STEALING HARPER by Molly McAdams is the second book in her
Taking
Chances series. I was torn about reading it since I
read Taking Chances
and knew what to expect in the end. It is heart shattering
but how could I
resist Chase and Brandon once again?This story is told in
Chase's point of
view. Chase is the kind of guy who you would call a player.
He doesn't do
relationships and the only thing that matters to him is
getting what he wants
from a girl and sending her on her way. He fell for Harper
from the minute
he met her and it bothers him since this is not the norm for
him. What is
wrong with him? How is this girl getting under his skin? He
tries to fight his
feelings for her, but the pull she has on him is insane. He
knows he isn't
good enough for her but he doesn't want her with anyone else
either.
Chase backs off from Harper and one of his best friends
Brandon starts to
go out with her. This kills Chase but he knows Brandon is
the better man
and just keeps running from his feelings. Seeing the two of
them together
breaks his heart and still he runs. He tries to ignore
Harper and she hates
this. It makes her crazy and she can't stay away from him.
It's killing her
that he won't talk to her. She tries to move on
with Brandon but it hurts her
every day that Chase keeps running away from her. She is
falling in love
with both of them and can't stop it even though she knows
it's wrong to
have feelings for Chase while being with Brandon. One day
she gives in to
those feelings and their lives will never be the same.
Chase knows what he is doing is wrong but he just can't let
her go. She is
his everything even though she is with Brandon. Brandon
asks him time
and time again if he has feelings for Harper and he keeps
denying it. His
friends yell at him to let her go, let her be happy and he
just can't do it.
After Harper and Chase get together she goes back to
Brandon. Soon
after, she knows she can't fight her feelings for Chase
anymore, she breaks
up with Brandon and goes to Chase. Then the evil Trisha
shows up and
ruins everything. This will just break your heart. Keep
the tissues close by
as you will NOT be able to stop!
STEALING HARPER just about killed me. Why and how did Molly
McAdams break my heart all over again? I barely got through
what
happened to Chase in Taking Chances and then to read it from
his point of
view in STEALING HARPER? Heartbreaking and impossible to
walk away
from. I will keep all of these people in my heart for a
long time to come.
I've never had a book effect me or stay with me like these
two have. I'm
glad Molly wrote this one even if she broke our hearts all
over again. As readers we
all need the closure this book will bring us.
Chase Grayson has never been interested in having a
relationship that lasts longer than it takes for him and his
date to get dressed again. But then he stumbles into a
gray–eyed girl whose innocence pours off her, and
everything changes. From the minute Harper opens her mouth
to let him know just how much he disgusts her, he's hooked.
But a princess deserves a Prince Charming who can make
her dreams come true. Not a guy who can turn her life into a
nightmare.
All good intentions go out the window when Harper starts
to fall for the guy Chase has come to view as a brother. He
wanted to protect her by keeping her away, but he can't
stand to see her with anyone else, and he'll do anything to
make her his. But when it comes down to Harper choosing
between the two, will Chase have the strength to step back
from the girl who has become his whole world if it means
she'll be happy?
Lines will be crossed. Friendships will be put to the
test. And hearts will be shattered.
