Today I’m excited to participate in the Release Blitz of ‘Chasing The Sun’ by Carrie Elks. This is a Contemporary Romance novel and the seventh standalone book in the Angel Sands series.
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.

That brief touch made her shiver. “Not really.”
He chuckled against her skin, kissing his way up to below her ear, his breath hot against her sensitive flesh. “How about this?” he asked, sliding his mouth to her jaw.
She wanted to turn, to capture his lips with hers, but he was holding her too tightly.
“Or this?” He ran his fingers through her thick hair, his gaze catching hers. His eyes were dark, needy, and sent a shot of electricity through her veins.
Pushing the straps of her dress down past her shoulders, his fingers teased her skin as he pressed his warm lips against hers. He took his time as he kissed her, his movements slow and sure.
