I love this book. It feels real. The characters are believable. The emotions are in reach. The only downside was the emotionally wrenching ending being a total cliffhanger--as in, what do you MEAN I can't read the next line? Is that it? Is that all I get for now....?

j'ai parfois eu un peu de mal avec la façon dont cette histoire nous est racontée (des phrases très courtes et des clichés assez nombreux et pas toujours "bien" exploités) mais petit à petit je suis tombée amoureuse de Red et Caleb. Ils avancent dans la vie, se posent des questions, réagissent en conséquence des actes de l'autre et petit à petit ils lâchent prise. L'intrigue est somme toute simple mais sympathique et une chose qui est sûre est qu'il est difficile de le lâcher avant de l'avoir terminé, la curiosité nous poussant toujours vers l'avant !

Finally! I have read this amazing different romance on Wattpad. I have read it a lot of times. And now it is going to be published. I loved that.
The story line is so unique and well written that it caught me from page one. Red and Caleb are just the couple that have all the problems and they have to deal with a lot. But I always cheered for them. They have an amazing chemistry among them that many only dream of. You just fall in love with these two main characters. They are so well described that they feel alive. Red annoys me sometimes but that is a part of her character in the story. I just want to shake her awake and let go of her thoughts.
The story could take place in real life. I was so caught in the book, that I just had to keep on reading.
The book has it all: drama, action, romance, humor, emotions, love, steamy scenes, passion, chemistry and a lot more.
But I would have wished there were not all the unanswered questions in the end. I know there is a second book coming now. The book is written in short chapters and is not that long either but still it is filled to the brim with action, love and drama.
I can only recommend this book to everyone.

Highly addictive story line, that had me burning right through the pages, I completely devoured it in one sitting! It was full of angst, drama, hope, and some serious sexy times that will have you blushing! Overall I'd say it was a great first read, it had plausible plot, likable characters, a little drama filled backstory and it was all blended together nicely. This was a first read for me, and I think it's safe to say I'll be back for more. Definitely a can't miss read!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this title.

One man's journey to be with the one woman he can't live without. Can the wild college boy be with just one woman?

Readers will be on pins and needles as they search for the answer...will they get together?

Veronica "Red" is used to toughing things out on her home. Being homeless is something she will just have to cope with. Tonight, Red is pushing all her worries aside and having some fun. The one thing she wasn't expecting was for a man like Caleb to waltz into her life.

Caleb knows Red is the one for him the minute his eyes land on her. There is just something so captivating about her. Only problem is, Red doesn't seem as interested in him. From that moment on, Caleb lives only to show Red that he is just the guy she needs in her life, but Red is not about to make things easy.

I was hooked from page one of CHASING RED! The attraction between Caleb and Veronica (Red) is instant and explosive. Red fights Caleb at every turn. She is unsure of herself and afraid to be close to someone, especially a man. Caleb is willing to give Red all the time in the world, which is wonderful to see in this day and time. I just love Caleb... he's strong, playful, confidant and sexy. He never fails to make Red laugh with his brash behavior and witty comments. He is just the type of guy Red can use in her life. I cannot wait to see where book two, ALWAYS RED, takes these two.

This book is unexpected. Chasing Red is engaging, sexy, and an okay read that will make you look forward for the happy ending.

I had a love-hate relationship with Veronica. She has her issues (which annoys me big time), I just wished she’d be brave enough to fight for what she really wants.

Caleb *dreamy sighs* is just too good for her. He’s a previous man whore who decided to reform and stick to one girl but the girl isn’t interested (or so it seems). Veronica is too scared to give in to her emotions – Caleb is willing to wait, respecting her wishes. (I don’t think she sees what she has right in front of her eyes).

A whole lot of trust issues that will tire you at times, but Caleb makes it all bearable.

Caleb is trying to climb into her walls, and just as when she was almost ready to voluntarily topple it down, his past came running back and destroys everything he worked hard and hoped for – will they have a happy ending?

I have to say, this book was a great surprise!! From the synopsis, I knew Chasing Red was a Wattpad hit --and now I know why!!! Right off the bat, I liked Isabelle Ronin's writing style and knew from 10% into the novel that I was going to enjoy it. Caleb and Veronica (Red) were an unlikely couple from opposite ends of the economic spectrum, but as fate would have it, they were completely meant for each other. When Veronica finds herself in financial dire straits, Caleb (who is basically a stranger), makes her an offer she can't refuse. From that point the chemistry between the two was electric and I thought Isabelle Ronin did a great job of organically developing their friendship/relationship. Chasing Red was well paced and being that it's the first in a two book series, I figured there would be a cliffhanger. The good news is we will be getting the rest of Veronica and Caleb story in Always Red (due out 11/7/17). I NEED THAT BOOK NOW!! Chasing Red is a 4 star book that you will not want to miss!!
