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.

“Heartwarming, fast paced, laugh out loud fun.”


~ Susan Fox, Best-selling author

“Chasing Charlie will chase away the blues with a red dress, a real love, and a whole lot of fun!”

~ Christie Ridgway, Best-selling author

“Funny, sweet, poignant…best feel-good book I’ve read all year.”


~ Trish Jensen, USA TODAY Best-selling author

“A once innocent plan becomes an entangled romance . Funny and sweet. A most entertaining combination.”

~ Carol Bozovich, Rendevzous Magazine

THE TEXAS TWO-STEP, in series order

Western Pleasure

My Thoughts:

This was a quick, easy read. I started it late in the afternoon and had it finished before I went to bed the same day. It was a combination of being a shorter read and a good book that I didn’t want to walk away from.

Chasing Charlie

was predictable to the past few romance books I have read. A hot hunk, not looking for love who is taken by surprise. What wasn’t predictable was everything else that happens!

Davis is a wannabe cowboy, rancher, rodeo competitor who is currently working in titles. He is hunky and full of himself.

Charlie is your down to earth, shy, librarian who doesn’t have confidence or know her beauty.

How these two end up and the journey they take together is one that will keep you turning the pages to see what happens next.

It was definitely a cute read that I thoroughly enjoyed!
