Book #3 in this great series!
And it was just as cute as the other 2!
We meet all the others again - Joe, Vaughn, Pat, Nell ... and even Mal ☺...
And we're back in the bar, of course.
Eric is part owner. And he loves his bar and his job as sexy barkeeper.☺
But he doesn't love his life anymore. Not the way he's been living it for so long now. He wants something new, different. But a mother? He wanted change, but not that fast and that much. But he just can't stay away from Jean. So adorable!!!
The poor guy. He wants to prove to all his friends and family that he can be a real adult and that he can be trusted. But mostly he has to prove it to himself.
I really enjoyed reading this book!
It was such an adorable romance. Funny, cute, a bit moving and heartbreaking. I just loved those cute Eric & baby moments!
I wouldn't mind seeing the bar and everybody on TV one day!
Great Characters. Not much drama. Lots of funny moments and some sexy moments. Great, sweet Romance.
I really loved it! Eric is amazing. He's trying so hard - but nobody believes in him. But of course we know that he'll prove them all wrong in the end! ☺
CHASER was such an adorable & sweet & moving romance! About a guy who is finally ready to grow up and CHASE his happily ever after. Run to your nearest amazon for your very own Eric - this one is MINE!!! Even though I could do without the ponytail!☺
A tiny little thing that bothered me a bit. Why did Jean move to Idaho? Yes, she knows Nell from talking online. BUT?! She doesn't have a job, a career? What did she go to college for? Does she have any plans for her future? Nothing was mentioned about that at all. A bit weird.
Also, Nell ... I hated her a lot with the way she acted towards our poor Eric. She got better, but only in the very end of the book. She was really mean!
But still ... adorable book. READ IT!

Yes! It is time for all things Eric. You may remember him as Joe's brother - you know, the one Joe pretended to be on his dating profile?
Well, now it is his story, and to me, Chaser is the best story in the series so far.
My heart hurts for Eric as everyone around him treats him like a no hoper, a man whore, leaving him feel useless. No one even pays attention that he isn't the way he was, that he has been changing.
Gah, I wanted to slap the lot of them with my Kindle - especially Nell who I have always kinda adored. But this book she is just a nasty b!tch to Eric for 95% of the book and I really disliked her.
I adore Jean the minute she walks into the bar. Yes she has her secrets, and her baby, and that's all she needs in her life. But Eric works his way into her life and her heart, she knows the man he is.
Oh my goodness, the cuteness overload with Eric and baby!
I really enjoyed Chaser. I loved getting back to the Dive Bar, to the guys and gals that run the place.
Ooooh and there may have been a visit from my favourite blonde drummer and his band!
I loved Eric chasing his HEA and proving to himself and everyone around him the man he really is.
Sweet, sexy, tender and loving with a few tears thrown in the mix, Chaser was one that I just couldn't stop reading.
Can't wait to see what Ms Scott brings us next.

I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about Eric’s book because of how he acts and what happens in the first two, but I loved this book.He captures your heart with how he tries to change and do the right thing. And how he takes care of Jean and Ada is so sweet! Kylie Scott does an amazing job showing how ones person can learn from what happen before and finally find something that makes him feel wanted.
Eric is known as a playboy and after all that happened between him and Nell he still hasn’t changed. But when a newcomer comes to town, she captures his attention, until he finds out she is pregnant.
Jean is trying to start over after being forced to leave home when her parents don’t want to accept her pregnancy. And the friendship she has started with Nell definitely helps starting over. But what she isn’t expecting is Eric. He is nothing like she expects and ends up being exactly what she needs.
As they navigate their relationship and deal with Nell and the rest of the gang, they might find exactly what they are looking for. Eric is finally changing his ways and Jean is starting to see she can make it on her own. But will it be enough? Or will their insecurities and the chance to go back home come between them?
Kylie Scott. What could little ole me say about this wonderful writer that hasn’t been said time and time again? She is a brilliant writer with outstanding stories and strong characters that will stay with you forever. She proves this again with Chaser.
When we met Eric in Twist and he wasn’t exactly the Hero. A self-absorbed man ho always looking for a good time. He worries more about appearances than he does about substance. With the changes that are happening to his friends and brother, he takes a hard look at his life.
Then Jean walks into his bar. Pregnant Jean. She’s smart, sweet, sassy and new to town. Needing to get away from the situation she found herself in, she accepts Nell’s offer to come to Coeur d’Alene.
Despite Nell’s threats of bodily harm, Eric finds himself drawn to Jean. A true friendship develops between Eric and Jean. He’s there for her when baby Ada is born, he’s there for her when the New Mommy trials and tribulations threaten and he’s there for her when she decides that she wants more than a friendship with Eric.
Told from Eric’s POV, Kylie let us in on his inner dialogue and let us in on the highs and lows that he experienced during this transformation from bad boy to a good man.
A great read that I will recommend again and again.
Chaser by Kylie Scott
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
Oh Eric your man whoring ways are coming to an end my friend!!
Eric..we all remember Eric right??? He is part owner of the Dive Bar and certainly has no issue with the ladies. He doesn’t mind all the attention he gets from his friends, or does he?? Maybe man whoring is not all he is good for?? Maybe, just maybe he wants *Gasp* More??? Eric IS a good guy but he just cant seem to keep it in his pants so to say. What eligible, good looking guy would??? But then SHE arrives into town and everything changes.
Jean leaves Florida because she need a new life plan. Jean goes to the Bar to meet her new friend Nell who is also going to help her start her life over. When Eric sees Jean he is all “Hey How You Dion’?” until the baby bump pops out from under the table…yikes.
Since the two are going to be neighbors they quickly find a friendship of sorts but when the baby comes he see a new side to both of them and their new found feelings.
Eric…what can I say? I love a naughty guy who gets into trouble but I also loved seeing the character growth from the books until his book.
3.5 Stars
Eric Collins, one of the owners of The Dive bar, has always been known to his family and friends as the "manwhore." The guy who will hit on any woman that walks into the bar. They don't take him seriously and determined that he will stay a bachelor forever. But that's until the beautiful Jean walks into the bar.
Jean is starting over to make a new life for herself and her soon to be baby, Ada. And meeting the flirty Eric Collins was not in her plans to get her life together. But much to her surprise (and the surprise by his friends and family), Eric has stepped up for Jean and Ada. The attraction between Jean and Erik is hot and the bond Eric formed with baby Ada is nothing but sweet.
And when they decide to have a friends with benefits relationship, feelings start to get complicated. But can a playboy change his way?
It was always going to be uphill battle for Eric Collins to be taken seriously. He’s a manwhore extraordinaire, and the very idea of monogamy is one he himself would have laughed at not a few months ago. However, with everyone around him settling down he’s weighed up the benefits and feels he has what it takes to be a one woman man.
As part owner of Dive Bar there’s no shortage of potential women to date, but longevity is the name of the game. He bides his time until his roving eye lands on newbie to the bar, Jean Antal. Eric is taken with Jean right away, and he’s not put off by the fact that the attraction seems to be one sided. He’s serious about finding a meaningful connection but the breaks are well and truly pumped once he discovers his new potential match is also a soon to be mother.
Her time chatting with Eric was a momentary welcomed relief from the stressors in her life. Her family situation as well as impending single motherhood do not leave any time for frivolities. She knows she should avoid the playboy but he happens to there to lend a hand whenever she finds herself in need. As time goes by it becomes harder to co-sign the nature of their relationship as purely friendship. Eric evolves into a character that I would go to bat for without a doubt. He’s caring and dependable and he proves himself to be unadulterated boyfriend material.
Owing to my love of Eric, my only gripe would be the lack of confidence his friends had in his transformation. Other than that, I adored every last drop of this story. It was emotional and sweet and far more intimate than expected.
5 Fab Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Kylie Scott is hands-down one of my absolute favorite romance authors.... she writes the most fabulous characters.... all with such amazing senses of humor and self awareness.... especially when it comes to her male characters... I think I’ve fallen in love with all of them and Eric is no exception.... this book was told entirely from the male point of view and I loved it.... I think the only thing I missed out on a little was getting to know Jean a bit better....
Eric is the player... he’s never been in a committed relationship.... and he is definitely not getting involved with seven months pregnant Jean, babies kind of scare him.... Eric’s inner dialogue throughout this entire book was quite hilarious.... I found his character development so wonderful and reel..... The friendship that develops between him and Jean was refreshing and his moments with baby Ada were quite adorable..... I love a good friends to lovers story and this one was perfection!
You can read this book as a standalone, although characters from the previous books are definitely involved... and bonus the StageDive boys make an appearance...and Mal was up to his same old shenanigans, loved that!
Strongly recommend to fans of romance, with fabulous characters, and a little fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
*** thank you to Kylie Scott, the publisher, and Net Galley for a copy of this book ***
The Delight
It's always a delight to head back to Dive Bar where friends tell you the brutal truth, people work hard and the local bar is the place to go. Kylie hits it out of the park once again with a story of an unlikely hero and a woman making her way on her own in the most unlikely ways.
Review
In Chaser, we head back to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho where a local bar seems to be the gathering place for a group of friends, the owners, and the love affairs they are having. If you have read the Stage Dive series, then you will see them again in this story. Oh, MAL! Let's not forget to mention that this story is told in first person, entirely from the perspective of Eric, or as Nell calls him, fuckboy.
So a little background may be needed here. Nell and Eric own Dive Bar. She is the cook and he is the bartender. Nell was recently divorced from her husband, and Nell and Eric make a mistake and sleep together. This resulted in a pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage and Nell going back to her ex-husband and remarrying him. Awkward? Yes and no.
Now Nell is pregnant again with Pat's baby and Eric is kind of lost and dumb. He sleeps with women, uses them, but also pleasures them and moves on. Nell loves him as a friend, but also thinks he is a fuck up and constantly rides his ass during the story. In book one, they also took on another partner, Lydia.
In walks Jean to the bar and Eric misses a fact on the first meeting as she is sitting...she's pregnant. Having a one-nightstand, she gets pregnant and can't find the father. Her parents want her to give the baby up for adoption and she has had enough. She packs up her things and moves to Coeur d’Alene after meeting Nell on a message board.
While Eric is trying to reform himself, Jean is going through pregnancy. They become stand-offish friends in a way as they live in the same building. When Jean goes into labor, Eric is the only one there for her, but he also flakes out because this is a lot of responsibility.
This is a sweet romance in one way as Eric falls for Jean's daughter while also falling for Jean. Nell is riding his ass all the time, but through it all he is really trying to change himself. Everyone doubts him, which makes him more determined than ever to be a better person.
We get to know Jean and not get to know her as the story is all from Eric's perspective. I often wondered what Jean did for a living. I may have found out, but if so, I don't recall. She's very organized and really gets Eric. When she has time to get out of the funk that being a single parent to an infant can get you in, she realizes her attraction to Eric is bigger than just being horny.
I was expecting to come in and really dislike Eric. He did some things that ticked me off, but he was also one messed up dude in the head. By taking a vow of celibacy, he also became more in tune to his own wants and needs.
While I said this was sweet, I don't mean it wasn't sexy. These two combust when they finally get together. They may not be a conventional couple, but they know how to get it on!
The romance felt real, and heartwarming, while the secondary characters kept everyone on their toes. I can't wait for the next book and I just finished this one. Can I say I am addicted to this series!
3.5 Stars
Eric Collins may be a co-owner of Dive Bar, but he is by far the least relied on member of the staff. Determined to change how he is viewed by everyone, he decides it's time to start taking his responsibilities seriously, and he gives himself a break from his many no-strings-attached relationships.
When Jean Antal moves to town, she is someone Eric could be seriously interested in... if not for her very pregnant status. But, unable to stay away for any real amount of time, he finds himself not only a part of Jean's life, but her newborn daughters as well...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eric is viewed as a man who doesn't take much seriously and he spends his time sleeping with women and then moving on quickly. Now that we are privy to his story and his own inner-most thoughts, we get to see how sweet, funny and completely irresistible he is.
When Jean shows up at the Dive Bar, she is pregnant and has just uprooted her life to start fresh. Everyone rallies around her and they pitch in to do whatever they can to help her with her move and to welcome her as a part of their group of friends. And while Eric initially avoids her and the entanglement she represents, it isn't long before his efforts to stay away fail him.
I felt like Eric was dumped on a lot from the people who were supposed to be his friends, and while he didn't let it get to him, I loved that Jean stood up for him despite him not believing he actually deserved it.
Their relationship is an unconventional one, with one very adorable newborn who raises all the stakes, but Eric and Jean do their relationship their way... no matter what the world around them thinks...
Chaser is a sweet, slow burn romance standalone and book number three in the Dive Bar series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.
This book has been gifted by the author but it had no influence on my willing and always honest review.
4 stars
This book was quick, easy and fun to read.
This review contains spoilers if you haven’t read the other books of the series. It’s best to be read in order even if you could read it as a standalone without being too lost.
Characters:
Eric. Bartender and part owner of The Dive bar and restaurant. Womanizer. Easy on the eyes and smooth talker he has a way with women. He also has never committed to someone and had accidentally made his friend Nell pregnant while she was on a break with Pat.
She lost the baby in an accident and is back with Pat pregnant again.
To say she holds a grudge against Eric would be the understatement of the year!
She is on his back all the time berating him and telling Eric basically that he is useless and shying from his responsibilities.
Jean. She just arrived heavily pregnant from a one-night stand. Her parents have rejected her as she refused to have an abortion or give the baby away for adoption.
Jean is young and a little bit lost.
Relationship
From the first time Eric laid his eyes on Jean she’s occupied his thoughts.
Yes Eric is offended by Nell’s comments about his inability to commit and be serious at work and outside of work. He is determined to prove them all wrong and is dead set on having a girlfriend. Or go on an abstinence journey.
Soon enough Eric will hang out with Jean in a totally sexless relationship. She’ll be his first real female friend.
I’m not telling more about the plot.
It’s not a complicated story but I loved the family feel. We have a tight knit bunch of friends bickering and having each other’s back. Jean will find the support of great people with Eric’s friends and family.
I also loved Kylie’s kind of humor as Eric’s inner dialogs were downright funny! Or the banter between the different characters. It volleyed back and forth between these friends and family and gave a warm cozy yet humorous feeling.
“That’s right,” I said. “To even suggest that we would pout is an affront to our masculinity.” “Yeah.” I nodded. “What he said.” “Everyone knows brooding is very manly. Lots of testosterone involved.” “Especially when I do it,” I added. “The word you were looking for was probably ‘smoldering.’”
It was really pleasing to witness Eric’s character development. He may have been thirty he was still immature chasing his pleasure consequences be damned.
Eric at the beginning of the story:
“Your attention span makes a gnat look gargantuan.”
But Jean’s appearance and Nell’s comments changed it all!
It was fun, light, sweet with no dead moments.
There is a reason why I love Kylie Scott’s books. You never know what you’re going to get when you read her books. If you’ve read the Dive Bar series before, you know the type of guy Eric is- A prime example of self-absorbed, fun loving, no commitment, seriously good looking (Not fair!) guy. I was a little apprehensive about reading Eric’s story, I mean, he’s fun for a secondary character but the lead? nah… well, A thousand apologies Kylie. You’ve made me shut my opinionated mouth hahaha. Remember that saying? Don’t judge a book by it’s cover? Ladies, I’d like you to meet Eric Collins.
I have a very strong feeling you are going to love this man just as much as I did.
I absolutely enjoyed reading Chaser..I loved the pace of the book! It felt very realistic. I felt really bad for Eric because I really didn’t like the way everyone jumped into conclusion and judged him for his past reputation without giving him a second chance. I especially despised Nell in this book (I know! Totally unexpected).
I will say this, This book isn’t bombarded with angst and passion that’s unrealistic… it’s a slow pace- get to know me-Friends first, maybe? kind of book. There were some hilarious moment in this book like the first time Eric held the baby (I admit I cackled like a crazy person because that scene was so funny!).
I loved reading Eric and Jean’s story unfurl right in front of my eyes- it was sweet, calming, supportive, witty and let’s be honest, HOT!
I am going to put this out there and say it- I think Eric has become my favourite from this series. Why you ask? Because I loved his non-flashy way of loving and support Jean and her baby. Don’t get me wrong, he was romantic AF but in the most unconventional way and I love him more for that.
I highly recommend Chaser to you, I know you will enjoy reading it.
With every Kylie Scott book I read I love her writing and strong characters more and more. I started off with the Stage Dive series and while I really liked it I didn’t seem to fall in love with those characters as much as everyone else did. The Dive Bar series was where I truly fell for her style of writing and could appreciate how much thought and passion she put into every word she wrote.
The Dive bar series started off strong with Vaughan and Lydia and I thought they were the pinnacle and never to be bettered. And then I read Twist and fell for Joe and Alex. We met Eric in Twist and I’m sorry to say that I didn’t have high hopes for him or his story. I’ve read so many romances where the Womanising Douchebag is turned into a good boy and the thrill of the read has become redundant for me. I avoid these books like the plague because I’ve read far too many of them. This is entirely my fault for always falling for the bad boy…
After months away from arrogant players I went into Chaser with high hopes. And my goodness were those hopes exceeded! I really enjoyed Chaser being solely from Eric's POV. It was a really nice change and I think Kylie wrote Eric's POV perfectly!
Eric was a breath of fresh air to me, he felt different. He wasn't your typical womaniser who disrespected woman, he was mature about his actions and there was no angst ridden reason as to why he was who he was. He also didn’t appear to be your typical arrogant player. There was no ‘treat em mean, keep em keen’. There was just Eric being straight up about what he wanted from life. After the devastating circumstances he went through at the end of Twist I decided I needed to know how Eric’s story ended.
If I had to name my favourite thing about Kylie Scott’s writing it would be the strong independent REAL female characters she writes. Ever since Lydia in Dirty I’ve respected the hell out of Kylie for her strong characters. While they know how to ask for help when they need it, They’re no damsel in distress!
Jean has been my favourite of the series. Not only is she a strong independent woman but she's also a woman full of trust and forgiveness and is willing to always see the best in everyone around her. Due to the situation she's in and her history she could've been a very jaded character but I think Kylie Scott did us all a favour when she made Jean the type of woman she did.
I really enjoyed Chaser, so much more than I thought I would! Kylie Scott's writing just goes from strength to strength and I will forever respect her for the characters she writes. Yes, they make mistakes, No, they're not model skinny but they're so damn real! Kylie Scott's writing is alway a joy and I always come away from her books feeling confident about myself and the decisions I've made in life and to me that is one of the greatest things about reading. A good book distracts you from every day life but a great book teaches you and inspires you to make a better life for yourself.
I commend Kylie for writing real woman.
Eric thought he was happy with his life until his friends started pointing out how childish he was. He wanted to prove them wrong. He was looking to start a relationship the only problem with that was everyone knew he was good for a good time but that's it.
When he sees Jean he can't help but start hitting on her, he actually starts to like her attitude and sass. THEN he sees that she's pregnant.
Eric had a lot of growing up to do, his friends were right and he realized it. When he decided to be friends with Jean and be there for her he actually took it serious. I loved watching the transformation of Eric. Loved hearing it from his POV.
Then little Ada made an appearance and oh my goodness I fell in love even harder with Eric!
I was laughing throughout the book, smiling and shaking my head. I felt like I was right there with them watching this relationship blossom and grow.
Kylie Scott is still very new to me. This marks only my third title from her but I have loved every word I've read. There was just something about Chaser that had me smiling on every page.
I'll admit Eric wasn't my favorite person going into this book. I found him irresponsible and childish but at least he owned it. But oh how he redeemed himself. And all it took was one happy baby and her beautiful mother, Jean. I liked the mystery surrounding Jean. Strolling into town and most of the gang already knew her and her situation. Eric was drawn to her beauty but the baby thing scared him. However, there was something about Jean that he just couldn't seem to get out of his head.
I loved watching the dynamic of their relationship change. Especially after baby Ada arrived on the scene (and what an entrance she made!). From strangers to acquaintances to friends to more. The progression of Jean and Eric's relationship was gradual and I savored every moment of their slow burn. Especially when Jean concocted her "idea" that changed things between her and Eric even more.
Every page of Chaser was a new something new to savor for both of them. I will say that Nell about got on my last nerve but not nearly as much as Jean's parents. Ugh- they were the worst! Thankfully Eric was there to keep the peace and Jean helped ground him. These two shouldn't have made sense. Shouldn't have worked but Kylie Scott worked her magic and somehow it just did.
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-35077" src="http://www.inkslingerpr.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Chaser_Whim_v8-1024x768.png" alt="" width="830" height="623" /></h2>

When single Jean moves to town, she seems heaven sent by the sex gods. Only problem is, she not only wants nothing to do with him, but it turns out that she’s pregnant.
Starting over in a small town, Jean is determined to turn her wild lifestyle around and be the kind of mother she always wished she’d had. Since local bar owner and all round hottie, Eric Collins, is now determined to steer clear of her pregnant self, it should be easy. When she goes into labour during a snow storm and her car slides on some ice, it’s Eric who comes to the rescue.
There seems to be a bond between them now, but is it enough? And can Eric give up his manwhore ways to be the man Jean needs?

Oh my, I think Eric might be my favorite. It's safe to say I loved this book and I completely devoured it.
It was so sweet to see Eric change in front of my eyes. I hated the fact that everyone was so hard on him but they did have sort of a point and he realized it too. I loved that he wanted to change and become a better man, and I loved watching him try to do it in a blink of an eye, But change like that needs a bit more time than that, specially to make it real for people around you. And finding someone - the right someone- to let you be their boyfriend takes a little bit of time too, even though she was right in front of his eyes and he knew it from the first moment he saw her.
I thought it was sweet that Eric did the right thing with Jean. He didn't want to make her life more complicated or risk breaking her heart so he did an even more amazing thing; he became her friend and he helped he with whatever she needed, specially looking after her little bundle of joy.
I loved watching him become that type of man and just seeing how amazing he was with them. It was so easy to fall for Eric - Jean and I are proof of that.
Pick this one up, you won't regret it. It's a sweet sweet one that will warm your heart, put a smile on your face and provide you an excellent couple of hours. Trust me.
I loved Kylie Scott's Stage Dive series. Even though I didn't love book one in this series, I still wanted to give this one a try. It didn't win me over. I didn't know that this book was told only in Eric's POV. I would have loved to see how Jean was feeling. Especially when it came towards her feeling towards Eric.
To be honest, I found this book to be quite boring. I liked the relationship between Eric and Jean. However, I never felt anything but friendship vibes from them. There wasn't any sparks or funny banter that I look forward to in my books. Also, I hated the way those around Eric wouldn't give him a break and take him trying to change honestly, especially Nell!
All in all, it was an okay read for me. Nothing that I will reach for again.
Poor Eric, he's such a manwhore and wants to change his ways. Jean catches his eye until she stands up and reveals a surprise. We watched him become an instant birth partner with hilarious results. I loved his interactions with this little girl, we watched him grow up and take responsibility. Will his friendship with Jean become more? I enjoyed watching this story unfold, it started slow then took off and I couldn't put it down. Well done Ms Scott, another entertaining read.

Chaser was an ok red for me. Call me old fashioned, but I am not a big fan of the lead characters being pregnant, especially with another man's baby. t takes away from the love story for me. For that reason alone, I could not get into this book.
I received a copy of this book via NetGalley for an honest review.
Yes, it is finally Eric’s story. Eric is Joe’s brother and if you read Dirty or Twist you are sure to remember him. I am so ready to see him redeemed not sure if that is possible but if it can be done Kylie will do it. I wasn’t sure about Eric when I read Dirty and Twist I mean yes he is easy going, an all about me kind of guy and a manwhore. However, I stilled wanted to see if he would be the same kind of guy when he was finally face to face with his one. I could not wait for him to meet his match and settle down. Then again maybe he would always be this way but man I hoped I was right on this.
Eric is getting it from all angles. His care free attitude toward woman is causing his friends who are beginning to settle down to come down on him hard. He decides he is going to give the stick with one girl thing a try. He happens to choose a new face that walked into the bar only thing is he didn’t realize he was getting a little more than he bargained for when he set his eyes on Jean.
Jean came to Coeur D’Alene so she could make a new start for herself and her baby. She meets Eric at the bar where he attempts to hit on her. This only causes a bit of friction because Jean just happens to be Nell’s online friend. I loved Jean she was so sweet. The instant chemistry between Jena and Eric was amazing. Even with that instant chemistry Eric decides to back off and go the friend route when he finds out she is pregnant.
I fell harder for Eric when he was reading the baby books to be able to help Jean when she needed him. I absolutely loved seeing this side of Eric. Seeing Eric and Jean baby bonding was so heartwarming. Being able to see the Stage Dive guys at the party was great, oh Mal you never let me down for a good laugh.
