3.5 stars. While I liked reading the book, it didn't really spark that 'really invested' vibe in me. I did enjoy myself though. It took a while for me to get invested in Nash's character and Mason's family was truly awful, but the last part of the book was lovely and the ending felt well deserved.

Color me pleasantly surprised. This one had been sitting on my TBR since multiple people I follow had given it a thumbs up. I am not usually one for the May/December trope. I know! I know I guess I just haven't really loved any that I have read. I did however like this one.
Mason is 28, back in his hometown, to open a LGBT friendly bar/restaurant. With this he plans as his start in trying to liven up Rainbow Cove and bring this small town up on the times. He opens this business with his two buds Adam and Logan. One thing about being back in Rainbow Cove is that Mason is known here, not for his cooking talents, but for his last name Hanks . Let's just say that name is known around these parts as being synonymous with Trouble , and there is one man who is well aware of his families misdeeds and that's Chief of Police Nash Flint.
Nash Flint is a man with principles. He's almost 40 and all he has to show for it is his job and the closet he hides in. Nash has his priorities: falling in love and coming out are both at the bottom of that list. Years of living his life based on his father's opinions is a habit that is hard to break. That is until he sits down to lunch at the new tavern and is greeted by a smiling Mason. Fate takes it from there.
It was fun watching these two men fumble around each other. Mason tries teaching Nash to cook, encourages him to get out of his comfort zone and live a little. Nash in return treats Mason to his first fishing outing and shares his knowledge of the hobby he loves. Their relationship shaped itself in an organic way. What started out at tentative friendships, leads to fooling around, and as we all know fooling around inevitably leads to feelings. It was a cute, sweet read. Nash was frustrating at times, but in the end he turned out all right.

It's such a page tunner and love Sheriff Nash and Manson especially Nash Flint. Story itself is not new for reader but has great chemistry in MLs.

Such a wonderful story
I love a grumpy/sunshine story almost as I love an age gap - so I knew this story would be perfect. Annabeth Albert seriously knows how to write great characters with a great low angst plot. Devoured this in a day. 100% recommend!

Great start to a series. I didn't love the backdrop of the no accepting town and the choosing to return to that town in the first place (maybe there is another book that explains this idk but I didn't see the appeal aside from Lilac).
Both men were kind of adorable. Nash's turn around seemed a lot at once. But also I got legit feels when reading the last bit of the book. I felt like secondary characters needed ... More. I know some will get their own books but I needed to know them a bit more or a bit less, idk. Even if there were parts that were meh, for all those feels I gotta go with 5 stars!

Mason Hanks has returned to his hometown of Rainbow Cove and opened up an lgbt+ inclusive bar. He's determined to overcome the shadow of his infamous family's name and reputation, caused by the criminal activities of his brothers.
Nash Flint is the chief of police. He's closeted and afraid of the damage being out might cause his reputation. He's also had a lot of run ins with Mason's brothers. But despite all that he can't fight the attraction he has towards Mason.
With the odds stacked against Mason and Nash, their fwb was destined to become more.
Trust with a Chaser was an enjoyable read, but the conflict of Nash always trying to hide their relationship for most of the book did put a damper on things.

Erzählt wird aus Sicht beider Männer vom selben Erzähler, der seine Stimme verstellt. Er versucht dauernd anzüglich zu klingen und macht es nur unangenehmer zuzuhören.

Das Hörbuch ist nicht zu empfehlen, bin dann doch auf das Buch umgestiegen, auch wenn da das Cover schrecklich aussieht.
Aber die Geschichte hat mir wirklich gut gefallen.
