Pretty good. The relationships are complicated - not just between the protagonists, either. There's a lot of solid, complex secondary characters here - the villain, the families, and the ones that are going to have their own books soon. There's a lot going on - Maggie takes up with one Chase brother and then with another (when the first one abruptly and stupidly (as he agrees, later) drops her), another "boyfriend" turns out to be a stalker...her family has been attacking her for years, emotional abuse... She's very convinced of her unworthiness, which doesn't quite get boring. There's enough changing up that it's not too terrible. The sex is a little more explicit than I like, but not terrible - though the usual trope of lust at first glance does play a major part. There are some editing oddities - mostly words that...I don't think they mean what the author meant them to mean. I generally paused, tried to figure out what it meant, then accepted it in context - but another time I might go look some of them up and see if I can figure out what the author meant to put there. It's not fantastic - way too much emphasis on looks, despite portraying Maggie's beauty-obsessed mother as a minor villain - but mildly enjoyable. I plan to read the rest of the series, as well. ( )

Cute, not quite Kristen Ashley alpha good but funny and adorable and the right amount of action to sweetness! Could have done without all the "I hate myself, I'm never good enough" crap but alas, it read well! ( )

I loved it. I think there is a little bit of Maggie in all of us at some point in our lives. ( )

I am so happy that a Chase boy grabbed a great gal. I nearly cried a few times during the reading. I smiled a lot though. Gotta love Kyle for his willingness to go after Maggie, especially after his brother Shane broke her heart. I want to read so much more of them. I can't to read the rest of the Chase Brothers series. Lauren...thank you so much for a great imagination. I can see the stories. ( )

Surprisingly, I didn't like this book as much as her other ones. The writing felt really a mature and nothing compared to her Brown Siblings series, the relationship between Kyle and Maggie felt forced and things were all over the place until they finally go out on a date. The story was cute, but a little in the too cute side for me; the sex scenes were okay, which I thought strange since her other books make us sizzle. All in all, good enough story for me to not give up on the rest of the series. ( )
