Review • Chasing Nikki by Lacey Weatherford

Synopsis

A broken heart.
A troubled past.
An unexpected romance that changes everything.
Will love and trust be enough to overcome the ultimate test?

Chase Walker used to be a good kid--charming, athletic, and with a bright future ahead, but that was before travesty struck his life, sinking him into deep despair. Caught up in a world of drugs and alcohol, he doesn't notice time slipping away until he's arrested for underage drinking one night.

Fed up with watching her son destroy his life, Chase's mom relocates him to live in a small ranching community with his ex-military grandfather. Chase is far from happy about the situation until he meets, Nikki, the cute cheerleader who won't give football players like him the time of day.

Chase enjoys a good challenge though and sets out to claim Nikki for his own. He soon discovers she's more than a pretty face--she's a balm to his troubled spirit also. But when tragedy strikes Nikki's life too, suddenly Chase finds himself put to the ultimate test. Can he trust Nikki, and all that she's taught him? Will it be enough?

Review

I decided to re-read Chasing Nikki because not only did I read it when I started to initially fall in love with books, it was before I realised the importance of reviews.


So, I thought I would re-read it now and actually write said review... although it's not a recent re-read. I don't know what happened to the review I wrote fresh... but it's no longer here.


I fell in love with this series way back when and even after re-reading it years later I still love Chase & Nikki's story.


After going off the rails after his fathers death, Chase and his mom move (back) to live with her parents. His mom hoping that the change of scenery, and her stricter dad would help change the path Chase is running down with drugs and drinking.


New town, new school, new people. Nikki being one of those new people... and she thinks Chase is an ass. However the universe crosses their paths outside of school when Chase volunteers at a drug abusers meeting... I think. The same meeting Nikki also helps with.


Their love story starts to blossom and it's genuinely cute and I adore how Chase treats and respects Nikki... regardless of his past and how he was. But their story is shortly bought to a heart-breaking end... which I won't write about.


I'm looking forward to rereading Finding Chase... knowing that I didn't write a review on that either.

About the Author

Lacey Weatherford was born in Ft. Meade Maryland while her father was serving in the military. She has been a life long resident of Arizona, spending most of her time growing up in the small rural town of Clay Springs.

It was while she was attending the small country school in Clay Springs, that she read her first "big" book at the age of eight. It was a Nancy Drew novel and Lacey was instantly hooked. She read every book that she could find in the series and decided that she wanted to write stories too.

Lacey spent a lot of time at the library from that time forward, even volunteering in her later teen years and early twenties. She would don a crazy clown outfit for the Friends of the Library fundraisers in an effort to help get the new town library built.

When she and her husband moved away from the area, Lacey took the opportunity to take some creative writing classes at the local college to help further along her interests. Several years later, they were blessed with the opportunity to move back to Clay Springs with their family. The town had finally succeeded in building their library and Lacey had the opportunity to be President of the Friends of the Library for a very short time, before relocating.

Lacey and her family still live in the White Mountains of Arizona, where she continues to write young adult novels that have a fantasy/fairytale or paranormal bent to them, as well as being sure to include a great romantic storyline!
