I was entirely swept away in this book. The story of Lexi and Ji-ho is quite sweet and adventurous and demonstrates how two individuals who belong to different worlds can be united in the most unconventional manners.
I loved the way Niki Scott managed to balance her emotions, wanderlust and development. Their growing relationship got depth with every place they stopped.
At the conclusion, I felt as though I had journeyed to the whole world and had learned about myself to some extent.

⚫️Chasing Horizons is a heartfelt and beautifully crafted novel that explores the magic of unexpected encounters, self-discovery, and love found in the most surprising situations. Niki Scott weaves a narrative that’s both adventurous and deeply emotional, taking us on a journey around the globe while highlighting the transformative power of stepping outside our comfort zones. From the very first page, Lexi Carter and Jung Ji-ho’s journey invites us to let go of the rules, embrace the unknown, and welcome change.
⚫️Lexi, who finds herself torn between her own brilliance and the weight of expectations, is a relatable heroine right from the start. Her decision to leave the predictable path of law behind and chase the vast, open possibilities of the world is both brave and liberating. Ji-ho, with his brooding charm and internal struggles, adds depth and intrigue to the story. Their chemistry is palpable, and even though they agree to keep things platonic, Scott masterfully builds tension, allowing their feelings to evolve naturally, tenderly, and sometimes painfully. The way their relationship develops feels authentic, layered, and incredibly human.
⚫️One of the most enchanting aspects of this book is its vivid sense of place. The settings aren’t just backdrops; they’re vibrant, living parts of the story. From the golden deserts of the Middle East to the lively beaches of Brazil, the bustling night markets, and tranquil mountaintops, the narrative captures the beauty of travel in all its richness. Each location reflects the characters’ inner journeys, reminding us that sometimes, the world needs to shake us up to help us see ourselves more clearly.
⚫️At its heart, Chasing Horizons isn’t just a love story it’s about freedom, transformation, and the courage to chase something beyond what’s expected. Scott delivers a tale that lingers long after the last page is turned, leaving readers nostalgic for adventures past while inspiring them to seek out new horizons.
Happy reading ❤️✨

What a breath of fresh air, a touching escape Chasing Horizons is! Niki Scott is a wonderful illustration of the sense of freedom and the rediscovery of oneself. The fact that Lexi is a cautious character, whose nature gradually dissolves as she travels with Ji-ho, was something I enjoyed. Their chemistry is also believable, sweet and repressed by unmentioned intensity. The travel environments were picturesque almost movie like. It is a tale that makes you remember that in some cases, it is only by losing yourself that you will be found.

I absolutely LOVED this beautifully written book! Could not put it down. Stunning prose. Brilliantly realised characters who burrow into your heart. Descriptions that wow. The writing is stunning. A travelogue and love story in one. Loved this book SO much and very highly recommend it to everyone. Cannot wait to read the next in the series and find out where Ji-Ho and Lexi go from here. Just wow! Do read this one!

Chasing Horizons is an emotional, changing experience of self exploration and romance. I am totally related to Lexi, who is between the expectations and the desire to live free. Ji-ho was a silent revolt that suited her development well. Their relationship was even stronger by the so called no romance rule.
Niki Scott is a warm and deep writer who creates a story that makes itself persistent upon reading the final page. Very touching and heartwarming.

I absolutely loved this book!
Chasing Horizons is a read that embodies going beyond what is comfortable and taking a leap into the unknown. The relations between Lexi and Ji-ho are natural and based on trust, curiosity and silent understanding.
It is descriptive and poetic, and portrays every place of destination as emotion. It is not just love but an excuse that we should remember that every now and then the best trips are the ones that transform us.

Reading "Chasing Horizons" was like an airing out after enduring too much time in mediocrity. The situation between Lexi and Ji-ho was a masterpiece of character dynamics, with all the tension of emotions and actual vulnerability.
The writing of Niki Scott is filled with frankness and vagrant spirit. I loved each and every minute of this soul filled adventure.
