Product Description:
Matt is an expert and the Chase is on. Tate doesn't stand a chance. Book Four In the Chase Brothers Series. Tate Murphy is a girl from the wrong side of the tracks. She grew up a million miles away from the easy life Matt Chase has had. She's spent her life pulling herself and her siblings up and out of that trailer by the railroad tracks and she hasn't looked back. Matt Chase is a dream of a guy and she's certainly not going to turn down a short fling with one of the most handsome men she's ever seen! Matt Chase has watched each one of his brothers find love and he knows he's ready for that too. It's all a matter of finding the woman who captures his heart. He's certainly sampled his fair share of them but none has moved him the way Tate Murphy does when he goes to her shop to thank her for some cookies and a thank you note. But as Matt gets to know Tate and appreciate her strength and unique beauty, he also realizes she's got some big self esteem issues about her past. To build a future, he's got to find a way past some big road blocks. Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language, some violence.

Tate Murphy couldn't believe her eyes when she opened them, and found herself staring into Matt Chase's handsome face. She had lusted after him from afar for many years, and to have finally met him after being hit by a car was disconcerting. He is a fireman, so of course came running when the accident happened. He had never met her before, but Matt couldn't get Tate out of his mind after her close call, and when she brought him homemade cookies as a thank you, that gave him the perfect opportunity to spend time with her. He found himself making a point to be places he knew she was going to be just so he could see her. When Matt realized that Tate was "the one" for him, he asked his mother about her background. Just from their few conversations, he knew she had a rough childhood, but wanted to know what they were facing. None of it was good. Tina Murphy was a whore that was only home if she didn't have a better offer. Bill Murphy was a drunk, but not just a drunk; he was a mean drunk that dished out more emotional and physical abuse than anyone should ever have to handle in a lifetime.
Matt was from a good decent loving family, and it never occurred to him how horrible people would treat Tate especially when they found out they were a couple. He couldn't believe his ears when he heard comments like she was a fat nobody from the wrong side of the tracks. No wonder she had such a self esteem problem. Between her family, and the town, she gets bombarded from all directions. Matt wanted nothing more than to protect Tate, but it wasn't until they were attending the homecoming game that he finally understood what she went through every day. Just when everything started to settle down a few months later, Bill Murphy started blackmailing Tate. He told her he would make the Chase family regret ever letting their son get involved with her. He frightened her so badly that she paid him for months until she was caught. Matt reacted badly because he thought she still didn't completely trust him. When he walked out of the home they had built, Tate wasn't sure he would ever be back.
What a wonderful story! Each book in this series gets better. Tate is such a complex character. She has literally been tortured her entire life, and has all the baggage that comes with that type of treatment. Feeling unloved and unattractive, she doesn't understand how Matt can love her. Matt just wants to love Tate, and make her world better. He simply wants to be with her, period because she makes him feel complete. A very emotional read, so have a couple Kleenex handy.

I loved all 4 books in this series, but I had a hard time getting passed the poor editing job, and grammatical errors (ie-"all the sudden" instead of "all of a sudden"-at least 3 times in this book alone!). Lauren Dane needs to find a new publisher. Her writing is great, as are the stories. I would definitely look for more books from her.

I just have to say one thing!! I love this family, moreover, I love the Chase parents, Polly and Edward. What an incredible series this is!! I guess I could copy and paste this same review on all the books because I loved each and every one of them. The way they were were fiercely loyal to each other and took care of each other. I can't say enough. I absolutely LOVED how their parents always stepped in and protected and welcomed the women that these brothers loved. I adored how the boys would still call them Momma and Daddy, yet they weren't "momma's boys" really. Independent and hard working men who loved their women with all their hearts. Always, and I mean ALWAYS there for each other at any given time. Does such a family exist??? Incredibly romantic and YES, very HOT love scenes too. I can't even pick a favorite. I probably would have to say that their momma Polly was the absolute star of each story. When her son wanted their woman, she stopped at nothing to make sure they were happy. But also held them accountable when they screwed up. The stories were heart wrenchingly sad sometimes and I cried more than once but the whole package was perfect.
(if there was any tiny itsy bitsy thing that bothered me in the stories is that there were sometimes when the woman had dated and even had a relationship with one of the other brothers... I don't know if I could have personally dealt with that. That's just me...)
STILL A 5-STAR SERIES...GREAT JOB LD!!! I loved loved loved this series. STELLAR work. :)
