Lady McNeill's review: Being Chase by JJ Scotts is the beginning of what could be a great story. This book is told from Liam’s POV as he’s being offered this crazy job to impersonate a famous author Chase Preston. He doesn’t even realize when he accepts the job what he will be doing which is really unusual but he was pretty desperate. There is a lot of build up in the beginning that had me hooked early on to wonder what this job was all about. It does take some suspension in reality once I learned the details of the job but I won’t spoil those details.Since the book is told from Liam’s POV I feel like I got to know him best. He comes across a bit immature but I liked him as a character. Chase on the other hand is a big unknown. While he’s younger than Liam, he’s pretty wealthy and comes across as more mature than Liam. He also comes across as a bit of a jerk so I’m not sure what I think of him yet. I’m hoping to learn more about him in the next novel to change my opinion because I’m imagining when he opens up they are going to have one hot relationship.This novella is definitely the beginning of the story and ends on a cliffhanger. In fact as I was reading I knew I was running out of pages and had no idea how the story was going to wrap up. There is no HEA or even HFN and were there not a note at the end that a second book is coming then I would have been disappointed with how it ended. I did really enjoy the writing style and I was hooked from the beginning so the second story is on my must read list.
