A review by bookphenomena_micky
Chaser by Kylie Scott

3.0

I’m surprised to find myself rating a book from this series a ‘3’ but here we are. Chaser focuses on Eric, that annoying tool I remember from the previous books, known for his messy entanglement with Nell. It’s not the best introduction to a hero but worse characters than Eric have been redeemed. Jean is the lead female in this book and she’s solid, strong and interesting.

Jean brings something along with her to this ride, this little tag-along was the best and a context I could get behind....normally. However, it took me to 30% to feel any kind of into-it. Then I struggled from 30-70% and finally I really enjoyed the last 30%.

So was this ‘okay’ rating an issue of pacing? I think a little that, a little me but mainly I struggled to connect in any shape or form to Eric. I didn’t really feel the connection between Eric and Jean until that later part I enjoyed and by the end I can say I still felt ambivalent about him. Kylie Scott wrote the intimate chemistry superbly when we got to that.

I’m enough of a Kylie Scott fan to know that this read was out of the ordinary for me and that in all likelihood I’ll be back to high ratings for her books in the future.

I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.
