My Review: Chasing Charity was a story centered around Charity Bloom who was just left at the altar by her fiance Daniel who left her for Charity's best friend. Needless to say that was not a good day, and in the aftermath not only does she have to deal with the humiliation of what happened on her wedding day she lost her best friend in the process. Now enters Buddy Pierce who finds oil on her mother's land. Despite Charity's reservations she feels drawn to Buddy and of course as they draw closer to each other Daniel realizes he made a mistake and is determined to get Charity back.
This story was a cute romance that deals with the issues of forgiveness, betrayal, and trust. I really enjoyed reading this book and even though it is heartwarming story it is also full of plots and scandals that will keep you on your toes until the end.
