BOOKWORM REVIEW: Chasing Alys by Morgana Bevan



RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 
STEAM: 🔥🔥🔥

I LOVE THIS BOOK! 

Before I jump into my review, I wanted to backtrack for a second. Full disclosure: I am not really a big fan of rock-star romance. I know it can be said with a lot of romance genres and tropes, but I just find them to be so one-note (pun intended). I think what I find so tedious about them is that it's usually about a band member with a serious substance abuse problem and commitment allergies trying to find love, and I can only name a couple that had depth.

That concern made me wary about tackling Morgana Bevan's latest release Chasing Alys. BUT I loved Between Takes, so I wanted to give this a shot.

And Morgana did not disappoint.

What I loved about Chasing Alys was that it did not follow the stereotypical rock star romance trope. Ryan is sweet, kind, and wholesome. He genuinely cares about Alys, is forthcoming with his feelings and intentions, and respects her boundaries.

I think both Alys and I were thrown for a loop at this twist.

While she was the one with understandable commitment issues, what I adore about Alys is that she is smart, loyal, and tough. Two books in, I find that this seems to be a consistent theme in Morgan Bevan's heroines, and I love it. 

I thought this book was so refreshing. It is somewhat of a slow burn as Ryan and Alys go through becoming friends and processing their attraction to each other.

If you feel the same way about rock star romance as I do, I would definitely recommend picking up this book. It has set the bar high for other books in that genre for me.

** I am voluntarily reviewing an advance copy of this book.**

Chasing Alys is now available.

ABOUT THE BOOK

When love’s song takes over, I’m forced to find the beat.

Heartbreak has been my dance partner for years, but I’m done. Love is a complication I no longer want. Especially from a rockstar.

Ryan Evans is the very definition of heartbreaker. Women line up so he can rock their worlds.

Not me. I’m determined to resist his charms.

Who cares if he has striking blue eyes, and a voice that lights me up? Our beats are thoroughly out of sync.

I am definitely, one hundred per cent, never again waking up to a stupid thank you note, for a night that probably shouldn’t have happened, with a guy who’s already on a plane out of here.

Except, there’s something about Ryan’s charming determination that gets past my defences. He creeps into my heart… and my bed, until I’m so wound up in him, there’s only one way it can possibly end…

Heartbreak! Mine. Again.

CHASING ALYS is a full length steamy rock star romance. It is the first book following Rhiannon and the first in the True Platinum Series.
