I read Sustained because reading the synopsis had me intrigued. It was a story I don’t think I’d read before. And I love books that are different. Earlier this year, I read Overruled, book one of the series and while I loved the book and I loved Stanton and Sofia’s story, I really wanted to get to know Jake. And in Sustained, I did.
Jake has a bit of Drew Evans in him. If Emma Chase’s books came together, I could see Jake and Drew being friends. A bit of a bromance would be going on. The sexy swagger. The playboyness. The never wanting to settle down, until that one women. And for Jake, that one women was Chelsea. Chelsea and her six nieces and nephews who she is the guardian over.
I’m not sure who Jake fell for first. The kids or Chelsea. And I love that. I love seeing a guy who doesn’t want a relationship or kids, just fall in love and from day one. He took one look at those kids and couldn’t stay away. Even though they came as a package and even though there were slight nudges with certain circumstances, Jake falling in love were very separate.

I admire Chelsea so much. Because of tragic circumstances, she uprooted her life and took over raising 6 children. While a lot of people would do it, a lot wouldn’t and Chelsea didn’t think twice.
Emma Chase is known for cocky male and sassy female characters but she went above and beyond with Jake and Chelsea. They story, the circumstances and their love were very unique. She made me connect to them so easily. This series, to me, is even better than her Tangled series, and I wasn’t sure that was possible. I can’t wait to read Appealed in a few months to not only read Stanton and Sofia’s and Jake and Chelsea’s stories continue but to read Brent’s.
