Welcome back to the not-so-sleepy town of Sparrow Falls, where at times danger is hiding in the shadows…waiting to pounce.
Chasing Shelter is Ellie & Trace’s story…and it picks up shortly after the end of Beautiful Exile.
Ellie is Lincoln’s younger sister & she decided that she was going to leave the life that her father demanded she lived in NYC behind…and move to Sparrow Falls.
She left quite a bit behind in NYC…an job…and an ex…
But now…she’s figuring out what she wants to do with her life…living it as brightly as she wants…instead of how everyone else thinks she should live.
She found a house to rent…one that her brother even approved of…because of her neighbor. Little did Ellie know…she’s now living next-door to Trace Colson & his adorable little girl, Keely.
Trace lives more or less by the ‘rules’…though he tries to keep things fun & such for his daughter…who is ecstatic when her ‘bestie’ moves in next door & helps her with her hair…
But what happens when even Trace’s past comes knocking? He didn’t have an easy childhood before he ended up at the Colson’s as a foster child…
Ellie had hoped she left her past behind in NYC…
Then mix in the in-everyone’s-business siblings of Trace…plus Lottie…I love Lottie…
Not to mention an rescued dog & goat….
The answers…the sibling banter—the text threads (love those as well)….and everyone within Sparrow Falls can be found within the pages of Chasing Shelter…plus finally seeing another character on ‘paper’—I might need to do a re-read of the previous books (I might have missed his ‘chat’ appearances).
Chasing Shelter, while fifth in the series—can be read as a stand-alone book…and if you haven’t read the series yet—grab it….read it…then go binge read the previous books. Or…you can binge-read from the start (Fragile Sanctuary).
Can’t wait for the final book (Secret Haven) to be released in October…and that one will be epic.
Five out of five stars for Chasing Shelter…go & grab it if you haven’t already.

If you have read one book in this series, you have read them all. I really don't know why I keep reading these, but I think I'm in too deep now lol. Nearly every woman, besides Nora, are extremely immature. Which is fine for one character, but as the series has progressed, more and more have been introduced. I cannot stand Lolli. At. All. It's not cute, it's cringe. The nicknames in this series are atrocious and cringey as well, but Blaze is one of the better ones. Trace is a likable character and so is the daughter. The plot is the same just with different people, which isn't necessarily bad, but the characters make it difficult.
