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.

Very Sorry I Ever Bought This One!

ByMujeron March 2, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I am disgusted and disappointed with this book and author. ***SPOILERS***There's a love triangle involving Harper, Chase, and Brandon. Harper meets Chase first and, despite some negative interaction, there is intense chemistry between them from the very beginning. Then she meets Brandon a few days later. She almost instantly decides that Brandon would be a much better match for her. At first, I thought Chase and Harper would eventually get together, and I was rooting for them because bad boy Chase was the one I thought she should be with. It was obvious very early on that he'd lost his heart to her. She kept saying she was in love with both of them. I think it's possible to love two people, but not be IN love with both of them. When they finally got together, I was so pleased. The incident with Trish was somewhat expected, but I just KNEW that she had to have drugged him (andd she did), but Harper was quick to dismiss him and decide he was lying to her. But I never expected the author to abruptly kill him off! I just finished reading the chapter about the funeral and how sweet ol' Brandon is being so supportive. It's obvious that she's going to end up with him. I did something I NEVER do with books, and looked at the epilogue and yep, she and Brandon are together. I don't know if I'll even bother reading the rest of the book (something else I NEVER do, no matter how bad a book is) because I'm so upset with how things turned out. Doesn't this author understand that when you create an appealing character like Chase you want the heroine to end up with him? Chase thought Harper deserved someone better than him, but she really wasn't good enough for HIM (or even Brandon). I understand why she was naive and inexperienced, but she was also so very selfish. She kept talking about how she was hurting Brandon blah, blah, blah, but she hurt Chase so much worse and that didn't seem to faze her too much. I don't even know if I'll ever even read anymore books by this author. For sure, I'll read the reviews -- including the spoilers! -- first to see if another one of hers would be such a letdown. Molly, you killed off the BEST character in the book!!!

Heart wrenching

ByJannaon 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.
