The concept of Chasing Clouds was simple yet so unique in my eyes. Although I think that there are quite a few books with the same plot, it was exciting but especially new to me, since I haven't read a story like this before: A stranger speaking up at a wedding ceremony right before the "I do" and trying to save the bride he doesn't know from the groom and the marriage. I've never heard of anything like this happening in real life. It's more of a movie type of concept, or a book in this case, something what dreams are made of because it seems too romantic to happen to real people - unfortunately. But why shouldn't something like this happen for real? I'm sure that Kathryn Andrews believes it can happen to real people which is why I am happy she shared her thoughts on this with the reading world.
Even though Camille and Reid share this special bond which was already visible in the beginning of the book, they are total strangers. Their behavior, their actions, their thoughts, and how they dealt with their situation in general seemed real and believable.
What I also loved about the story was their slow-burn relationship. There was an initial attraction from both sides obviously but there was no insta-love when they first met. The time they took to get to know each other was appropriate and not rushed. Kathryn Andrews really knows how to write her stories.
"Don't ever be sorry, because I would do it all over again if it meant bringing me here to you."
Getting to know the main characters was really exciting, especially Camille's personal and family story was intriguing. It was also quite shocking which is why I was rooting for her throughout the whole story. I was really happy for her but also happy with her because
I also met or rather read about some old friends aka characters from previous Kathryn Andrews' books. It's cool that the stories are so entangled with each other.
"To love oneself is to love life."
The only thing I didn't quite like was that certain scene in the epilogue. It was just a little too much for my liking.
All in all, Chasing Clouds is an amazing book and the reason why I love reading Romance books. It's not cheesy or too sexy, it was angsty, romantic, lovely, and oh so sweet.
I can't wait for her next novel.
