ARC Review of Chased by Clarissa Wild

Chased by Clarissa Wild
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Chased by Clarissa Wild is the story of Chase and Syrena. This is book 3 in a series of books on the dark side by Ms. Wild. The others in this series are Caged and Locked. Chased is Syrena and Chase's story and tells events after Chase purchases Syrena from an illegal sale. This is a dark romance and oh my, how I love dark romances and the twisted, dark, naughty heroes which is what we have with Chase- completely totally 100 %. He may be all sorts of bad and wrong but he is all sort of good and right when it comes to the heroine Syrena. Chase lives by his own agenda of rules and because of these, he was swiftly falling into a black hole. What Chase was looking for, needing in Syrena was innocent and vulnerable, well whats more so than a blind girl. Yet what he got was something so much more. Intelligent, determined and stubborn is just the first three words I could think of to describe Syrena. She is a scrapper; her strength shined thru first in Caged. Now we get her story and see what she is really made of and there are layers over layers that are being peeled back in her story which show us who and what is Syrena. Chase is all kinds of kinkery , dark and sexy yet he has his own code of honor that he abides by and takes very seriously. He is very complex and unique and that made me fall for him. He was different and that difference to him made this story even hotter.
Syrena was independent even though she was blind. I had mad respect for her and loved that she still kept her independence in the face of her blindness although I did wonder how she was able to. I wish that had been touched on a bit more. She was not the shy type, she was sassy and strong. So not the retiring type. I loved that about her and how she faced adversity head on. She was the right woman for Chase. There are twists within twists and turns in this story. Chase has secrets that he hides from Syrena. I loved that Ms. Wild kept me guessing in this story and the final huge twist was a doozy but what a great one!! There are some really sizzling and smoking hot love scenes in this read. I would recommend this to anyone who likes their books dark, rich and sweet!!
