Audiobook Review – One to Chase by Tia Louise

09/17/2016

review_onetochase_rect

One To Chase (One to Hold Book 7) by Tia Louise

Can Stand Alone easily. Erotic Romance.

One to Chase is the first book from Tia Louise that I have read. I rarely read books in a series out of order, but I was assured that this is a true standalone, in fact, Tia Louise said she was thinking of making it a spin-off. I did, however just find out that there was a free 50 page prequel called RunawayĀ that I wish I read first.

“I called her a baby. She called me an old man—it still makes me chuckle. She challenged me to a drinking contest then she rocked me like a hurricane.”

Runaway is about hot shot Lawyer Marcus Merritt, hooking up at an out of town wedding with Amy Knight, who is just moving back to ChicagoĀ after a few years in Paris. One to Chase takes place two weeks later. Amy had disappeared that night after the wedding, and Marcus can’t get her out of his mind. The book begins with Marcus getting a BJ in the bathroom by stripper turned society girl, Paige Goldfarb. But he is thinking about the mysterious Amy. He is also talking to the reader, telling us he’s not a bad guy, he doesn’t normally get BJs in bathrooms. I loved this! I love when that third wall is broken down.

When Amy’s POV came, I had a bit of a rough time. Despite the narrator doing a lot of other popular books, her voice was a bit like nails on a chalkboard to me, especially when she was vocalizing other characters besides Amy. It honestly bugged me so much. I think because of that, I might not have focused as much on her parts as I would have liked to.

OK, back to the story. Amy is back in town from Paris to take care of her mother and looking for work. A family member recommends her visiting Marcus, a local attorney, who has a ton of connections in Chicago society.Ā Imagine both of their surprise when they realize they had just had a passionate encounter two weeks before. One of the most passionate either has ever had.

Marcus is one of the most eligible bachelors in Chicago. He can have anyone, but he wants Amy. Amy doesn’t need a man in her life, and beyond hookups has no plan to ever have a permanent one.

“Women don’t need men. And I will not be held hostage the way my gorgeous mother was for years. Her dreams and desires taking a back seat to his.”

Amy is 25, and Marcus is 10 years older. I love this. There is something hot about an older, experienced man who knows what he is doing. (Maybe that’s why I fell for Mr. Ana when I was 19 and he was 27). But Marcus doesn’t ever need to chase a girl.

“You don’t do relationships, and I don’t chase.”
“We do fuck, however. Many times and very well. Shockingly well.”

But the book lived up to it’s name, because Marcus did chase. But will he chase enough to bring down her walls?

“Everything in me craves her.”

Likes:

  • He broke down the 3rd wall between narrator and reader.
  • Yum, Marcus Merritt. I love a sexy lawyer in a suit and glasses.
  • Marcus was dominant in the courtroom and in bed.
  • He is a dirty talker.
  • Great banter.
  • Absolutely stood alone, I didn’t feel like I missed anything, though I think I would have liked to read the freeĀ RunawayĀ first.
  • Totally delicious hot sex.

Dislikes:

  • OMG, I hatedĀ the high nasal voice of the female narrator at first. I warmed up a bit, but when she did other characters it was like nails on a chalkboard.
  • The whole society girl drama between Paige and Karen…too much snooty society crap, made even worse by the nasally voice the narrator uses for them, (screech!)

The Down & Dirty:

I think I would have enjoyed One to Chase more if I read it instead of listened to the audiobook. Despite the popular narrator, her voice really, really got on my nerves, especially when vocalizing the obnoxious society women. Otherwise, I enjoyed the sexy story, and I enjoyed the male narrator. I loved the dirty talking, persistent, dominant alpha attorney, and I loved how he worked on getting through to her and making them “fly” together. I could have done without the society drama, but I think that is partially because of how it was vocalized. While I can usually separate the story from the audiobook, I had a hard time here, because it really affected my focus on the story. But I can tell I really like Tia’s writing, and will gladly read other books from her.

Rating: 3.75Ā stars, 4.75 Heat, 3.5 Narration (He was a 5, she was a 2)

    Thanks lady! Sorry the female narrator was a challenge. Glad you liked Gary’s voice, though. (aka, “Mr. Sex” LOL!)

Formula 1 is by far the sexiest sport. I don’t k Formula 1 is by far the sexiest sport. I don’t know why we don’t have more romances set in racing and I’m so glad @kbromberg has set her latest series in my favorite sport. Riggs started off not-so-good but completely won me over with his sweet, fun, lighthearted personality. I laughed and I cried. It was slow-burn, but the last 25% had me riveted and I hate to wait until January for the next in the Full Throttle Series.

Fighting the Pull by @kristenashleybooks is LIVE a Fighting the Pull by @kristenashleybooks is LIVE at MIDNIGHT! While the River Rain Series has had its ups and downs for me, I absolutely loved Fighting the Pull. Elsa is by far my favorite heroine of the series and Hale was all bossy and sexy. It doesn’t hurt that he’s a billionaire either. As more and more background about the characters comes up, it’s made me want to re-read the whole series with new eyes while I anxiously await for the next in the series!

Don’t come for me! I listened to A Court of Thor Don’t come for me! I listened to A Court of Thorns and Roses and enjoyed it but wasn’t raving about it, but everyone said I have to read the second book, A Court of Mist & Fury. I wish I could say I loved it, but I just liked it. With the next book being 25+ hours, I wasn’t willing to spend that time to continue the series. What are your thoughts?

Wow, We Own Tonight is an oldie but a goody! It’ Wow, We Own Tonight is an oldie but a goody! It’s been on my radar for years, but I never got to it. It had everything I love in a romance novel and more. Filled with romance, friendship, family, love, and heartbreak, We Own Tonight by @corinnemichaels left me wondering why I waited so long to read it; it’s no wonder it’s still so popular 6 years after release. I’m so excited to get mine signed here at #readersontheriver

Runaway Groomsman by @meghanquinnbooks was another Runaway Groomsman by @meghanquinnbooks was another unique, feel-good story from one of my favorite authors. The Alzheimer’s storyline was very special and it’s what made this book stand out to me.  While not as spicy as most Meghan Quinn books, if you don’t mind a light, slow-burn story with some really beautiful family moments and wonderful town connections, you would enjoy Runaway Groomsman.
