So obsessed 🥰

I loved Chasing Smoke, book two in The Mercer Family series from the characters to the storyline this book had me completely engaged. I also had the added benefit of listening to the audio version of this story and the cast of narrators did an amazing job that absolutely added to my enjoyment of this book!
Collins and Ansel have known one another for such a long time and they have both been grieving the loss of Caleb, her husband and his best friend. What they didn’t expect was to find something growing between them and the additional guilt that came with that. What they also didn’t expect was for Caleb to have had a big secret that was now coming to light. Coming to terms with it all and finding a new normal for each of them but doing it together solidifies their new relationship and opens their future to so many wonderful possibilities.

Piper Rayne, you’ve done it again! Chasing Smoke is a beautifully moving story about loss, friendship and finding the courage to love again. Collins and Ansel stole a little piece of my heart, and watching them find their way towards their HEA was worth every single tear.

If you love your romance with heart, soul, a little laughter and ALL THE FEELS, then this one needs to be on your TBR. Just make sure you have those tissues ready!

WOB65 Verdict: A heartfelt, emotional, tissue-worthy romance that reminds us it’s never too late to find love again. 💜📚

Talk about a heartbreaking situation, a guy in love with his best friend’s widow. 😭
I knew this was going to make me cry, and it did! I can’t imagine going through grief like Collins and Ansel did. But, these two also made me laugh, sigh and swoon.
This was so relatable and realistic. These characters felt pain, tension, chemistry, desire and guilt - everything you’d expect in their situation. They grew, healed and learned from each other; watching their relationship develop organically was beautiful.
I loved the small town of Echo Lake and catching up with characters from the previous book and the wider community.
I’m looking forward to more Mercer Family romance.

I absolutely LOVED everything about this romance! It is so very full of many real life issues and this book handled them in the best ways!

I laughed, I cried….a lot, I felt it all as Collins and Ansel moved thru this journey of heartbreak to come out the other side and realize it was NEVER on them and finally get that once in a lifetime love! ❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely loved this book and the packaging in which was delivered! Felt so personal and unique!

Absolutely love this series so much!! I loved every character, I can’t decide who my favorite is!!
