Book review: The Chase Elle Kennedy

The Chase (Briar U, #1)

The Chase by Elle Kennedy

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


August 8-September 4th

Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there’s no logical reason why I’m so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don’t usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I’m flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn’t help that he’s buddy-buddy with my brother.

And that his best friend has a crush on me.

And that I just moved in with them.

Oh, did I not mention we’re roommates?

I suppose it doesn’t matter. Fitzy has made it clear he’s not interested in me, even though the sparks between us are liable to burn our house down. I’m not the kind of girl who chases after a man, though, and I’m not about to start. I’ve got my hands full dealing with a new school, a sleazy professor, and an uncertain future. So if my sexy brooding roomie wises up and realizes what he’s missing?

He knows where to find me.


Review : I loved this book Fitz and summers story was funny and sexy . Summer likes Fitz a lot and she’s going to be attending briar college and she needs a place to stay after she wasn’t allowed to stay at the sorority house since the innocent that happened at her last school so she ends up rooming with. Fitz, Hunter and Hollis . But this is after new years after her and Hunter kissed on new years cause she overheard Fitz talk to Garrett saying she’s drama and fluff so she got mad . So they have really bad sexual Tension they bicker and anoy each other. Summer makes a new friend Brenna I love her . Her and Hollis were my favorite side characters. So summer has Adhd and has trouble focusing and she’s worried about her classes. Her professor is a big creep though he winks and flirts with her so icky. Summer and Fitz kissing sumer get it was the kiss. Fitz got an interview with this video game billionaire whose kinda a douche. Summer got in a bar fight protesting Brenna and Fitz got marathon her cause he was worried. Sometimes Fitz kinda annoyed me he was very judgmental of summerbut didn’t want her going out with Hunter. She goes out with Hunter but it wasn’t going anywhere cause she was thinking about Fitz. She got home and slept with Fitz. Fitz invites her to this gala for this interview with the billionaire douche and he totally insults them both.then summer breaks up with Fitz cause she thinks it’s her fault he didn’t get the job then he tells her he loves her.then Dean walks in on them having sex and he punches Fitz in the balls. The creep professor tries to kiss summer what a creep and then humiliates her in class by saying this paper is what A bad paper is what a dick. Then he pushes her fashion show cause he knew her models would be late . Fitz gets some of his teammates to model instead himself included. Summer walks in on Norah and the professor the girl obviously said no and he would of raped her they go to the dean to report it . Loved this story can’t wait to read the rest.


Quotes :

We live in a society where too many women tear each other down instead of raising each other up. That’s absurd to me. We need to empower one another, teach future generations of girls that it’s important to stand together. Once upon a time, we had a common goal and a common enemy. We were burning bras, and fighting for the right to vote.
Now we’re body shaming each other on social media and blaming the mistress if our man cheats.”



I want a man with clear intentions. A man who makes an effort and is excited to spend time with me. A man who actually wants to want me. If he has to fight himself to be with me, then chances are he’d never fight for me if it came down to it.
What woman would ever choose somebody like that?”


You’re not allowed to get pregnant until you’re at least thirty. I’m not ready to be an uncle.”
“Oh my God. Life isn’t always about you!” They stand there bickering as if I’m not bent in half on the marble floor, gasping for air.
“I’m not having kids with you,” I wheeze at Summer. “I don’t want to be part of your insane family.”
“Oh hush, sweetie. It’s too late. I’ve become attached.”

I feel like too many girls fail to remember one vital truth: we deserve someone who gives us one hundred percent. Half-assed effort isn’t effort. Half-assed love isn’t love. If a man isn’t all in, then we need to be all out.”

Dean,” Summer begs, burying her face against my chest. “Turn around. Please.” “Oh my fucking God. Are you having sex?” he thunders. “Right here?!” “Dean! Turn around!”
