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

Embracing Jared is the third book in the Thrill of the Chase series. I absolutely loved reading this book and found myself crying to the point of ugly crying a couple times. I’m a huge fan of Rock Star Romance and this one tops the list. The author did a wonderful job and her style of writing and attention to detail simply amazes me. Her characters are relatable very well written and I love them all. I found myself lost in the pages and couldn’t put it down. This is Madison and Jared’s story. He’s a Rock Star and has worked very hard to get where he’s at. He’s already lost so much along the way and is now trying to provide care for the only way he can. Madison is a caregiver and RN and cares for patients whose famlies seem to have forgotten about. She’s found herself in a situation with her current patient who has a son that wants daily updates through email she might have just lost her job. These two goodness gracious their chemistry is off the charts. Can Jared let Madison continue to care for his dad? Will Madison loose her heart along with everything because of him? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. Get ready to be taken on quite the emotional rollercoaster ride. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve been on a holiday book kick these past months and this book has been one of my favorites. Amber is so funny and relatable. especially if Christmas isn’t your favorite. Gio is the Grandson of a local Italian store owner who is everyone’s Nona. Gio is a total heartthrob and from the moment he was introduced I was hooked. I highly recommend this novella. Curl up in a cozy blanket by the fireplace with some hot cocoa and crack open this wonder winter love story.

As usual with this author i loved this novella. I always say i want more even if its hundreds of pages but this one i really did want more but also this was perfect for this story. I did need to wipe a few tears away but this really got me more into the holiday spirit and to appreciate the family and traditions we seem to take for granted. I absolutely loved this story and this town this author has constructed.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a cute Christmas story! Amber has a complicated past that has made her want to avoid Christmas, which is difficult to do in festive Cold Creek. Giovanni moved to Cold Creek to take over his grandmother’s restaurant and make a home for his daughter. When Giovanni meets Amber, he is determined to change her feelings about the holidays.

I love feel good stories. Amber, Giovanni, and the people they are surrounded by are perfectly painted and easy to fall in love with! Their stories are built well and just complex enough to make them relatable. I was sucked right into Cold Creek and before I knew it, the book was ending and I was left wanting more. The ending made me cry happy tears!

My two favourite things Christmas and romance, so of course I was not going to miss out on giving this a read and I am glad I did I loved it. It is a proper heart warming Christmas read. Gio is a single dad and he loves Christmas he is about to take over his family’s cafe so he has up and moved him and his daughter to Cold creek for a fresh start. Then there’s Amber she absolutely hates Christmas and everything about it. But can Gio warm her icy heart for the holidays. They were so cute together it makes me swoon.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It is always a privilege to read a story as good as this one. I never get sick of reading a love story that is hard fought and colourful. This Christmas sizzler was steamy, engaging and incredibly touching. Amber and Giovanni are polar opposites and there were many confrontations and laughs throughout the book. The chemistry was palpable and the incredible twist on words was addictive and very swoon worthy. Playing hard to get is one thing I love to read about. Witnessing them succumb to Cupid’s arrow is both stimulating and arousing. It touches a very deep place in the heart and proves that love really does come in all forms and packaging. 5 stars.

This was a fantastic Christmas read, absolutely perfect for this time of year! This is the fifth book in the Reigning Hearts series and in saying that I feel like this book can be read as a standalone as I was able to jump right in.

I love how the author managed to pull me in right from the start with these wonderfully complex characters, their story is at times heart breaking but overall left me feeling all kinds of emotions, and truly happy with how it all played out.

If you are looking for a quick Christmas read look no further, this is the book for you!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Having been dealing with dementia in my own family lately this novel hit deeply. At first I thought it would just be another feel good, bad boy meets good girl, good girl brings out true nature in bad boy which isn’t bad at all, but it is not. I did not read the first two books so I came in a little lost and although this can be a stand-alone book I wish I would have read them in order. Now I am going back and reading them again.
Another similarity in my life to this book is I am a nurse. I have been there with my patients when they don’t recognize their own children or when they tell you stories from their childhood as if they happened yesterday or when they cry out for someone they loved that has passed on but they no longer remember. I felt every moment of Madison’s journey. I think the way she handled Jared was exactly like she should have. When the children of your patients like to give orders, but keep their distance, most days you wish they were closer so you could slap some sense into them.
While this tale had it’s happy, feel good moments it had a deeper, stronger message. I laughed and I cried. I will be reading this one again!! Thank you to the author for putting out some amazing material.

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

4 out of 5 Stars

Madison Cole is a dedicated RN and caregiver. She cares about those that have seemingly been forgotten about by their families. This costs her a lot. It has cost her jobs, friends, and her supposed family. Madison has found herself in that same situation again. She cares very much about her current patient. And by telling off his son in an email that he demanded daily, she might have just lost another job.

Jared Shaw is a rock god. Jared has been at the top of the rock game for nearly a decade. It was hard getting there. He lost so much along the way, sort of including his last family member, his dad. Jared is caring for his dad the only way he knows how and following his dad’s wishes. When Madison calls him out in an email, Jared wants her head and her job. Jared slips into the facility where his father resides to take what he wants but is waylaid by a miracle.

Will Jared be able to handle allowing Madison to continue caring for his father? Will Madison lose everything, including her heart, because of Jared? Can Jared find peace with his dad before it is too late?

The author makes sure that you feel all the feels. When Madison is down, the sadness is real. When Mr. Christopher is happy, the elation is so high. When the heart breaks, it breaks for everyone….everyone!!! I am just joining this series. I can only hope that the others are this good. I couldn’t put this one down. Who needs sleep anyways.

Amber Tatum puts up the least amount of Christmas decorations in her bar that her employees with let her. Giovanni moves to town with his daughter to start fresh and take over his grandmother’s café. When Gio walks into Amber’s bar, they are instantly attracted to each other. This story made me giggle at times and made my eyes fill with tears at others. I was rooting for them from the beginning. Hoping Amber would be able to get over her past and enjoy Christmas again. Hoping Gio could love someone again after a divorce that left him raising an infant.
This was a very enjoyable read that makes me look forward to having my family around me for Christmas.

This is a cute little story. The story rolled along nicely and I liked the idea of it. I did struggle to connect to the characters. I almost felt they were a bit two dimensional and needed just a bit more to bring them to life.

While this is the fifth in the series it can easily be read as a stand alone. Its a classic story of a grumpus on Christmas who meets the holly jolly. How they meet, get along and who does the changing. I really liked Gio but felt that Amber is wishy washy and she overcame her issue too easily

This is a beautiful romance reminiscent of the tale of Scrooge. I love feel good romances especially this time of the year. This book will definitely pull on your heartstrings as it did mine, leaving me teary eyed several times.

Amber had a horrible childhood which leads her to hate the holidays but when Gio walks into her life, all that changes. Giovanni is a single dad that loves life and Christmas. He lights a spark that turns into a flame in Amber. After all the tragedies of her past, can Amber open up to him? Can the magic of Christmas bring them together?

This book is part of a series but can be read as a stand-alone. The characters are wonderful and the story will warm up your heart. A great story just in time for the holidays.

This is the perfect Christmas story…. it really had my emotions going up and down. This is Amber and Gio’s story, and though it was short it was so sweet. This whole series is amazing, but I was hoping Amber would get her story. It was definitely worth the wait. This is my favorite Christmas book this season. I was laughing out loud one minute and reaching for a tissue the next. A perfect blend of Sweet and Snappy!

This is the 3rd book in the Thrill of the Chase series. This is a Contemporary Romance novel and is 418 pages in length. I must admit, I do love rock star romance novels. To read this series, you might as well grab a drink, prop your feet up, and get ready for the long haul because this will have your emotions reeling. The characters were well thought out and relatable. All Jared wanted to do was a keep a promise to his dad. Then he met her, and his life changed.

Wow… this is so not your typical rockstar romance but it will literally blow your mind. I was crying and laughing and just all over the place emotionally as I read this book and it was a beautiful mess that I can’t wait to experience again someday soon. I love when a book is so good you want to dive right back in! This right here is one of those you will want to own and do just that with over and over again. I loved Jared. He makes you want to hug and hold him as he struggles to protect his father and his heart all at the same time. I am not going to tell you if he will get his happy ending or if he will make it through because I won’t ruin books for people but I will tell you DO NOT WAIT to buy this sucker and dive right in to find out for yourself. Get yourself something to drink and cozy up and prepare to be enamored with him as he traverses the hardest chapter of his life. We all go through this stage where we become the caretakers of our parents and that is never easy. This author has done a wonderful job of painting a realistic and beautiful picture of what that feels like and looks like and it shows in every word of this novel. Go grab your copy today!

The success of recipe always depends on the quality of your ingredients, and this small town snowy romance does not disappoint!! Well developed main characters, vibrant imaginings of small town somewhere and just enough background history to give the story realism. Sparks fly and develop into a steamy few scenes that add just enough spice to keep the reader interested! Handsome Italian chef Gio meets sassy pub owner Amber as Christmas gets into full swing, the hardest time of the year for Amber. If you’re looking for a couple to cheer for, look no further. I’ll be looking for more from this author!

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.

“A Cold Creek Christmas” by K.G. Fletcher is a heart-warming holiday romance story. Amber struggles with Christmas, and is just trying to get through the holiday season. She meets Gio, an amazing single dad who loves Christmas! When Amber meets Gio’s young daughter, Talia, she begins to open up to the idea of celebrating Christmas again. This book has amazing character development and was very enjoyable! It is the 5th book in the series, but is the first one that I have read. It can easily be read as a stand-alone novella.

A festive five-star read. I adore this author, and when I saw a Christmas story, it just made me smile so big. This is steamy but sweet and has some really comedic moments that just made the characters so believable, relatable and human. This was quick paced and such a great story, that once you start it, you won’t be able to stop. This is number five in the Reigning Hearts series, but they can all be read as stand-alone.

This is book three of the series and can be read as a standalone. If you want a better understanding of the other characters and their bond, you should read the first two books. I didn’t and wish I would have.

Jared has expectations for his father’s care and when he feels that Madison isn’t meeting those he decides to confront her in person. He doesn’t expect to find his father being well taken care of and even talking! That really is the start of his intrigue with Madison. Madison is so caring and passionate. Jared isn’t perfect and I love that he isn’t portrayed as some rock god.

I really enjoyed these characters. Madison is sweet but she’ll put you in your place quicker than you would think. Jared has his demons and struggles but at the core of him he cares so much about his family. This was such a great book to read!

Sensitive and emotional
This was a very well written contemporary romance that embraces a very sensitive issue in a heartfelt way. The author shows the good, the bad and the ugly side in a very honest way. Even though this is the third book in the series, this is the first book I have read from this author. I didn’t feel lost at all but I am now very curious about the other members of the band. The characters are very easy to relate to. If you love rockstar romances, characters that are real, romance with a little bit of drama and a whole lot of feels, this is the book for you.

As far as rock star romances go, this is one immaculately written love story. From the first sentence I was ensnared. From the in-depth descriptions and the soul deep emotions that could be felt, I was captivated. A tale of a desperate love and what one person could mean to another. Family meant everything, and not all family are blood. The journey was rugged and rough. Their future hard fought. I felt so much reading their story. These characters possessed such strength and self belief. Determination and decadent loving, this story is firmly entrenched in the memory bank. A fabulously entertaining tale that bewitched and consistently amazed me. 5 stars.

This book pulled at my heartstrings from the very beginning. Jared has been through so much with his bandmates and family. Losing his mom and sister, he only has his father left. He wants the best care for his father who’s health is going downhill. Jared has a speech impediment which made me love him even more for his imperfection. His father’s new caregiver, aka “cookie”, starts off on the wrong foot. Jared picks up and goes for his first visit in a couple months, with the intent to send her packing. At first meeting, she is not what Jared expected and he sees how much she cares for his dad.
This was the third book in the series but can be read as a standalone, I didn’t feel like I had missed anything as this is the first book I have read. Can Jared keep his dad protected? Will Jared and Cookie find their way to each other?

This was a really good book! The writing and storyline were immersive and I easily lost myself in this book. This was interesting because I’ve never read a book about a music star with a stutter, and I really enjoyed that. Madison was sassy which I loved so much. Sassy characters are some of my favorites! This was an amazing read all around emotional to read as well. This series I feel can be read as a standalone, since this is the first book of it I’ve read and I didn’t feel like I missed anything. I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future!

There is so much to say about this book. It grabs you from the start and you just want to forget about everything and get to the end of this wonderful love story. What better romance than between a nurse and a rock star. A rock star who actually has a heart and will do anything for his ailing father. This book touches me on so many levels. I work in the healthcare field and I know what depths family members do to make sure that their loved one is being taken care of. I also know what it’s like to deal with sick family members so this book gave me all the feels. This is book 3 in a series and I have never read the other two but that is okay as this series works well as a stand alone, but I will definitely be reading the others!

This book was just simply amazing. This author really knows how to write amazing and realistic characters, and she puts so much heart and soul into them that you really feel all of the emotions that they are going through. This book will take you on a wild emotional ride and I would gladly sit through it again. There were times that u laughed, times that my eyes watered, and times that I bawled my eyes out but still couldn’t stop reading. But I really felt for these characters, for the things they had to go through and just life in general. Full of romance, drama, chemistry, family, and of course several emotions this romance story has everything a romance reader could ask for. While it can be read as a standalone I highly recommend reading them all as this author is just simply amazing and her characters are superb.

This Christmas novella will fill you with hope and cheer, even to those who are a little grinch during the holiday season. Amber, the local pub owner, and Gio, new to town single father, brought some spiciness and heartwarming moments to this sweet holiday story. Every time I read a book by this author, I know that I will enjoy every word she writes. Gio’s daughter Talia might have stolen my heart a few times. While reading I felt like I was sitting on a cozy couch watching a romantic holiday movie.

This was a great rock star romance read with a great storyline, great characters and great pace and flow. It was a really enjoyable read. I absolutely adored Jared, he was not at all who I was expecting when I first started the story, the dept of love and care his shows towards his father had me emotional at times. The interaction between him and Madison definitely had that school ground kind of behaviour and I knew that there was something there between them! There was definitely a good deal of angst between them which definitely transpired into chemistry! I really enjoyed reading their story – it was certainly emotional at times!
A great read and one that I highly recommend!
