of their interactions, Nikki was a great friend who loved Layla and wanted her happiness more than anything. Chantal and Dawn do a great job setting up book two, and I am very excited to read not only book two but any other books in this series.

I seem to be finding more and more authors who aren't jumping on the never ending series with the same main characters band wagon and that makes me happy to no end. This is yet another reason why I love my kindle, I'm a gadget junkie but my kindle is my baby I never leave him at home he goes where I go, and it's because I never would have found fantastic authors like Chantal Fernando and Dawn Martens, they are what is right with self publishing.

Apr 25, Skye Burling-Briggs rated it it was amazing Shelves: I devoured it in one sitting. Chantal sent it to me tonight and I just had a 'peak' before bed I fell in love with Chase.

They remind me of a cross between the 'Anderson brothers' from ' Saving Grace ' by J. Without giving to much away, I was a little annoyed at the way Layla reacted when she came home early to find the boys having a party. He didn't know about the girl, he was outside!!! I wish she just got her shit together sooner!! It seamed to drag a bit. I did however LOVE the strip club scene!!

I always love love love to read the other side of a big scene of a book!! I looked up' Wait for you' Elliot Yamin after chase sung it to Layla at karaoke and cried even harder then I did while reading that particular part! When Aubrey drop the bomb , god my heart went out to chase! What a spiteful little cow!! I was wondering if it was daddy or granddaddy at the time.

It was later reviled I laughed. I giggled like a school girl. I fell in love with these characters so easily! The story just flowed effortlessly and before I knew it , it was over. Now I'm very Anxious for more! I'm pretty sure my mouth is hanging open. Thank you ladies, this is now in my favourite list: Apr 19, Tenielle rated it really liked it. Before anyone reads my review, I think it's important that I point out two biases I have: I'm Chantal Fernando's favourite sister; and 2.

I have a special loathing for the contemporary romance genre That being said, I'm genuinely pleased, and rather shocked, that I enjoyed Chase. It's an easy read - no superfluous language or ridiculously detailed descriptions. The novel is straight forward, but doesn't neglect to develop the characters. Each character is a clear individual - they have manneri Before anyone reads my review, I think it's important that I point out two biases I have: Each character is a clear individual - they have mannerisms, habits and a way of talking that is uniquely theirs.

I think the characterisation in Chase is one of it's strongest points. Granted, the characters are, at times, dramatic and overbearing hello, psychotic tendencies expressed by Chase and Aubrey! Everyone knows how consuming, enthralling and obsessive a first, strong love can be. It's intense, and so is this book! Sep 22, Sharon Mariampillai rated it it was amazing Shelves: Thank you SJ for recommending this book to me.

This was a fantastic read. The story was intriguing and sweet. I found myself in Layla in many ways.

Stranger in My Arms

We are both Sri Lankan, and we both love reading. She was feisty yet sweet. I love the way she was describes. I especially love how she defends herself. She is not someone to mess with. Also, there is Chase. He is gorgeous and perfect.

If I can get a man like him, I would not mind. A plus is the fact that he cooks for Layla. There were times when I f Thank you SJ for recommending this book to me. There were times when I felt like strangling him, but I still loved him. The brothers, Kage and James add too the hotness factor and I can't wait to read their books.

Also, this book had a whole lot of drama. It was interesting to see how changed Chase is because of Layla.

Chase (Resisting Love, #1) by Dawn Martens | LibraryThing

I really liked how he made up for his faults. Another plus is the man can sing. Overall, an amazing read. Jun 17, Stephanie rated it it was ok Shelves: This is a 2 star read for me because the writing needs a lot of work and there are ridiculous grammatical errors throughout the book. However, this is not enough to stop me from reading the planned sequels because I absolutely love Kade and James and their relationship with Layla. Book added to the bookshelf Ok. Something went wrong and the book couldn't be added to the bookshelf.
