Kari's 4-Star Review of Chasing Gracie by Emily R Pearson









                             Summary:
Gracie Hart hasn’t had an easy life. With her parents gone and her young-love-turned-husband murdered, she’s left feeling broken and alone. When tragedy reunites her with the men she called family, she finds herself starting to feel whole once again. That is until her relationship with Chase Baker starts to develop into more than something her shaky world can handle. His offer of a fresh start is too tempting to turn down. As she discovers this new world of possibilities, the sparks from long ago turn into a raging fire. And as she knows all too well, fires that burn that hot, burn out quickly. Is she ready to lose herself in someone else after she’s fought so hard to put the pieces back together? Or will she find that sometimes, when you’re broken, recovery isn’t always a matter of when, but rather who?



What I Loved: 
Gracie loses her way, her husband, and the only real dream she has had. Gracie is no stranger to heartache and loss and this makes her grieving, so much more relatable after her husband passes at such a young age.  She finds her way back to as much of herself as she can with the help of her 2 best friends. I adore Gracie’s heart and how she makes sure those friends, Chase and Ryan, are okay and are comforted. Their friendship is deep and holds a ton of history going back to when they were kids. They know each other…or do they?



Chase is a steady force for Gracie and holds his dreams to his chest when it comes to her. He really offers her this better life then what she is living and he is a driving force in her finding the “who” to help her be whole again. 

I don’t want to give too much away, but the twist at the end, and the ending in general leaves this story open for more and I am telling you now Ms. Pearson…WE WANT MORE!!!!! 

What I didn’t Love:

Gracie’s language lacked a bit for me. I know not everyone has a potty mouth like me, but I was really waiting for her to say F@#k. It’s not that she was old and grew up in a different time, she was young and could have cursed a bit more. (Am I being picky? And Ms. Pearson, don’t hate me!)



Overall:

A refreshing read with some real “OH NO SHE DIDN’T” moments of plot twists. I knew this read would be something I needed to read. I recommend this to all the romantic suspense readers and lovers out there. And Ms. Pearson, I want more. Keep writing! I look forward to your next story!!!
