CHASE (Complete series) by Cassia Leo

3 STARS
 
A very quick read in a 4 part mini series, which seemed to add up to less than any book I usually read.  I read it last night in less than 3 hours.  Not my cup of tea, but if you like lots and lots of sex with no depth then this is for you.  I don't know what kept me reading...I think because there were a bunch of great reviews so I was trying to get into the story, but I really wasn't all that entertained.  

So basically it begins with Larissa Jacobs who just accepted a job as an escort for high end/high profile celebrities.  Her first client is presidential candidate Chase Underwood who hand-selected her and immediately falls for her.  From the very beginning it was not believable for me.  I'm sorry to say I did not like Cassia Leo's writing style at all.  First, they immediately began and never ended with a ton of sex.  I felt like I didn't get to know either character at all.  He told her he loved her way too soon and again, I felt absolutely no depth to the story.  This was my first mini-series so maybe that's how they are???  

***SPOILER***

Another reason I didn't like it was because I think the writing was supposed to be humorous at times, but I didn't find it funny at all.  Her inner monologues in the beginning were not funny to me, a bit annoying to be honest.  Continuing the story, he hires her for his campaign and keeps her as his lover while he is married to another woman (just a business deal) and they are of course, forbidden to be together...then he wins the election but no sooner does he resign from the presidency to be with her.  Sounds choppy because it was.  I hate to give bad reviews and I apologize if this review seems a bit harsh, but I have to be honest.  I appreciate the fact that the authors put tons of work into these books, but it just wasn't for me.
