CHASING IVY, A second chance romance, small town two best friends that with out a doubt have fallen in love with each other. Ivy and Dawson are each other kryptonite the closer they get to each other the weaker they become. Honestly truly a beautiful book. Can’t wait for you all read it.

Whew! That...was a doozy.I've never wanted to finish a book fast enough while also wanting to continue reading? Because this book was full of so many cringy lines, I toughed it out and kept going forward. But let's be honest, I wanted to DNF this one at 20%.CHASING IVY has such a strong beginning. It was set in the past and almost had a YA feel to it and I was honestly living. Two high school best friends who are in a constant state of wanting to kiss, but never being brave enough to? That was t...

Really wish we could give half-stars, but we can't so know I'm giving a .05. I thought I'd found a decent writer after reading two of her books. Then I read a third and disliked it, but figured that just happens sometimes. But this one? It pretty much proved the writer isn't unique or in touch at all, which I mistakenly started to believe.The heroine, Ivy - TSTL doormat with BBS (betraying body syndrome) and constant clumsiness that was NOT cute. The hero, Dawson - entitled, up-his-arse wanker w...

I dove into this book last night and was pulled right in from the beginning. This is a sweet, emotional and steamy second chance/friends to lovers story with characters who you can't help but fall for. High School best friends Ivy Collins and Dawson Lanning have a unique friendship that no one truly understands except for them. Their connection and chemistry are obvious from the beginning, and the pull between them is magnetic. I fell for Dawson immediately. Not only is he a charmer and incredib...

4.5 ⭐️💫Steam :🔥🔥🔥 (slow burn) This is exactly the type of friends to lovers story I CRAVE!!! I’m a huge fan of two people meeting when they were in middle school and stayed friends for such a long time. Ivy & Dawson met in middle school and instantly there was a spark. That alone made me melt!! Then high school Dawson watched over ivy & just expresses how much he truly cares for her, then the night they start to realize they could be more than best friends, something horrific happens in Ivy’s li...

➳ Rate: 4,2 / 5 starsI was new to Sylvis but not anymore and I'm definitely following this series. I loved this friends to lovers/ second chance romance it had everything I love in a book, a friends to lovers romance with all the emotional turmoil I crave along with the angst and then there was the cuttes friendship and love, the sexiness that was Dawson and the little slice of drama that threaten to tear our couple apart again.I loved Ivy and Dawson's relationship and watching them realize they...

This is the first book by this author but it won't be the last! I really enjoyed this book and the journey of Ivy and Dawson had to take to get to their HEA. The author did a great job at having the perfect amount of angst in tension without being over the top. I loved seeing the foundation of Ivy and Dawson's relationship. They had such a great friendship and were always there for each other but when it didn't work it was realistic. when you take teens with little life experience and add in gri...

They were barely teenagers when they met on the first day of middle school. Dawson Lanning and Ivy Collins. They became friends, best of friends, over the years. Both were attracted to each other, but neither confirmed or acted upon their feelings. That one day when they finally got their first kiss from each other, was also the last day they'd be together. A family tragedy brought forth a deluge of tears, separation, miscommunication and misunderstanding, until they met again after six years. H...

This was the perfect second chance romance I needed to sweep me off my feet! I absolutely adored this book. I loved the light and bright feeling of the beginning of the book. You get to see and feel Ivy and Dawson’s respect, attraction, and love for each other. No spoilers here- but after a terrible incident occurs the mood of the book does change. However, it would in real life too, and that’s what I appreciated about Chasing Ivy. I felt that the characters were relatable and the story was hone...

I'm conflicted about Dawson and Ivy's story because there have been time I loved them soooooo much... then there are times when I wanted to kick both their butts... I wanted more for these two friends. I love best friends to lovers stories because its intriguing how they change the way they see each other. I actually read this and felt an emotional roller coaster because I would be angry then smile then laugh and back to being angry - an thus the cycle continues on... Have a read of this. Unfore...

1.5 starsBest Friends to Lovers- I like this aspect. I like that Dawson stood up for her in the lunch room, and I enjoyed the little scene about tippin' cows. But here is what I didnt like about this book:Dawson messed around WAY too much15 year olds talking about having sexAlso I am pretty sure Ivy said she was 24, but she moved when she was 15, and they reunited 6 years later...... That dont make no sense. Dawson still is a horn dog all these years later- (I cared so much about Ivy that I didn...

This was my third book by S.J. Sylvis, and it just happened to be my first ARC. I was not disappointed. I am loving watching this author grow.

SO MANY FEELS!!! "She was the only person I knew that could make me feel better, that could make me feel a little lighter."Ivy and Dawson become the best of friends in middle school. He's the popular, good looking guy that everyone wants to be around and Ivy is a little shy, quiet and reserved. They mean everything to each other, sharing all the things that mean the most......except their feelings for each other. The way they interact with each other.....the subtle glances, their inner monolgues...
