Review: Mine to Chase
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 03 2, 2013
Jasmine fell in lust with Chase when she worked as his real estate agent but she thought he didn't feel the same.  After flirting with him and getting no response, and then no hearing from him for a year, she gave up hope that they would ever be together.  Chase has many enemies. As a half breed, werewolf and vampire, he is stronger and more powerful than most of the other supernaturals and they are not happy about this.  To keep Jasmine safe he walked away from her instead of making her his mate.At the beginning of the book Chase, who was sent by his friend and boss to hunt a rogue vampire, finds Jasmine being held hostage by the rogue.  Instead of killing her or wiping her mind he decides that it was fates plan that he meet her again and he won't walk away from her again.  Now that she knows about the `others' there is no reason for them to be apart.I wish there had been more of this part of the story.  I would have liked for the characters to develop some kind of relationship before jumping in the sack.  All of Jasmines' questions are kind of brushed aside as Chase shares his desire for her and she gives in.  We get some hot steamy sex and then she is questioning again making him share his desire with her again. Rinse and repeat.I felt that there could have been more character building.  There was some nice interaction with Chase's sister but we don't get a lot of emotion from Chase when it comes to anything except his desire to have sex with Jasmine. I know that he is half vampire but if he could have expressed himself a little, that would have been nice.Chase was also very secretive and almost dishonest with Jasmine at times and I thought that she, as she could read his mind at times, should have really laid into him about that like she did with his treatment of his sister.  That seemed a little inconsistent.I did enjoy the story but I wish it had been a little longer. There is a lot of opportunity for a series to develop from the set of characters and the world that Dohner has built.  I thought the world was interesting if a little more aggressive that I am used to reading about but I liked that about it. The interaction between the vamps and wolves was interesting and I would like to see what will happen to Chase's sister, his vamp boss, and wolves. I am left with some questions at the end but, as I mentioned, it opens the book up to become a series. I am looking forward to reading more form this author.book received from publisher for the purpose of an honest reviewreviewed by Megan
