Cassie Gambol is on the run. In what seems like another lifetime, her ex-husband nearly ended her life and effectively ended her successful career as a vascular surgeon. But even though the justice system found him guilty of attempted murder, he fled while awaiting sentencing and Carly Sunderland became Cassie Gambol.
Fleeing Los Angeles, she heads to small and off the map Petal, Georgia to start her life again.
Shane Chase, a man who’s held himself away from commitment since his fiance dumped him several years before knows the beautiful newcomer is hiding something. He’s wildly attracted to her strength and her underlying vulnerability as well.
But the last thing Cassie wants is another big, overwhelming man who wants to control her life. A battle begins between Shane, who knows what he wants and Cassie, who knows she needs to do everything she can to keep a distance between herself and the very handsome sheriff.
But Cassie’s ex is back and he wants her dead.
- My Review -
Escaping her past, Cassie Gambol, was attempting to find peace and quiet in Petal, Georgia. She expected to be left alone and to find a quiet job. But when she crashes into Polly Chase on her way into town, she's in for a whirlwind of southern charm. Relentless Polly won't give up on apologizing, and her sheriff son might have taken a liking to Cassie. Picking up where the Lauren Dane's last Chase Brothers book, Giving Chase left off, Taking Chase tells the story of Shane the oldest brother of the group of four.Being the sheriff of Petal, Georgia would be less of a hassle for Shane Chase, if his mother stopped getting into car accidents. Her latest accident with Cassie Gambol though might just be the most helpful his mother has ever been with helping him romantically. Unlike before, when Shane dated Maggie in Giving Chase, Shane isn't just in this for the joy of taking a girl out. He wants to get to know Cassie at a personal level, and she's running in the opposite direction. Coming out of a life threatening relationship with her ex-husband, Cassie is on the run. Her husband has threatened her more than once, ruined her career, and he's run away from his the law on an attempted manslaughter conviction. Hesitant as she is Cassie can't seem to stay away from Shane. And when Cassie's gives Shane a chance it's nothing but sparks flying everywhere. But when her ex is actively searching for Cassie, will the handsome sheriff be able to protect her from the man she once loved.
Taking Chase lets readers dive even more into the complex charm of the south, but shows readers how one screwed up relationship can give way to taking a chance. The second novel of the Chase Brothers series, Taking Chase tops within my top fifteen favorites, and having read the whole series I can attest that I am a huge Lauren Dane fan. She continues to give readers a dynamic outlook on both the interactions of the Chase brothers, but also how listening is crucial in building relationships. Taking Chase is preceded by Giving Chase, Kyle and Maggie's story, and is followed by Chased (Marc) and Making Chase (Matt). The spin off series Petal, Georgia also includes Once and Again and Lost in You.
