Chasing Castles: A Second Chance Brother's Bestfriend/Bestfriend's Little Sister Romance (Finding Focus Series Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Jiffy Kate (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 245 ratings
**Interconnected Standalone**

Long before Dani Reed and Micah Landry, there was the story of Deacon and Camille.

Camille Benoit loved to express herself on canvas and was a dreamer at heart. The small farm she was born and raised on bordered the Landry Plantation, providing her with prime real estate for daydreaming. Even though she spent a lot of time with her head in the clouds, one thing she was always certain about were her feelings for Deacon. He might’ve been two years older and one of her brother’s best friends, but none of that mattered to Cami.

Deacon Landry, older brother to Micah, was the local football star. The town might’ve put him on a pedestal, but he always had his feet firmly planted in the rich Louisiana soil. With all of his skills on and off the field, a good head on his shoulders, and a heart of gold, he was quite the catch, and everyone knew it, especially his long-time best friend, Cami.

"I know we've done things slowly, but I've loved you since I knew what it meant to love someone. "


He is all her heart has ever known. Her past, present and future. But will the future live up to her dreams?

Product description

About the Author

In case you didn’t notice, there are two of us. We’re both from the south, one just a little further than the other. Jiff was born and raised in Louisiana. She’s now living in Texas with her two teenagers and a bulldog named Georgia Rose. She loves purple and 80’s movies and geeking out at Comic Cons. Jenny Kate was born and raised in Oklahoma. She’s the mom of a twelve-year-old and two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Wrigley and Oliver. She also loves Kris Bryant, the Chicago Cubs and coffee. Some people think we’ve been friends forever, but in reality, we’ve only known each other for five years. Four of those years, we’ve spent spinning tales and writing words. Our first published book, Finding Focus, was released in November 2015. If you like a romance set in the south, then you’ll love our southern fried fiction with heart and soul.

    I couldn't put this one down and finished it in a matter of hours, which generally isn't like me (and always makes me sad when it's over quicker!). I loved Cami's story and I was definitely in love with Deacon too by the time he left for college. This had a great plot and even though it was frustrating at times, it was all necessary for the story to work as it did and made it so much more satisfying when things progressed! Peppered with laugh out loud moments, I just loved these two and becoming acquainted with the whole Landry clan and friends, once more. A wonderful read :)

    Reading this book felt like drinking a glass of cold lemonade on a hot Louisiana day. It was beautiful, gentle and fulfilling, with characters I really came to care about. Cami was a fabulous heroine -- one that you rooted for throughout the story, and Deacon was a mouthwateringly lovely (and sexy) hero. I loved the way the story weaved in their history with the present day emergency, allowing you to see how the couple became the people they are today.

    I've been a big fan of Jiffy Kate's writing for a while now. Their stories are beautiful, feel-good and heartwarming, and I can't wait to read their next one!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 August 2016
    I was lucky enough to win an ARC of Chasing Castles and I am so glad I did, if you have read Finding Focus you will love this. Cami and Deacon are so sweet and Deacon is just perfect in fact the whole book is so well written that it makes you want to be a part of the Landry family. I aspire to be Annie and have the relationship she has with her kids with mine. I loved the whole book and can't wait for the next one in the series 💗

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Second Book in the Finding Focus Series
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 August 2016
    Having re-read the first book in the 'Finding Focus' series only recently, I was so happy to go on to read Cami and Deacon's back-story. That said, you don't need to read the first book in the series in order to get hooked on this one - I just wanted to get myself back into the 'Southern' zone :-)

    This is a love story in two parts: the first part being very much Camille's story of how she fits into the Landry family, and how she's besotted with Deacon Landry - very much a story of young love that remains - for the most part, at least - unrequited. Half way through the book, Camille's 'knight in shining armour' rescues her from a very unhappy relationship - and the rest of the book focusses on the rediscovery these characters undergo with one another.

    It's sweet without being sickly, and is peppered with humour and a couple of 'insider' references (the band name 'Hard Limits' being one of them!). I'm a sucker for a 'Happily Ever After' and this book didn't disappoint - I was left with a big smile on my face and feel safe in the knowledge that there's bound to be a third book in the series to come - I'm sure Jiffy Kate won't leave any loose ends :-)

    This book is due out on 30/08/2016 - I was given an advanced reader's copy for an honest review.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The best Landry man yet!
    Reviewed in the United States on 1 September 2016

    “Chasing Castles” is the second book in the Focus Series for Jiffy Kate. This time we get to know all about my BookHusband Deacon and the charming Camille. He’s yet another Landry man to love. Add in our leading lady, written with so much love your heart will burst, and this book is simply perfection. Not wanting to say that the sequel is better the first, but I have never fallen in love so fast. From the arms of Deacon Landry, I write this review.

    When you open the book, you immediately drift into a peace with the ‘voice’ of Camille Benoit. I am so enthralled with her and the words are woven together in such a way that I feel like I’m not reading a book. I am on the couch with my friends, learning the “how we met” story. Cami’s voice is strong and comfortable, familiar. And I love how I can connect to her immediately. I fall right in step with her flow and ease into the comfort of her motions as she paints this story.

    Meanwhile in the background Jiffy Kate has secretly lured me into this rising action that will be the focus of the present parts of the book. We get a look into the past, learning so much about Deacon and Camille. Then we catch up with the crazy ride of the present.

    “This is where they belong. I love them, Cami, and every time I’m here, and I look at them, I think of you, and it’s like you’re here with me. And I love that, too.” This, ladies and gentlemen, is Deacon Landry. He is all melted butter and sweet as honey. He is fierce, loyal, and drop dead sexy. Jiffy Kate wrote him so well that I feel like no other man can measure! Crazy? Well just read this book and find out for yourself. I’ll be here, waiting to say, “I told you so.”

    “ I just couldn’t cover up the past, ya know?”

    “ You shouldn’t. The past is what makes us who we are right?”

    Camille Benoit and Deacon Landry
    Chasing Castles, p. 78

    Deacon (Deke) Landry has always held a special place in Camille (Cami) Benoit’s heart.

    Having grown up next to the Landry Plantation, Cami, her brother, Tucker, and all of the Landry kids are more like siblings than neighbors. Deke has always looked out for Cami in a brotherly fashion, but in Cami’s daydreams, he’s been the prince residing in the castle of her fantasies. Entering adulthood, Deke and Cami each head in different directions into a world filled with new people and exciting times. Even though life takes different turns for both of them, Deke and Cami never lose the threads of love and friendship bind them to one another.

    Chasing Castles is the second novel in Jiffy Kate’s Finding Focus series, and is a stand alone book. As with Finding Focus, the story revolves around the Landry family, their neighbors and friends. Told in flashbacks and from alternating points of view, the authors wind a romantic tale of longing set in the sultry Louisiana heat. Deke is a true prince of a guy — he’s noble and credible (not to mention mouthwatering). Cami is endearing as the artist who sees her dreams come to fruition, regardless of what life has handed her — she’s a lovely, young Magnolia. (Speaking of Magnolias, who wouldn’t want to be mothered by Annie Landry?)

    Team Jiffy Kate know how to craft characters that truly are the stuff of daydreams. The voices of the characters, as well as the plot lines are so well incorporated that this reader forgot Chasing Castles is a collaborative effort — it’s that seamlessly written. That the fates of Deke and Cami are a foregone conclusion does nothing to detract from the pleasure of this read.

    Congratulations, Ladies on another winning story that left this reader longing for a seat at the next Landry barbecue.

    I love a good second chance and friends to lovers romance and this was both. At first, I wasn't sure how I liked the constant back and forth of the past and present, but it helped explain Cami and Deacon's story and love it together more interestingly. And while I had met Cami and Deacon in books that are later in their timeline, I was curious how their relationship developed by how things had been hinted at in other books. This didn't disappoint. Loved this book and looking forward to the rest of the series.

    This book was refreshing. Nevermind the fact that it was like a romance jackpot of sorts (second chance love story, friends to lovers romance, surprise baby, etc), the chemistry between Deacon and Cami was something truly magical. Their connection was deep and meaningful and clearly stood the test of time. A friend turned me on to Finding Focus and I could not put it down. I was seriously counting down the days for this book to come out and I was not at all disappointed. I loved how the book alternated between the past and the present, and also how it was told from different perspectives. It truly enhanced the reader experience and added to the depth of this love story. The authors have a genuine gift with their words and I will not hesitate to purchase their books in the future.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I absolutely LOVED this book

    OMG, I absolutely LOVED this book!!! It completely owned me, I couldn't put it down. I loved the first book, Finding Focus, but this book was even better. Cami and Deacon's story was so touching and heartfelt, it just drew me in and wouldn't let go. The book alternates chapters from present time to the past, which I didn't think would work but it worked beautifully. My heart went out to Cami on so many occasions. Her love for Deacon was so deep and had been there for so long. I did want to throttle her when she got involved with Tristen and stayed with him. Loved it when she finally saw his true colors and kicked him to the curb. Oh, my heart, when Deacon came to her rescue at that time! Don't want to give away any spoilers, but this is a book that won't disappoint and deserves your attention.
