"She's my muse. She's my laughter. She's my trigger. She's my desire. But most of all, she's my heart." 🩷

While the slow burn in 'The Chase' wasn't my personal preference, Summer and Fitz's dynamic, even in its drawn-out development, was undeniably captivating. Summer's vibrant energy was a breath of fresh air, and her ability to challenge Fitz's reserved nature created a fascinating push-and-pull.  Even though I wished for a quicker escalation of their romantic connection, I appreciated the depth of their individual character arcs. 

The forced proximity wasn't just a plot device; it was a crucible where Summer's vibrant, effervescent personality chipped away at Fitz's guarded exterior. Summer, with her infectious zest for life, felt like a breath of fresh air, a perfect counterpoint to Fitz's more reserved nature. It was like watching a sunrise – a gradual, radiant warmth spreading and illuminating the shadows. This isn't just a story about attraction; it's about the joy of finding someone who truly complements your soul. The anticipation, the little moments of connection, and the gradual unraveling of their defenses made the eventual payoff all the more satisfying.

I'm eager to see where Summer and Fitz's journey takes them in the Briar U series.
