Embracing Jared (Thrill of the Chase, #3) by Anna Paige – Review by Amy Brennan

Embracing Jared by Anna Paige
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I picked this novel up after I had already read a couple of similar novels by other authors and was very intrigued to see the difference between their writing styles and this author. I can certainly say I was very pleased to find that the one of the main characters, being Jared, isn’t your typical ‘perfect’ male lead, rather, we’re introduced to his speech impediment quickly. It’s not very often you pick up a romance novel that includes someone that is less than perfect in the simplest of ways. Despite this, he is every bit as swoon worthy, with this my father comes first mentality. It was only right that he met someone that felt the same way. Madison is his father’s nurse, and is fully committed to the well-being of Mr. Christopher, putting him first despite what the consequences. This novel was heartwarming, tear-jerking, the losses and gains throughout created this enthralling read.

I adore the way this author brings the reader into their world, I personally felt as though I was walking the halls with Jared as he went to visit his father the first time since Madison or “Cookie” had started working, and felt the emotional turmoil that goes along with such. You feel connected to not only the two main characters, but Jared’s band mates, and as we come to feel the intensity of their friendships, they’re not only friends, but family as well. Overall, the character building, the story that unfolds, and the emotions that swirl off the pages are simply addicting. I very much look forward to reading the rest of the novels in this series. I’ll be back!
