Great Book

I loved this book. The instant connection between Kelly and Len was perfect. I loved their banter, and devotion. Even after years of seperation, they still found their way back to each other. I loved it!

Tummy Full of Butterflies

I had the pleasure of listening to this gem in return for an honest review.

This is my first book experience with Terri Laine and it won't be my last!

This story is the first in a series of 2 so far. Kelly comes from a home of violence. His father, an alcoholic and abuser makes his life miserable and his mother is dying from MS. A boy from the opposite side of the tracks meets Lenny, a girl trapped in the confines of appearances forced upon by her parents.

This story has it all honestly. Heartbreak, action, mystery, and a happily ever after too. I really fell in love with Kelly and Lenny and their story. I'm hoping the author will revisit this couple as I felt like I just didn't get enough of them.

The voice of Kelly on the audiobook was great but I didn't particularly care for the female narrator that was chosen. That's the only negative thing I can say but do not let it deter you from this great story.

4 Chasing Butterflies Stars

For a New Adult book it’s really good. I very much liked the timeline, I like getting to really know the character from childhood up to adult.

Kelley & Lenora had a pretty close connection from the first meeting and I fall for that every single time.

Kelley didn’t have such a wonderful childhood and I was rooting for him. My heart hurt for him so much throughout this book.

Lenora, I liked her and I wanted her to stand up for herself a lot. I did like that she does here and there. But she was not a whimp at all thank you Terri E. Laine for that <3

This story really brings you full circle.

I liked the narration; Graham Halstead knocked it out of the park. Taffy Johnsen has a great voice for a young female. So it worked for this book.

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

Kelley and Lenora will melt your heart.

Terri E. Laine never disappoints. This is a wonderful story of second chance love. Follow Kelley Moore and Lenora Wells from high school to college has they fall in love, are ripped apart and then find each other again. This is one to listen to again and again.

It was okay!

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

It had a great storyline, but it was very sad. Very abusive!

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Not to make Kelley so weak, she could had raised her son on her own.

What about Taffy Johnsen and Graham Halstead ’s performance did you like?

Taffy did not do a good job on the male voice.

Terrible disgusting story!

I had to stop it after like 4 chapters. The male lead is sex crazed and disgusting. The female lead is insane for being drawn to such a tool. If you like porn, this is for you. If you enjoy sweet romances, look elsewhere.
