Chasing You by Felicity Snow
4.0

As I understand it, this is a debut novel for this author. It certainly doesn't seem that way, I was drawn in right from the start and actually read the whole thing start to finish in one sitting. I liked the setting, and the characters right from the off.

The longing between the two is palpable, it's right there and it pours out of them both. Emmett first, because you get his POV first without knowing anything about Cash, really. Then there's a bit of a time jump and Emmett seems settled with his life and his fiancee until he meets Cash again, and we then get his POV.

I loved how supportive Cash's parents were, right through everything he's been through. It was great to see how they both knew him so well that they never worried he'd get involved with a teacher when he was a student, and I'm glad it didn't go down that path.

It's not 5 stars purely because I felt the ending was a little rushed, the matter of Emmett's wedding and his fiancee was kind of brushed aside when it could have been a little more important, and I did feel bad for Harper, she was kind of swept under the carpet to rush toward the ending.

It was a nice HEA though, and I'm glad they relocated and built a life together. This was a great first start to this writer, and I'd definitely look for more in future.

I received an ARC and this is my honest review.
