Her first year away is turning out to be nearly perfect, but one weekend of giving in to heated passion will change everything

Eighteen-year-old Harper has grown up under the thumb of her career marine father. Ready to live life her own way and to experience things she's only ever heard of from the jarheads in her father's unit, she's on her way to college at San Diego State University.

Thanks to her new roommate, Harper is introduced to a world of parties, gorgeous guys, family, and emotions. She finds herself being torn in two as she quickly falls in love with both her new boyfriend, Brandon, and her roommate's brother, Chase. Despite their dangerous looks and histories, both men adore Harper and would do anything for her, including taking a step back if it would mean she'd be happy.

A great angsty read!

December 28, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I am so glad to have finally read this book. I knew it was a love triangle and had a feeling it would slay me and it certainly did it’s job!

I LOVED CHASE!!!!
From his first appearance in the book I knew I was team Chase. This guy was all things delicious with his blonde hair, blue eyes, tattooes and bad boy persona...... I knew he was the right guy for Harper and just couldn’t get enough of him in the book......... And I was completely heartbroken halfway through the book..........

I wasn’t sure I could continue after that halfway point but kept going and glad I finished it.

There were some parts that I found awkward and uncomfortable to read ( scenes with Harper and Chases’s mum talking about Brandon) and some parts that I didn’t really believe ( Harper and Brandon’s personal relationship), however overall it was a great story.

I liked Harpers character and Brandon was just the prefect guy, any girl would be lucky to have him as a boyfriend. He made my heart melt with his selflessness and compassion. I loved how he loved Harper and forgave her everything.

I commend the author in exending this book past the love triangle and giving the reader so much more. I loved seeing the future of all the characters and despite all the earlier pain and sad tears I could shed some happy ones too.

This book had a number of spelling mistakes which I could overlook but the editing was poor in quite a few place and I found that genuinely distracting. For example, in the same parangraph the story skips form Haprper being with Chase to a few weeks later being with Brandon........

Heart wrenching

March 19, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Normally I wait until after the tears have stopped flowing before I write a review, it kind of helps with the whole seeing the screen thing but I am almost compelled to do this right now. I just previously read another of Molly McAdams’ series when my self-proclaimed book bestie Gabrielle (although she really is) almost bullied me into reading Taking Chances saying that this will shred me but I have to read it. So I gave in pretty quickly and said okay let’s see what all the fuss is about. I wish I could share my text messages that I sent her during my reading of Taking Chances, but I will spare you my sometime curse word creative b!$#&ing while at the same time couldn’t put it down messages about my feelings while reading.

We have Harper, Chase and Brandon in a love triangle that has your emotions on high alert from almost the start. Chase is this a$$hole who can get under Harper’s skin like no other but she is falling in love with the bad boy while she is in a relationship with Brandon, the good guy who even though I tried to hate him because I was team Chase from the get go I just couldn’t. (Bite me Gabrielle I know when you read this you will say some smart a$$ comment.) We watch both relationships begin and end because of feelings that can’t be denied aren’t and hearts are broken. I am warning you right here and now you will need boxes (yes boxes damn it) of tissues because something happens that not only makes you violently throw your kindle one minute but has you so broken down the next that you have to re-read what you just read to make sure it actually says what it does. He!! here come the tears again just thinking about it.

Now, am I conflicted about events that happen later in the book? Yes I am. Did it make me hate the book? No it didn’t and do you know why? Because it still made me feel all those heart wrenching feelings I had felt from the start, but just for another reason this time. I want to read Stealing Harper right now to get Chase’s POV but I am waiting because I am so emotionally distraught and drained from Taking Chances that I need to go into it with fresh emotions.

I want to say thank you Gabrielle for making me read this book and I still love you despite what I said to you in my texts when my emotions were so high from what I was reading. I also want to say that Molly McAdams, d@mn women you know how to totally destroy your readers and have the talented ability to make us feel so many different emotions that we just don’t know how to turn off those emotions when we are finished with the book.

I HATED how everyone put Harper in a pedestal! And I do mean everyone. It made me sick it was so overdone. I have never hated a book as much as I hate this one.

The way Chase's family was okay with her after the accident pi$$ed me off!! I would never be okay with naming my son's child after another man.. not only the first name, but the last as well!!!!!!! Chase's mom asked her when they announced the baby's name if they were going to tell his son about Chase and made it clear that it would be okay if she chose not to. WTH?!?!?! No! I would not be okay with not telling my grandchild about his father!!!!! He|| NO!!!!!!
