As a lover of romance, Caroline is passionate about touching other people’s hearts with messages that true love always prevails.

Chasing Love by author Carolina Johnson's a sweet inspirational Christian story. Naomi Bryant's a dedicated teacher to her students, a beautiful daughter and sister, a Christian woman, and very single. When one of Naomi's students suddenly loses ground in school; she decides to talk to his single-parent father. To say her greeting was less than warm would be an understatement. Blake appears uncaring, irresponsible, and unapproachable. However, first appearances can be deceiving. Come along with Blake and Naomi as they dance around life and love. Will misunderstandings keep them apart? My romance book reviews of Chasing Love follows.
CHARACTERS, PLOTTING, DEVELOPMENT:
Chasing Love by author Caroline Johnson is a sweet heartwarming inspirational story. Filled with Christian values, the reader is left with a "feel good feeling" as they finish the last page. Johnson created a story-line which is realistic and believable with characters the reader will love. Emphasizing the fact we should never jump to conclusions, Johnson demonstrates the heartache you receive from doing so.
With well-developed characters and a well-crafted plot, Johnson keeps the reader's attention as you root for Blake and Naomi. This short tale is faith-based, however, does not force the Christian religion on the reader. Instead, the characters values and personality emphasize their faith in God and his goodness for their life.
In concluding my romance book reviews of Chasing Love, I found a solid inspirational romance. The story is sweet and emotional without the use of sex or fluff. I would not hesitate to buy the book for my self or a friend.
CHASING LOVE RECOMMENDATION: STARS 4 Additionally, I found this book suitable for mature preteens as well as young adults and adults.
FINALLY PLEASE NOTE:
Also, I borrowed this book choosing to voluntarily review Chasing Love with honest romance book reviews, Chasing Love. Furthermore, reviews of any novel are dependent on the review author’s opinion. Consequently, all reviews online and on my blog, are my opinions. No one influenced my voluntary reviews of this story.
Blake and Naomi's story is all too short. Over before the book even reached 36% completed. Being book 3, I'm assuming 1 and 2 dealt with her sisters who occurred rather a lot. For a 'stand alone' book, I was hopelessly lost at times as the story dealt with past events. It then turned into bonus stories, not connected to the cowboys in the title at all.
Sweet quick romance. Good plot and well written story. Very realistic characters. A story that will let you take a moment away from reality. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
