***5 Stars***
Hello roller coaster of emotions…and, no, I’m not just saying that to say it…this baby goes big. I laughed, snort laughed, rolled my eyes so much they, got whiplash AND got all kinds of teary eyed and sniffly (that last one does not happen often) and am pleasantly surprised to say that I enjoyed it all.
Now, I know saying that I’m surprised I enjoyed the book can make one go wha? But, I have a good reason…that reason is I did not like Chase in Chicks, Man. Like…AT. ALL. He was a NOPE with lots of exclamation points following it, but now? He is still a bit OTT for my liking, but I can say I love the guy. And Bridget? She was all kinds of sweet and snarky. She has her demons that she needs to work through, but she has moxie and I just liked the girl.
As for the journey to their HEA. It was a crazy rollercoaster of a ride. Both have their own issues to work through and all that, but they had a great flow and just worked well together for me. As for the bumps, there were many, not gonna lie and when the big one drops, it wasn’t a surprise ~ cringe worthy, yes ~ but not a surprise, but the “reconciliation” was definitely not one I saw coming, but it worked and I’m happy they got everything worked out.
This book is a crazy ride (I’ve said that a few times already) but it’s true. It’s got a little bit of everything and then some. There are some situations that some may find triggering, but they are all apart of the growth and evolution of Chase and Bridget individually and as a couple. But it was fun to catch up with Levi and Hannah and Kip and Stacey, and I hope we get more of Jonathan and Anna at some point down the road, but it looks like Ben (who I like) is up on the chopping block next and it looks like it’s gonna be another crazy ride.

CHASE
Hit it and quit it.
That’s always been my motto. Falling in love is for chumps and I vow to never go down that road again. So, when a bombshell blonde approaches me at the bar looking to hook up, I am more than willing to oblige.
One night is my limit, but after our night of passion, I would change my rules for another round with her. Shame, the only proof she even existed is the lingering scent of cherries and the damn smile I can’t get rid of.
Or so I thought.
BRIDGET
Losing the love of your life puts your whole world into perspective, especially when the one man who is supposed to protect you is the very man who took it all away. I’m done feeling betrayed. From now on I make the rules. And currently, my eyes are set on the tan, muscular, guy sitting at the bar. I don’t know him. He doesn’t know me. One night together is exactly what I need.
But when I open the front door to my cousin's house, and I see him standing on the other side...that's the moment everything gets complicated.
