Chloe Peterson is having a bad night. A really bad night. The large bruise on her cheek can attest to that. And when her car skids off the side of a wet country road straight into a ditch, she’s convinced even the gorgeous guy who rescues her in the middle of the rain storm must be too good to be true. Or is he?
As a successful photographer who frequently travels around the world, Chase Sullivan has his pick of beautiful women, and whenever he’s home in San Francisco, one of his seven siblings is usually up for causing a little fun trouble. Chase thinks his life is great just as it is—until the night he finds Chloe and her totaled car on the side of the road in Napa Valley. Not only has he never met anyone so lovely, both inside and out, but he quickly realizes she has much bigger problems than her damaged car. Soon, he is willing to move mountains to love—and protect—her, but will she let him?
Chloe vows never to make the mistake of trusting a man again. Only, with every loving look Chase gives her—and every sinfully sweet caress—as the attraction between them sparks and sizzles, she can’t help but wonder if she’s met the only exception. And although Chase didn’t realize his life was going to change forever in an instant, amazingly, he isn’t the least bit interested in fighting that change. Instead, he’s gearing up for a different fight altogether…for Chloe’s heart.

When Chloe’s car skids off the road, Chloe
thought that it was just another mark on exactly how bad a time she was going
through. Little did she know that her ‘Knight in shining armour’ was already on
his way. Chase did not mean to fall for any random girl he met on the road when
he had his pick. But that is exactly what happens to him. Trying to help the
unfortunate person whose car had taken a nose-dive into a ditch, Chase planned
to help Chloe till she could find her own way. But their chance meeting wasn’t
just a chance meeting after all, may be it was destiny!
Chloe & Chase met on the Highway of love.
Literally!
Chloe Peterson has a past that’s still
haunting her. As a result she has walled up her heart in order to protect it
from further heartbreaks. While on the run from her ex-husband, when she meets
Chase and has the chance to know the Sullivan family a bit better [and a lot about
Chase] her heart slowly starts to melt. As for Chase, he feels an immediate
pulls towards Chloe. But he realizes that he would have to work hard to get
Chloe to open up. Both the leading characters are loveable. While Chloe comes
with a lot of baggage, Chase is perfect for her because he doesn’t really ‘push’
her for anything.
While the language was easy to get into, I
felt as if the whole plot was a bit rushed. I mean the first meeting and the proclamation
of love happened practically within a couple of days. I personally don’t believe
in love at first sight – lust at first sure, but not love. So it was a bit
difficult for me to ‘believe in’. If we overlook the time factor, this is a
good romance. I particularly enjoyed a couple of interaction between Chase and
Chloe and Chase and Marcus.

Love your graphics on this review, Debdatta! I never believed in love at first sight either, until I met the man who's now my husband. Within four days of meeting him, I knew we'd be married. It was just so weird, because I'm not that kind of person at all. But when it's right, it's right. I guess, you just know :-D
