Honestly I don’t know if any other MMC will ever top Chase Carter for me.

I couldn’t get enough of this book!! I requested it to be purchased from my local library and was so thrilled when it was approved and mailed to me! I ended up loving this book so much I ended up buying all of the editions I could find of it and all of Avery Keelan’s other books!

Call me obsessed because I truly loved this book to pieces and ever since finishing it I have been rereading it nonstop.

I know a lot of people thought this was too long but I truly loved every single moment. Sure some things could have been left out but I wouldn’t change any of it.

I found myself rereading parts of it several times instead of just finishing the last two chapters because I didn’t want it to end.

Love Chase and Bailey so much and all the bonus chapters too! I would love a story of Dallas and Shiv too! I would honestly read anything Avery Keelan wanted to give me including her grocery lists lol!

One of my all time favorite books now!

Thank you NetGalley and Tor Books for this ARC!

5 ⭐️

This is my favorite arc book so far in 2025!

Not going to lie that when I saw the page count I was a little scared to see how the story was going to unfold and if it was going to be good at all. Now I am SO happy I got to read this amazing book!

It was so well written, the story developed, we saw amazing character development and I felt like I was “watching” a tv show, no gaps, it was long but very well structured and even tho Avery Keelan gave me EVERYTHING I always want in books (which is to know how their future is in such details, never read anything like it), I still wanted more.. I could have read a 100 pages more!

Chase and Bailey have my heart! They were truly each other’s “person” and I was so in love with their love.
