REVIEW: Chased by You by Kate Sweden

 



There were two problems with auditing True North Access.

First, the company belonged to Grayson Ambrose. Second, I used to belong to him.

As COO of Wilder Horizons, Summer Wilder manages luxury travel disasters, impossible clients, vendor crises, and five sisters with more opinions than boundaries. She is efficient, composed, and very good at keeping the past exactly where it belongs.

Locked down.

But when Wilder Horizons needs a seasonal audit in coastal Alaska, Summer has no choice but to face the one man she walked away from six years ago.

Grayson “Gray” Ambrose was supposed to be her future. The ring. The plan. The life in Juneau they never got to build. Now he owns True North Access, the elite expedition logistics company Wilder Horizons needs, and he is older, steadier, infuriatingly capable, and inconveniently impossible to ignore.

He also has a little boy, a complicated life, and no interest in pretending Summer’s return is just business.

What starts as a professional audit becomes a second chance neither of them knows how to survive. The Alaska season is ending. The weather is closing in. The old chemistry is very much alive. And every icy mile between them makes one thing harder to

Some people do not stay in the past.

They wait.

Chased by You is a sexy, emotionally charged second-chance romantic comedy featuring a controlled COO heroine, a rugged Alaska logistics owner, forced proximity, old engagement wounds, luxury expedition travel, sharp banter, single-dad heart-melting, unresolved tension, coastal Alaska atmosphere, and serious heat at the edge of the season. Perfect for readers who love competent heroines, protective heroes, wilderness romance, luxury travel escapism, and characters who know the most dangerous place to get lost is with the person who once felt like home.

πŸ’‹ Adult language, adult situations, and adults doing very adult things. Repeatedly.
forced proximity, coastal Alaska, second-chance longing, one very inconvenient ex-fiancΓ©, luxury travel audits, weather delays, sister interference, a dangerously competent single dad, and a man who should not look that good knowing exactly what he’s doing. Recommended 18+.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book!

This author writes with feeling and sophistication. I enjoy the snappy dialogue that the characters have, as well as the heartfelt ones. I must admit that with each book of this series that I've read, there were times when I felt a bit lost with the jargon, but I just love all the characters so much, and there is often a lot of humour, especially amongst the six sisters. Each story was also set in a different country and, as a travel enthusiast, I loved reading about each locality.

"They knew your name because every future I talked about had you in it."

Summer and Gray were tense and stilted, but there was so much emotion between them. They learnt from their past mistakes; they learnt to let go of responsibilities to make time for each other; they learnt to trust each other again. I loved little Henry and the way he took to Summer. Life wasn't easy for either Summer or Gray but I was happy with how they made things work eventually.

REVIEW: Saved by You by Kate Sweden

There were two problems with falling for Nick Mercer. First—he was trained to notice every weakness. Second—he was starting to notice mine. Now I’m stranded on a South African reserve with a broody ex-military ranger, a security threat closing in, and a heart that apparently has no respect for jurisdiction.

Juliette Wilder does not unravel.

As CEO of Wilder Horizons, she handles impossible clients, luxury travel disasters, and high-stakes situations with lethal calm. But when a corporate retreat on a private South African wildlife reserve turns dangerous, Juliette finds herself grounded, exposed, and inconveniently dependent on the one man who refuses to be charmed, intimidated, or managed.

Nick Mercer is ex-military, controlled, and built like every bad decision Juliette has ever been smart enough not to make. As head of security for the reserve, he lives by rules, distance, and worst-case scenarios.

She challenges all three before breakfast.

What starts as a battle of wills turns into something far more dangerous than attraction. The threat against the reserve escalates. The nights get hotter. And the line between protecting Juliette and needing her disappears completely.

Saved by You is a sexy, emotionally charged romantic suspense comedy featuring a powerful CEO heroine, a broody ex-military ranger, forced proximity, sharp banter, high-stakes danger, safari lodge romance, slow-burn tension, and serious heat in the South African bush. Perfect for readers who love protective heroes, competent heroines, luxury travel romance, romantic suspense, alpha hero energy, and characters who know falling in love might be the most dangerous risk of all.

πŸ’‹ Contains: Adult language, adult situations, and adults doing very adult things. Repeatedly.
Also: forced proximity, security briefings, dangerous wildlife, surgical banter, one very inconvenient lodge delay, and a man who should not look that good issuing commands. Recommended 18+.

Fantastic read! Intense, sharp, humorous and steamy! Loved it!

"She'd looked at me like she was cataloguing risk. Most guests treated me like a prop. 
She looked at me like I might be a problem."

Juliette Wilder is in South Africa on a forced CEO retreat by her sisters. Nick Mercer is the head ranger at the park she's staying. Their mutual interest is piqued but they are poles apart. Juliette is all about control, order and cool assessment. Nick is commanding, domineering and incredibly observant. In all honesty, they are actually quite similar and both challenge each other's view of their own life. I enjoyed how they built a rapport out of respect for each other's abilities and intelligence, as well as the tense chemistry between them.

"She wasn't fragile. She was the most dangerous thing I'd ever had. 
And I had no intention of letting go."

I absolutely loved their sharp and snappy exchanges - not just with each other, but with everyone else around them. This story was humorous, sexy, and suspenseful. I loved the dynamic between the sisters - how much they loved each other, as well as goaded one another.

Really looking forward to reading the final book about Summer Wilder.
