Review: Chase Me - Tessa Bailey

Review: Chase Me - Book #1 Broke and Beautiful Series - Tessa Bailey - March 2015, Re-released August 2023 I was so excited to receive this series from HarperCollins NZ, as Tessa Bailey is like the Queen of Romantic Comedies and #MeetCute moments for me. I always find her characters fun and likable and a bit quirky and Chase Me was no different. I also loved the new covers for this series as they match her quirkiness a bit more than the realistic covers which were more angst-ridden than I felt. In Chase Me, we meet our main female character Roxy who is dressed as a pink bunny as she is working as a singing telegram deliverer her first client of the day is a lawyer named Louis who has had a one-night stand to write a song about his penis.

She wanted more, but all these cattle calls were looking for someone skinny, blonde and perfect, not someone who is a big woman and loves to dye her hair funky colors and someone who stands out. That is until she sees a casting call for a new reality show similar to American Idol but this show is wanting those contestants who are considered "freaks of the world", those who stand out and don't fit into the cookie-cutter world. When Jordi tries out for the show, she gets in of course with her amazing and powerful voice. Everything is going well until they have to do...
