I didn't finish this. I stopped at 25% and returned it. I bought Chasing Temptation before I realized it was the second in a series, so I went back and bought Chasing Trouble to read first. I didn't pay much attention to the description, though, and have realized it's just not for me.The heroine's name is Jenna Justice (so porny). She lives in a small town. Her mother is town home wrecker and has quite the reputation, which the town carries over to Jenna. Jenna is a kindergarten teacher and purposely lives her life on the straight and narrow, trying to outrun her mother's reputation. Except for the one night she's out of town trying to obtain grant money for an after school program. She sleeps with her best friend's slutty bull-riding brother. And then he conveniently comes back to town to recover from an injury. He'll be there all summer and apparently wants to continue things with Jenna despite their agreement that it was a one night thing.I totally don't understand someone staying in a small town despite the town's folk thinking poorly of her because of her mother's behavior. It isn't like she's destitute. She has skills she could take elsewhere. So, I just have a problem with the whole premise and it's best I not continue. A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint... Bad boys are the best kind of trouble... Kindergarten teacher Jenna Justice has lived her life by the book—right school, right career, right image. Too bad the townsfolk of Diamond, Kansas, have a hard time forgetting that she wasn’t born on the right side of the tracks. The only way J.J. can land her dream job is to keep her wild side buried and her reputation clean. But when she finds herself in another town, one without prying eyes, she allows herself one fantasy-filled night with her best friend’s bad boy brother.Professional bull rider Colt McCade is grounded for the summer with an injury. After their sizzling night together, he finds himself wanting to pick up where he and the prim and not-so-proper Ms. Justice left off. Problem is, she isn’t interested in his idea of “healing,” which involves ice cubes and a whole lot of heavy breathing. But the closer he gets, the more he sees that his fast-and-loose reputation could cost her the job of her dreams. He wants to do the right thing, but walking away from her could cost him everything…Review:What did I like about this story?? It was fun, sexy and it had heart. This is the first story I have read by this author and after reading this book, I will gladly read more of her work. I liked the story-line of the small town girl trying to distance herself from her mother's past. I thought it was well-written and I really got into the story and the characters. The only thing I would to love to have seen more of Yvonne cause more trouble, thought she a good baddie...lol Colt and Jenna are wicked hot from the get go and their chemistry is just explosive, lots of good sexy in this book! There is heart to this story too. I felt so bad for Jenna, she is trying so hard to get over things her mother has done, but you know small town gossips just won't let the past go sometimes. Jenna wants Cade, but of course he has his own past to get over. Cade's past has had to do with losing his parents at a young age and him not really dealing with their death until he comes back to Diamond. I liked how both of these characters are hurting and trying to deal with that and how it effects their relationship. I enjoyed their time alone at the lake, I thought that was a fun,sexy chapter and showed what a great couple they are.I did not see where anymore stories are listed in Goodreads for this, but the way the secondary characters are written in the story has me believing there will be more from Diamond. 4Stars
What do You think about Chasing Trouble (2014)?
DNF. I didn't like it. It was lame. Characters were stupid. Not my vibe.
