Publisher's summary

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes an all-new Small Town, Friends to Lovers, Law Enforcement romance.

Summer Quinn’s life changed five years ago when she walked in on her boyfriend and her best friend in bed together. She silently left, ghosting both of them, and never looked back. She came to Bitterroot Valley, looking for a fresh start, and that’s exactly what she got.

After purchasing the local floral shop from her eccentric aunt and finding herself again in the absolute delight she brought to the community, Summer feels welcome and safe in her new home.

But things have started to happen. At first, she could blow it off as bad luck, or kids starting trouble. But then the bad luck turns into serious, life-threatening incidents that can’t be ignored.

Bitterroot Valley is Chase Wild’s town. His family settled the area almost a hundred and fifty years ago, and as a police officer, Chase takes pride in keeping his community safe. Sure, he’s had his eye on the gorgeous florist since she moved to town, but he’s kept his relationship with her strictly professional.

Now, someone’s trying to scare Summer. She claims she doesn’t know why, but Chase is determined to get to the bottom of it and drive the danger out of his town. As time passes, and the more he gets to know Summer, the harder it is to keep his hands off of the beautiful woman. With their connection growing, he’s falling in love with her and will do anything to keep her safe.

As Chase learns the truth of who is threatening Summer, will he be able to protect her, and will their love withstand the challenges ahead?

Chasing Wild is a standalone, contemporary romance novel, and book two in the picturesque Wilds of Montana series.

Oh my a must listen

Book came out today on audible and I spent the whole day listening to it. So good cannot recommend enough ❤️❤️❤️

The whole enchilada

This was one of those books that gave everything to you. I loved it and this author is my new favorite.

Chase & Summer

This is a sweet, small town, suspenseful and slightly spicy story about a sassy female flower shop owner, her cute French bulldog, and the hot and Wild cop-carpenter-cowboy that falls in love with her. Because I enjoyed this book, I went back for book 1, and look forward to the rest of the series. The narration was performed by Connor Crais and Stella Hunter and was wonderful! Between family members, wedding guests, and townspeople, they each had lots of characters to perform and they handled them all brilliantly.

Swoony Chase Wild!

“Maybe we’re finally on the same page. Or maybe just in the same chapter. And that’s a good place to start.”

Chasing Wild was my first book by Kristen Proby and I am in love with the Wild Family and the town of Bitterroot Valley, Montana! After breaking up with her awful ex, Summer Quinn has returned home to Bitterroot Valley and purchased her beloved aunt’s florist shop. Soaking up the serenity of small-town life and building a wonderful community has opened Summer’s eyes to the lovely life the valley offers her…and to a handsome cop who has always been there for her. Chase Wild is the quintessential hot, cinnamon roll, cop and his heart is set on Summer Quinn! You know I love a good he-falls-first romance full of pining and grand gestures. Chase’s ability to read Summer’s needs, his patience, calm, and innate talents to take control in the bedroom are only a few reasons he’ll melt your heart. Summer is a relatable, enchanting FMC whose kindness, sincerity, and sultry sass are just the beginning of her charm. Their chemistry was electric and their love for one another was so sweet. I loved Summer’s shop employees and the family she found in the valley because her blood relatives (aside from her aunt) were just awful. This cozy, suspenseful, found family love story will tug at your heartstrings and charm your pants off.

Stella Hunter and Connor Crais are always amazing and Summer & Chase suited them perfectly! I loved the way Stella played with character voices and her voice for Chase was swoon-worthy. With lots of Wild brothers, cousins, and hot wedding guests, Connor’s character voices were authentic and distinct. I didn’t start at book one, but I never felt out of sorts with the plotline or characters. I loved this audiobook from start to finish and can’t wait for more!

Narrators are excellent. Story was predictable.

Nothing sexier in my opinion than a cowboy who’s also a cop. Add to that, he builds beautiful furniture and well, I’m totally smitten. And so is Summer.

Also loved the “girl gang” that Summer becomes a part of. They are young, smart business owners. We have Chase’s sister, his soon to be sister in law, and their best friends. And then they move forward with a women owned business club. Go girls!

A big part of this story is Remington Wild and Erin Montgomery’s wedding because Summer owns the local florist shop and is handling the flowers for this star studded wedding to be held on the Wild ranch. (You can meet Remington and Erin in book 1, Wild For You.).

There’s a little subplot involving wealthy Wild brother, Ryan, and a foster teenager that will melt your heart and I’m looking forward to them being featured in the next book.

Summer is being terrorized throughout this story and the evil doer is more than obvious, but it is charming to see Chase always there for her as the protective law enforcement hero.

Love this!

I am from Montana so I can relate more to this book. The scenes unfolded and I could see them in my mind. Cant wait for the next book! Now the narrators...whew! Connor and Stella are FABULOUS! worth the credit and definitely on my list to read again.

I imagine living in that beautiful place

Beautiful story full of family, love and nature, I want to be part of that.

Chase and Summer’s love story

Chase and Summer’s love story was filled with sweetness and warmth. I loved this story and everything that came with it. Chase has liked Summer since she first came to town. Summer has always been attracted to Chase but wasn’t ready for a relationship back then, but she is now. When she finally gets the courage to ask him out, the ball gets rolling and doesn’t stop. But somewhere lurking in the background is someone set on hurting or scaring Summer. They try to break into her house, spray paint it and even throw a rock through her window. When her flower shop catches on fire, it’s the last straw. Chase needs to figure out who the culprit is to save Summer before it’s too late.
Their relationship begins sweetly and continues sweetly. The narrators were right on target with this one. As I always say, Connor can do no wrong and this was no exception. He was Chase. Stella Hunter was fantastic as Summer. This duo always knocks it out of the park. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone looking for a sweet read about love and respect.

Five Stars 🌟

I absolutely loved returning to Bitterroot Valley. Kristen Proby delivers a phenomenal second installment in this series and I could not be happier! The world building and character development keeps you hanging on every word, i just couldnt get enough!! Chase & Summer were perfect together and I loved every moment of their story. I cannot wait for Ryan's story next!!

a little tired but good story

I kept thinking this story was apart of a couple different series from other authors before I realized it wasn't. some of the names and story lines were very familiar from other books. this had its own things going for it too. I was able to see the twist coming from the beginning but it was still a good listen. loved this couple. the narrators were the best part.
