Review: Unraveling Chase


Unraveling Chase
Unraveling Chase by J.J. Scotts

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



3.5* Ultimately, I did enjoy Unraveling Chase, but I had a couple problems. First, there wasn't much Liam/Chase time. Chase and Liam are apart for nearly 2/3rds of the book, and what time they do spend together was in bed, which I'm not complaining about, exactly since JJ Scotts knows how to write a sex scene, but I'd like to see more of them outside the bedroom, especially considering the revelations made in this book. Which takes me to my second problem -- we finally find out how Chase got his scar, but the way we found out was a little disappointing. Nicole tells Liam the story of what happened. I'm glad I finally know, but wish Chase had been the one to tell Liam the story. What saved this story for me, were the sections told from Chase's perspective. It was nice to get inside of his head for a change and start to understand what makes him tick. This is definitely a must read if you're a fan of the series!
