Chasing Freedom by @author.s.r.clark
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️¼ (4.25/5)
This is part one — and yes, it ends on a cliffhanger. While this isn’t a dark romance, it does explore heavier themes, so definitely check your trigger warnings before diving in.
The relationships between Abigail and her men are refreshingly low-angst, with most of the tension coming from outside threats. I love this dynamic — it often creates a stronger foundation than romances that rely on a third-act breakup. That’s especially true here, since the men already have years of history living and working together before Abigail enters their lives. They’re honest and direct with each other, shutting down any potential jealousy before it can take root. Everyone is on the same page, which makes this feel like the perfect foundation for a healthy relationship.
My heart went out to Abigail. She’s been treated like property for most of her life before landing on the ranch. Suddenly, she’s surrounded by men who want to protect her, support her, and give her the freedom she’s never had. I hate the reason she ends up there, but I love that she finally finds a place where she can belong.
This might be the first why choose where I liked each MMC equally. Beau is warm and funny — total golden retriever energy — but with a darker edge simmering beneath the surface. Lawson is the quiet, grounding protector who makes Abigail feel truly seen. Jasper could easily lean playboy, but his trauma and vulnerability give him real depth. And Lincoln… he gives off responsible, quietly intense leader vibes — until he turns into a dirty-talking dom in the bedroom. And I’m always a sucker for a dirty-talking MMC.
I am absolutely dying to know where part two takes these characters. I’ll be counting down until it releases.
