*** ARC/BETA Received by authors, in exchange for an honest review***Firstly let me say, these two lady's are amazing authors to BETA read for. It always helps when the quality of the writing, grammar, phrasing etc makes you forget that you are in fact, reading a BETA copy and not a finalised novel straight from amazon!!I adored my ARC of Chase, and as such threatened to throw a big girl tantrum if I wasn't able to get my hands on the next in this series!!I have to give reference to the line in the movie 'Jerry McGuire'" You had me at hello. "This ^ is how I felt reading the first paragraph of Kade, and this line came up:'He looks a little like Jax Teller from Sons Of Anarchy.'Instant swoon, as this is my celebrity hard core crush!!Now into the book.HOW IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE THAT I LOVED THIS MORE THEN 'CHASE'?!?!The Steele men are hott!!Funny, sweet, protective, I love them!Nikki and Kade I heart you!! I also hate you!! It's a fine line that is crossed many, many times throughout this novel.Nikki is a strong, self assured female character, with whom I fell in love with in 'Chase'I knew they had slept together, but the way that man goes after her....dominant Alfa male hotness right there!!I feel for Nikki, after her past with Ben, I can understand why she is so hesitant. To have such STRONG feelings for someone, instantly, is intense, not to mention scary as hell!' I just don't know if I can survive Kade.'Me either Nikki, me either :('Don't need to be on somebody's arm to look good(I like who I am)I'm not saying I don't wanna fall in love cos I wouldI'm not gonna get hooked up just cos you say I should(can't romance on demand)I'm gonna wait so I'm sorry if you misunderstood'Again the karaoke scene gets me! The angst these two go through is frustrating, beautiful, emotional, oh yer, did I mention frustrating!!!!I love a good game of cat and mouse. That's exactly what I got!We get so much before anything serious even happens between these two.Kade is just as strong of a character. He is difficult to describe, as he is a constant contradiction. He is sweet, but rude. Caring one minute, ignoring the next. You love him, then you love to hate him. He is never downright nasty , but he has his moments that you want to strangle him.Am I confusing you yet?!?'He stomps off and James comes over to me and pulls me into his side. "I think Kade is more pussy whipped than Chase," he says with a twinkle in his eyes.With that we both burst out laughing.'Out of the two I couldn't help but feel worse for Kade at first.' I want Nikki, by my side. To go to sleep with, wake up with, and everything in between. I know Nikki is the woman for me, now I just need to convince her. To get her to let me in, let me prove myself. Prove my worth. It will never be over between Nikki and I.'He is head over heals for this wild red head, and it is affecting him so deeply, you want to cry, then he turns around and does something so sweet, you feel the need to swoon, or something so Alfa and cocky, it makes you blush and giggle.I think I need my own Steele man!!I LOVED Lucy ( the boys mother) in the first bookAnd she got me again this time, I was seriously hoping the YOLO scene would be replayed and I wasn't disappointed!! How could you NOT love this woman?!?'When I find out Lucy put alcohol into James' coffee I burst out laughing, and when she says YOLO, I almost choke with laughter. Who knew this prim and proper looking woman had a sense of humor?'This novel moves smoothly and with easy from one POV to the next. It was never choppy, Which is something I really enjoyed.Ashley, oh boy, can you say drama?!?"You should probably run for an extra hour, you need it," She grates.I'm usually yelling at the female in the lovers 'tiffs', but this time it was all directed at Kade!!That boy had no clue.I can't stand when people use and abuse kind hearted people. It really is my pet peeve.The fact that Ashley was able to manipulate him so easily annoyed the hell out of me, but only adds to show Kades loving protective nature.This is something that is not resolved quickly, but I think it's a HUGH compliment to Dawn and Chantal, that I wanted to jump into my tablet and slap Ashley into submission, while yelling at her that Kade will NEVER be hers!!! Angry much! She just doesn't let up, Reminding me of one of those little chiwawa dogs, yap, yap, yap, < curse word removed> yap, don't bother asking because yes I would kick her!!!I really enjoyed Ryder this time round. In ' Chase ' he just turned me off for some reason. However I am looking forward to reading more about his story.' I want him, and I want him bad, I just don't know if I can.'I like the fact that Kade and Nikki start again by being friends. It's not rushed. It just flows from there and they let it take its course.I LOVED THIS:"She sure is, and I've seen her half naked," Kade says casually, shoveling ice cream into his mouth."I'm sorry, what?" Chase says in a deadly tone. I bite my lip. Kade is such a shit stirrer. I kick him under the table."Ouch! What was that for?" James growls. Oops. I try again."Nikki, what the f <curse word removed> " Chase complains.Oh come on. Third time's a charm right? I kick harder, knowing it hits my target when Kade grunts.I had tears, I was laughing so hard!!I love pregnant Layla!!!"I need candy NOW!"Oh boy she made me giggle.I'm desperate to know what's going on with James!!I'm hoping his is the next in the series after Ryder.This relationship is up and down and so so good. It is just so real!! I love the writing style. I was NEVER board, I laughed, I cried, I yelled, I was frustrated to the point of wanted to throw my reader across the room!!I HIGHLY recommended this book, you won't be disappointed!!I am so very much looking forward to the next instalment with Ryder.
