Jamie Engel's Reviews > Chasing Leo

Anything that Michelle writes…am I gonna read? Yup. Am I going to read in less than 24 hours? Also YUP! I absolutely devoured this one and always a sucker for a goalie.

This story follows Leo and Ellie. After a sudden passing, Ellie inherits the Zodiac hockey team, which just so happens to be the team her ex is on, who she has not had in contact with in 10 years. When life finally brings them together again it’s quickly apparent that everything they had is still there but something is not as it seems…

I absolutely loved that Michelle added the bit of suspense into this one. It seriously kept me guessing the whole time.
Leo and Ellie were seriously such the perfect match. As soon as they saw each other again, the chemistry and the fire was still there, even after 10 years. The spice was delicious, the relationship progression was so swoony!! I am obsessed with Leo. He was just as obsessed with Ellie as he was 10 years prior. He never stopped loving her.

Michelle did a such great job of building the angst with the dual timeline, giving flashbacks to the 10 years prior when Ellie and Leo fell in love, and the tragedy that separated them. I don’t care what anyone says…I love dual timelines.

This was such a great start to the series and I cannot wait to read more hockey from Michelle. Thank you to Michelle and team for the eARC,
