<— I recently read this “New Adult” book and enjoyed it (especially the second half – check out my review). It’s not tooooo crazy, but still has that fun and sexy college feel and what an ALPHA male!! *swoooon!!!!* Plus a crazy twist to boot! And guess what!? Book #1.5 is Declan’s POV. The author recommends reading them in order and states: “This is NOT a rehash of Chasing Serenity.” And guess what else!??? Book #4 just went live today, too! P.S. These are all interconnected but can be read as standalones
April: Maryse I just finished Seeking Serenity and loved it!! Eden Butler does a great job pulling you in!
Kristi: 55 % into Chasing Serenity right now and LOVING it!! Maryse, I think you will really love this one! Love the writing and I can’t stay away from this story!
Ashley: I totally agree with Kristi I’m about 10% and loving the writing!
Katie: …there is a twist in this book that I didn’t see coming and I love it!
Melinda: Oh maryse, i am loving this book. your right a bit slow at the beginning but man does it make up for it by 35%. im fully into it. autumn is a strong personality and declan.oh my god deep breath! he’s just gorgeous. I love the first date and her growth throughout the book. this is so well written u can picture the scenery and feelings especially the steamy scenes. the twist at the end is unexpected and just adds dimension 2 the book 4.5 stars for me.
Lori: My must read series so far this year. I want to put Declan in my pocket.
About book #1:
Graduate student Autumn McShane has had her share of heartbreak. She’s been abandoned and betrayed and she lost her beloved mother in a tragic car accident five months ago. That loss damaged her body and fractured her spirit but she’s learning to recover, until her ex-boyfriend returns to town, intent on making her life miserable.
Declan Fraser hates her ex as much as Autumn does, but the last thing she needs is to put her trust in the hands of another man, especially one like Declan: his hard body and lulling Irish accent makes more than a few girls weak-kneed. The talented rugby player is rude and sarcastic, with tattooed, muscular arms and a cocky attitude, but he’s the only one who can help Autumn win an ill-advised bet that, if lost, could cost her more than she’s willing to pay. The reluctant alliance between Declan and Autumn stirs up cravings she doesn’t want to admit, but Declan is a hard man to resist.
Just when Autumn starts letting down her carefully constructed walls to the sexy bad boy, he betrays her when she needs him most. Autumn suspects Declan has secrets, and she is determined to uncover what drove him away from her, even if that means fraternizing with the enemy. But will the truth return Declan to her arms or add to the scars on her heart?

I just read Chasing Serenity and Behind the Pitch recently. Great stuff! I played rugby in college, and it feels like this author created Declan straight out of my fantasies. Definitely felt a lot of emotions with Chasing Serenity. Looking forward to reading Book #2!
