I'd probably rate this lower than 3 stars but I did make it through the whole thing; I usually reserve 1 & 2 stars to books I can't even finish, which is rare. After all, even 3 stars is in effect 60%, a failing grade. The premise sounded right up my alley but the execution - not so much. They jumped in so fast that I did not feel their emotion at all. The writing just didn't convey it. There were parts that really needed work. How can an author and editor not notice that the heroine, a 24 year old MBA student, "giggled" 3 times in a 2 page spread?
This is a great series. Probably not 4 stars though.
1. The stories are way too short 2. Not a huge amount of character development 3. Book was written in 2016. Chase had sex with Summer immediately after they met-he pulled out. He did this plan twice before he came inside her. They did not use condoms.They did not discuss any form of birth control or protection or testing for diseases. He's a billionaire and a professor. Yah, I believe that... 4. NO other women wanted him except students. He had no women stalking him. He didn't have any ex's. There is no mention of other women with the exception of Hannah (who was a student he saw his first year teaching). He's "gorgeous" a "billionaire" and "professor" - so older. But no women in his past, or present. Yah, I believe that... 5. This is the biggie for me. In the beginning of the series Summer was taking the class Chase taught because she wanted to. She didn't need it for credit to graduate. She could drop it...ect...Then later Chase had to get her into another class, because she dropped his, so she could graduate. Authors really need to remember what they wrote. Editors should catch these things.
I bought this series in 2016 and just read it. There was no real character development, I kept reading thinking it was coming because I hate to give up on a book or series. The typos, lack of proofreading before release and changing details mid paragraph are the worst I’ve seen in any ebook. I had previously determined some of it was due to technical issues but there are just was too many for that to be the case here. How this series has such a good overall rating is beyond me. Now, do I try to endure the other series I purchased from this author? I mean at this point they already have my money thankfully it’s not much.
I have the distinct pleasure in having had read this collection of Chosen...back before I truly understood how KU worked and the process and importance of reviewing said books... I would in a heartbeat read this series again, not just to do it but to be able to catch what I’ve might of missed. This collection will get you from the jump start and will keep you going until the very end... Any opinions expressed within this review are uniquely and completely of my own and I’m happily leaving this review.
fantastic love story chase and summer she is a student he is a billionaire businessman once he sees her he wants her but he had a bad experience before with a student who took him for alot....wummer wants no favors wants to be successful without his help....her ex comes to town and wants money or he will ruin her and chase with the videos he has taken of both.....chase of course comes to her rescue and finally after her graduation he asks her to marry him......of course there is so much in between this story from start to finish so you have to read it for yourself excellent reading
I am not a quitter, that is the only reason I finished this series. It just wasn't for me, and that happens. Very rushed and forced. Characters have sex after speaking maybe 10 words to each other. I get these were novellas, but it was too formulated for me.....conflict, make up, sex, repeat. Sorry just not my favorite.
Nice love story! Enjoyed reading this book. Summer and Chase had an instant attraction to one another. They had set backs in their relationship but in the end they made it.
I like the story well enough but I can't say that I was very impressed. It is well written, easy to read. What I miss in the story is more action and drama. I give only 3 stars because the author didn't keep me in suspense through the whole story.
CAPTIVATING, SEDUCTIVE AND FABULOUSLY ENTERTAINING!!! Title: Chosen Series: An Alpha Billionaire Romance Designation: Complete Box Set of Books One through Ten of Serial, Standalone, NO Cliffhanger Author: Ellie Danes Reading Platform: Kindle Unlimited My Rating: Five Captivating Stars***** This is the complete collection of all ten books of the Chosen Series by bestselling author Ellie Danes. I fell head over heels in love with this story and read and reviewed each of the books as they were initially released as part of a serial. Fortunately for you, Danes is now offering all ten books of the completed serial in one convenient, economical bundle. Lucky you - no waiting! I became totally smitten with Danes' work after reading her first published release, The Matchmaker Series, and quickly became a loyal reader and fan, so when she introduced Chosen, I could hardly wait to read it as well. This is my original review of Chosen by Him, the first book of the series. The story is fresh, contemporary, well crafted, realistic, romantic, and seductive. This is not erotica but does contain some adult material including some very tasteful sex scenes. The dialogue is smart, well executed and flows smoothly. The characters are well developed, captivating, engaging and quickly become the most important component in this story as seems to often be the case in many of Danes books. They take center stage and as the story unfolds, Danes does an exceptional job of the development of her two main players, Chase Kerns and Summer Farris. The narrative is exceptionally well written in the first person with his and her alternating points of view from the two protagonists. Danes skillfully combines these elements to craft a delightfully entertaining contemporary romance. Beautiful twenty four year old MBA student Summer Farris is intelligent, hard working and wants nothing more than to excel and become successful in her field. Her current goal is to win a business internship with her professor, handsome billionaire Chase Kerns whom she may have a teensy tiny crush like all the other girls in class. But when Summer is passed over for one of the five coveted available slots, she is angry and beyond devastated. She and her roommate Alyssa decide to drown their mutual disappointment at a local bar just off campus where she unfortunately sees Professor Kerns with one of his colleagues. After several drinks of liquid courage, Summer makes a complete fool of herself by confronting her professor and flees the bar, embarrassed and quite a bit tipsy. She decides to walk home but is conveniently offered a ride by the very handsome and quite amused Professor Kerns. Coincidence? I think not! Hmmm.......I wonder if the handsome Professor Kerns could be as attracted to the lovely Summer as she is to him. It seems he is! Billionaire businessman and professor Chase Kerns can have anything he wants including any woman so why can't he ignore the attraction he feels for his beautiful young student, Summer Farris? He's traveled that road once before, was badly burned and can't afford to make the same mistake twice but some attractions can not be ignored or denied and the lovely tempting Summer may be well worth the risk. Will Chase use his mistakes from the past to deny his future chance for happiness or will he give in to his desire and take a chance on love? Attraction flares! Sparks Fly! And passions ignite! Oh my! This could be the recipe for either for a steamy mind-blowing love affair or a perfectly horrible disaster. I wonder which it will be??? We'll see! No spoilers from me but I will say this......Beautiful, intelligent grad student who is hardworking, independent, career-minded, ambitious and very competitive-check! Handsome, charismatic billionaire who owns his own business but is also a college professor and is head over heels in lust with one of his students-check! A previous inappropriate relationship which ended in disaster and blackmail-check! A cruel,manipulative ex-boyfriend-check! Lies, deceit, betrayal, blackmail and a little old fashioned angst-check! Heated attraction, fiery passion, forbidden love and sweet romance-you bet! That and a whole lot more! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
I wish there was more of this book series. I would like to read how the two of them make a life and business together. I would tell anyone who want a get your mind off of life for awhile to read this. Great book
The Chosen series is a wonderful read about billionaire Chase Kerns and a college student, Summer Farris. They meet during a class that Chase teaches every year with one student staying on at the end to work in his company. These two have many trials and tribulations (you'll have to read the books to find out what those are...no spoilers here) but through it all their love stands strong. This series contains all the angst and drama needed to make it a very interesting read.
I enjoyed this series quite a lot. the characters were believable with a good story line. I would recommend these books and this author to my friends.
I really liked these books. A very believable cast in a good story line. I would recommend this author and this series to my friends. A nice easy read. Glad they got the bad guy.
I really liked this book it kept my interest and made me laugh at times as well. The story of a successful businessman that also teaches at the local college and one of his students whom are attracted to each other immediately!
However the reason for 4 stars is because of so many typos! A good editor would have made all the difference in the world!
As always, the author, Ellie Danes, does not let us down. Full of lust, sex, power, control and some violence, the Chosen by Him Series is absolutely Amazing. Each Series captures your attention and you cannot wait to read the next one. With each book, the excitement, sex, lust and longing grew and you never knew what was around the corner. Cannot wait to see what Ellie has in store for us next.
The story line was intriguing and I enjoyed it. However, the editing was awful and turned me off from the story. At one point a main character,s name is wrong. In addition, an assortment of pronouns did not match. The punctuation isn't much better. I would have kept better interest in the book if it had been proof read and edited properly.
This series is a little boring it plods along nothing in it fires the imagination. There is no real feeling of passion or chemistry between the lead characters Chase and Summer. The story just drifts along with no real purpose.
I enjoyed The Chosen Series by Ellis Danes. The way Summer and Chase met and how their relationship developed was so good to read. I also like how they overcame adversaries.
Read as far as the third party and just couldn't talk my self into completing, just had no interest in the main characters, they were really two dimensional, it was difficult to like them, never mind root for them as a couple.
It's a quick read. There's lots of jumping around and skips detail when needed. Wish they had read this a few times before publishing - lots of grammatical errors.
The characters are very stupid to be in grad school and a billionaire. Stupid fights. Summer is a very selfish and stupid. Not a very good l plot. I started skimming over stuff to get finished
The full Chosen series takes you on a ride of emotions with Summer and Chase. It all begins with an internship but ends as more. The characters are well developed but for me too nice. I wanted a little more. Still a great story.
