Mini Review
Chasin' You was a quick read for me. The story is mostly told in the present time, but there are scenes from the past to help establish the main characters' strong friendship and bond. I thought this was beneficial to the story, as it helped the reader to feel the depth of their connection. However, I wasn't sold on the romantic love between the MCs, Joey, and Adam. I found myself rooting for her to stay with her actor boyfriend, Bennett.
TW/CW: "Safety-" both MCs are with other partners while just friends (until about 80-85% into the book). On page sexual content with other people.
Car accident/death of a parent (off page; past)

About the Author
I [Teri Kay] am an obsessive romance reader turned writer. An amazing group of indie writers have inspired and encouraged me to pursue this crazy dream and now I can’t imagine stopping. Born and raised, I have always lived in Southern California. I am happily married, with two small fur babies. I love my job as a teacher and wouldn’t want to do anything else. Except maybe be a full time writer. Between reading, writing, and teaching, I have little free time. But in those rare moments I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, binge watching reality television and baking.
