Publisher's summary

There is only one thing wrong with the charming community of Fool’s Gold, California: the men don’t stick around! This problem has to be fixed, fast, and Charity Jones may be just the city planner up to the challenge. Charity immediately falls in love with all the storybook town has to offer – except its sexy, famous, world-class cyclist Josh Golden.

Critic reviews

"The book brims with quick-witted, good-natured characters, and though Charity and Josh occasionally verge on blandness, their romance grows poignantly and with chemistry to spare." ( Publishers Weekly)

Delightful

I just love this Author & Narrator, they are a perfect team. I've initially started this series bit in order, but are now going back to the original order. The boss are good reads even out of order.

Good read

I put off reading this book for whatever reason & passed onto the others books instead. BIG MISTAKE! This book intrigued me after I read the synopsis. This book set up all the other stories. IT was delightful to read. I understood the characters more. I'd recommend this book to others.

I love the Fools Gold series.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I did recommend this series to all of friends and family ,because it leaves you with a very positive feeling and you can not wait for the next book.

What about Tanya Eby’s performance did you like?

She is very good at projecting the men as well as the women.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The books make me laugh and feel sad but it always ends on a happy note.

Any additional comments?

I really love the Mayor she has supernatural instincts about everybody in town ,hometown folks as wall as the newbees. I have all of the books even the ones not sold by audible...

Another great one

I don’t think I’ve ever read a Susan Mallery book that I didn’t love. I love the whole story line of Fools Gold. It’s a place I wish I could visit.

Love Love Love

One of my favorites I love the whole Fools Good Series. When u feel like your losing your best friends the books continue.

A bit too romance novel for me

What did you like best about Chasing Perfect? What did you like least?

The characters were the best part--extremely likable and easy to get invested in. Although the book had a couple of twists here and there, it was quite predictable. My best comparison would be to a soap opera -- stock characters who are overly dramatic.

Storyline

Liked the pace of the reader, the flow of the story and small town life

Another good book by Susan Mallery

Where does Chasing Perfect rank among all the audiobooks you???ve listened to so far?

The entire series of the Fool's Gold books hae been very good

Who was your favorite character and why?

Charity is a young woman who raised herself from a child who was moved from place to place every few months. Then took control of her life and after college found her way home and a grandmother who had missed the wonderful growing up years of her only granddaughter. Then to find someone who was looking for the same future family that she was.

How could the performance have been better?

NEVER allow Tanya Eby into the recording studio again to read one of Susan's or anyones book.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This is a good story, but the fake 'Valley Girl' voice of Tanya Eby was like fingernails on a chalk board.

Any additional comments?

Susan Mallery is such a good story teller, well developed characters. However, when will authors learn that they do not have to put such descriptive sexual descriptions into their books. These descriptions are take away from an otherwise good story.

Very Entertaining!

Great storyline! I can always count on Susan Mallery to keep me entertained, and deliver a happy ending!

Hmmm... kinda iffy

I love Susan Mallery... The Buchanan Series, They Keye Sister Series, and even the Lone Star Series and a few other audio books. Enjoyed them all !! But this Series????? well I don't think I will listen to the next book, I just couldn't get into it at all nor relate to the people in the book.... Sorry
