About this ebook

Previously published; newly refreshed by author

The Chase boys. Ridiculously hot and notoriously single.

When landscaper Kyle Chase takes notice of Maggie Wright, all of Petal, Georgia, wonders what the quiet schoolteacher is hiding underneath her tight bun and boring blouses. Even Maggie doesn’t quite get it, but after a failed relationship and a disastrous attempt to get back out there, she’s no match against the famous Chase charm, and Kyle has it in spades.

Kyle wants Maggie in his life—and in his bed—and he doesn’t mind getting down and dirty to prove it. For years he’s avoided the kind of trouble that comes with “good girls” like her, but Maggie’s the best trouble he’s ever been in. He craves more of it. And more of her.

But even as their love grows into thoughts of forever, a hidden danger from Maggie’s past threatens to tear them apart. And when Maggie suddenly disappears, Kyle must put his faith in his family and race to save the love of his life before he loses her forever.

The Chase is on. One small town. Four hot brothers. And enough heat to burn up anyone who dares to get close. Don’t miss the next books: Taking Chase, Chased and Making Chase.

Ratings and reviews

Giving Chase was a great 5 star read. Maggie hasn’t had it easy growing up. Her mother and sister are terrible people and were always cutting her down. Even through this she is a strong woman with a great personality and manners and has gotten a degree in teaching. Maggie had tried dating Alex who turned mean and possessive very quickly. After putting an end to the dates with Alex Maggie is shocked when one of the Chase men shows interest in her. Unfortunately he wasn’t ready for commitment and stopped calling, which left the door open for his brother Kyle to swoop in and share his feelings with Maggie. Kyle was so good to Maggie and the Chase family were so welcoming to her. I loved their mom, Polly and all the other secondary characters. The way the family stood up for her just made me teary eyed and happy for Maggie. There are several issues that these two have to deal with but we do get to see a HEA. I can’t wait to read the rest of the Chase brothers stories. This was a great start to the series. Lauren Dane has done a great job of pulling me right in and I couldn’t stop until I was done. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book. Reviewed by MAustin from Alpha Book Club

Giving Chase is an emotionally gripping tale full of suspense and with some interesting romantic twists that adds some spice to the story. This story has wonderful, compelling characters that pull readers into the story with a sweet romance that is interesting and different and emotional issues that readers can relate to and understand. Kyle and Maggie have some magical and electrifying chemistry that has sparks flying in every direction and the supporting characters are just as wonderful and attention grabbing as the hero and heroine which ensures that I will definitely be getting to know all the Chase Brothers and their family and friends. The story also brings some of the suspenseful and dangerous twists in the dating game to life with keeps readers on the edge of their seats and building suspense while the couple try to work out their happily ever after in this fast paced story. Lauren Dane certainly has a gift for making her characters lifelike with real characteristics and issues that make it easy for the readers to feel as if they really know the characters and are part of the story and the Chase Brothers are some sexy brothers that I sure don’t mind getting to know, in fact I want to know where I can find one of my own. LOL! Oh well, since I don’t see that happening anytime soon, I will just be happily awaiting the release of the next Chase Brothers book.

A sweet romance between the nerdy high school teacher and one (or two) of the four gorgeous Chase brothers. Giving Chase by Lauren Dane is the first in the Chase Brothers series and this newly refreshed version has me anxious to read more of the series. Maggie is a high school history teacher with limited experience with the opposite sex and low self esteem. Her best friend gives her a makeover and suddenly she is noticed by the formerly oblivious men of Petal. Shane Chase was her high school crush and dating him is a dream come true, but a bad breakup has turned him into a jerk. After humiliating Maggie and parading other women in front of her, his brother Kyle Chase steps right in to pick up the pieces of Maggie’s broken heart. Kyle Chase is a landscaper with a heart of gold. He didn’t think he was ready for a permanent relationship, but when he saw Maggie for the first time it changed his mind. But his brother asked her out first. Once Kyle saw that Shane had moved on, he took a chance and asked Maggie out. I didn’t like the whole brother vs. brother dynamic in this book. I felt the story could have been just as good if Maggie never went out with Shane. I didn’t like that Kyle and Shane brought it up throughout the book. Let it go! Aside from the whole brother thing, this is a sweet romance with a bit of suspense tied in. I love getting to know the Chase family and I think you will too. Maggie and Kyle are a cute couple who get a heartwarming HEA. 4 stars
