"Briar Thompson had it all. The right clothes, the right friends, the right car. Being popular was all that mattered. Her parents were rich and treated like royalty throughout the community. She thought her senior year of high school was going perfectly, until the night her drink was spiked at a party by one of her so called friends.
That was the night she met Chase McCree.
Chase wanted to go back to Montana. To the ranch and the wild, wide blue sky that went on forever. He wanted nothing to do with flashy cars or spoiled rich kids. But he found himself head over boots for the quirky cheerleader who turned her back on her social status. She befriended him when no one else would.
Shunned and hurt by the people who were once her friends, Briar flees with Chase to his family ranch in Montana. There she discovers another world, and apart of herself she never knew.
The cowboy wasn’t like anyone she’d ever met. The cheerleader wasn’t like anyone he’d ever met. Apart their lives didn’t seem to make sense, but together, they were chasing forever."
Searching through Amazon, I took a chance a bought this book. The premise right away capture me and it seems like a book that I would like. And yes. I was right. I enjoyed this book a lot.
Again, it was the plot that gets me. This plot is about a boy, a cowboy (wink, wink), who is not all who he seems. He meets this girl, Brair who is another cheerleader faking everything in her life. He makes her sees things different. And in turn, Briar takes a chance at a lifetime, leaving with him for the summer.
Okay lets stop right there. Now, I don’t know about you, but who in the right mind would do this? Go off with some guy you just met? It’s doesn’t work in the real world, but in this world, I’ll accept it. Moving on…
And so, during her summer Briar learns a lot about herself and her love for Chase grows. This part is my favorite. I love watching a friendship and love grow together. They get up early, spends hours working on the ranch, hand in hand, flirting in the hay, the dirt, then sun. Good, fun loving. I’m smiled a lot on this section. The plot moved on the people who Chase trusted on his ranch to betray him. Chase is about to inherit something big and others want in.
As you can guess, I did love the love interest. I like that the author spend time in getting the reader to invest in the characters. I like the hay rolling, sunflower frolicking stuff. Yes, it’s fluffy and all lovey-dovey, but I LOVED it. It’s nice for once not to have an author rush the love.
There is a nice twist in the end with a HEA ending. I squealed and read the ending twice cause I loved it so much. Again, fluffy and lovey-dovey but it’s so sweet you can’t help but go,”Awww.” *SWOON*
Chasing McCree is a love story at it’s finest. With an enduring love that I can read over and over, Chasing McCree has me swooning. If you are a romantic at heart and love the true love, happily ever ending, then read this book. It will give you the burning desire of love that you want. When it’s over, your left walking away happy that you had a chance to read a true love somewhere out there, it can be real.
I give it 5 BITES!
Happy Reading!
I’m willing to suspend disbelief with books like this, so I can definitely overlook the running off with an almost complete stranger scenario. I’m a sucker for fluff, so I think I would be all happy and squeeing at the end as well. Win:)
I loved that you just picked something and gave it a shot. You’re a trendsetter 🙂 I should do that more often.
Not my usual fare, but I love that you loved the love interest. Hm… could I say love one more time? LOL This might be something I will pick up when in the mood for a contemp.
