Chase is the first book in the Briar U series which is an extension of the “Off Campus” series. I LOVE the Off Campus series which is based off of a college hockey team, this book is a new adult romance with a HFN ending. This is not my favorite type of ending, but we see this on a regular basis with New Adult romances but Elle Kennedy is one of the best in writing in this genre and I just loved this book so much especially since it features a nerdy hockey player which I love those nerdy hero types so this book really worked for me.

Our story begins when our heroine, Summer who has recently joined Briar U after a bit of a disaster occured at her last school and there was a fire involved and now she has transferred here but when the sorority of Briar U refuses to let her join them, her brother Dean, gives her a place to live with some of his previous playmates of the Briar U hockey team. Summer is determined to get her degree in fashion and to succeed even with three male roommates including one who is sexy as sin: Colin Fitzgerald, Colin plays hockey on the Briar U hockey team, but is a nerd, he plays video games and is in the process of designing his own games and trying to find a job with a highly respected gaming team. Colin is attracted to Summer, but he fears that they are way too different to make anything work. Even though his roommate has a thing for Summer, he can’t resist the chemistry with Summer and soon they develop a relationship and even though they are very different from each other, a love develops between them…

The Chase was such a fun and vibrant romance and I had so much fun with this story. I can’t even tell you how much fun I had with this one here. I wasn’t sure how I felt about this one here especially with the heroine, since at first she has the appearance of being spoiled and rich however, I found myself relating to her in the little ways and she had such energy and was so fun and her character made me want to just let go much more. She doesn’t let much get her down. Our hero is dreamy and sexy and boy I can see why Summer fell in love with him too. He is more reserved, and more of a gamma hero than what we normally see from Elle Kennedy but I loved his personality. He is a gamer, but also plays hockey (really well too) and he is beyond sexy when you least expect him to be, and boy once he hits the bedroom…he sets the sheets on fire.

Overall I found The Chase to be a titilating read that engages the reader immediately and gives you a entertaining lively romance to remember!!!
