Sex On The Beach Series….Tour Stop & Chasing Me by Jennifer Probst Review

Chasing Me Synopsis:

The New York Times Bestseller, Beyond Me, captured reader’s hearts.

Now the stunning story of Quinn and James continues…

It was supposed to be a love story….

I knew she was out of my league but I didn’t care. Looking back, I wonder if I hadn’t pursued her, would things have turned out differently? Is it Fate that determines our choices in life? God? Free will? Or just plain old innate selfishness?

I got her, of course. There hadn’t been a girl I wasn’t able to seduce. Problem was she seduced me right back, body, mind, and soul. She possessed me, tormented me, and showed me a world that was so bright and pure I was almost blinded.

Didn’t she know after such a drug I could never settle for less? Didn’t she realize no matter how many times I screwed up, or broke her heart, or bent her to my will, I’d never be able to let her go?

If I hadn’t known such intensity existed, would it have been better for both of us?

True love, the real kind, isn’t nice and sweet and pure. No, it’s dirty, and sinful, and messy.

It’s like ripping a chunk of flesh from your body and watching yourself bleed out in slow, helpless intervals until you thankfully pass out.

This isn’t a love story. But it’s the only story I got.

James and Quinn steam up the pages again in Chasing Me. Their chemistry will pull you in and keep you on the edge of your seat in this deliciously sexy story of love, trust, and forgiveness. –NYT and USA Today Bestselling Author Kelly Elliott

My Review:

Chasing Me is the follow up to author Jennifer Probst’s story Beyond Me and picks up with Quinn and James and their blooming relationship after the move to Chicago. I loved catching up with these two and the emotional ride was fantastic!

Quinn is on the road to landing her dream career working to help people struggling like her father had with alcoholism years ago and she’s never been happier. And with James having moved to Chicago to be with her it was the icing on the cake. But you know what they say about things being too good to be true…

James is happiest these days doing two things: making art and spending time with Quinn. Sure, he had given up taking money from his wealthy family and adjusting to living like a regular college student was sure a challenge, but he was willing to do it for Quinn. He had found the girl of his dreams and he would do anything for her. Of course just when things seem to be as good as they could ever be, one woman threatens to ruin everything. Add that to adjusting to a whole different way of life and things start to get really rough, really fast. Will he be able to hold it all together and not lose Quinn in the process?

With so many ups and downs and outside influences threatening to tear them apart, will the relationship and bond Quinn and James have be able to weather the storm?

First off, I have to say, I adore how Ms. Probst wrote the beginning and ending of this story. Through her words and the voice it was written, I was pulled in and fell in love with James even more than I already had been. It was done so well!

This story is a journey, filled with twists and turns along the path. Twists and turns involving love, trust, hurt, and emotional growth both as individuals and as a couple. It was also very real. I can recall with vivid clarity going through issues they did in this story. Jealousy, feeling unappreciated, wanting more from a boyfriend. All of it. I do love that in a book. On top of the emotion was incredible heat between Quinn and James and it was delicious. I was a nervous wreck more than a few times while reading and wasn’t sure they would be able to make it though the challenges they are facing, but if you know Ms. Probst, you know she writes some of the best endings out there and this was no exception!

Thank you, Ms. Probst, for giving us more of Quinn and James. I loved it!

The Sex On The Beach Series:

BOOK SUMMARY:

Sex on the Beach, the do-over.

I had a simple plan for what to do in Key West the second time around.

Testify at the trial of the rapist I helped catch last year.

Make sure he gets locked away for the rest of his natural life, so he can never, ever hurt another girl.

Wait for my BFFs to get to town, so we can celebrate.

And stay far away from Ty Connor, because three months after breaking up with him, I still don’t know whether being with him is worse than being without him.

Spring Break, take two.

All of the above? Out the window.

Turns out testifying is a lot harder than I thought it would be.

Not only is the rapist I helped catch last year not locked away for the rest of his life, he’s on the loose and looking for me.

Oh yeah, and it’s definitely harder being without Ty than being with him, especially when I have to watch him with someone else.

Welcome to my world.

BOOK SUMMARY:

When it all comes crashing down…

Everything I thought I had with Austin Murphy—safety, stability, the normalcy I crave but my celebrity lifestyle rarely allows—was ripped away in one night. I wanted to surprise him, but the joke was on me. Now I don’t know if I ever really knew him at all.

Someone has to pick up the pieces…

Mackenzie Forbes was everything I ever wanted and the one person I didn’t deserve. When a past mistake costs me the girl I love, I’ll do everything I can to get her back. We both have demanding careers and family secrets darkening our pasts, but I need Mackenzie in my future.

Sometimes everything you have to give just isn’t enough…
