Chase Me Home (Bridge to Abingdon Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 703 ratings

Elias: I broke Zane Chase's heart on the night of my high school graduation. I played straight for years, pushing love away at every turn. I created a picture perfect life. I built a billion dollar company, married a good girl, had a kid. I hid myself for decades, and I got exactly what I wanted. But it all came crashing down. My company fired me, the wife ditched my gay a$s and took our daughter with her. The only place to go is home.

My first night Abingdon, I run right into Zane. His crystal blue eyes and sculpted body wake something deep inside of me. I offer Zane a cool million to work with me, to build something new in Abingdon, something amazing. I don't know what the hell I'm doing. I've never been with a man before. I've never fallen in love. And I f*cking hate Virginia. I thought there were no happy endings for a man like me, but Zane is showing me that I might be wrong.

Just when everything seems perfect, my ex drops my daughter off with me and disappears from both of our lives. Now I'm not just an unemployed a$shole in a small town, I'm also a single dad to a traumatized kid whose mom has vanished. My little girl doesn't trust me, and I desperately need a crash course in parenting. I thought Zane was my second chance at life--but he's too good to drag into this mess I've created.

Zane: Elias Spaulding is a total d*ck. He's rude and presumptuous; seems he never learned any damn manners. He's got wild ideas, fast cars, and more money than God. He's everything a wild-child, punk artist like me should hate. But he's the most fascinating man I've ever known.

And deep down, he's the same boy who stole that first kiss from me in the darkness of my dorm room. Beneath his bad attitude is a man who wants a real life: a home, a family, someone to love. I was never the kind to settle down, not since I left for New York. But something's telling me that Elias might be worth the trouble. I'm falling in love with Elias, whether I like it or not. And I can see myself here, in Abingdon, building a life with him and his daughter.

A dangerous ghost from Elias' past appears, threatening to ruin everything we've built. Elias keeps trying to push me away in the midst of all the drama, but this time, I'm not leaving. Elias Spaulding was my first love, and now he's my home. I won't let him go without a fight.

Chase Me Home is the third novel in the Bridge to Abingdon series. Each book focuses on one amazing couple, and each can be read as a fabulous standalone read. Chase Me Home has steamy first-time love scenes, a lot of family drama, some adorable kittens, a British nanny, and a much needed update for Jackson Academy. Elias and Zane are the hope of Abingdon, and they're working hard to bring it into the twenty-first century. Enjoy!

Review

"West's characters are human and flawed (and insanely hot), and they always leave me smiling. This book brings together a confident, kind hearted artist with the boy who broke his heart back in high school. Elias, the heartbreaker in question, has been through a lot in the years since he rejected Zane Chase and chose to deny who he was. Years later, Elias comes home for his reunion with a failed marriage, a special needs daughter he barely knows, and boot marks on his a$$ from being booted from the company he founded. But Abingdon has changed, and so has Zane. Suddenly, Elias has got a second chance at the life he could have had, but his past just won't stop coming back to haunt him."
"What an amazing story. It's
more than just a second chance romance, as it involves real-life family issues. I was quickly invested in these characters. And, I was so happy how everything works out. I will definitely read this author again."
"I loved this book.
The men of Abingdon are awesome. This book though really touched me. Elias comes back to town for his school's multiyear reunion. He's a millionaire and also divorced with a kid. He has personality issues. He meets up with Zane, the one that got away or maybe the one he sent away. Their romance is special and flows so smoothly but things get in the way. Elias' life changes drastically and he'll have to deal. Will Zane be there for him?"

A beautiful second chance mm romance
Tatum West knows how to write them: a well rounded second chance romance interwoven with social disorder theme in kids, makes for beautiful entertainment. I enjoyed the way the MCs embraced their mutual attraction and dealt with the pitfalls they encountered, coming out on top. Great series! And the narration was grade AAA, delivered by Tantor Audio work. ❤️

    An absolutely beautiful story...

    Elias runs a millions of dollars company he built from the ground up. Sadly, because he's set in his way (and ASD), he gets ousted from his company fifteen years after it's been built.

    The main character's Elias, daughter is ADHD, OOD and most likely on some level, ASD.
    I didn't know this going in, but I always love books dealing with special needs. Elias finds he's a lot like his daughter. At the same time, his ex-wife throws their special needs daughter at him. A child he's only seen at holidays.

    My heart breaks that Zoe feels her dad is trying to give her away all through out the story. After all, her mother doesn't want her, the multiple schools can't handle her, so it's safe to think her dad doesn't either.
    Elias sees so much of himself in her. His saving grace was going to an all boys academy. Twenty years later, they still don't allow girls. A school like this could really help Zoe. Perhaps he could help make changes.

    He goes back for a reunion and finds a boy, Zane, he had a crush on in high school is there and is extremely successful artist. Not only that, Zane's brother Malcom has Aspergers. Zane truly gets his daughter Zoe and really is the only person Zoe trusts. Until one day she doesn't.

    There are a lot of twists in this story, most are around Zoe. Some are about a new business. Of course a book can't be complete with out a deadbeat father looking for a handout, threatening slander again his dead mother, the only person who cared about Elias.

    Of course there is a HEA, but getting there is a rough road. 💜

    Elias- who had a dysfunctional family life, is to be somewhere on the autistic spectrum himself, and had social and behavioral trouble in school- fell for younger Zane while at prep school years ago. But he couldn't bring himself to accept his sexuality during those informative years, and pushed Zane away breaking his heart.
    Years later, as a multi-millionaire tech whiz, with a divorce from his wife, and finally coming out as a gay man- Elias and Zane have a chance meeting at their multi-year high school reunion. At a financially low point in Elias' life- they tentatively reunite and explore a relationship. Suddenly being thrust into the fatherhood Elias had been rationalizing and avoiding - Zane steps in and helps him start to connect with his very troubled, insecure- and also on the autistic spectrum- daughter Zoe, when her mother just dumps her on him, and abandons them. What results is a very sweet and emotional love story, between Elias and Zane, and Elias and Zane with a very wary and needy Zoe. One of the cons I had was I didn't understand why Zane suddenly steps back from the relationship in the middle of the book.That definitely was perplexing and needed more explanation to be truly believable. We seem to be missing a few details between scenes. Despite this, this is a wonderful HEA love story that I think you will like.

    Another Con- To me the cover photo was neither of these characters as I pictured them. Elias was a rich, GQ blond, tech whiz, and Zane was a large, muscular, artist in paint splattered jeans and combat boots- both in their mid 30's. Sorry, this is one of my pet peeves- covers not matching their books.

    The path to happiness isn't always a smooth journey. Brilliant but socially clueless, Elias retreats to his roots, Abingdon, VA to birth a new tech startup. There he is reconnected with his first, and only, crush, Zane. Into this rekindling of affections between these men, Elias' daughter Zoe is unceremoniously dropped off by her mother, Elias' former wife. To say these three lives are thrown into a vortex of uncertainty and emotional turmoil...well that is an understatement to say the least!
    Finding your "forever" safe place is the running theme of this well written story. Breaking out of years of feeling unwanted, unloved and socially clueless is a daunting undertaking by both Elias and his daughter Zoe. The glue that holds them together, who has a first hand understanding of their unique emotional disconnect, is Zane.
    The bumpy road these three travelled to reach their "forever" place is a story well written by Tatum West.
    I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy a story with depth of character, heartfelt emotions and a happy place hard won.

    As a late diagnosed autistic female I feel Elias. I never had kids so never had a reason to check. But my dysregulating outbursts almost ruined my marriage. Ive read 300 books a year for years, most stories the same with small changes. It was refreshing to have not only generational trauma looked at, but Neurodivergence in not just a child being accepted but recognized for it's many forms in undiagnosed masking adults. My husband struggles like Zane did and I love how you captured the dynamic. I was severely pleased with this refreshing tale.

    Overall, I really enjoyed Elias and Zane's story. They felt natural and close as a couple. It was a bit instalove, but I didn't mind since they had a past. And the focus of the story is definitely on the father/daughter relationship more than the romantic relationship. But again, I didn't mind, and I thought the author did a good job of weaving all the relationships together. I have a few minor complaints, like how much of the book was telling and not showing, but my biggest complaint is that the blurb really didn't match the story. It claims that Elias is challenged by something from his past and starts pushing Zane away, but Zane fights hard for him. WIthout going into the details and writing out spoilers, just know that that isn't quite what happens. So that annoyed me, but didn't keep me from finishing the book. Would I read this book again? Probably not. But I definitely recommend reading this series. It hasn't blown me away, but it's been plenty entertaining.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant second-chances / family-drama romance!
    Reviewed in Australia on December 17, 2023
    Elias Spaulding has always been aggressively different to his peers. It has earned him a lot of money and a lot of enemies. His big regret is closing the closet door during high school and rebuffing fellow graduating student Zane Chase. Twenty years later, Elias is back in Abingdon for a high school reunion and has a second chance with Zane. Elias has been thrown out of the company he started and his ex-wife has left their troubled 9 yr-old daughter with him. Only Zane can help him cope.

    I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this series set in the small town of Abingdon VA and this second-chances / family drama romance is a great addition! There’s a really good exploration of managing a child on the spectrum and it’s clear Elias has some of the same behaviours - luckily Zane has a brother on the spectrum and his experience is invaluable. This a redemption journey for Elias who becomes a better father and partner with time, it was great to watch him grow! 🎙️ I’m still unconvinced that Tor Thom (as Zane) and Alexander Cendese (as Elias) are a good audio pairing, I just find Tor too ponderously unemotional. In this case, I think it would have been more effective if they’d swapped characters (the whole series is currently free on the Audible Plus catalogue).

    I loved the entire book. Haven't read the first two, I was a little concerned in not understanding the twist of this plot but none of that. Elias was a good character and I enjoyed very much Zane as well. The entire book left me at the end with something pleasurerable so, this is the best way to comment a reading. 4 stars because there were some editing issues and some slip of the plot in some point but nothing major. Might be reading the first two, if I find them on amazon.

    Such an incredible book, I loved Zoe! I loved how this book talked about kids with special needs. It made it more realistic to me. I find books usually have these perfect families, perfect love stories, and you don’t get the realism. This book is real. Zane and Elias really struggle with a lot in this book and it makes it so much better in the end when they get the happy ending

    This book is amazing. The portrayal of people with autism, especially high functioning is wonderful.
    The relationship between Elias wand Zoe is so beautifully portrayed and how it develops through the book is heartwarming.
    The book broaches real issues for parents and children who don’t fit the narrow confines of many schools in a sensitive way.
    Zane shows Elias that he can be a great dad to Zoe, while allowing him to grow himself.
    A wonderfully written book well done.

    When you finally learn to accept Yourself and return to make amends, it may be too late. Elias has a lot to make up for and the one person he turns to is the one he has to most to beg forgiveness from.

    Loved this story!!!
