Chasing The Wild Sparks (Book 1)

Synopsis

What would you do if the love of your life doesn’t want the same life you do?

Hadley Beckett has failed in not only her career, but as a daughter, friend, and girlfriend. Hadley’s longtime boyfriend, Finn Wilder, who is Richmond, Virginia’s local daredevil and favorite sportscaster, isn’t afraid of anything…almost. Hadley desperately wants a marriage and kids with him, the two things Finn infamously dreads.

Finn pressures Hadley into moving in with him, but being traditional, she wants to be married first and she wants to stick to her beliefs, just as he clings to his own. On the other hand, Finn has tolerated Hadley’s stubbornness long enough and he’s reaching his breaking point.

Fearing at 33 that she will soon be too old to have kids, Hadley wants Finn to change his mind and marry her, yet her insecurities about his public life and from his constant rebuffs have her questioning her aspirations. With conflicting advice from her friends, Hadley concludes she should take things into her own hands.

But then again, Finn Wilder has his own story to tell.

20 Fun Facts About Ren Alexander

1. My favorite ice cream is chocolate/peanut butter, but I don’t do the kind with the cups in it.

2. The smell of peaches, cucumbers, and Easter lilies make me viciously gag. I can’t even walk through a produce aisle without breathing out of my mouth or holding my breath when I’m around them. Peaches are especially smelly there.

3. Watermelon, banana, and peach candy flavors are GROSS.

4. I LOVE lighthouses!

5. I’m a huge history buff. I could watch the History Channel all day when they’re showing actual shows about history.

6. I’m right-handed, but can only drive with my left hand. If I drove with my right, I would drive into a tree or off a cliff.

7. I’ve only owned two cars, both Toyotas. The first, I had for 10 years.

8. I can type 65-70 WPM, depending on my mood and what I’m typing.

9. I’m addicted to Diet Mt. Dew ever since they changed the flavor about five years ago.

10. I can’t stomp on bugs. I will hurl.

11. Mushrooms are the devil.

12. I developed asthma when I was 27.

13. I have a B.S. in criminal justice.

14. When I write, I can’t write scenes out of order. It drives me insane. I have to be driven to that point in order to express the characters’ emotions to my full capacity. It’s not organic to me.

15. I’m a music geek. If someone wants to know who sings what, my friends ask me from 50′s music and on.

16. I LOVE to laugh, but hate my laugh. Hmm…

17. I love plaid! If I could dress like a grunge chick or resembling an old man on a golf course everyday, I probably would.

18. I am VERY camera shy. You won’t find me in many pictures.

19. Each person I’ve dedicated my books to (two so far) have made it into my story as a character. Which ones are they? Hmm…

20. I have one tattoo. A skeleton key with an “R” at the top.

****4. Stars!****

This book was totally cute! Definitely a must read for all the hopeless romantics out there! 

It was a totally quick and easy read! It was a nice change in pace from all the heavy stuff I've been reading over the last few weeks! 

While I loved the undeniable chemistry between the two main characters in this book, it just all felt very rushed to me. I loved how easily Cody seemed to fit into Mary Beth and Tommy's (her son) lives. But again it felt very rushed.


I've often wondered if this has ever happened in real life! Am author falling fur their muse, and their muse falling back, so it was definitely really cool to read about it! (Although this is a work of fiction... Still cool none the less!)

Anywhooooo! Totally thought this was a very cute read, and I absolutely love Brittany writing style :)

Just because I didn't rate 5 stars doesn't mean i didn't love it, because believe me I enjoyed the time I spent reading it! 

Congrats to the author on a job well done :)
