***MY HONEST REVIEW OF CHASING CHARLIE***
Charlie Nelson lost her parents when she was eight years
old. Being raised on the family ranch by her two older brothers, she left as
soon as she was old enough. She took a job as a research librarian which helped
her to stay withdrawn and out of the public eye, never taking chances or
experiencing life. Her one rule was to never have anything to do with a cowboy.
When her roommate gets engaged, Charlie decides it’s time to gradually step out
of her shell.
When Davis Murphy’s father died eight years ago, he became
owner of Murphy Title by default. As the business becomes successful, Davis
looks forward to pursuing his lifelong dream of becoming a cowboy like his
grandfather, and owning a ranch. When he discovers that his mother is holding
off getting married until she is sure he has settled down, he plots to fool her
by introducing a pretend fiancée for one night. After that, his mother would
accept her boyfriend’s marriage proposal and leave for Tokyo, and that would be
that.
Davis approaches Charlie for help and she reluctantly agrees.
But the plan backfires when Davis’ mother wants Charlie to be in her wedding.
It goes from one night, to spending the weekend together, and then another. The
more Charlie tries to get away, the more Davis wants her near. Will he finally win
her heart the way she has won his?
It was amusing when the deception kept escalating, and I
could really feel the connection between Charlie and Davis, even if they
couldn’t. I think I was as frustrated as Davis was each time Charlie turned
away from him. And even though Davis’ mother was unaware of the deception, I
got the feeling that deep down she knew. I really enjoyed Charlie’s brothers,
Monty Joe and Bobby Gray. The author did a fantastic job with them. I look
forward to the next chapter on this blended family.
