Chaser

By: Rick R. Reed

Narrated by: John Solo

Caden DeSarro is what they call a chubby chaser. He likes his guys with a few extra pounds on them. So when he meets Kevin Dodge in a bar bathroom, he can't help but stare, even if he does make an ass of himself. As far as Caden is concerned, Kevin is physically perfect: a stocky bearded blond with a dick that's just right. (They met in the bathroom - of course he looked!) But Caden gets tongue-tied and misses his chance.

When Caden runs into Kevin one night on the El train, he figures it's fate offering him a second shot. Caden manages to get invited back to Kevin's place for a one-night stand that turns into the kind of relationship he's dreamed about.

But the course of true love never did run smooth, and Kevin and Caden's romance is no exception. When Caden returns from a few weeks away on business, Kevin surprises him with a new and "improved" body - one that fits Caden's shallow friend Bobby's ideal, not Caden's. Caden doesn't know what to do, and his hesitation is just the opportunity Bobby was looking for. This isn't the same Kevin he fell in love with - is it?

There is more to love than appearances...

**AUDIOBOOK REVIEW**

This is such a good story. I was a bit sickened at times by some of the behavior of Bobby, but the two men who were trying to figure out if there was more to appearances that made their relationship was excellent.

I've never heard/read a Rick Reed story before but I really enjoyed the way he wrote the characters and the drama that they went through.

Really the underlying point of this book is that appearances aren't everything and love is more than skin deep.

John Solo did an excellent job with the narration as well bring together an excellent audiobook!!

I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Inked Rainbow Reads.

Not What I Expected

As has been previously stated, the first part of this novel was good. The characters were believable and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Then, things got weird. I'm sure there are people out there like some of the characters, but that doesn't mean I want to spend my free time hearing about them.

One of the things I liked about the book was the character development. These seemed like real-life men with desires and motivations to match their personalities.

The thing I didn't like about the book was that it reminded me a bit of an after-school special, but with a LOT more sex.

I will say that I liked this book a lot more than some of the others by male authors.

Just wow!!

Would you listen to Chaser again? Why?

Yes !!
Cause I can

Who was your favorite character and why?

Kevin I feel I can relate to him the most!!

What does John Solo bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His narration was awesome I don't think you would have found the emotion of the characters as much if just reading..

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

For my friends,for my family,for myself

Any additional comments?

I can not wait for the second book to come come in audio it's bobby story which is good cause has to redeem himself. You can buy it to read but hoping john solo narrates it will be worth the wait!!

Exactly what it says it is

I was intrigued by the premise of Chaser, and curious to see how the author expanded on it... but they didn't. There were a few moments where I thought the entire story was about to turn on it's head. I thought a vaguely unlikable character introduced early on may turn out to be the real hero, which would have been really cool and fascinating way to take the story. Kevin is a really sweet romantic interest and I was absolutely rooting for his happy ending. Overall, Chaser is a sweet story without much depth besides what the summary includes. It's an enjoyable read.

My life in print.

I couldn't help but be haunted by this book. The author accurately captured my life. I would have been deeply affected by the weight loss too, as I love beefy men.
