Editorial Review:
Reegan lost herself. The moment she grasped sight of the mysteriously handsome gentleman with the striking, cold eyes. Everything told her to avoid Jackson to walk away, but she did not. She fell in love despite her resolve not to, ignoring his dishonest silence and the intimate night he spent with her childhood friend. Impetuously, Reegan relinquishes her home, career, and comfort to join Jackson in Atlanta, only to be greeted each morning with calls from the ex-fiancé who once occupied her space. As Reegan contends with the reality of her decision, she continues to harbor a secret from her best friend that ultimately challenges the stability of her friendship. Beautifully composed, Chasing Eden is an intricate novel of love and relationships and the wonderful ways they influence who we become.

Reviewer's opening remarks

"The thing's people do for love, whether it's about sacrificing and letting go or about accepting and embracing the past to move on, people ultimately will do anything to get a second chance at love. "

Chasing Eden, a novel written by Ashanti White, is a book that explores the intricacies of finding new love. Reegan Williams, a social worker with dreams of owning her own business, has the biggest crush on Jackson, a savvy playboy from Atlanta. She has moved on from a terrible break up with Eden, her ex-lover.

She finds herself on a journey to cure her infatuations that later turn into love, by moving to Atlanta to be with Jackson. She moves to Atlanta despite her best friend Teresa advising against it. In my opinion Reegan and Jackson are the definition of opposites that attract. When she arrives in Atlanta things are going well until Jackson's ex-lover Sicily, still finds time to call the house.

Sicily is seemingly driving a wedge of insecurity between Jackson and Reegan's newly found love. Amongst all the drama that unfolds with this love triangle Reegan still manages to achieve her goals by opening a community center for under privileged children.

From the beginning of this story I was immediately pulled into the life of Reegan Williams. The pages were written with so much description I couldn't help but turn the page to find out what was happening next. I think the author did a wonderful job with making the characters seem true to life. Chasing Eden, in my opinion, is really the author's interpretation of chasing the first real love that you once had, but let go, for whatever reason. A job well done!

Great Read!
2008-09-11 - This was truly a page turner! Not the typical book where you can tell exactly what is going to happen BEFORE it happens...I can't wait for the next one!

A Definite Page Turner!
