Welcome to Fool’s Gold, the town where men don’t stay… except, of course, the incredibly gorgeous and wealthy ones who are going to marry the heroines of this series.City planner Charity is hired to bring more men to Fool’s Gold. Though considering her past history with terrible boyfriends, perhaps she wasn’t the best choice. Certainly she doesn’t trust her attraction to local hero Josh--a famous sports figure could never be interested in an ordinary woman like her, right?The perfect-rich-charmi...
Chasing PerfectSusan MalleryCHASING PERFECT is the first book in the Fools Gold series. There are currently thirty one books in this series and I have been wanting to read it since it came out years ago. I'm so excited to finally read it. CHASING PERFECT is a very sweet beginning to this series and lived up to everything my reader friends were saying about it. I was instantly hooked on the story and read it in one day. It is the story of Charity Jones a city planner who is looking to put down ro...
Really a 4.5 star read for me! Just awesome!Susan Mallery delivers a small town romance story that will leave readers anticipating the next book in the series. A combination of whit, charm and steam provides a delightful and entertaining read. Chasing Perfect is about Charity Jones, who is a young, vibrant go-getter. Having spent the majority of her life taking care of herself and moving around, she’s determined to find a place that is quiet and peaceful so that she can settle down. Her whole li...
First things first: I absolutely loved the Gilmore Girls reference in the beginning.I loved Charity's character: smart, funny, determined. I loved when she stood up to Melrose, the reporter, and defended her position as Josh's woman. I did not expect to find that Marsha was her grandmother. I got frustrated that she kept thinking that Josh wanted to win at the end just for the fame.I thought Josh was totally adorable and funny. I'd never read a book before where the hero was a cyclist and I thou...
Wonderful! I liked Josh and Charity.
I can honestly say that this was the hardest book to review for me so far. Don't get me wrong the book was fabulous in my opinion, but i had a hard time doing a review where i didn't spoil it for anyone. I was so happy with everything that i just wanted to gush about everything, so i put the review on hiatus. It has been quite some time since i enjoyed a book so much i couldn't stop thinking about the characters almost 2 months after i finished reading it. With the amount of books i have read be...
I must confess, I read up until a certain point and then sort of just skipped to the end. Well not "sort of", because that's exactly what I did.First things first, I want to say that it got off to a HILARIOUS start. For your pleasure, I took down some of the lines that made me snort tea out my nose (attractively, of course):- "When she made the mistake of meeting his hazel-green eyes, shecould have sworn she heard the theme from Gone with the Wind playing softly in the background."- "...her curi...
I’ve previously red some of the later books in the Fool’s Gold series but going back to the beginning to see how it all started has been absolutely unforgettable. This was a brilliant introduction to Fool’s Gold. Readers get to know the town alongside its newest resident. Mallery’s easy going yet absolutely captivating writing style melds with her unique yet realistic romance for a seamless whole. At the same time, plot twists abound, keeping you on your toes. I love the allusion to the next boo...
I've read a lot of Susan Mallery's newer work, and am finally going back to this series of hers that is SO prolific. Chasing Perfect is the first romance I've ever read with a professional cyclist as one of the leads, so that was refreshing to read! Overall, the story is sweet and I'll be continuing the series. Nothing earth-shattering but not all books need to be that. I'll be slowly making my way through the series as comfort reads for a long time to come.
Threw in the towel at page 32 - when the heroine mentioned for the third time that she just wanted a nice steady guy. That's once every 10 pages. Jesus. Does she have other aspirations in life or is she slowly reduced to her desire for Mr Staid and Stoic?Romance books have a formula. I get it. It works, and for some readers it must be comforting. Take sassy (on the inside) yet conservative chick. Throw in man whore with a heart of gold. Put them in a situation where she acts like a bumbling idio...
