And that coming from me who i was shipping for Caleb and Livvie Dark Duet from the first page it has to mean something.. I will read the next book because i think it was just an awkward start and the authors have the potential to write something better and because it's the story of my fav character Kade.. View all 7 comments. BR with Jo and Sammy! I'll start off by saying that I didn't really know what to expect with this book or the series when the author Chantal Fernando contacted us through the blog with the opportunity to read and review a few of the books in the Resisting Love series, Chase being the 1st book.

It sounded interesting to me, but I just wasn't sure what I'd feel about it. I absolutely fell in love with this book and BR with Jo and Sammy! I absolutely fell in love with this book and in turn couldn't wait to read more of the series! When this book starts out Layla, a college freshman is looking for a place to live. She's checked out many places, and after many failed attempts at finding a place to live, she finds herself at a house where she decides to settle on a room that is for rent where she'll be living with 3 men.

She's first introduced to James when looking at the room for rent and later she meets Kade. They tell her that the 3rd man in the house isn't around very often. She develops a bond with James and Kade and they are very protective of Layla.

Chase (Resisting Love Series, Book #1) - BxtchesBeBlogging

James and Kade absolutely love having Layla living with them. Both men are playboys who are so protective of Layla that if any of the women that come around disrespect Layla, they kick them out. They don't tolerate anyone disrespecting Layla and want her to feel at home with them.

One morning she hears a voice, whom she assumes is the 3rd man that lives in the house, kicking the woman out that he had sex with. She still never meets him face to face and is told by Kade and James that because he's so rarely around, she'll probably not meet him. One night, Layla is out with her best friend and they go to a club, it's there that she meets a man named Chase.

There is an instant attraction between them and she ends up going home with him that night. When she wakes the next morning and walks out of Chase's bedroom, she discovers that she is at her own home. Now it all clicks into place for her and she realizes that Chase is the 3rd man living at the house!

Layla learns that Chase is Kade and James' half brother. Chase develops deep feelings for Layla, and Layla has deep feelings for Chase, so they decide to give their relationship a chance, much to Kade and James dismay. They are worried that Chase, being the man-whore that he is, will end up hurting Layla but what they don't realize is that for Chase, Layla is like no other woman he's ever met. I won't give away anymore of the story, I will say that Chase and Layla do have misunderstandings along the way and unfortunately for Layla, Chase's ex, Aubrey is determined to use hers and Chase's past to try to cause problems between Chase and Layla and try to get him back.

Throughout the book, there is hurt, deception, betrayal, hidden secrets, secrets revealed, shocking truths, major twists, unconditional love and so much more. There is also quite a bit of humor in this book, so you are never lacking something to chuckle about. I went into this book not knowing what to expect and came out of it wanting more of this series immediately AND I found myself a new book boyfriend in Chase Jackson!

I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who wants a dramatic love story with a bit of humor mixed in! I am SO thankful to Chantal Fernando for offering copies of several books in this series for Smexy Bookaholics to read and review! This is a book I absolutely loved and will absolutely read again in the future!

Some of my favorite quotes from this book: I don't like confrontation, and I don't like to fight. I don't like to get involved; I like my life drama free.

But that doesn't mean I won't fight back. I don't let anyone disrespect me. People tend to mistake my kindness for weakness. I will be different. I want you to trust me, to take a gamble on me.

She visited several potential rentals but all of them have been horrific so far. Resigning herself to the fact that she might not find a place to live close to the university, Layla drives to the last potential rental on her list. Thankfully, she likes the house and the potential roommate she meets so Layla moves in wit ARC provided by the authors in exchange for an honest review.

Thankfully, she likes the house and the potential roommate she meets so Layla moves in with Kade and James, two very attractive guys, and their mysterious landlord who is never home. Shortly after moving into the house, Layla and her best friend Nikki decide to go out dancing. While at the club, Layla locks eyes with Chase, a handsome and tatted guy with whom she has an instant spark with. He is surrounded by women. Chase eventually blows off the women vying for his attention and spends the night with Layla. After that night, he decides that he needs to claim Layla as his.

Their relationship isn't easy, however, obstacles from Chase's past keep threatening to push Layla away. Chase, James, and Kade. Even though all three of them are total man whores, their relationship with Layla was really sweet. There were times when I wish the authors had gone into more detail instead of ending the scene where they did. There were a few times that I couldn't figure out why she fell asleep, given what was going on around her. I can understand where they are coming from.

Layla finding a place to live, with three hot and very rich guys, who instantly like her and want to protect her is a little unbelievable. I also saw most of the drama coming before it even happened. Regardless of this, I still really enjoyed the story. It was entertaining, the characters made me laugh, and despite the predictability of the story, I couldn't stop reading because I wanted to see what happened next. Overall, this is a quick and fun read so I would give it 3. View all 21 comments.

BR with Sara and Sammy! I really enjoyed it A LOT! I have to say This book had the romance, drama, sex and at times had me laughing so hard I had tears running down my face.

At one point I was happy, the next I was sad and at some points I was fuming! I loved the relationship between her roommates, Kade and James.

Layla is sweet, funny and spirited. She has a fiery side too. All of which, I think, is a great combination in a lead female. Then comes Chase… sigh …and the man is smitten. He is a total alpha! Protective maybe even overprotective , loving and dominant…and seriously hot.

Chase - Resisting Love #1

Layla and Chase together are awesome but are dealt some serious bumps in the road. Will they be able to overcome them? Chase was a great read and a top debut novel the authors. I am in the serious minority but I stand by my review. The book was very rushed and there was no development in the relationships between any of the characters. The explanations for the sudden protectiveness of Layla by Kade and James were unbelievable and desperate. There was no real development between Layla and Chase, I felt absolutely no connection whatsoever.

One morning he is the mysterious I am in the serious minority but I stand by my review. One morning he is the mysterious landlord that night he is her overly jealous, possessive, obsessive boyfriend who wants to take control of her life. Then Layla, she was extremely immature. I understand that Chase had a sordid sexual history, but jeez she would go off for the smallest thing that someone else initiated with Chase being an innocent bystander. Ugggg I hate when the heroine is written like an idiot.

Unfortunately, this was one story where I wish Chase would have told Layla to just fuck off and went about his merry way. View all 3 comments. This one was enjoyable enough I suppose. I found the dialogue a bit cheesy at times and the story rather predictable.

But it was a short, quick read The story begins with Layla going to University and renting a room from three guys--James, Kade and Chase. One night while out at the bar, Layla meets Chase for the first time, not knowing 3. One night while out at the bar, Layla meets Chase for the first time, not knowing that he's the third roomie.

He brings her home Chase is a playboy and has had many women. Layla and Chase are trying to build a relationship but Chase's past keeps getting in the way. One someone in particular. Chase isn't open with Layla about some things from his past preventing them from being able to move forward. Eventually they get on the same page and everything works out. It was almost too much back and forth for me though. However, this was a standalone with a HEA so that's always a plus.

The author did do a good job of setting up the other characters books I would recommend this if you're looking for a quick read. It had a little bit of everything This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Nope the heroine just keeps coming back for more. I was so mad! He is young and stupid but she puts up with his sorry ass.

So I guess it's her fault also. I think I would have been ok if he had taken steps to insure that she would not have come in contact with his past whores or sluts. All these guys are major whores so I will not read more about this messed up nonsense. This book was mostly, Drama, drama, and more drama! Now I need me a shot of tequila!

First let me just say that I was expecting this to be raunchy, but was pleasantly surprised to find that it is nothing of the sorts! Simply put, it was a really enjoyable read and I need more of this series…like yesterday. Let m First let me just say that I was expecting this to be raunchy, but was pleasantly surprised to find that it is nothing of the sorts!

Layla is our heroine in this series and finds herself in a situation to where she ends up rooming with three other males. They have some bumps, like most relationships do, but in the end they are perfect for each other. Also every good series always has a villain and in this book its Aubrey aka the show girl from hell. God I hated her. I kept waiting for Nikki to shank her or something. Nikki is a bad bitch! Kade is my crush from this series. Which is saying something because the last time I was in a book funk it took me months to get out of it!

I, like the rest of the book community, am so damn proud of you two! I had the opportunity to read the arc for this book in return for an honest review. Layla Crawford is a great character. She feels real and honest, like she would be a normal girl we would all hang out with. There isn't anything too pretentious or irritating about her. She is by no means perfect, which makes her instantly likable Layla is a great name too I have no idea why that is such a thing for me, but it is.

Layla is looking for a place to stay while she goes to school and, like so many o I had the opportunity to read the arc for this book in return for an honest review. Layla is looking for a place to stay while she goes to school and, like so many of us during our college years, ends up looking at places with creepy men or that are run down. Gosh how I miss being young and poor She ends up finding a room to rent with incredibly hot brothers who live in a beautiful house. And, like any sane woman would, she jumps at it!

Which leads us to her living with gorgeous men and leading a life of walking that fine line of "do I go for one of them or not". Layla being a smart girl, refrains from making a move on them, and instantly becomes one of their favorite people. There are three of them actually. There is Kade, James, and of course Chase. Layla become close to Kade and James right away. They have spend the most time with her when she moves in and they treat her like a little sister a lot of the time. But I did have to say, they seem a little too possessive at times with her.

The third brother, Chase, is someone who is rarely around. When he is it seems he is there for a night to sleep with someone and then he is off again.

All three brothers are known for being manwhores. I am talking true manwhores. They share women, rarely see the same girl twice, and when they are done with you, well, they are done with you. But for some reason they all try to shelter Layla from this. Almost like they feel the need to protect her.

Keep her away from all the bad influences and such.

When Chase meets her by chance at a club things get hot. So hot in fact that she ends up in bed with him, not realizing he is the mysterious third brother she has yet to meet. And that is a fun trip in and of itself. I actually laughed pretty hard when I realized she had just been nailed by the third brother and he basically took her home unbeknownst to either of them. Chase does a in personality. Suddenly he is faithful, caring and devoted to only Layla. Which if I am honest, kind of threw me a bit. It seemed like an abrupt change in personality. But after you realize he is the guy in the beginning of the book who saw Layla years earlier and wanted her then, it makes sense.

But like Kade and James, Chase is so possessive at times he borderlines scary. Their relationship is anything but conventional and it moves at the speed of light. They hit quite a few speed bumps but they always find their way back to each other. I do have to say the scene where Layla gets on stage had me in stitches. She was a never back down kind of girl, and I can appreciate that. They have a lot going on at the end of the book, and I am not going to give anymore secrets away.

But I will say this, I loved the ending. This is a debut novel for Chantal Fernando and Dawn Martens, and ladies, please allow me to say congratulations and bravo on a book well done! I give this 4 lipsticks! I can't wait to see what they come up with next! On Wednesday you will see the second part of the tour with my interviews with Chantal and Dawn! View all 9 comments. To see if she feels this attraction I'm feeling for her her.

I've never felt anything like it. Something the makes me want to protect her, cherish her. I know I don't deserve her. But that doesn't mean I'll stop wanting her. Sharing with two hot guys and one she hasn't met Layla sets the ground rules. All of that is about to change when she finds her self in a club and spots him, Chase. He can't keep his eyes off of her. But Layla's rule is about to broken when they realise they actually live together! Hot, sexy, alpha possessive, Chase doesn't do commitment and just uses women for sex. But just one look at Layla and he just know she is different.

Chase vows that he will change his ways for her. I want this to be more than sex. Constantly having to watch these women throw themselves at him, causes a few dramas for Layla. But Chase is true to his word and only has eyes for Her. However Chase is keeping a few secrets. When Layla finds out, she pushes Chase away. Too hurt to forgive she won't allow Chase back in. Chase isn't giving up and will do anything to prove Layla he is worthy of her love. I'm not going to blindly just give you that power again.

I can't even explain it. I knew it then, and I know it now. Or will the final secret distroy everything between them? I really enjoyed this. Steam factor wasn't smoking hot, but still slightly steamy. I loved Chase hahaha he was total Alpha! When she locked him out and he was about to drill the door off… Hahhah so funny! I just want to… I was surprised this was set in Australia. Normally I can pick it up, being an Aussie and all, but I didn't until Sydney was referenced. I was pleasantly surprised. I loved James and Kade. I loved their friendship with Layla. I can't wait for the next in the series.

May 01, Tee loves Kyle Jacobson rated it it was amazing Shelves: Oh where oh where to begin for this review Okay I want to curse some more but I will refrain from doing that. My God I have never read a book so dam funny and full of roller coaster emotions. One minute I would be laughing and the next minute I would get pissed off because some people just don't get it when they are not wanted so they try and ruin things for others.

But let me tell you Chase and his brothers are Greek Sex God's because man oh man these boys Oh where oh where to begin for this review But let me tell you Chase and his brothers are Greek Sex God's because man oh man these boys are hot as hell but they also protect what is theirs and they are very fierce in protecting Layla. Chase Jackson is a player and a business man. He is gorgeous and he knows it. He does not do relationships but instead ops for one night stands and he is very up front and honest with the women when he picks them up.

They know the drill it is chew and screw and then goodbye. He never does a girl twice is his motto until he is at a party and sees a beautiful girl. His heart starts racing and he is so entranced and enthralled by her he can not keep his eyes off of her. Only one small problem the girl he is looking at is his best friends cousin and Ryder is not having any off that and he makes Chase promise to stay away from his cousin.

Chase does but still keeps watching the girl from across the party. Chase knows if she looks his way he will break his promise but Ryder doesn't give him that chance because Ryder tells them it's time to leave the party. So Chase leaves behind the girl that has made his heart wake up. Fast forward some time and Chase is in a club with all these girls surrounding him and he is on the prowl for his next girl when he spots her the girl from the party a while ago Ryder's cousin.

He knows he has to have her but he is not sure if she will even look at him because he has all these girls all over him. But then the unthinkable happens and she looks at him and smiles and Chase loses his shit and pursues her. Layla and her best Nikki are out celebrating Layla finding an apartment near her college. They go to the club ready to party like no one's business when Layla and Nikki spot this gorgeous guy across the room. Nikki realizes he is staring at Layla and tells Layla to look and when she does her breath is caught in her throat because this guy is finer than any guy she has ever meet.

As Layla and the stranger look at each other Layla knows she is in trouble. Chase approaches her and they go off. They share on kiss and Chase is a goner and so is Layla. This is where the story gets good so dam good that I will not ruin it for you but I will say this. Chase will have to work very hard to get Layla because his past will come back full force to haunt him and Layla will have to read through the bullshit to see what is true and what is not.

Jealous women can be bitches and she is going to have to stand by the man she loves. Chase has never done this whole relationship thing before and he wants it bad so badly he is willing to do whatever it takes to have his Layla. Will Chase be able to get Layla? Will Layla be able to deal with the craziness that comes with Chase? Plus you will need some ice cubes to cool you off or just the beach water because this book is hotter than hell! May 10, A. You know, I thought this would be a perfect 3.

I'm just not the type of reader who falls for a manwhore character, and this book had plenty of them. The whole sharing the girls thing was just However - Kade and James. I love the way the authors sort of set up all these secondary characters - they made you love them, throwing bits an You know, I thought this would be a perfect 3.

I love the way the authors sort of set up all these secondary characters - they made you love them, throwing bits and pieces of their stories in but not making it about them. I really really loved James and I barely know anything about him! Actually, maybe that's why I thought Layla and Chase had good chemistry. It's a bit of an insta-love, but not really because of the way they set it up.

They compliment each other really well, and I thought that it was believable he would change for her - by the end of the book the poor guy was just plain whipped. Truth be told, I kind of spent the book hating on him. I love my alpha male hero but he was just I did learn to love him by the end because I understood him better.

The heroine is strong willed and snarky, though a virginal one. I found myself interested in Nikki and Sasha's stories as well, and even the wicked witch that is Aubrey. Seriously, she's a psycho. There are a couple of mildly graphic sex scenes in the book, and a lot of cursing. A couple of things that bothered me were just a brief switch of POV now and again, many, many typos that sort of distracted me from the story.

The beginning felt a little rushed.
