CHASING HAPPY was one of those books that took me by surprise. I loved the characters and the storyline made it hard for me to put the book down.
Lara and Reed had that chemistry that I love. The love/hate vibe they try to hide behind when all they want to do is rip the clothes off each other. They had that from practically the moment they met. Lara tried to fight it and Reed tried to exploit it, which led to some very interesting and lively interaction between the two of them. Especially considering Lara thought Reed was gay and was trying to set him up with her best friend Kade. But as they worked together, got to know each other, their romance grew into something that was solid. Something that proved to Reed that he could have a loving, happy relationship like his adoptive parents.
Lara had her hands full with Reed, but she also had her own issues with men to weed through as she got to know Reed. Once she judged Reed on his own and let go of her past she was able to let Reed in and grab onto a happily ever after she craved, but didn't think she'd find.
This was a great start to the series and has me anxiously waiting to see what comes next. CHASING HAPPY is definitely a book to pick up.
