OVERVIEW:
Maisy Gallagher has her own dreams, but when her father passes away, she selflessly sets them aside to help her family. Despite knowing it was the right thing to do, she can’t help but wish for the road not taken.

Chase Furst, the hardened heir to a financial empire, is on the other hand primarily focused on his own life and on his work as a bank executive. His childhood was marred by his mother’s struggle with addiction, and left him cynical and emotionally distant.

But then Chase meets Maisy, a beautiful woman full of optimism and kindness who can see past his defenses. To his surprise and annoyance, she offers to help him during a time of need, and declines his offer of payment. Instead, she asks him to pay it forward—and not with money or a quick fix, but through an act of true selflessness. At a loss, Chase doesn’t know where to begin.

Chasing the Clouds Away by Debbie Macomber Review

I tend to read many genres because sometimes I need a break after a particularly tough book. When I need a brain break, a book by Macomber is a great option.

Known for her feel-good, heartwarming stories, she always delivers the goods. Great character development and an easy flow to her books make the choice simple.

Chasing the Clouds Away offers all of this and more. The story is not overly complex and shares a lesson to remember: giving back helps you grow as a person while developing kindness and compassion.

The cast of characters in Maisy’s world blends well and offers a supportive family unit even as they struggle through several issues. Chase is a strong male lead and struggles with his own family issues, but he is learning while growing. He is open to giving so much more.

As the two begin to develop feelings, some conflicts appear as guilt and loyalty get in the way. Maisy has much to learn, as does Chase. Together, they learned to balance and grow their feelings in this sweet romance.

Addictive, heartwarming story with surprising characters which gives us the happy ending we love and leaves us with a smile.
