Chasing Her Fire: A Small Town Family Romance (The Bailey Brothers)

If enemies to lovers is your jam this is a must read!!! I will start by saying the books are best if you read them in order. I absolutely loved Logan and Cara! They were the story I was waiting for and I was not disappointed!! The build up between these two in the previous books made them the couple you absolutely wanted together!!! If you like to see character growth and spice you will bet both! The spice between these two was off the charts! I found myself laughing through most of the books and enjoyed the tender moments as well!! I can’t wait to start the last book to see how everything wraps up, but it will be bittersweet to leave this world! I definitely recommend this read!

I was waiting for this one! I love a good enemies to lovers trope and I knew Logan and Cara's story would be amazing. You could just feel the tension in every single book before this. This was also a great surprise pregnancy book and I ate up every second of this. Logan is the perfect book boyfriend and Cara really grew on me. I love that we keep getting more and more of the mystery, because I am just dying to know how it all turns out!

Lots of surprises in this book! Started out as a big “ hot” mistake, then a whoops & developed into a surprisingly happy & “hot” relationship with a big surprise at the end! I won’t ruin the ending, but very enjoyable book!! Highly recommend!

Could Chasing Her Fire have been more perfect?!!!! I was expecting to be irritated and frustrated. I should have had more faith in Claire Kingsley! LOVED it. Logan and Cara story might be my favorite of the series.Thanks to KU, I have been able to read this series back-to-back. I discovered Claire Kingsley through her collaboration with Lucy Score and had to dig deeper. So glad I did.

I have loved the tension between Logan and Cara since book 2 and have been eagerly waiting on them to put their anger to good use.😏 This story was so satisfying to read with great development and growth between the two of them. Add in little baby Baileys and *melt*.I've also been really enjoying the element of mystery throughout this series, with the stakes continuing to increase in each book. I can't wait to find out what happened with John and Eliza!!

Love this book. Love Cara and Logan’s romance story. Throughout books 2-4, readers can see that these two love to get in each other’s nerves. This book starts with the day that Cara gets pregnant. The book goes into when she finds out that she is pregnant. When Cara tells Grace that she needs a pregnancy test. Grace was shocked. They get to the store and Cara sees a lot of people, she knows so she convinces Grace to buy the pregnancy test for her. The one thing that Grace was wondering was who the father was. Cara tells her it is Logan which also surprised Grace. Grace tells Cara that she should tell Logan. When Cara tells Logan that she is pregnant, he knew that the baby was his. This book gives some of the story behind Cara’s childhood and how Cara’s mother neglected her. This book also gives the backstory of when these two met and the start of why they liked to argue. Love how these two end up together. Worth the read.

Ok I LOVED this story. I loved Cara and I loved Logan and I loved everything. And I have to start out by being honest and saying that I usually hate accidental pregnancy stories. Like HATE. I avoid them almost always. However I had to finish this series and I had faith in Claire Kingsley. I love the Bailey boys and their family, and I love the small town quirk and I’m ready to get some answers to the mystery that has been swirling since the beginning. AND Claire did not let me down! She created this beautiful story that didn’t use the pregnancy as THE story. It was something they dealt with but the story was so much more than just that. And it didn’t drive Logan and Cara apart but together.But I should focus. We all know the history of Cara and Logan and how they’ve always been at each other’s throats but you knew it was just crazy sexual tension. It was only a matter of time before that exploded and explode it did! I loved watching Logan step up immediately. It was so refreshing and amazing to see him absolutely flourish in his role as father to be. And also how he tried so hard with Cara and made sure she knew he was there and in it with her. His support never wavered no matter what Cara did.And it was also amazing to see Cara grow and be able to accept love. She pushed Logan a lot but you knew it wasn’t from a place of malice. She grew up in such a crappy way and found her people. To see her finally realize all the love that surrounded her was so great. Their banter was thankfully present and stayed throughout the story just with a little less bite, but it was great to see that we didn’t lose who Cara and Logan were. They were still themselves just figuring out how to adjust to their new life, and how they could do this together. It was just beautiful and low angst which is just sometimes exactly what is needed.The issues with Cara’s mother felt a little unfinished but honestly good riddance, because she was such a horrible human being. But it didn’t take away anything from the story. I loved catching up with old couples and I always love to see interactions with Cara and Grace so that was fun. This story just made my heart happy and I can’t wait to see what happens with Levi’s story and how the mystery wraps up!

5🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭Spanish & EnglishESP ::Acabo de descubrir a esta autora y me ha encantado. Si estilo de escritura es muy divertido, interesante y muy bien hecho. La serie me ha encantado y estoy leyendo todo lo que puedo. Empecé con el primer y segundo el libro, pero me brinqué a este porque amo a Logan y a Cara.Logan es el mejor novio de libro. Es guapo, bombero, divertido, leal y también es cariñoso, considerado y muy lindo. Cara es la neta. Su forma de hablar me encanta y el sentido del humor que tiene es el más divertido. Me encantan como pareja. Ambos descubren el amor en pareja y familia, pero me gusta mucho como Cara descubre también el amor propio en su libro.Hay muchos misterios por resolver aún y me urge el siguiente libro. La historia de Levi promete mucho y más con su “Juliet”... ¡Me urge!ENG ::I just discovered this author and I’m absolutely thrilled I did! Her writing style is funny, interesting and very well done. This series has captured my heart and I’m reading everything I can! I already read books 1 and 2 of the series but decided to go to this one. Logan is my fave Bailey and Cara is my favorite girl.Logan is THE book boyfriend. He’s a firefighter, hot, loyal, amazing sense of humor and nicknames but also understanding, romantic and swoony. Cara is a badass. I love her sense of humor and banter capacity. Her mom is toxic AF and her, finding love is amazing. Not only a partner’s love but self-love mainly.The books have lots of mystery (which I love). The characters are incredible and life in that town is a dream. What will happen? Levi’s story sounds epic... and her “Juliet” is going to be awesome!

I'm not sure how to feel about this book.It's a good one but... I guess the author neglected the *enemies* part. They forgave each other so fast,It felt like there wasn't any animosity between them at all. Like it was all an act, very hypocritical.Simply vanished. Then it's all slice of life.It gets dull quite fast. I thought it'd be a hotter book but nope. Also, the author could use some more interesting plot twist. It only gets interesting in the end, with the Montgomery mystery being stirred once more.Evan's book is still my fav.Also, I guess the author should not have made a parallel with Juliet and Romeo for the next book, except if she is meaning to kill both MCs in the end. There's nothing about love in this Shakespearean teenager idiocy. There are so many other love stories that could work better as parallel- Hades and Persephone for instance. It felt cliched.I hope we can read about the roots of the feud and the mystery of the treasure but I honestly am not expecting much about Levi and Annika's relationship. I guess I'd enjoy it more had I not known what the story would be like already.(English is not my first language).

**WARNING… this is book five in the Bailey Brothers series and it is written specifically to be read in order. If you haven’t read books 1-4, seriously… get started now. You could read this as a standalone title but you really wouldn’t get the full benefit. There are spoilers from the first four books in this review, so you have been pre-warned.**Right… let’s just get one thing clear from the off… I predicted this pairing as soon Cara appeared in book 2 as Grace’s rather crazy, brash and rather in-your-face best friend. In all honesty, her character irritated me a little initially. She’s a lot to deal with. Hot-headed, fiercely protective of her ‘Boo’, Grace and seemingly full of hatred and loathing for the gorgeous but brazenly annoying Bailey twin, Logan.Her behaviour towards Logan Bailey is full of angst, snark and sass. Whenever they are in close proximity to each other, the insults start to fly. They can’t stand each other, which is difficult when Grace marries Logan’s oldest brother Asher. This battle continues throughout books 3 and 4… but I have to say that I’d seen this coming. Sometimes, the depth of true feeling is disguised as the opposite of what we actually feel, and that is certainly true of these two.At the end of book 4, we see our hero, Logan, engaged in a very drunken sexual encounter with a likewise very drunk woman. It didn’t take me much to work out who that person was going to be. Of course, it’s his fiery, flame haired, arch nemesis and the woman he loves to hate… Cara Goulding…. Also affectionately known to him and him alone as ‘Evil Ariel’.In a bid to block it from their memory, they try to avoid each other, but that’s easier said than done and much to their utter annoyance, there’s an attraction that both are desperately trying to deny.Now, I don’t want to go into too much detail, but I had already guessed where this far from romantic entanglement was going to lead, but I love the way Kingsley has directed the story. Let’s just say, they are going to have to put their differences aside and learn to tolerate each other pretty damn quick!As I’d kind of hoped, tolerance soon becomes mutual respect, which in turn moves to friendship (with benefits!) and inevitably they end up admitting their feelings for each other. That hatred they displayed is replaced by a very deep, intensely passionate and incredibly unbreakable bond. Undying love and contentment; something Cara has never felt like she deserved.We start to see Cara in a totally different light. She’s always portrayed herself as so strong and almost belligerently intimidating, but as we learn more about her childhood and the awful excuse she has for a mother, you start to understand the reason behind why she is the way she is. She’s never felt love; not even from her mother. Always been told her Dad didn’t want to know her, which she discovers is far from the truth. Always made to feel like she couldn’t please her exasperatingly shallow mother who kept ringing up debts and expecting Cara to bail her out. I honestly changed my whole opinion of Cara in this one book. I didn’t dislike her in the previous books, but she came across as a little clingy, over-the-top and overbearing, particularly around Grace. But now knowing what she went through, it’s completely understandable and I love her for it. She’s badass and I totally get it.Logan… well, what is not to like? He’s a cheeky, sarcastic and straight talking hottie!! He’s fiercely loyal when it comes to his family and he will do anything to protect them… and when he finally gives in to his true feelings for Cara, she becomes his top priority. Loved up Logan is just the sweetest, most adorably caring man… he makes my heart melt.By the end of this book… well, I’m a puddle of emotion. I loved it so much and as each story has built and built, I feel like I know these people personally. Like I’m living this with them. Like the residents and town of Tilikum is real and I could go visit and meet them all in the Caboose for beers and meatloaf. Damn, I want these people to be real. I thought I loved the Jetty Beach series, but this is just as fabulous. I’m sad I have to wait for Levi’s story now… but I really can’t wait to finish off this incredible series.Well done Claire Kingsley, yet another amazing story… all the feels and so much love that my heart is full.

Cara & Logan hate each other and bicker and insult each other all the time... surely the cause of all that tension is sexual.... but we are thrown of the scent by Logan appearing to date Ginny in book 4.Cara has always been an intriguing character with a bizarre relationship with her best friend Grace (who she sometimes claims is the only person she likes). I love her brand of crazy and her adoption of Fiona & Skylar with Grace. We've had hints about her troubled childhood and her difficult relationship with her mum. But there is a lot the reader, and Logan, don't know about Cara. I love her Cara Karma!!Logan is laid back, dresses in swim trunks and non-matching tube socks and is a fan of the ladies! But after a drunk hook up with Cara he can't seem to get interested in other girls...Love Cara's new nickname Tiger and I love Gram and her mysterious ways!!! Overall didn't love this book quite as much as Gav & Skylar's story in book 4 as that was the funniest!I also love the authors 'Dear Reader' letter at the end where she explains a bit more about how the characters developed. And I like the epilogue which is introducing the next book. Bit sad that there is just 1 more book to go in this series.. and a lot of things to wrap up in that book!

When this story behind Logan Bailey is very much living the bachelor life, but circumstances force him to grow up in a hurry. He and Cara have had a difficult relationship in the past, but we find out about Cara's insecurities as the book goes on as both characters start to bring out the best qualities in each other rather than the worst. The ongoing background story carried on nicely, though I can't believe there's an evil librarian!
