About the book:
College drop-out, Roxy Cumberland, moved to New York with dreams of becoming an actress, but her dwindling bank account is quickly putting the kibosh on that fantasy. To make some quick cash, she signs up to perform singing telegrams. Her first customer is a gorgeous, cocky Manhattan trust-funder if she ever laid eyes on one. And what could be more humiliating than singing an ode to his junk, courtesy of his last one night stand? Maybe the fact that she’s dressed in a giant, pink bunny costume...
After a night out to celebrate winning his last case, lawyer Louis McNally II isn’t prepared for the pounding in his head or the rabbit serenading him from the front door. But the sassy wit and sexy voice of the girl behind the mask intrigues him, and one look at her stunning face—followed by a mind-blowing kiss against his doorjamb—leaves Louis wanting more.
Roxy doesn’t need a spoiled rich boy who’s had everything in life handed to him on a Tiffany platter. But there’s more to Louis than his sexy surface and he’s determined to make Roxy see it...even if it means chasing her all over NYC.
My Thoughts:
Roxy has hit rough times and is the cliché starving actress
struggling to land a job. In order to make ends meet, she takes a job singing
telegrams, but never thought she’d have to sing a song in honor of a man’s, ahem, manliness, in a bunny suit, no
less! No, that’s not humiliating at all…
When Louis opens the door and sees a hot bunny on his
doorstep, he at first thinks he’s hallucinating. He gets a song of praise for
his endowments, and you’d think that
make a guy happy, but not so much when it’s a judgmental, sexy bunny singing
the song. And not so much when you’re instantly attracted to the sexy, sassy
bunny because having your one night stand send a singing telegram to your
manhood doesn’t exactly make the best first impression:
"Why? If you
like what you see, will you invite me inside? You haven't even showered off the
last girl yet." He actually had the
grace to look a little ashamed. “I—“
Roxy didn’t give a
shit about his answer. “Would you expect me to be flattered?” She clutched her
chest dramatically. “Please, oh keeper of the golden penis, let me worship at
your flawless phallus.”
Lol! So, yes, not the
best first impression there, but they do manage to share a smoldering kiss. Sounds like a weird thing to happen, but it works
in this context, and Louis can’t get Roxy out of his mind. Soon he’s chasing her all over the city to
win her over and make her give him a chance.
Roxy doesn’t want to get hurt, and Louis definitely seems
like a love-them-and-leave-them type of guy, so she keeps her shields up just
in case. That’s a little difficult when she starts to realize he’s not the
manwhore she thought, but actually a nice guy.
I laughed at the whole roommates “syncing” scene where Louis came in and
handled things like a pro with two broody and emotional females:
“What else you got in
that bag, Mary Poppins?” Roxy’s curiosity got the best of her, so she hopped up
on one of the kitchen stools and reached into the bag. “Three…no, four Snickers bars,” she announced. “A
bottle of wine. Tylenol. People
magazine.” She peered further into the bag. “And Bridesmaids on DVD.”
Louis realizes that the way they met would make Roxy doubt
his intentions, but he’s determined to change her opinion. He wants to get close, get to know Roxy,
wedge himself into her heart bit by bit, because no one has ever affected him
the way she does.
I adored Chase Me! It was such a fun and sexy story. The clever
banter, the deeper emotions and the amazing sexual tension all added up to a
satisfying romance. Roxy and Louis get to know each other better, all the while
sharing lusty kisses, and passionate encounters. Tessa Bailey excels at writing
super hot sex scenes, but she definitely built up my anticipation, making me
hot and bothered in the process!
I love Tessa Bailey’s writing and I’ve already got the next
installment, Need
Me, locked and loaded on my kindle!
