Chasing Forever

by B.J. Bentley

Welcome to the small town of Medicine Wheel, Montana.

Fiona Fletcher loved two things: horses and Carter Mason.
But being in love with her friend and co-worker wasn’t easy when he insisted on keeping her at arm’s length.

Carter Mason wore his guilt like a millstone around his neck.
But being around the beautiful Fiona seemed to ease his burden, even when he was determined to carry it all on his own.

A road trip to procure a new mare for the ranch sets them on a course that opens a door, and Fiona and Carter find themselves in a situation that leaves no room for secrets and nowhere to hide.

Now, nothing lies between them, and the only thing ahead of them is the open road on their way to chasing forever.

But the path isn’t as clear as it seems when Fiona’s family rolls into town...

Somehow, this author manages to maintain very distinct and separate writing styles across her works. The Medicine Wheel series has an easy flow, a small town feel complete with some angst, and while her style changes to fit the work (Man Down was a perfect add to K Bromberg’s world and MTBMW was magic of its own), seeing her ability to jump back into the vibe of her first novels is impressive. But what really impressed me was Fiona and her epic takedown of those who made her miserable.


I’ve loved Fiona since first meeting her, and Carter was perfect for her. They both have secrets that they need to trust each other with, and Carter needed to learn that he isn’t an island before he lost Fiona for good. So with the help of Mother Nature, Kevin (trust me, he’s awesome), and a few others along the way, he and Fiona manage to find their way to happy. Not only do we revisit some old friends, we make new ones in this book, and I’m reminded why I love reading these books. The camaraderie, the humor, the deliberate family by choice, and the author’s refusal to fall into some tired traps (you’ll know what I mean when Kevin lets Carter and Fiona progress) all made for a fabulous read. I can’t wait to revisit this town again. Already. Because it’s just that much fun to be in Medicine Wheel.

And, yeah. Declan? He’s mine. Consider this my “dibs” moment. That is all.

Once again we are back in Medicine Wheel, Montana and it's a great place to be! Small town romance is always a favorite of mine so I was so happy to be back. Both Fiona and Carter have been pining for the other for awhile, but they both have been denying their attraction to each other. Fiona’s reason had more to do with being co-workers and worrying about ruining relationships, but Carter’s reason to stay away was definitely much more deeper and stronger. With a little bit of meddling from Tally, denying their feelings becomes much more difficult. Being on the road alone for hours on end causes some cracks to show but with Mother Nature, Phyllis Dudley and some feline friends, the walls come crumbling down. Unfortunately Carter’s old guilt and Fiona’s own past create a few bumps in their newly changed relationship. But I am happy to say love prevails.

Overall, Chasing Forever was a wonderful read. I loved watching Fiona and Carter let go of their past, falling in love and supporting each other. It was also so fun catching up with the characters from the previous books, they all become this great big family. Another great addition to the Medicine Wheel series.

Carter and Fiona’s story is a good one! They’ve been friends and co workers for a few years, but there is also an undeniable attraction. When a work trip forces their proximity, the sparks begin to fly! They both have back stories and that adds to the complications, but they get their HEA! An enjoyable read!

I’ve been anxiously awaiting Carter & Fiona’s story, and it was well worth the wait! It was great being back with the gang in Medicine Wheel, but this book can be read without reading the other books in the series.
Carter and Fiona compliment each other nicely, and Fiona’s fierceness can’t be beat. I particularly loved when Fiona defended Carter… to himself!
I’m sure the author doesn’t intend to do this, but I’d love to see a spin-off series set in Bluebell Hollow because Phyllis & Kevin need to get up to more shenanigans.
If you’re a fan of small-town romance, you’ll love Chasing Forever.

This is book 4 in the Medicine Wheel series. Tally, owner of Hawkins Farm, play matchmaker for two employees, Carter Mason & Fiona Fletcher. This story is the perfect small town, workmates to lovers story. Both characters have formative backstories, and the author has made the story so fun, with secondary characters like Phyllis & Kevin. Don't be fooled, it's not all sweetness & fun; there's a subplot that’s going to suck you in but the Medicine Wheel family protect their own. I loved Fi's brutal takedown! Great addition to this comfy series.

I received a copy of this book. My honest opinion is voluntarily provided.

I love small town romances that make you feel all warm and fuzzy. That have characters you want to be friends with, so easily lovable you want to move there. I adore Fiona and Carter is the perfect match for her, if their pasts don’t get to them first. The author has a knack for weaving many elements into her stories and each one becomes better than the last. This series is binge worthy and a must read on your list.

I received an ARC and I'm freely reviewing.

So, I've read the other books in this series and was so excited we were getting Fiona and Carter's story. I enjoyed it, I loved that we still got Tally, Luke and the others as well. I enjoyed the beginning of the story but for me I felt Fiona and Carter's struggles within themselves and why they fought the relationship/attraction was kind of quickly addressed. I wish I had a little more there but overall a good story.

I love Small town romances ! They are my favorite kind of reads .

This book was a joy to read. Carter and Fiona are friends who go on a road trip for work .

Both of them have to let go of their past to move on with their futures.

I always enjoy reads by this author and this whole series is brilliant!

Small town romance at its best. BJ Bentley sure knows how to set scenes and draw you in with a style that's so welcoming you'll never want to leave.

What a great read.

4*
Fiona works for Tally after leaving her family when learning their plans for her.
Carter works with Fiona and feels he's undeserving of her, blaming himself for things in his past.
Tally been her usual self sends them to collect a horse she has purchased but Tally is up to her usual fun & mischief.
I've loved this series since reading the first book and they draw you completely in.

I love the books in this series! This is another small town romance that gives you all the feels. The characters are amazing and the storyline is romantic and sweet.

[Carrie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fiona & Carter's story is very sweet w/ a hint of steam and mystery, some healing to be done, and some LOL moments as well.

Oh, and a cat named Kevin. LOLOLOL

I enjoyed their journey - they've been friends for a while, both falling in love from afar, until one day they're on a road trip to pick up a horse for their friend & boss. Their banter & humor carried well throughout the story, and the matchmaking friends were also fun!

: )

I was so excited to return to Medicine Wheel and this book did not disappoint! Carter and Fiona FINALLY figured it out! The bumps and detours along the way kept me turning pages, and their happily ever after was perfect.
This is the 4th book in the Medicine Wheel series and can be read as a stand alone but why would you? All of these books are fabulous!
