NEW RELEASE GIVEAWAY
Chasing Chelsea
By CC Wood
IS LIVE!
He gets under my skin like no one else.
Landen is successful, wickedly intelligent, and handsome. And he knows it. The man is arrogance personified.
I admire his brains, almost as much as I admire his body. Too bad he's such a jerk. I've had enough of men like him and I ’ll do whatever it takes to keep my distance.
Then he kissed me...
Now, we can't keep our hands off each other and I'm discovering there is so much more to Landen Weber. I'm falling for him, hard and fast. But he hasn't told me the truth about his past, and lies by omission are still lies.
I know how this will end, and I won't let him break my heart, even if it means walking away. But Landen has something else in mind and he's not going to give up.
Even if he has to chase me every step of the way.

***
This was a pretty good book. Chasing Chelsea is Chelsea and Landon's story. Chelsea works for a company where Landon is a client and friend of her boss. When he comes in the office, Chelsea is annoyed by his confident, playful personality. She doesn't really like him, but he does like her. Landon begins to pursue her, starting at her boss's wedding to one of Chelsea's best friends. They find they have good chemistry and Chelsea realizes she doesn't really dislike Landon like she thought. They begin to spend time together and fall for each other.
I have read and enjoyed some of Ms. Wood's paranormal books, but this is the first contemporary I have read of hers'. I liked it, but maybe not quite as much as her paranormal books. I found the writing style a little different. There is a lot of detail on every little thing the characters do and I found the book felt a bit long. I also found their speech a little non-realistic.
It took me a little while to get used to Chelsea's personality and come to like her. I think she is supposed to be feisty and sassy. She really is abrasive, which she even admits. She was rude to Landon and seemed to dislike him for no reason at first. He annoyed her, but I didn't understand why. I found her to be negative and unpleasant in the beginning. She also admitted to playing games with him. But after she began spending time with him, Chelsea mellowed out a bit. I liked Landon. He was a sweetheart who was amused by her personality and really liked her long before she ever realized it. The two of them do bicker a good bit, but it is in a playful way.
The story was interesting and entertaining. I liked that the couple got together fairly quickly and much of the book was about how their relationship progressed. Their relationship development was pretty natural. I thought they were a good match. The big conflict kind of came out of nowhere and wrapped up a little too close to the end. Still, I did enjoy Landon and Chelsea's story. I like Chelsea's friends and want to go back and read their stories too.
Overall, this was an entertaining read! I enjoyed seeing Chelsea and Landon's relationship develop and I look forward to more from Ms. Wood in the future!
