OMG! WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO?

First of all, let me say that I was so scared of reading this because of all the reviews...but I read it anyway so...

Part One - I can handle. But when I got to Part Two, I just can't. I knew something was gonna happen because my breathing's erratic and my heart's racing (I'm not exaggerating.) It amazed me what this book did to me.

Hmm... I don't think I can type anything coherent anymore so let me just show you how I felt:

I do not even know where to begin with this book! All I can say is that I was glad that I was in the privacy of my own home when I finished the book and not a doctor's office or something. It was an amazing read but was so heart wrenching. You will go through many emotions while reading about Chase's life. I loved reading a book from a male POV and Chase did not disappoint. You also really fall in love with Nikki through Chase's eyes and can feel the love that the two of them share. Chase is a t...more

Matthew Atkinson as Chase Walker & Selena Gomez as Nikki Wagner


Chase Walker does pretty much all the teenage "rebellious" or coping stuff. Drugs, sex and worse? Getting arrested. When things got a turn for the worst, his mom packed them up to move to his grandfather's old ranch. Since he never liked spending time there so he figured this was his personal hell, he was bent to just deal with it the same way he dealt with things back to where he came from. He never saw this an opportunity that...more

--> My old fears rose up and hit me hard. Suddenly, i didn't know if i was ready to care this much about someone again. -Internal thoughts of Chase in Chasing Nikki

This book hit me hard it makes you face the harsh realities of life in regards to lost,drug abuse,healing and love. The author approached this book with no fear that's for sure. In Chasing Nikki Chase an all star athelete lands in some deep trouble with his mother, so she decides it would be best t...more

4.5-5 Stars! I just love it when I find a YA that I can really enjoy. What a great book! Shocking ending that just tore me apart. Chase is such an amazing character with determination but his grief is raw and real. I felt every emotion conveyed. Such a bittersweet romance. I'm just dying for December to come.

Chasing Nikki was an incredible book.I looooooved Chase and how strong he was despite all the tragedies life brought on him.He managed to recoved throught all the pain and make himself the person Nikki new he could be.Not only did he survived but he also managed to thrive in the end.

Chasing Nikki By Lacey Weatherford

Once again best selling author Lacey Weaterford succeeds in bringing tears to my eyes in this heart breakingly beautiful romance about young love. The book opens up to introduce use to the main character Chase, a partying playboy who for the time uses girls as a distraction instead of looking for love. When he is caught drunk and arrested its the last straw for his mother.

Widowed mother and trouble son move...more

Finding great romance books that aren't practically porn is becoming more and more difficult. It was during my search for good new romance books to read that I came across Chasing Nikki by Lacey Weatherford, a book I read in one sitting.

The story follow Chase Walker, a 17 year old boy who, after his fathers death, becomes mixed up in alchol and such, going from a star athlete to a party boy in a matter of days. When his mother Tori finally became sick of it and moved them to live with his grandp...more

I really think that Chasing Nikki had it all.

75% of the time, I was grinning or laughing. Chase is really funny, sweet, and of course he's swoon worthy. Nikki is totally different from other girls. she's beautiful inside-out and I'm really thankful that they met each other. Everything was perfect. they were so cute together, you know. Chase changed and it's amazing to see how he transformed into someone better because of her. yep, Nikki became the center of his world in a very short amount of t...more

I read this book and its sequel in one day....both books in the same day. I want to support this author and encourage others to read these fabulous books, but she makes it hard to write a review without spoilers. Lacey did an outstanding job connecting the readers with the emotions of a male teen. I have to say I am so glad that the sequel was ready for me to read right away. I suggest you take a chance on Chase and read both Chasing Nikki and Finding Chase. Yes it is a mature young adult book,...more

This review was originally posted on Book Reader Chronicles

Wow, I thought this one was going to be a light-hearted, high school romance novel. I was wrong! The first part of the book followed Chase moving to his grandparents’ ranch and dealing with his father’s death with the only way he knew how – by drinking and doing drugs. Then he meets Nikki, a beautiful cheerleader who wants absolutely nothing to do with a football jock who has player written all over him. But Chase is persistent and even...more

Oh my... Oh my.... I don't even know what to say.. The tears are still flowing.... I've had this book in my nook for quite some time and just never got around to it. Boy oh boy , I was hooked from the beginning and loving every word.... Then it happened and the tears burst out and the flow didnt stop. For that emotion a lone this book gets 3 stars. The connection between Nikki and Chase was perfect. It was like I was there with them experiencing it all. It was not cheesy or anything.

I cried! Hell, I'll be honest, I am still crying. It's not so common to read a book like this completely in the leading man's POV. I read a review that said that it wasn't how teenage boys talk, I would say that it's not how ALL teenage boys talk. I can say for myself that my internal diolog is different from what I let come out of my mouth. If I let all my thoughts come out of my mouth the way they do in my head, I am pretty sure that I wouldn't have made it past the age of 13, because my mothe...more

There are so many emotions in this book, I don't even really know how to write what I'm feeling.

This book starts off with a troubled kid and then morphs into a really sweet romance novel. Then you are smacked with a twist so big, it leaves you an emotional mess.

I really can't say enough about this book. It pulls on your emotions and it leaves you waiting to read the next book. This book deals with heavy topics. It touches on so many different topics, but you never feel that the hard topics are...more

But they find themselves in each other, and their love burns brighter than a thousand fireworks. Nikki also finds her miracle in Chase, which is uber sweet and e

I was in tears at this book! I have never, ever read a book that has made me cry so much in my life! I went through a range of emotions while reading it but I broke down at the end and just sobbed! I was not expecting it at all! I was a little scared about reading this book as it was written from a male point of view and I can't seem to be able to read books told from a male point of view but this book was just amazing and I loved it being written from a male point of view! The plot was quite a...more

This is an amazing book! I read it all in a day because it was so easy to get caught up in the story.

Chase is not your typical bad boy. He turns to drugs and alcohol to numb his pain after his father dies in a horrific accident. He stops caring about the things he used to care about. Seeing how Chase's life is spinning out of control, his mother takes drastic measures to stop the downward spiral. She moves them to his grandparent's ranch in a country town.

Chase readily makes friends at his new...more

****Warning****
You will need some kleenex for this book - I think this deserves a warning otherwise you will be like me, up at 2AM crying like a baby trying not to wake your husband up because he will look at you like you are crazy. What??? You've never been in that boat?

Chase had some hard knocks in his life and he tried to numb them the best way possible or so he thought until he met Nikki. He started to put the pieces back together and put his life back on track. He let Nikki into his heart a...more

Be ready to get your heart yanked out of your chest and get stomped on! Chasing Nikki, is such a wonderfully wrote book, and you can't help but love the characters. Chasing Nikki is in Chase Walker's POV. Yes, totally different from a lot of other book, from being in a males POV.

Chase Walker a young man struggling to over come his fathers death which took place on his 17th birthday, has fallen into drugs and alcohol to cope, but all that has gotten him is in trouble. With his mother having to p...more
