Raised in a family of rodeo champions on a South Texas cattle ranch, Charlie wants only one thing: to avoid thrill-seeking cowboys.
Davis Murphy, cowboy wannabe and one of Dallas’s most eligible bachelors, needs a pretty and witty faux fiancée so his widowed mother will marry her longtime gentleman friend.
Charlie, his local librarian, seems the prefect choice.
Charlie’s first reaction is to run, but she’s promised herself to step out of her plain-jane routine.
When Charlie accepts, Davis’s plan is set. But now Charlie’s sweet ways are challenging his bachelor heart.

My Review:
Talk about a strange plot to a novel, but let me say ” It works”!! I thoroughly enjoyed reading about this swear-off all cowboy type librarian, who gets tangled up in a escapade with none other than a champion, a champion cowboy that is! And is it all just a ruse to help fulfill a plan for his mother to marry? Maybe- Maybe not? Will Charlie become entangled into true love in which she turned her back on?
There were times where a literally started giggling-which really caught me off guard. I am not a romance reader in general, so my expectations were far from the great story that I ended up reading. If you are looking for just pure enjoyment with a little twist of laughter and an interesting basis story line, the Chasing Charlie is for you.
On another note: Charlie has to be a strong-willed person to make that decision about cowboys, even as a young child I wanted a cowboy. As a teen I got to the “bad boy” phase, but if a true cowboy showed up he would win hands down. Who doesn’t want a cowboy in their life, I mean really who?

I was completely the same, absolutely loved the storyline and characters which really surprised me as I’m not strictly a romance reader myself.
