Embracing Jared (Thrill of the Chase, #3)Embracing Jared by Anna Paige
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Such a sweet story that drew happy tears on more than one occasion, I loved it! Embracing Jared hit me on a deep level. I felt sadness, anger, tears, happiness and love throughout. I’ve lost a family member to the dreadful disease that’s stealing Mr. Christopher’s life, so I can completely understand everything Jared is feeling when it comes to his father.
Madison, personifies the reason I actually decided the medical field wasn’t for me. I can’t disconnect, but neither can she. She cares fiercely for her patients and deals with the aftermath in her own time. Madison and Jared definitely started out with a rocky Nurse/Client relationship, however despite that Jared realizes she’s the best thing for his father. He also starts to admire her in other ways, are his feelings mutual?
Though this is book 3 in the A Thrill of the Chase series, not only do I believe I read book 1 a while ago, I’m ready to go back and read through all 3 in a row. Even saying that it’s very good as a stand-alone, you don’t necessarily have to read the others. READ IT, COM’ON YOU KNOW YOU WANT TOO!

5 Stars

 

Embracing Jared is the third book in the Thrill of The Chase series by Anna Paige. It is a superb Rockstar romance, drama, chemistry, sparks, tension, brotherhood, family, and plenty of emotion.
As with the other two books in the series, it could be read as a standalone, but in doing that, I feel you would be doing yourself a disservice, as there is a lot of information and important details in the other books that would highly enhance your reading experience of this third instalment, as well as the series as a whole.
Again, the author has upped the ante and delivered a captivating story that enhances this fantastic series. It is Rockstar romance done right- with all the author’s clever touches and original take on the topic. I couldn’t have loved the characters, storyline and details any more than I did.
So, if you love Rockstar romance, contemporary romance, a captivating story, and endearing slightly flawed characters- then you really should do yourself a favour and grab yourself a copy of this book (and series) and fall in love with these wonderful characters, stories, and talented author.
This book has only reinforced the fact that I am addicted to the ‘Thrill of the Chase’ and am an Anna Paige junkie- I soooo can’t wait for my next fix!

Thank you, Anna Paige!

Madison swoops right into Jared’s life like a hurricane and knocks him right off his feet before he even realizes what’s happening. I really love that Jared has a stutter and he isn’t portrayed as this perfect shallow rock star, it makes him so much more endearing and adorable! He is so heart meltingly sweet with his father who has some memory issues. Madison misjudges Jared so harshly in the beginning nut once she meets him in person she realizes just how wrong she was. Once she starts to let her walls down, he works his way into her heart just as deeply as his father has. There are so many sweet moment interjected with the tears along the way, that this book had me hooked from the very first page. The ending is absolutely swoon worthy and this is a book that is definitely a must read. The other band members have some parts in this book that have me eager to go and read the first books in this series to find out more about them!

Embracing Jared (Thrill of the Chase #3) by Anna Paige

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. It’s the third book in the Thrill of the Chase Series. Jared and Madison are cute and I was very happy to read their story.

Jared is after one thing and one thing only, getting the best care for his father. So when the new caregiver is being a pain he goes in person to confront her. Then he’s grateful for her and asks her to be his father’s private nurse. The quote I chose for Jared is: “That’s the first s-s-song I ever played. I l-l-learned it for my f-f-father because I knew it w-w-was his favorite. Because he w-w-was my hero. S-s -still is.”

Madison loves her job and gets attached to her patients. She gets protective of Mr. Christopher and when things go south she thinks of his safety before her own. She can’t help but fall for Mr. Christopher’s son although she knows she shouldn’t. The quote I chose for Madison is: “Sounds good. Mr. Christopher, you sit tight for just a minute. Cookie will be right back, okay? Ethan is going to find a good station on the radio. He’s not from around here, so maybe you can help.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning and I loved Madison without fully meeting her yet just by the letter she sent to Jared.

Jared is a Rock star who loves music and his father. When he gets a sassy letter from his fathers caretaker he decides to take a trip to visit his dad and meet this woman to give her a piece of his mind. But when he meets Madison his plans change. They both have one thing in common, the best care for his dad. Jared also has a promise to keep.

Overall I really enjoyed this read, my emotions were all over the place. The characters were great, they have become one of my favorite couples in this series. The author does a great job with her writing. I was really happy with the ending. If you’re looking for a great Rock star series this is the one for you, this book can be read as a stand alone but reading them in order gives you the best experience. 1-click and get started today.

Whoa! What a story! Really.. I was blown away! What I love about this is the look behind the rock star. Sure there are band moments but this really is about Jared and his life. I enjoyed how little moments became larger moments and really I just loved Jared and his devotion to Mr C.

The feelings displayed by the characters and also *felt* by the reader are immense. Many times I want to Hoot and Holler for Jared and other times I wanted to put my hand on his shoulder in commiseration. I really felt his joy even if they were happy tears. Cookie is a delight. Feisty, sassy and stands up for herself. I loved her interaction with Mr C. She is someone everyone would love to have on their staff.

I love and enjoy seeing all the guys in the band. They are truly brothers first and band members second. It shows over and over in this story. I love the joking and noodling. Even when Kade laid into one of the other characters…I was like..Yup don’t mess with him!

These stories are so much more that just rock star romance. There is depth behind each of them that makes the reader go through a hoard or emotions. I laughed, cried, felt empathy and was surprised while reading. I easily end up loving all the characters and could see myself rereading this one. I eagerly look forward to Lennox’ story.

I haven’t read the frist few series of this I will admit. Madsion and Jared Intinal intreactons are snappy at each other. As the story progess Madsion and Jared intreactons become for frequent due to her caring for his dad. At times we see frustrations from both side and reading through both side makes it more understandable

This is a rock and roll romance story. It is raw and edgy, and the energy was palpable. I loved the first two books and this one just gets better. The characters are delightful and real and will capture your heart. Emotions run deep so drink up and grab a tissue.
He had his dreams. He had it all. He had his demons. He was torn. He was angry. He was blindsided, but he would create World War three to protect those he loves.

What a fantastic addition to the series this book is. This book is all about the characters. Right from the word go they have such a strong connection. Their chemistry is obvious in every page and they really take over the when book.
What I also really enjoyed about this book is that is had a depth about it that that don’t often find with rock star romances. It made it much easier to engage with the story as it developed.
This was a great book overall and a strong series that is worth a read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 2nd book in the series but each can be read as a stand-alone. I had read, and loved, the 2nd book but haven’t read the first book, something I need to remedy.
This book come under the trope of Rock Star romance but it is so, so much more than that. The author tackles 2 difficult subjects, those being speech difficulties and dementia, and she does so in an amazing manner. She really highlights the pain and suffering that those with these issues, and their loved ones, go though. She does an incredible job of tugging at the heartstrings and taking you through an emotional roller coaster of a journey.
I adored both of the main characters Jared and Madison (Cookie). I totally fell in love with Madison’s character immediately, when I read the email reply that she sent to Jared. She’s a total badass who is damn good at her job and takes no prisoners. Jared really tore at my heartstrings. I just wanted to give him a huge hug so many times. Just how much can one man take in his life. The very fact that I had so many emotions just shows how well this author is at character building.
I loved this book and can’t wait to read more from this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was truly amazing, from start to finish, I felt so much, I really felt for the characters and what they endured in life and what they had to do, well to get through life. The book was real as it could get with characters and emotions, and life being itself. This was a wild ride, one that I would surely ride again!

What got me truly with those heart strings of mine, was not the romance of a relationship with a girl working out for Jared, but with his own father. I truly felt the emotions of how he cared for him and wanted to be a good and good for his father type of son. You could tell at first glance that under some blankets issues were there, be it with Jared or his father. I really enjoyed their side of the story, getting all those emotions and feels, I learned things about Jared I did not expect to, and it really made me want to reach out and hug him truly! I loved how much Jared truly loved his father and respected him despite his life as a rock star, I did not expect that, but it was wonderful and full of heart, loved that!

Madison was his father’s nurse. Though she was a nurse providing care. I could sense she felt the same and cared for him on a friend level rater more than just patient and nurse type of level. I found the chemistry with Madison and Jared wonderful as well. It was very convincing and you knew the passion was there the more time they spent together, though you knew bot were reluctant to allow either of themselves to feel anything for one another, despite what ever excuse that may be. This is what I loved about this book, it was not your traditional guy meets girl, fall in love with a dash of issues. There was so much to this story that was full of heart and emotion! It is a rare read, and a delightful/powerful one!

This book as I have said was an emotional ride for me, some feels were nice and cute, others were tears flowing down my face, especially with Jared and his father, and others were just feeling of, well hope. I enjoyed this book and all sides/aspects that it brought on respectively. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend this must read novel to everyone that comes across it! Loved this amazing book!

A five-star read that will embrace you and make you feel complete. This is number three in the Thrill of the Chase series and its like the cherry on the top of an ice-cream Sunday, it just makes the whole thing so much better. Jared broke my heart, his passion for music and his farther were just sublime and showed on the page, you could feel his emotions pouring out. Everything he has been through, just made sense at every point of the story, he stays true to his promise and broke me. Cookie well cookie is a sweet and strong as the food her nickname is after, strong like a biscotti, but sweet like a chocolate chip. Madison and the sense of love for those in her care, showed what a difference a good care giver can bring to peoples lives. It was odd as I was having a total am I on the right path moment and reading about Madison and her passion, re-ignited mine, showing me why my role is so important. This author is one of those that makes you stop and think when you see their name on a novel, they make you want to drop everything to start reading.

This is a tremendous book! The emotions you feel while reading it. Yes, Jared is a rock star but he is also a son looking out for his father. What a beautiful and well-written story. You have the challenges with romance between him and his father’s nurse. There are also the feelings as he comes to terms with his father’s aging. I can find my myself relating to the characters and how they are feeling with the issues they are dealing with. This book is original, romantic and still one-of-a-kind. The plot was amazing because it flowed so smoothly back and forth from the rock band to his dealings with the nurse and the nursing home. Little Shay was my absolute favorite. The heartstrings get tugged and you just can’t help but love this story. Give it a shot. I highly recommend. It would get more than a 5 if I could give it.

I highly highly recommend this series to anyone looking for a Rockstar romance read, these guys are some of my absolute favourites! This series should be read in order for reader enjoyment!

I was taken on such a journey with this emotional romance, from heart break, to laughter, to surprise, to feeling fully invested, to the heart-warming moments in between, it really was a full circle kind of story.

I love how this author writes with so much detail, leaving nothing to the imagination, I felt so invested in this story and in these characters lives, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything played out after all the tears were shed.

I cannot wait to read more of this amazing series asap!!

This is a rockstar romance and is part of A Thrill Of The Chase series. I loved the author attention to detail and how the characters are written in a way that makes them relatable. Both of the main characters are strong determined people who have their own minds and plans. The story is fast paced and has you hooked from the beginning.

Jared is a member of the band. The band is his whole life. The only other thing more important to him that his band is his dad.
With his dad in care Jared struggles with worry about whether his father is getting the best care. When the person who is supposed to following his instructions doesn’t do that Jared is looking to get rid of her.
The interactions between Jared and Madison especially at the beginning are full of angst as they both want the same thing. Jared wants his dad looked after and Madison wants to care for him the best she can.
It is important for Jared to honour a promise he made and that is his main focus, but when he meets Madison things change. Will they be able to work together to achieve something they both want?
As their relationship grows you are taken on a ride that will leave you in tears from both heartbreak and happiness. I was completely taken away with this story and the author’s writing really captives you and drags you into their lives.

This is an author that I have enjoyed from the first book I picked up of hers. I enjoy her writing style as well as her attention to details. She pulls me into her stories from the beginning. This book is no different. This is a rockstar romance story that I really enjoyed. The characters are relatable and brought the story to life. I enjoyed their growth as well as the growth of the plot throughout the story. The characters’ chemistry is great and made them entertaining to read about. This is a story about a guitarist that is part of a band that means everything to him except for his father. He is one person that is more important and not only that but a promise has been made that he needs to keep. Then he meets her and things change for them. The one thing he never expected was to have her come into his life. What happens next you will have to read this book to find out. They are great characters that made the story for me. It is a fast paced, engaging story that I highly recommend.

Anna Paige is the author of the Broken series, the Thrill of the Chase series, and several sexy standalones including Off Script, Holding Out for You, and Tailspin (A Driven World Novel.)

She lives in a rural town in North Carolina where the only activity is the rhythmic color change of the solitary stoplight and a very real threat of being carried away by mosquitoes. The only alternative to terminal boredom is writing, making life interesting if only on the page.

Anna is happily married, with one amazing son and a rescue pup who seems to be part boxer, part goat, and part dingo–but he sure is fun. When she’s not writing, she’s trying to make a dent in her TBR pile. Given that she’s constantly adding new titles to the list, the chances of her ever finishing are slim.

And she’s completely fine with that.

Holding Out for You by Anna Paige

I don’t know why Ms. Paige isn’t on top of my go to authors but I’m going to fix that. This is not the first book I have read by her where I got so sucked into the story I lost track of time. I was up way too late reading on a work night, but I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen between Blair and Ashton.

This story takes you through every possible emotion. I laughed several times, cried couple of times, was horrified, happy, relieved, worried and most of those feelings were just the first few chapters.

I loved the dynamic between Ashton, Becker, Blair and Charli. All of them grew up together. The guys have been best friends since they were six and Blair being Becker’s little sister and Charli being her best friend means the girls were always around the boys.

Loved the way it ended. I usually feel like there is something missing at the end of books and keep hoping there will be additional books in the series but I don’t feel that way this time. As much as I loved everyone I’m happy with the ending. She tied up the loose ends up perfectly for me, though I wouldn’t be too upset if this group showed up again in the future.

So incredibly good! Holding Out For You is a novel written by Anna Paige. It’s a big brother’s best friend romance and one that I have fallen in love with. It is a definite rollercoaster of emotion that is mixed with a whole of serious and a whole lot of sweet. Blair has been in love with her big brother’s best friend Ashton for a long time. Longer than she would like to admit. Ashton is in the same boat. Neither one wants to admit it to each other or anyone else. Coincidentally, Blair’s best friend Charli is also in love with Blair’s big brother Becker. But everyone knows that. What everyone doesn’t know is if Becker returns that love or not. Everything comes out to the open when Blair is set up on a blind date to Becker’s party and Blair is attacked. That’s when Ashton decides he needs to step up. This book is very intense. Intense in the sense that it’s emotional and also in the sense that it is quite steamy. There are numerous scenes where Blair and Ashton get hot and heavy. This is book also talks about sensitive subjects. However, this book is a book that I would recommend to anyone! I was quite surprised with this one and cannot wait to read the next one!

Holding Out for You by Anna Paige was a great 5 star read.

We start with Blair and her friend going to a party. Blair’s friend has set her up on a blind date that is a total bust, he is not the guy for her. She gets a call from her brother to go get his best friend Ashton. The man that has done nothing but torment her through the years.

At the party she ditches the date and hangs with her friends. Ashton crashes for a quick conversation with Blair and ends up leaving with a little bit of jealousy on the brain. Why is he jealous? Just a few more short pages into the book these two admit their feelings for each other. There is a twist and we get an even better story.

We get several POV’s in the book which I really enjoyed. All of the characters were great.
The author does a great job of pulling you right into the story. The chemistry between Blair and Ashton was great, they were made for each other. I would love to see a book come from some of the other characters in this one. If you’re looking for a great read, 1-click and get started today.

This book was a 5 plus read and had me hooked from the very beginning. I found myself staying up late at night to get a few more pages in. Blair is one of the main characters and she has a special love / hate relationship with her older brothers best friend Ashton. They have known each other for over a decade. Blair has been hiding her feelings for Ashton for years and Ashton has been hiding his feelings for her for years also. Is it worth ruining a relationship with his best friend ? What will happen when Blair goes to college? There were to many things to worry about so everyone kept their crushes hidden well until one night at a beach party.
A lot happens at the beach party and something’s won’t be easy to forget.
I really loved this book and cannot wait for more. These characters were all Loveable and the story was completely relatable. You definitely won’t be disappointed when you read this book.

Ashton and Blair have been in each other’s lives since childhood. Ashton is Blair’s older brother’s best friend so he’s always been around. Sometimes, Ashton made it pretty easy for Blair to hide her true feelings. No way was she going to let her tormentor know she felt anything other than disdain. Ashton knows how to push Blair’s buttons. He knows how to challenge her and he wants so much more than that from her. It’s about time he lets her know. Will these two continue to pretend or have they just been holding out this whole time?

The only bad thing about this book is that it ended. As soon as I started reading, I was in deep. There is some unexpected turns in the book and I didn’t see them coming but everything was so well written!

Holding Out for You is the first book that I have read by this author and I loved it! It kept me turning page after page and I couldn’t get enough. This was a new adult story that I thought was well written and the characters were awesome and it was so full emotion, love… and you guessed it, a little bit of hate…
Ashton and Blair are the main characters and they grew up being around each other but they didn’t like each other at all. They loathed each other. But now they’re all grown up and thing are different. An attraction seems to have sparked between the two of them but that doesn’t make the hatred disappear from all those years ago. The banter and humor of this story were the best and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen between them next. I am looking forward to reading more by this author and I would recommend this to anyone that loves romance!
Happy Reading!

Holding Out for You by Anna Paige

Seriously, this is a book I couldn’t put down for long. I had to finish it within a couple days even if it meant less sleep!

Becker and his best friend Ashton have been best buds as long as anyone can remember. Becker’s little sister Blair has always considered Ashton to be a thorn in her side. One very eventful night, things start to change…

The best part of this book is the relationships and interactions between the 2 groups of best friends – Blair/Charli and Becker/Ashton that continues from childhood to young adults. As the 4 of them process and struggle through the life changing event, their bond gets even stronger! The story is so captivating you can’t help but wish it would last forever.

This is the first book I’ve read by Anna Paige and I can’t wait to read the rest.

Holding Out for You
by Anna Paige

I absolutely LOVED this book!! I started reading this book before bed and my husband wakes up as the sun is coming up, turns and looks at me and I’m still reading, he just shakes his head at me. I could not put this book down, I was completely drawn in. I fell in love with Ash, Blair, Charli, and Becker, their relationships made me laugh and cry and everything in between. Even some of the other characters like Ash’s mom and stepdad, Beck and Blair’s parents, made this story have that many more layers. Watching in my mind’s eye Blair and Ash’s relationship grow and change from childhood to adulthood, from picking on each other relentlessly to trying to figure out what their relationship is now was awesome. One night changes everything for Blair and the rest of them and I thought the author wrote about this difficult situation very well. If I could give this book more than five stars I would. This is a must read and I know this will be a book I will reread multiple times. I highly recommend this book.
