Loving the Chase (Heart of the Storm)
Sharla Lovelace
Contemporary Romance






Book Description

Charming, adventurous Zach Chase has always craved the spotlight, and now he’s on the hunt for publicity for his family’s storm-chasing business. So when a reality TV network approaches him with the idea for a show profiling their work, he can’t resist. But the last person he expects to walk into the meeting is the former love of his life.

Production assistant Maddi Hayes was once engaged to Zach—until she was almost killed by a tornado he was out chasing. She walked away from her fiancĂ© and their future together, convinced she’d always come second to his dangerous career.

Dreading the show and anxious over working so closely with Zach, Maddi also knows this project could mean big things for her career. If only Zach weren’t still so infuriating…and so infuriatingly sexy. Can they finally let go of their stormy past? Or will the passion still raging between them win in the end?

 My Review


This is a book full of hope, love, lost, learning, overcoming, dealing with, support, chasing your dreams and losing love because of your dreams. The author gives you a very heart touching read with two people who love so much one left behind the other could not live with the danger of his job. It seems like yesterday that Zach watched love walk away when she returns it feels so right like there hasn’t been years since he last saw her. The sparks fly as they met again each remembering the past and how it was, their love so strong the one thing that tore them apart was he couldn’t give up the chase.

Zack has been chasing storms almost since he was in diapers, his father was a storm chaser who raised all his kids to the thrill of adventure, the excitement, the rush of danger as they chase storms and gather information to help those around them stay safe. He found the love of his life everything was great until that one day when she looked at him with a suitcase in her hand and said I can’t take this anymore and left. It tore his world apart and left him empty as years pass he keeps his heart locked up with one nightstands in hopes someday she might come back. When a reality TV network approaches him with the idea for a show featuring his family chasing storms Zack is thrilled. When he goes in for talks and in walks his past he is floored. The attraction is still as strong as it always was. Can he do this show, keep his heart, and be able to walk away from her or is this his second chance to have the women he loves.

Maddi found the love of her life when on the most important day her fiancĂ© was out chasing storms. When the tornado hit she was left alone sure she was going to die. When Zack pulled her out of their destroyed home she said I can’t take this anymore gets in her car and starts a new life. There isn’t a day that goes by she doesn’t miss him. No other man can compare to the man or the love she has for Zack. When one call puts her right back in the middle of her past that she is trying to outrun coming face to face with Zack and his family. Is this a second chance at love or will she always take second place to The Chase.

The author gives you wonderful characters you can relate with an outstanding plot. As you read you feel you are in the storm and see it played out before your eyes. My heart really did beat faster when they was trying to outrun the tornado. I found I was flipping the pages to see the outcome. This is really a pretty fast pace read that pulls you in at times keeping your heart in your throat as they chase the stormy weather and the storms in their heart. I really like all the characters there isn’t one I didn’t care for each character adds so much to the story that you want to know more about each one. I would have to agree with Maddi and would have left like she did, being in and outliving a tornado is mind blowing. Knowing the man you love does this as a living is hard to live with. The grandmother tries to show a harder side of herself but she really is just a marshmallow it seem she keeps her cards close to her chest not giving away all that she has planned for her family. She keep me smiling with her sassy ways. Each brother has a story to tell as we will see in the upcoming books. I can’t wait to see what Eli deal is and if Hannah gets her hearts desire. I wonder if the brother who walked away if he will come back with his family. I know it must be hard for him to be single parent. The next story is going to be able Quinn and Simon they have been dancing around each other it will be interesting to see what is in store for them. I loved how the author brought Eil around to their way of thinking in return giving Maddi a chance to voice her feeling for Zack. This is really an emotional read in so many ways. The author gives you a well written wonderfully told story of the one who got away, bring them together for a second chance not only with each other but with their family. When you walk away from someone you walk away from the love of their family and friends. The author shows how that affects everyone, it isn’t always easy to forgive or forget when your heart is on the line.

This is one book I would enjoy reading again it really touched me bring me laughter and smiles. This is somewhat of a normal family (well normal families do not chase tornadoes) with normal issues. People you can relate to as you watch them go through heartbreak, sorrow, reaching out to each other to live another days. If you are looking for a read that will keep your attention, that is fast pace, with action, thrills than pick up “Loving The Chase” you will not be disappointed.
