"Music is a Moral Law, It Give Soul to the Universe" - Plato
Sometimes it doesn't matter how long you know a person. The effect they can have on you can happen after four seconds or four years.
In Chase Taylor's case - it's both.
Avery McGuire doesn't just flip on a light inside of her - he set a blaze to everything holding her back. After only a week together he has to leave, but he strikes a match before walking away that won't easily burn out.
Four years later, Chase finds herself face to face with the boy - now rock star - who changed everything. The same one she still can't admit to falling head over heels in love with. She has no idea that her world is about to get rocked, in more ways than one.
I’m a sucker for the rock star romance, as I’m sure many of
you are! There’s just something about
the fantasy of being the one to capture the attention of someone admired by the
masses that makes me feel 13 at a NKOTB concert (Donnie! I love you!) all over again. “Wild Chase” was an original story that did
not disappoint.
Chase Taylor meets Avery McGuire in a bar one night where
she is getting ready to perform. They
have a connection, something that is not easily forgotten by either of
them. But Chase has incredibly strict
and suffocating parents that allow her no freedom. She has one night with Avery, then one
incredible week that shows her what life can really be like, and then he
leaves. Four years later they re-enter each other’s lives by chance. This time, though, he’s a successful musician. And their connection is just as strong.
Well, for starters, I loved the characters in this
book. I thought that Chase was really real. And to see her blossom and become her own
person once she’s out of her parent’s control is really lovely. Avery though…Avery is a great hero. He’s talented, attractive but most of all he
has a heart. And even with all the BS
that these two go through in this story (I’m being vague on purpose…don’t want
to give anything away!) I never doubted for a second that he truly loved Chase,
and that their connection was a once in a lifetime thing.
I thought that the writing and plot of this story were
great! It starts off a little slow, but
once you get to the 4 years later part, you can’t put it down! The sex was also smokin’, and since I’m a sex
book ho, that’s always important to me!
Crystal says she misses my mean reviews, but I can’t help it, I’ve been
blessed with good books lately! This was
a 4 star read for me! Can’t wait for the
next book in the series.
I don't remember telling my feet to move, but before I knew
it, I was behind the heavy black curtain, listening to the muffled sounds going
on around me. Instead of performing acoustically, Baird talked me into
performing with a band. Some of the guys from the headlining act surprisingly
agreed to play my backup. They all smiled at me, giving me thumbs up as I took
my spot behind the microphone.
I grabbed onto it with both hands and closed my eyes,
concentrating on anything other than the thudding of my heart against my chest.
I could feel the sweat rolling down the side of my forehead, but I didn't dare
move my hands to wipe it away. I vaguely heard my name being introduced, and
some light applause as I felt a gentle gust of wind against my face from the
curtain being moved. I kept my eyes firmly shut as the beat of my first song
started. I took a deep breath and let it out infinitely slow, counting down
until my first lyric came up and then it felt like my whole body was on fire as
the words flowed effortlessly from my tongue.
I started my short set with “Smooth Criminal.” Even in this
Texas crowd, I knew the tune would be appreciated, and everyone seemed to be
instantly impressed with my selection. It had taken me a while, but I had
changed the arrangement around. I upped the tempo so that the song was a little
more rock and roll and paired nicely with my fiery alto voice. I finally opened
my eyes about halfway through the song and instead of scanning the room for
fear of lighting my nerves up again, I looked straight down to find Vic. She
was dancing like a mad woman, and I couldn't help but smile.
By the time the last note rang out, I felt incredible. I
would always remember the way it felt to be in that moment. Completely alive
with no one to hold me back or hide me away.
