Caught in the Chase by Kacey Shea was an inspiring, heart wrecking and gut wrenching ride. The author took me on an emotional journey with some complex characters and their complicated feels. This is the kind of angsty romance that breaks my heart but also fill my heart with all consuming emotions.
Chase and Alicia has a more than complex history. One that is ridden with guilt, shame and reckless decisions. They have a common enemy. Addiction. Now Alicia is volunteering at a community centre for ...more

"Because it's the truth! It happened! You don't get to rewrite history. You don't get to erase me."
Chase Matthews is the bad boy that every body loves to hate and Kacey Shea's story writing skills eloquently rise up to the challenge, paving out an addictive, complex and flawed journey to redemption.
Caught in the Chase is so much more than I could've hoped for. Unsure of what to expect I was completely blown away by the depth of Alicia and Chase's story. Layered with pain, anger and regret, both ...more

First things first … *sigh* you gotta start at the beginning with this series. The books are interconnected. Also, this particular book ends in a pause to the journey and it’s necessary. This story is emotionally driven and fueled by a lot of heart wrenching conflict within our leads. They have a history. They have a past. They have struggles. Their life is dramatic and full of conflict. This is one of those stories where you dread turning the page at the same time as you can’t wait for the next

If you have read the other books in this series you'll be familiar with Chase and Alicia. All these books are well worth reading and I recommend them all. That being said, I think if you wanted to jump in here, with this book, you could fairly easily. Are there characters that reappear and previous events referenced? Yes, they do and yes, there are, but I felt that everything was very well laid out and explained in such a way that you could dive in and you'd be just fine.

Caught in the Chase is a story that will grip hard and will hold your heart within the words of the pages. It is heartbreaking and emotional and one that will have you on the edge of your seat. Two characters that are broken, complicated and flawed are undeniably drawn to each other. Their story is not an easy one and at times will leave you feeling raw and angsty. Chase and Alicia are characters with similarities that are evident, however complications and hurdles seem to stand in their way at

I received an ARC of this book in return for an honest review.
Wow. What can I say, I certainly wasn’t expecting a book that gives a lesson in humility, acceptance, addiction, forgiveness and understanding. This book blew me away, Kacey certainly didn’t shy away from writing about some pretty serious issues that people face.
Casey and Alicia are two broken characters, who also happen to hate each other. The story of how they come together was so good, the history they share and the problems they ...more

“So, you still want to be here all summer?” she says, stopping at the receptionist desk to grab something from behind the counter. Does she really think I’d so easily quit? That I’m scared of a little hard work?
“Tell me what to do.”
“You’re up for anything?” She shoves a shirt and badge at my chest.
Anything. “Hell, yeah.” I don’t think her idea is the same as mine. Disappointing. I pull the center’s volunteer shirt on over my plain white tee and meet her gaze. “Hit me with your best.” I tip my c ...more

Chase and Alicia's book is LIVE and available to read with KU! I hope you enjoy this book. This couple has totally consumed me as a writer and I poured everything into this one. Flawed, complex characters and heavy subject matter make this book a page turner you won't want to put down!

Caught in the Chase is book 3 in the Caught series and this time it's Alicia and Chase's turn in the spotlight!
While the author did an exceptional job telling the story of these two characters, keep in mind that the journey doesn't end here. Book 3 is the first in a duet setting the stage and the tone for a very gut wrenching, heartwarming, emotional roller coaster that you're sure to love! This book is HEAVY on the FEELS!

(4 stars)
So to even understand half of what's going on, I do suggest you read the previous stories. Chase and Alicia were a big part of Callie's story. Since I did read the previous stories, this story was a bit rough for me; I have realized I am not a forgive and forget type of person, more like a die in hell type. There is so much I want to say about this story, but I also don't want to spoil things. So, I'll just stick with the basics. Alicia and Chase were both part of wha ...more

Chase is a mess! A huge mistake leaves him with regret and community service hours to fulfill. He gets sent to his uncles, out of town to work those hours.
Alicia takes an internship for the summer out of town. Her parents don’t like it, and her trust is on hold because she chose to go, but she needs to do this for herself.
What are the odds they’d end up in the same place? Yep, you guessed it! What happens when they spend the summer together? Lots of things that you want to read about! This book ...more

I was a little leery going into Caught in the Chase purely for personal reasons because I HATED Chase from Callie's book. I despised how he treated her and honestly I figured he was irredeemable. I was wrong! I am so glad that I read this book because I actually fell for Chase. He is so beautifully broken and sure he's done some awful stuff but he has redeemable qualities. He deserves his chance at a happy ever after. I liked that Alicia stood her ground and wouldn't lower her standards for him.

I haven't read the other books in this series but was able to follow the storyline. This is book one of this couples journey so get ready for that ending ( unlike me ).
Chase and Alicia have a very complicated history that was revealed slowly and I liked that I got to know them without prior opinions. This story deals with addiction and at times it is a heavy hard read. Like me you may find yourself not liking either main characters but stick with it because it is worth it. These two are flawed ...more

Another gripping story by Kacey Shea.
Emotional,passionate and compelling Alicia and Chase's road to Romance is not all plain sailing and sometimes it was hard to read.They are both troubled and imperfect,but they are drawn to eachother and even though Alicia has her own sobriety to think of she feels strongly that she wants to help Chase.
Their chemistry is magnetic,steamy and something they can't deny,with the subject of addiction what was meant to be a summer fling develops into something more ...more

While neither Chase nor Alicia has quite been my favorite in this series, I was really excited to see what Kacey Shea did with their story. And holy heck did it completely blow me away, as that Caught in the Chase was not what I expected for them! The angst, the emotion, the drama, the heartache......I felt like I was holding my breath a lot just waiting for them to figure out that there was something special between them. I know Alicia had reservations because of Chase's history with Callie, bu

If you've been reading the "Caught" series, Chase and Alicia will not be strangers to you. They've played pivotal parts in books 1 & 2. But Caught in the Chase, we learn more about the real Chase and Alicia, what they think, what they've been through and why they act or react they way they have and do.
This book has so many emotions, and what I call "hidden agendas". There's so much love and support. But there's also the lack of too! This story has new people and a new setting and a bunch of new ...more

This is the 3rd book in this awesome series and is Chase and Alicia’s story, and these two are complex and flawed characters who are drawn to each other. The chemistry between these two is undeniable, and they have many challenges to overcome for them to move forward together. This is a well written story which is raw, gritty, heartbreaking, tragic, emotionally charged, realistic, relatable, and with secrets, bad choices, which all leads to a steamy and powerful storyline. I look forward to read

Oh my heart!
Chase and Alicia are not the simplest of couples, they are flawed and complicated but if anything that made me love them so much more. Their story is far from perfect but who's is right?!
It was raw and real and as quick as it broke my heart it was filled with hope that all would be ok.
I can't wait for their conclusion in Caught In Us.
I know the rest of their journey is going to be far from easy. It's going to be a gut filled, heart wrenching rollercoaster of a ride but I'm ready. ...more

Chase and Alicia's journey has it all. This is one of those stories that'll stay with you for a long time. The story is captivating, inspirational, passionate, intense, heartfelt and much more; masterfully crafted, with real life struggles, live changing events, and a much deserved redemption for someone I tought was already lost.

Now, I went into this book totally blind, not realizing it was part of a series, but I will definitely be adding the other books to my (very long) TBR list pronto!
This did not deter me from reading this book, as I went in with no pre-existing knowledge of the characters.
Kacey did a great job with the characters of Chase and Alicia. They were well-developed, and I found myself rooting for them to get together.

I don’t even know where to start.
This book was heartbreaking and emotional. Chase and Alicia both have demons they’re fighting. They’ve both made mistakes and they’re trying hard to change.
But this story isn’t just about Chase and Alicia. It’s about so much more. The real life stuff no one likes talking about.
I couldn’t put it down. Just when you think you know what’s going to happen Kacey throws another curve and shocks you.

Wow, I just finished this one and I can't even think about picking up another book right now! This one hit all the marks...and left me hangin'.
I never thought Chase could redeem himself, but Kacey did a remarkable job of making him someone you want to believe in. I love the Chemistry between Chase and Alicia, they are two broken souls that just fit together. I need closure for these two, I need the HEA, I need therapy after this emotional ending....I need Caught in Us ❤ ...more

Well it's official.. Kacey Shea is trying to kill me! My heart cannot handle endings like that... so many emotions, so much truth & now I will count the minutes until Caught In Us!
Seriously, Chase & Alicia's story was not for the faint of heart... full of such realness, honest emotions & some pretty tough subjects... these two definitely had/have the odds stacked against them.

Caught in the Chase by Kacey Shea is book 3 in the Caught series.
We first meet Chase in book 1 Caught in the Flames, but he crashed and burner and is in need of redemption.
Alicia hates Chase but is somehow drawn to him at the same time.
These two are incredibly real and emotionally driven and will take you along for the ride.
This book may rip your heart out but will also put it back together.

Wow, what a great story! Chase and Alicia have a lot of story to tell. Crazy chemistry! This book kept me so engrossed, I didn’t realize it was over until it was. I can’t wait for the next book!
Chase and Alicia’s story was a beautiful, inspiring tale of two imperfect broken people trying to make amends for their past mistakes.
I love how Kacey was able to humanize some of her more difficult characters, and make you root for them! I now officially love Chase and Alicia when I’ll admit, they both weren’t my fav characters before. I can’t wait for more!!!

I wasn't really sure what to expect from Alicia and Chase. I felt like they both messed up a lot in previous books so I was interested to see how their relationship would work.
I like it ended up being a beautiful redemption story. They are both damaged and loathe themselves to some extent but they also want to be better. The book starts with both of our characters making mistakes. Chase's mistake is quite dire. And both end up in AA meetings and in recovery. I think this part was fantastic.

Chase and Alicia have a past which is very complicated filled with so much pain & bad decisions it made it hard to breathe feeling what they felt. Now they come face to face again when Alicia comes back to do some volunteering for community center where Chase is doing his community service. And that's all that I'm willing to say about that because of the powerful story that needs to be experienced through all readers eyes/hearts (not reviews) since it's apparent Kacey Shea has put her heart & so
