Guest Review: Chaser (Chaser #1) by Rick R. Reed

Caden DeSarro is what they call a chubby chaser. He likes his guys with a few extra pounds on them. So when he meets Kevin Dodge in a bar bathroom, he can’t help but stare. As far as Caden is concerned, Kevin is physically perfect: a stocky bearded blond. But Caden gets tongue-tied and misses his chance.

When Caden runs into Kevin one night on the el train, he figures it’s fate offering him a second shot. Caden manages to get invited back to Kevin’s place for a one-night stand that turns into the kind of relationship he’s dreamed about.

But the course of true love never runs smoothly—Kevin and Caden’s romance is no exception. When Caden returns from a few weeks away on business, Kevin surprises him with a new and “improved” body—one that fits Caden’s shallow friend Bobby’s ideal, but not Caden’s. Caden doesn’t know what to do, and his hesitation is just the opportunity Bobby was looking for.

Caden and Kevin are a match made in heaven. They are hot and heavy and emotionally connected from the second meeting, if not the first!

The romance is a delight, and then it all goes wrong.

Caden has to go away from work and his mother gets sick so all his energies are directed away from Kevin and his secret plan to get skinny and fit. I loved that Caden and Kevin had kept in touch even though they were miles apart. Their relationship really developed over the time they were separated. The emotional growth was super charming but then…

Caden comes back and is shocked to say the least, and I felt sorry for Kevin that Caden was being so shallow and superficial. Luckily he gets his head out of his ass just in time, but not before his ‘friend’ Bobby got his claws into Kevin!

Oh how I loathed Bobby.

Luckily for us romance fans, the HEA is secure, and we get our cozy smoochy ending. Bobby not so much. He almost ruined his only friend’s happiness. Bobby I was not thrilled with. More about that next time in the sequel “Raining Men” Bobby’s book. Usually I can’t wait for the next book in a series. I am a complete fan-girl of a good series where everyone gets their happily ever after.

For now, I’ll say I loved the writing here, it’s warm and so engaging and most of the characters are delightful!

Recommended.

I was given a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
