Read 2 times. Last read January 22, 2016 to January 24, 2016.
If you've read the others in the series, you know what you're getting with this one. And please, read the others first. You really need the character backgrounds and I think that's fitting with what Tippetts is doing with this series.
This is another in the Jason/Chloe relationship line, though it feels like it's thinner in ways the others weren't. You can see that with the really awkward-fitting title. There's really nothing wicked about Beth, and even if you try to use it in the modern usage as a stand-in for "awesome", it's still awkward. Plus, going back to the Chris well felt plodding as well. Chris is a huge loser and do we really need to retread that wheel?
But I've always been in this for Chloe and Jason and since Tippetts delivers exactly what I love about them, I was happy to be along for the ride. I really like seeing their developing marriage and the steps they take to keep growing together. I like that it's deliberate and that they have to work at it but that they both obviously find it fulfilling. In this book, you can really see how much their relationship has become their safe home base and I love seeing them find that well-earned respite with each other.
Anyway, four stars is a little generous, but I justify it as rounding up from a reasonable 3.5.

I want to read this, but I want just the Jason/Chloe parts. Are there enough to justify me buying the book for that, and skipping everything else??

It's all Jason and Chloe. It's all Chloe's PoV, no shifts. Beth is a strong side character, but not viewpoint. Which is part of what makes that such a weird title...
OH YAY. Okay. Strongly considering it, then. Second question: will I like this if I don't particularly care for Beth thus far as a side character? Or Chris?
Good question. I doubt it will change your opinion of either. Beth has a strong-ish presence, but she moves in and out of Chloe's orbit so it's not as huge as you'd think given the title. Frankly, Chloe's mother is a bigger presence and with a very interesting trajectory.
