Narrator: On August 5, 2018, Katerina peacefully finished The Chase. She went to the beach, she was sunburned and ended up looking like a roasted Thanksgiving turkey, she ate seafood with the light summer breeze rustling her hair, and life was simply perfect. Until she got a summons to the Prosecutor's office. *light knock on the door*Prosecutor: *without lifting his head* Come in, Miss Katerina.Me: How did you know it was me?Prosecutor: It was the smell that gave you away.Me: Smell?Prosecutor...

Why did I even bother?...On the other hand I learned some new shades of TSTL-ishness or was it desperate patheticness??..

4 stars Elle Kennedy is one of my favorite new adult authors, so when I saw she was coming out with a new series, I couldn't wait. I was especially excited when I heard the hero would be Fitzy- AKA Collin Fitzgerald. Fitzy is a character from her Off-Campus series, but it's not necessary to read those first (even though you should because they're EPIC).Summer Heyward-Di Laurentis is Dean's little sister. She's beyond wealthy and is starting a new school. Briar. Due to some unfortunate choices...

The Chase is book one in the new series, Briar U by Elle Kennedy. This is a new adult spin off from her Off Campus series which I have not read. I don’t feel, though, that not having read the other series took away from this book at all. Summer De Laurentis comes from a wealthy family. Yes she likes her designer clothes and yes she doesn’t mind some of the advantages her life has afforded her. But she also wants to be seen for who she is. Summer is starting her second semester of her Junior year...

5 STARS because I read this in one day. 5 STARS because I never wanted it to end. 5 STARS because I just lost myself in this novel. 5 STARS because it has the sweetest romance. 5 STARS because Summer is the ultimate, the best. 5 STARS because Fitzy just STOLE my heart. 5 STARS because it's hot as fuck. 5 STARS because when it comes to New Adult books, Elle Kennedy just RULES. There's nothing better. 5 STARS because this book reminded me why I love reading romance. It was fresh and fun, swoony an...

ARC provided to me by the author in exchange for an honest review.#1.) The Deal ★★★★#2.) The Mistake ★★★#3.) The Score ★★★★#4.) The Goal ★ “I feel like too many girls fail to remember one vital truth: we deserve someone who gives us one hundred percent. Half-assed effort isn’t effort. Half-assed love isn’t love.” Elle Kennedy and her steamy hockey romances are back. And, like, what a damn blessing. This is the happiest I’ve been reading a book all damn year. These new characters comple...

I can’t even begin to tell you guys how long I’ve been waiting for this book to happen. 😭 So it’s safe to say that my expectations were really high. Out of all the stories I’ve been dying to read, Summer and Fitzy definitely take the cake. Unfortunately, and it pains me to say this, but... it fell a little short for me.It was the slowest burn of slow burn romances. We don’t get much action until 70 percent or so in. And after waiting for so long for this book to be written already, I was honestl...

➳Wanting and chasing for what he cannot have, Fitzy finds himself enamored and enthralled with what is the sunshine that radiates from Summer in this compelling college romance... ➳Everyone who knows me, knows that my love for anything that is Elle Kennedy is immense. Especially when it comes down to the Briar boys that captivated my heart back in 2015 with their unique mindsets and creative personas. My god did I miss all my Briar boys and all their perspective partners. Thankfully Elle has

MY REVIEW can also be found on my blog: KITTY KATS CRAZY ABOUT BOOKS THE CHASE: Is the first full length New Adult novel in ‘Elle Kennedy’s ‘Briar U #1’ A spin off from the Off Campus Series. Spoken in 'Dual Perspectives' ➽ Fitzy is short for Colin Fitzgerald, and he just happens to be THE UNICORN.The tall, sexy, tattooed, hockey-playing unicorn of a man who I might have a teeny-weeny-itsy bitsy crush on.Okay, fine.A big motherfucking crush on..Summer Di Laurentis is

I usually love Elle Kennedy, but The Chase was boring. Yes, boring.I listened to this in audio, and 8 days later I was still forcing myself to continue. I'm obsessed with Jacob Morgan (his narrations are gold and his voice is perfection!), but CJ Bloom always irks me. Her voice sounds so cartoony to me, so of course that didn't help my enjoyment of the story. However, the plot and the characters also fell flat. I'm over, over!, these model-perfect characters. Super firm asses on female character...

*I received a copy of this book from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review.* ❝ I don't want to be with a woman who hides in the shadows with me, because that enables me to keep hiding. And that's what I've done for years—hidden pieces of myself from my parents, my friends, chicks, the world. I want someone who encourages me to step out of my comfort zone, and Summer is that someone.❞ THE BRIAR UNIVERSITY BOYS ARE BACK...... AND SO IS THE QUEEN OF COLLEGE ROMANCE! To

3.5 stars I love Elle Kennedy and I have loved almost everything she’s ever written. When I heard she was coming out with a new book that she wrote alone I was beyond excited and when the arc landed on my kindle I dived in right away. I loved Summer as a main character, she had such spark and personality and such life. Kennedy’s writing style is also something I love because I could fall effortlessly into the story. Reading her books never feels like work and I love the world she’s built in the

we stan a fucking blonde, woke, feminist, ADHD legendgod this was so much fun. i've been struggling to read for a few weeks now and i think this was just what the doctor ordered to get me out of my slump. a fun, surprisingly feminist new adult from the lovely elle kennedy.this story followed fun, blonde, perky, fashion major: summer. i feel like in every single new adult book i've read there's a character like summer. but she's the "other woman" or "that slut at the bar." that's totally not the

Meh. The potential substance this book had was squandered.

idk if it’s because i’m sick of this genre because i’m a mood reader but ugh i wanted to fall head over heals for this book don’t get me wrong i enjoyed it throughly, especially the characters. Fitz was a refreshing character to read about. i enjoyed reading about an introverted nerdy character who also so happens to be very fuckable. there’s something so adorable and cute about reading characters like Fitz. makes me tingly.I liked Summer a lot, especially reading her inner dialogue. she’s super...

3 StarsOverall Opinion: I'll admit it...My name is Jenny, and I have an addiction for college athlete stories! After reading Elle Kennedy's Off Campus series, I knew I had to jump right in with this book and start off a new series. I didn't hate it at all, but I just sadly didn't love it or even like it as much as most of the books in that other series. I think it had the potential to be a lot deeper. Especially with Summer's learning disability and Fritz's parental issues. I just felt like it

*****FOUR STARS*****{ARC Generously Provided by Author}I have been dying to read the latest by Elle Kennedy. Sports romances with hockey players are high up on my list of favorites and the ”OFF CAMPUS” series is still my most beloved of Elle Kennedy’s works. THE CHASE, the first installment of ”BRIAR U” was missing the comedic flair I’ve come to expect from this author's sports romances. The “MeToo” movement was very much an influence in this plot, but not only does Elle focus on the way women a...

4 STARS She brings out a growly, primal side of me I hadn’t known existed until she showed up and started driving me batshit crazy. And…I frickin’ love it. Opposites attract in this brand new spin-off series and I frickin' loved it! See what I did there? Alright, that was entirely too cheesy but I simply couldn't resist. As much as I loved Dean in The Score, I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I'd love his younger sister, Summer. She's a heroine that instantly jumps from the pages...

This is probably one of the most difficult reviews that I have to write this year. For one, 3-star reviews are always difficult to write. And two, I love everything Elle Kennedy writes except this one. I didn't dislike it or hate it. I just didn't LOVE it even though I was expecting to.The Chase is the first book from Kennedy's new Briar U series. If the name of the series sounds familiar to you, it should since it's the spin off of her popular and widely loved Off-Campus series. This book i
