Plain Daisy Ranch #4
Chasing Forever
It was a fun Vegas getaway—until I woke up married to my ex-fiancé’s brother.
After Watson brother #1 ditched me at the altar, I stopped believing in happily-ever-afters. So I have no clue how I ended up saying “I do” to Brooks—Watson brother #2—somewhere between tequila shots and bad decisions.
Okay, that may not be true.
Sheriff Watson has been a charming thorn in my side ever since his brother left our small ranch town in his rearview mirror. He’s a little too steady, a little too sweet, and way too intuitive because he sees through my facade. But no matter how tempting he is, he’s still a Watson.
I demand an annulment. He refuses, bargaining four real dates before he signs.
Fine. I’ll sabotage each one and keep my heart safely locked away. It’s easier this way because he has no idea the secret I’m keeping.
Of course, Brooks doesn’t go down easy—he has enough faith for both of us. He tackles my fears at every turn, making me wonder what would happen if I went all in.
But trusting the wrong man once nearly ruined me—doing it again might finish the job.

I fear the cover is better than the book but I had fun
August 21, 2025
“From tequila shots to tangled hearts- forever sparks beneath prairie skies.”
Vegas, Vows, and a Whole Lot of “Wait… What?! That’s exactly the chaos Piper Rayne throws us into with Chasing Forever. Okay, so picture this: you wake up hungover in Vegas, your head pounding, your memory hazy… and oh, by the way—you’re married to your ex’s brother. Yeah- you heard that right!!!somewhere between tequila shots, blurred memories, and a level of panic most people reserve for accidentally liking an ex’s 2014 Insta post. Panic? Check. Screaming internally? Double check. That’s exactly where Lottie Owens finds herself, and honestly? I felt her panic in my soul. Cue Brooks Watson, swoony, steady, and ridiculously determined to win her heart, negotiating four dates before even thinking about an annulment. Classic slow-burn chaos, small-town meddling, and a dash of romance that makes you grin...I’ve been deep in small-town romances lately—arc by arc, book by book, living for the chaos and charm hehe—and let me tell you, Chasing Forever absolutely delivered… mostly.
📍Tropes and vibes:
✔️Childhood crush turned slow burn
✔️Ex Fiance's Brother
✔️Small town /Ranch Romance 🐎
✔️He falls first/it's always been you..
✔️ Broody sheriff vibes..
✔️ Accidental marriage but make it spicy 🔥
✔️ Slow-burn romance + steamy payoff —
✔️Enemies-to-lovers-ish tension (hello, flirting that won’t quit!)
✔️Big, chaotic, lovable Found family chaos...
-ֶָ֢ Accidental Vegas Marriage: Lottie wakes up hungover… married to her ex’s brother. Cue panic, chaos, and “how did this even happen?!” vibes. Brooks isn’t letting go—he wants her heart before the annulment. Slow-burn heaven.
-ֶָ֢Character Powerhouses:
👢Lottie Owens: Guarded, strong, and relatable… but sometimes her panic felt a little too frantic, bordering on melodrama. Still, I lowkey loved cheering for her anyway.
🏇Brooks Watson: Swoony, steady, and apparently perfect? The man is too good at this love thing, which made me go feral... He buys coffee everyday just to see her!!
➠ Chemistry: Sparks exist, the slow burn is there, and yes, the steamy bits are… steamy. Lottie is fierce, guarded, and totally relatable. Brooks is steady, swoony, and knows exactly what he wants. Watching them navigate their messy feelings was everything.Romance & Tension- Sparks everywhere. Emotional moments. Heated slow burn. Laughs. Sweet gestures. Steamy scenes. All the feels rolled into one addictive story.Puppy-dog devotion meets stubborn heroine energy. Classic slow burn...
“I’ve been chasing forever with you for a long time. I would’ve waited as long as it took. It was always been you, Lottie.”
“You are my wife. I know it’s only on paper right now, but I’m trying to be your husband off paper, Lottie.”
ֶָ֢
"maybe, just maybe, this was the best mistake we ever made.”
🌾-Family & Community Chaos: Plain Daisy Ranch is full of nosy, loving relatives who bring laughter, tension, and warmth. The family moments gave the story heart and a playful energy I adored.
“Show me, Sheriff. Hands-on demonstration only. I don’t hand out participation trophies.”
-Setting Perks/Small-Town Charm: Small-town Nebraska gave it charm and made the story feel grounded and cozy—bonus points for vibe!
The road to their happily ever after wasn’t easy, but it was so worth it. Their chemistry, banter, and tender moments made every challenge feel meaningful. And the little teasers for the rest of the Owen siblings? I’m so ready.
----------☕🍂🧺------
🚩What Didn’t Work:
-Pacing: Some parts dragged, The story sometimes felt slow despite the big Vegas setup.
-Series References: I haven’t read the previous books, so a few references felt slightly confusing.
-Predictability: A few story beats felt obvious, and Brooks sometimes felt “too perfect.” for her..
📌Bottom Line:
Cute, light, and easy to read with a slow-burn romance and family chaos—but the pacing and small series references kept it from being a full 5-star hit for me. Good for fans of small-town romance and accidental/fake-marriage tropes...
-Extras: ARC = perfection. Duel POV was flawless... Thank you piper rayne for the ARC!

What to Expect:
➼ Accidental Marriage (Vegas)
➼ He Falls First
➼ Ex-Fiancés Brother
➼ Ranch Romance
➼ Small Town
➼ Family Drama
➼ Pining
➼ It’s Always Been Her
➼ Duet Narration
➼ Dual First Person POV
This was absolutely adorable! I’m already a sucker for the accidental marriage trope, but their history made this one extra sweet. Brooks was clearly a near perfect man and THE perfect man for her, but since she had been previously engaged to his brother, it made sense for her to fight her growing feelings for him. There was also the extra layer of his family’s disapproval and mistreatment of her to make her feel even more adamant about staying away.
Brooks on the other hand had always loved her and had been pining over her since even before her and his brother got together. He was nothing at all like his cruel family and was someone who would always put her first. It took him a while to convince her of those things, but their journey to building trust and love was so worth the wait. ❤️
I LOVE IT when an author thinks through all the details like this and makes the inclusion of tropes actually make sense. I was really rooting for these two MC’s to find their happily ever after together and I know you’ll be doing the same! This was better than most of the ranch romances I’ve read and deserves a lot more hype! And don’t even get me started on the beautiful cover art. 😍 I haven’t read books 1-3 yet, but I think they need to make it onto my TBR! They are bound to be just as good!
Thank you to the author and Hambright PR for the ARC & ALC in exchange for an honest review.

🫧 Vibes: a warm hug in book form
🎶 Song: if you're not the one - daniel bedingfield
📖 Favourite Quote: "You are my wife. I know it's only on paper right now, but I'm trying to be your husband off paper, Lottie."
📚 Would I recommend? YES!!
💬 Final thoughts: my heart is mushy and gushy.
In the package:
📦 a man OBSESSED
📦 accidental vegas wedding
📦 brother's ex fiancé
📦 it's always been her
Plot: Brooks has been pinning for Lottie for YEARS and one morning in Vegas, they wake up in bed together only to find out they got drunkenly married.
Brooks sees this as the perfect opportunity to finally win Lottie over and show her the kind of man she deserves. They agree to 4 dates together and then she can get the annulment (if she still wants it) 🤭
Thoughts: Brooks the man that you are. He's been in love with Lottie for so long and she never noticed 😭 that's an obsessed man if I've ever seen one. Poor guy had to step aside and see Lottie get engaged to his brother (who's a total d*ck btw ✋). Now that's what I call patience.
I ate this up in 24 hours 🙂↕️ Brooks had me grinning like a little school girl the entire time, he was so sweet and understanding. He was such a determined man and he was willing to do anything to make Lottie believe in love again. Was it cheesy? yes. Did I love it? YOU BET.
While this is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone. It's my first book by this author and I had no issues following the storyline but I will definitely be checking out the others. Because if there's one thing about me, I love a good interconnected series 🤭

Back to Plain Daisy Ranch we go! With a pit-stop in Las Vegas and a quickie wedding chapel. We went there for one couple's marriage and we left with 2.
Brooks & Lottie have been friends forever. Some of that got tarnished years ago, when Lottie was engaged to Brooks' brother and then left at the altar. She doesn't want any more drama and she REALLY can't handle the pity in everyone's eyes.
For her, waking up married and in bed with Brooks is just an inconvenience to be fixed as soon as humanly possible. She doesn't expect the resistance from him NOT the absolute glee from so many of her friends and family members.
For Brooks, this is a happy miracle that he plans to hold onto with both hands. His family may have ruined his chance with Lottie for years, but fate brought her to the chapel with him that night. He is gonna pull out the cowboy sheriff charm and shamelessly use his dog, and all other assets to keep her.
I just loved his sincerity, his protectiveness, and his dedication to Lottie. I loved how feisty and guarded she was, and watching her slowly lay it down for him... it was beautiful.
This was a slow burn and the heat simmered low and hot. It didn't hit too soon and it kept me hanging on. This was truly a great romance and probably my favorite in the series.
Narrated in the Duet style by Stephen Dexter & Vanessa Edwin. They did a superb job and I devoured this in one sitting.
5 Stars
2.5 on the spice scale
CW: Abusive parent, gas-lighting, miscarriage (past remembrance), infertility

an accidental vegas wedding?? sign me up!!! there’s nothing I enjoy more than a fake dating/forced marriage situation 🫣
luke was so down bad for lottie (just how I like my men 😏) and seeing how determined he was to convince her that they’re meant to be had me constantly gushing over him. he was so sweet and patient with her 🥹 how can you not fall in love??
was the story cheesy at times? yes, but you best believe I ate👏🏼 it 👏🏼up 👏🏼 sometimes a cheesy small town romance is exactly what I need and this delivered.
what drew me in initially was the cover but I stayed for the story! it was so so heartwarming and just the cutest small town romance. the dual narration was amazing and perfectly captured how the characters sounded in my mind!

How freaking adorable was this?
5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Chasing Forever was such a cute romance that had me laughing out loud and kicking my feet completely giddy. This was such a cute story, and I couldn't put it down. The author's writing was so fun and made you connect and love the characters.
This follows our main characters, Lottie and Brooks, after they wake up one morning naked in a suite with no memory of how they got there or the night before. Not only that but they have wedding bands on their fingers. If this situation isn't awkward enough well it only gets better. Brooks is not only the town sheriff but the brother of her ex-fiancé. Lottie is freaking out and quickly trying to get it annulled before everyone finds out. Brooks has a secret though; he's been in love with Lottie for years and sees this as his perfect opportunity to make her fall in love with him. After making a deal to take Lottie on seven dates before she gets annulled can he charm his way into Lottie's heart or is she too closed off because of the hurt his brother caused?
What to Expect
❤️Small town romance
❤️Ranch romance
❤️Vegas Wedding
❤️He Falls First
❤️Accidental marriage
I absolutely recommend this book and can't wait to read the next one!

I absolutely DEVOURED this.
Brooks couldn’t be more perfect if he tried. What’s better than an MMC and the “it’s always been her” trope? I’m swooning so hard.
I was a little hesitant to start this as I haven’t yet read the other books in the series, but it absolutely works as a standalone. It was easy to keep up with the characters. Their banter was so good. I’ll definitely be grabbing the earlier books, I need more of this small town romance!
A giant thank you to Hambright PR for the ARC and ALC. Immersive reading this was so much fun, and the narration was wonderful.

4.5 stars
“Chasing Forever” wasn’t orchestrated as the standard marriage of convenience trope; it curved into its own narrative, and I was pleasantly surprised by how engrossed I became in Brooks and Lottie’s love story.
Brooks has always been in love with Lottie in every phase of her life, even when she was knee-deep in a wedding dress, waiting to marry his older brother. so when they woke up in Vegas together, in a hotel room imprinted with proof they had eloped, Brooks thought his one and only wish had finally been granted. Lottie, on the other hand, not so much.. because she was once again the center of attention in their small town, under the claws of Brooks’ and his brother’s mother… aka her worst nightmare.
I honestly loved the way Brooks was miserable and yearning for Lottie. He was depicted in such a light that I couldn’t help but root for him. I understood Lottie’s reserve and doubts all along, but at times I wished she had given in to him in their dates. this book was a pleasant surprise, and I honestly would recommend it to any marriage-of-convenience lover who’s a little tired of the redundancy often found in that trope.
many thanks to the author valentinepr for the free copy

“Chasing Forever” wasn’t orchestrated as the standard marriage of convenience trope; it curved into its own narrative, and I was pleasantly surprised by how engrossed I became in Brooks and Lottie’s love story.
Brooks has always been in love with Lottie in every phase of her life, even when she was knee-deep in a wedding dress, waiting to marry his older brother. so when they woke up in Vegas together, in a hotel room imprinted with proof they had eloped, Brooks thought his one and only wish had finally been granted. Lottie, on the other hand, not so much.. because she was once again the center of attention in their small town, under the claws of Brooks’ and his brother’s mother… aka her worst nightmare.
I honestly loved the way Brooks was miserable and yearning for Lottie. He was depicted in such a light that I couldn’t help but root for him. I understood Lottie’s reserve and doubts all along, but at times I wished she had given in to him in their dates. this book was a pleasant surprise, and I honestly would recommend it to any marriage-of-convenience lover who’s a little tired of the redundancy often found in that trope.

3.5 stars-I love a good drunken Vegas wedding story! Brooks is the book boyfriend we all dream of and his love for Lottie is just the sweetest! I enjoyed this story even though I have not read the others in the series.
December 24, 2025
Ahhh! This is possibly my favorite from this series? The drama was absolutely 10/10. I listened to the whole audiobook in one day. I love the family conflict and second chance story. This is a very complicated start to a relationship and Piper Rayne wrote it well. There were tropes that just aren’t for me. But I don’t want to spoil the story.

Chasing Forever by Piper Rayne
4,25/5⭐
2,5/5🌶️
This was my first book by this author, and I enjoyed it! Brooks and Lottie are a cute couple, full of sweetness and passion. Their chemistry is amazing, and I really enjoyed their playful banter and those heartwarming moments. It’s been a long time since Brooks fell for Lottie, but he never had the chance to tell her. After his brother broke Lottie’s heart, it put a strain on their friendship, too. But then, in a hilarious twist, they end up accidentally married in Vegas! Brooks sees this as his perfect opportunity to win Lottie’s heart for good.
Brooks is the sheriff of their small town, and everyone adores him—he’s the golden boy! He’s kind, thoughtful, caring, and has that classic golden retriever energy that makes him so lovable. When he finds himself accidentally married to the woman he’s been dreaming about for ages, he’s determined to show her just how special their connection can be. I couldn’t get enough of his dedication and his relentless efforts to win over Lottie, even when she tried to push him away or sabotage their dates. His love for her only grew stronger!
Lottie, on the other hand, is dealing with her own struggles. After getting her heart shattered by Brooks' brother, she’s convinced that love isn't meant for her. She avoids relationships and keeps her guard up high. With all the attention in their little town, she feels insecure about opening up. But as she spends more time with Brooks, we see her gradually let her walls down. It’s so heartwarming to watch her start to trust him and let him into her heart.
This book was such a delightful read! I felt Brooks' yearning for Lottie so deeply that I couldn’t help but root for him from the very beginning. And Lottie—oh, I just wanted her to find happiness with someone who treats her right! It was clear she felt lonely, and I loved how she could lean on Brooks for support. The way Brooks cherishes and loves Lottie is beautiful. If you love small-town romances with green flag MMC, black cat FMC, meddling family, and a whole lot of heart, then I recommend this book.

EEEKKKK this was exactly what I needed!!!😍👏🏼
Lottie wakes up one day in quite the predicament. She accidentally married her EX FIANCÉ’s brother on a steamy trip to Vegas.🔥 She wants an annulment. He wants her to be his wife forever.🤭 She agrees to give him 4 dates to change her mind.😏
When I tell you this man was YEARNING & PINING for her, for literal YEARS.😩 Their relationship was so sweet & wholesome. I loved seeing them go on these cute little dates with each other & realizing they were always meant to be.🥹
I loved the little “plot twists” we got in this. I was definitely surprised a few times with what was going on but in a very good way!
I found the writing style to have a nice flow to it, it made the book feel very bingeable bc it’s so easy to read!
Lottie & Brooks are the cutest & I definitely need to go back & read the other books in this series soon!!!

Chasing Forever is a small town, woke up married in Vegas, ex-fiancé’s brother, he falls first and has been pining for yearsssss romance. This is super low angst and just an easy quick romance.
They wake up married in Vegas and she’s not into it, but he really is. It’s mentioned how her ex-fiancé is the hero’s brother, which really wasn’t a big deal because it was from over a decade ago and no one is stuck on it. In fact, her family is totally fine with them getting together and hope their marriage stays. He’s also wanting to take time to convince her to keep their marriage instead of a quickie divorce or annulment that she wants. This type of set up isn’t new, it’s been done before, so I needed to care about the characters more than I did to be truly invested.
The hero and heroine have actually grown up together in their small town and he’s been into her since grade school. Everything just felt surface level, he’s friends with her brother, he’s the sheriff in their small town, his family doesn’t like her, she tries sabotaging their first date (bringing her niece along to the fair), he keeps her favorite wine at his house. But then she quickly starts to fall for him too and the relationship and romance of it all was just really easy (minus his family being rude). I don’t know, I needed more cause their feelings and romance didn’t feel any deeper than any of that so I wasn’t sold. It was fine overall if you want something easy and low angst and on the shorter side! The audiobook is on hoopla so at least I just grabbed it from my library, it’s a duet narration by Vanessa Edwin and Stephen Dexter which are great narrators! And the cover is super stunning.

Brooks is the biggest green flag and most perfect book boyfriend. His love for Lottie was the sweetest.
When they went to Vegas for a family wedding, Lottie and Brooks didn’t expect to wake up to find out another wedding happened that same night. Their wedding. Lottie wants an annulment from her ex-fiancés brother right away, but Brooks is wanting to give their new found relationship a go before calling it quits. He manages to get Lottie to agree to four dates before he gives her what she wants. Brooks now has four dates to try and win over the girl he has been secretly pining for since childhood.
I love everything about Brooks. He’s sincerity, his protectiveness and the way he showed her that he would do anything for her.
Lottie is feisty and guarded. She has a wall up after being hurt by Brooks’ brother and is afraid of getting hurt again. I loved seeing her slowly bring down those walls and finally let Brooks in.
This was a slow burn, but a good amount. I was hooked from the beginning and really enjoyed seeing their relationship develop.
There were also some great plot twists which I didn’t see coming and kept me engaged and wanting more.
I have loved this series so far and I cannot wait to read more from Piper Rayne. An auto-buy author for me! 🩷

5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you to the author for my physical and audiobook copies!
Another amazing book by Piper Rayne & I'm so happy they picked back up the Plain Daisy Ranch series, as its one of my favs!
This book starts with one of my most fav tropes, accidental marriage, and then continues with characters who obviously have feelings for each other but need to get over what other people think about them being together.
The tension between these two is OFF THE CHARTS. There were so many moments that had me kicking my legs and squealing.
Also nothing beats a small town romance where the whole town has your back (IYKYK).
You get:
• Contemporary Romance
• Spicy
• Small Town
• Accidental Marriage
• Secret Crushes
• Family Drama
• Forced Proximity
I loved this book so so so much! Available on, KU, ebook, paperback, and audiobook.

-ranch romance
-Vegas wedding
-ex-fiancé’s brother
-small town romance
-he falls first
-it’s always been her
-yearning
This was cutest, small town romance read of the month. 🥹
I saw this cover and the tropes for this arc signup and immediately jumped on it, not knowing it was part of a series, but it’s written so well that I could jump in and piece together the history while also leaving me curious enough to want to read the other books.
Lottie and Brooks are the perfect “will they, won’t they” vibe, especially after years of growing up together when they wake up married in Vegas.
“𝙒𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙮𝙚 𝙧𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙨, 𝙇𝙤𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙚. 𝙄’𝙫𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙬𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙠𝙞𝙨𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤 𝙞𝙩.”
Brooks is the ultimate book boyfriend, that man yearns. And he’s determined to prove to Lottie that he’s in it for the long haul. That it’s always been her. The way he helps her overcome her obstacles though, is super sweet.
“𝙄’𝙫𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙢 𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄’𝙢 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙖 𝙡𝙤𝙮𝙖𝙡 𝙙𝙤𝙜 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙢𝙮 𝙩𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙪𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙪𝙩, 𝙗𝙚𝙜𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣.”
And Lottie, she feels kindred in the lies we tell ourselves, the way we hold ourselves back and let others determine who we are. So watching her work through that and find her footing again was everything.
“𝙄’𝙫𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚. 𝙄 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙’𝙫𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙨 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙩𝙤𝙤𝙠. 𝙄𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪, 𝙇𝙤𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙚.”
I’m very intrigued in these other characters and will definitely be checking them out. Highly recommend if you love cute, small town romances.

Chasing Forever is the 4th book in the Plain Daisy Ranch and my first one. I really loved the characters and small town, so i definitely want to read the other books. Piper Rayne is one of my favorite writing duos, and this cover is gorgeous....obsessed!!!
Lottie has had a broken heart for a while and had shut herself off from relationships after her fiancé left her before the wedding. Brooks is the town sheriff and has pining after her forever. They wake up in Vegas married, and now Brooks is determined to make her stay married. He propositions her to go on a few dates before he will agree to an annulment. Lottie plans to try and make each one a disaster, but this man is impossible to resist.
Brooks was such a swoony hero, and I loved how sweet he was with her. I loved how he stood up to his family and always communicated with her.
Read this if you love the following:
💍 Vegas Wedding
💍 Ex-Fiancé Brother
💍 Small Town
💍 Sheriff/Blue Collar Hero
💍 Pining Hero

🎤Duet narration: Stephen Dexter & Vanessa Edwin
I flew through this audiobook in one day. I love duet narration, and the narrators did a great job with the banter and spice. Stephen Dexter's will always be one of my top male narrators. He has the sexiest voice, and he is perfect as Brooks.
Thank you to Piper Rayne and Valentine PR for providing the ARC and ALC.

✨ARC Review✨
Chasing Forever
By: Piper Rayne
“I don’t know how the hell I got Lottie Owens to marry me. But the bigger question—the one that’s going to haunt me until I fix this—is how the hell I’m going to convince her that it wasn’t just the alcohol that led us here. That maybe, just maybe, this was the best mistake we ever made.”
“Just think about it, Lottie. The brother of the man who shattered your heart and your belief in love could be the one who pieces it back together. It’s so perfect, it could be a book.”
“I’ve been chasing forever with you for a long time. I would’ve waited as long as it took. It was always you, Lottie.”
I am so smitten with Brooks and Lottie!! I just love them so much! Another great addition to the Plain Daisy Ranch Series and in my opinion the best yet!
I love this big family and getting to see them together again was so heart warming. And Brooks?! He shot to the top of the books boyfriend list! I think any word he said I highlighted.
I was so blessed to receive not only an ARC but also a ALC by Piper Rayne and hearing this book come to life was amazing! Thank you so much for this treat and chance to read and hear Brooks and Lottie’s’ story!

Helloooo sheriff 🔥 Brooks was down bad for Lottie, I'm talking pining after her for YEARSSS. So when they wake up together with rings on their fingers after a drunken night in Vegas, you bet Brooks isn't willing to go through with an annulment 🤭 He instead tells Lottie he'll give her the annulment if she goes on 4 dates with him. & as y'all can guess, she never gets that annulment 🤪
This was a super cute read & as soon as I'm caught up on my other ARCs I will be devouring the first 3 books in this series!!
What to expect:
🌼 Ranch romance
☕️ Ex-fiancé's brother
🌼 Married in Vegas
☕️ He fell first
🌼 He's also the Sheriff 😏

Oh, how I loved this 😍
I was hesitant to ask for this arc because I haven’t read any more of the series. After a little research, I saw that these can be read as standalone books and I had NO problems following along. I absolutely adored the connection between Brooks and Lottie! Poor Brooks has been pining after Lottie for YEARS, and after a drunken night in Vegas, they end up married. A dream come true for Brooks, but he has to show his devotion and prove his secret love in order to keep the marriage from being annulled.
Sounds cheesy, but it was in the best way possible! I can’t wait to read the rest of the series now.
A special thank you to the author and Hambright PR for gifting me an eARC and ALC of this one 😍

I absolutely adored the connection between Brooks and Lottie! Poor Brooks has been pining after Lottie for YEARS, and after a drunken night in Vegas, they end up married. A dream come true for Brooks, but he has to show his devotion and prove his secret love in order to keep the marriage from being annulled.
Sounds cheesy, but it was in the best way possible! I can’t wait to read the rest of the series now.

Brooks & Lottie OWNED me. This was the book I’d been waiting for and they delivered like Amazon Prime with a personal note and a bow. Brooks, my man — obsessed. Lottie, adorable. Them together? Delicious. Also the cover? Stop. Perfect.
Five stars, dust and daisies and all.

ALC Review
Chasing Forever by Piper Rayne
Read if you love:
Ex-Fiancé Brother
Sheriff/Blue Collar Hero
Man Obsessed
Small Town
Vegas Wedding
After a drunken night out in Vegas, Lottie wakes up married to her ex-fiancés brother, Brooks Watson. As if that isn’t bad enough, Brooks loves nothing more than pissing her off. When he refuses an immediate annulment and propositions her to date him first, Brooks and Lottie are forced to face that it may have been the best mistake they’ve ever made.
“I want to be your husband off paper.”
My thoughts:
I was so excited to receive an ALC of Chasing Forever and Piper Rayne delivered one of the sweetest damn romances I’ve read in a while.
Brooks, you sir, are perfect and oh so dreamy. This man knows how to communicate, and I absolutely loved it! He was not letting her go easily and the back-and-forth banter hooked me from the start.
"I love her, I always have."
This book started out of fun and playful and the relationship that formed was so genuine and seamless. I couldn’t get enough of these two together. The spice was everything!
I loved Lottie and Sadie’s friendship, bestie was giving great advice! The found family in this book and this series is top tier!
Stephen Dexter’s voice fit Brooks so perfectly! I could listen to him talk all damn day. Venessa Edwin was the perfect Lottie and these two narrators made it impossible to press pause. Their performance was flawless and this audiobook was fantastic.
Thank you Piper Rayne, Valentine PR, and Hambright PR for allowing me to listen to this title in advance.
