A whirlwind is coming to Angel Sands… Take a vacation from taking vacations. That's Lydia Paxton’s plan when she arrives in Angel Sands to celebrate her baby niece’s christening. Organizing trips of a lifetime for her exclusive New York clientele has taken its toll. Now she just wants to kick back, relax, and spend time with her family. But, as her sister tells her, Lydia always leaves devastation in her wake. This time, the devastation goes by the name of Jackson Lewis. As soon as he sets eyes on her, Jackson knows Lydia’s trouble with a capital T. The problem is, the attraction between them is off the scale. It’s a good thing Jackson swore off relationships years ago. He’s certain he has it all under control. Until this confirmed workaholic finds himself the foster father of a stray dog, and playing hooky from work thanks to Lydia’s influence. And at night, she’s curled up next to him in his bed. Now the clock is ticking. They have twelve days together and then she’ll be gone. All they have to do is NOT fall in love with each other.

I’ve been reading the Angel Sands series since the first book came out in 2019, and I’ve loved every single one of these books. So when I read the 7th book ‘Chasing The Sun’ was coming out I got super excited. And I was lucky enough to be able to read an ARC. Every book in this series is a standalone.

In ‘Chasing The Sun’ we meet Jackson Lewis. Jackson is known as being a workaholic playboy. Not that he treats woman badly, not at all.. but he is supposed to have a lot of flings. Well.. let people think that. The truth is Jackson, is just a workaholic working 80 hours a week. He can definitely use a break, and when his best friend asks him to pick up his sister in law from the airport he does it thinking this will give him a little break before he can get back to work. But Lydia Paxton is the most beautiful, fun and exciting woman he has seen in a long time. And its very hard to stay away from her, even if she is only here for two weeks.

The fun thing about this series, is the fact we get to read a little bit about future and past characters from the series. Without it feeling like you need to have read the previous books. But I definitely love the fact I know all these characters. And throughout the previous books I read a little about Jackson and Lydia. And I was really looking forward to reading their story. And I was not disappointed.

From the very first page I definitely loved this book. Jackson and Lydia are really fun to get to know. They seem to be complete opposites, but from the start there is this chemistry between them that is flying off the pages. Jackson has been hurt in the past, and has build this ‘safe’ life for himself. But Lydia makes him want to be different. Lydia is this free, fun and kind of intense girl who loves to travel and has made her career out of her hobby. And from the moment she sees Jackson, she starts doubting her way of life.

I loved the connection between Jackson and Lydia. They where so good together, and I loved how they both got better for being in each other’s life. They only have these two weeks together and they have to make every minute count. And they sure do.

I love the setting of Angel Sands. There’s just something about this charming sunny town that makes me want to keep on reading. And these books seem to get sexier and more fun every book I read.

‘Chasing The Sun’ was a very fun, romantic and sexy read I’d definitely recommend.

Check out my reviews of the previous books in this series:

Carrie Elks writes contemporary romance with a sizzling edge. Her first book, Fix You, has been translated into eight languages and made a surprise appearance on Big Brother in Brazil. Luckily for her, it wasn’t voted out. Carrie lives with her husband, two lovely children and a larger-than-life black pug called Plato. When she isn’t writing or reading, she can be found baking, drinking an occasional (!) glass of wine, or chatting on social media.
