Staff Pick of the Week
Chase Me If You Can by Heather Frances
Chase Me If You Can
by Heather Frances

“Okay, so. Storm chasers. STORM CHASERS. The second I heard this book existed, I was done for. I have always had a thing about tornadoes (the chaos, the power, the absolute audacity of them), and Heather Frances took all of that and wrapped it in the slowest, swooniest burn I have read in a while. The tension between these two is a category five. And the boudoir scene? I had to put the book down and collect myself. I did not stand a chance.”
