Given his well-earned bad boy reputation, Eric is having a tough time scoring.. When single Jean moves to town, she seems heaven sent by the sex gods. Only problem is, she not only wants nothing to do with him, but it turns out that she's pregnant.
Starting over in a small town, Jean is determined to turn her wild lifestyle around and be the kind of mother she always wished she'd had. Since local bar owner and all round hottie, Eric Collins, is now determined to steer clear of her pregnant self, it should be easy. When she goes into labour during a snow storm and her car slides on some ice, it's Eric who comes to the rescue.
There seems to be a bond between them now, but is it enough? And can Eric give up his manwhore ways to be the man Jean needs?

Do you know how long I've been waiting for Chaser? A long time for sure! The time I spent waiting only made the trip back into the Dive Bar world that much sweeter. It was established previously in Twist how much of a player Eric is and it didn't look like he was in any hurry to change what was working for him. In walks Jean who knocks him sideways. He does the usual flirting but none of that will make a difference because ... she's pregnant! It feels like the world's cruelest joke that this really cool woman would be off limits in the ultimate way. Worse still is everyone's belief that he has and always will be a selfish womanizer. The amount of grief he's been receiving lately from his friends has him rethinking his lifestyle and now he's motivated to prove every single one of them wrong. He can be friends with a woman and not hit on her - he'll show them! With sex out of the equation Eric finds himself in one of the strangest but most fulfilling friendships that he has ever had.
I'd describe Eric as Mal-lite. Funny and at times childish but without the need to be the center of attention. (By the way, I love Mal but this was the first thought that came to my mind.) Eric's quite charming in his self-reflection and he had me chuckling at some of his observations especially when he was confused by his new behaviour. The change in his attitude from the beginning to the end is astonishing, even to his close circle of friends. A lot of the credit goes to Jean who while not completely immune to him also doesn't lead him on during the early days of their friendship. She's a steadying force and because she's new to the group, and doesn't have any previous history them, she has the distinct advantage to see Eric differently. That's the lightbulb moment that struck me: sometimes when you're so close to the situation or have dealt repeatedly with the same behaviour, you just kind of shut off and accept that things will never change. That's where his friends were at with him but not Jean. She saw the effort he was making and she encouraged his self-improvement, and I love them both all the more for it. When things do heat up between them they're both adults about it. These two with their subtle flirting and their growing bond make them my favourite couple of this series.
Kylie Scott is one of my absolute favourites. (I may have mentioned before that she ruined me for most other rockstar romances.) The unconventional romance along with her signature humour and witty dialogue makes Chaser a blast to read and you should definitely add it to your reading list!
