The Chase by Elle Kennedy

Why, oh, why, oh, why??? Why did Fitz have to be so incredibly frustrating?
This was a very entertaining read which definitely had potential, but, unfortunately, I cannot say that I truly liked it.
The reason for this is one person, and one person only: Colin Fitzgerald. This man got on my damn nerves and he just simply did not deserve Summer. He did not appreciate her, he even looked down on her, and he was entirely unreasonable. He could not make up his damn mind, which also made him the biggest hypocrite ever: he hated Summer's supposed "drama", but the only drama between them ever came from Fitz's utter inability to be a normal or decent person. God, he was a douche.
Anyway, like I said, this novel did entertain me as it surely had plenty of things I liked: Summer was a nice and fun main character, Brenna and Miller were both awesome side characters (funny too), and Hunter seemed very sweet.
Honestly, I freaking wish Summer would have ended up with Hunter instead of the douche. I mean, why the hell didn't she? I get that we hardly got to read about any of their interactions, but even so, he was so much better. I don't get Summer's choice, I really don't. I also just feel really bad for him with how everything turned out. Nothing ever really gets resolved for him and he doesn't deserve the shitty situation he's in now.
Long story short, this novel had its upsides and its downsides, but I think the downsides weighed a bit more heavily for me. I just couldn't look past Fitz's douchiness, which, in result, also ruined the romance for me. Add to that the complete absence of a side plot and you're left with some entertaining scenes, but otherwise merely empty feelings and an annoying male main character.
