Topher from CHASING FOREVER DOWN

“The hell you are,” a voice says from behind me. He dives past me, onto the pool table, and pops up like he would on a surfboard. He nails a perfect surfer stance, then waves the shaka sign with both hands. “Everyone knows Shark was the best…now it’s me.”

Topher! I think it's safe to say that Topher is Nikki's favorite Hooligan. This kid has heart and talent. He is always hyped up on sugar cubes and a bottle of Ocean Blast Energy drink. His dream is to be signed by Drenaline Surf, and his best friend is my darling Miles Garrett. Topher will definitely become a huge character in the rest of the series, so when you read CHASING FOREVER DOWN, make sure to remember him. It won't be hard, though. Topher is memorable enough by himself!

After seventeen-year-old Haley Sullivan meets a mysterious stranger who plays by his own rules, she's more than determined to learn every trick of the trade from the master himself. But her dream-chasing mentor disappears after that night, and according to the local newspapers, he's been dead for years. Knowing he's very much alive, Haley enlists best friend Linzi to join her on a scavenger-hunt-style road trip that ultimately lands them in the surf town of Crescent Cove, California. Mystery guy is no mystery here, though – he's Colby Taylor, the west coast's biggest professional surfer.

If Haley wants to talk to the wave rider again, she'll have to get past his four intimidating "bodyguards" who are highly skilled in the business of sending starstruck fangirls back to where they belong. Haley is up for the challenge if it means chasing her dreams and escaping the perfectly corporate future that's been planned for her. But dealing with these bodyguards isn't exactly what Haley imagined it'd be. Sure, being thrown off a jet ski sucks, but falling in love with one of them might just be worse.

Miles Garrett (Best Hooligan Everrrrr) from CHASING FOREVER DOWN

“Pay up!” a blonde with nappy dreadlocks shouts out.

Ohhhh Lord! Miles Gray Garrett is my absolute favorite book boyfriend everrrrrrr!!!! He is one of those guys who never backs down from anything. He's the best West Coast Hooligan (yeah, yeah. I know that's 'my opinion' LOL) and the most reckless. He's the one who's going to take the most dangerous wave imaginable. He'd rather break every bone in his body than not be out in the water on his green and silver surfboard. (Fun fact: Miles's surfboard is green and silver like Aralie's, from American Girl On Saturn, Up Up and Away dress because I'm a Slytherin ((and emerald is my favorite color.)), and Nikki worked the house colors into both books because of it. #LoveHer) Miles is gritty and rough, but he can be really deep and thoughtful when he's not yelling and throwing punches like the Hooligan he is. He is extremely loyal to his friends and like the other WCHs he's very territorial of the Horn Island waters.


Miles laughs and shakes his head. “You’re either deaf or just fucking stupid. The pier to those rocks – my water. The pier and beyond – your water. Now get the fuck out of here or I’m gonna fuck you up and drown you in my water!”


Yeah, stay out of his waters. Miles becomes a huge character in the rest of the Drenaline Surf books and gets a really hot new girlfriend who sales non-evil voodoo dolls. ;) I hear she's kind of awesome!

Colby Taylor from CHASING FOREVER DOWN

“Black tie affairs should make the top ten list of reasons why people commit suicide,” he says.

He tugs his tie to one side. “Noose provided.”

Colby Taylor certainly is a charmer, isn't he? If he hadn't walked up to Haley and said that, CHASING FOREVER DOWN wouldn't have happened. What Haley didn't know was that when he offered to take her to see a cover band, she was escaping with a guy that everyone thought had been dead for three years. He faked his death, changed his name, and chose to chase his forever down and become the West Coast's biggest surf star. 

All Haley wants to know...is how. And why did he come back to North Carolina if his forever is amazing there? Did he want to see his parents one last time if only at a glance? Did he need closure? Or did he come to inspire a girl in corporate prison to chase her forever down? And why was the only trace he left for her an origami paper star?

Find out all about Colby Taylor and his secrets as Haley journeys across the country to find him!

A.J. Gonzalez from CHASING FOREVER DOWN!

I decided to do this post today instead of yesterday. New Year is about saying goodbye to a year past and hello to a brand new one. Well when Haley meets the third "bodyguard" of Colby Taylor, that's kind of what happens with her BFF. Happy New Year everyone! :)

What can I say about A.J. Gonzalez? He's a bit of a wild boy who can't stay out of trouble. In all honesty, though, he'd be in trouble with Deputy "Jackass" Pittman anyway just because he inhaled differently. None of the starstuck fangirls of Colby Taylor's have ever gotten past A.J. They all run away after they see his crazy stunt on the Jet Ski. Haley is the first person (other than Reed) to actually get on the back of the bright yellow Jet Ski with him (and Reed still has the scar), and she's one of the first outsiders to actually give him a chance to be more than a crazy Mexican thug.

A.J. has so many layers to him it's unreal. He can be wild and crazy or the nicest, sincerest, friendliest person in the world. If you're real with him and treat him right, he'll do the same with you. It's just a matter of getting past the front he puts on to scare people away. While Linzi is off sucking face with Alston, Haley and A.J. become almost inseparable best friends. Don't get me wrong, Haley and Linzi still remain friends, but A.J. now holds the BFF portion of Haley's heart!

He's also Nikki's favorite character in CHASING FOREVER DOWN! Maybe he'll become your book boyfriend for 2014! So, go get your copy now!!!

Alston Wright from CHASING FOREVER DOWN

 

Alston Wright is the second bodyguard of Colby Taylor. He's extremely hot, but he knows it too. He likes to party, is a major flirt, wears brightly colored swim trunks, and has a tattoo hidden under his shirt. Most people see him as a player because he flirts with so many different girls, but he can't help it! Having to keep a secret like Colby Taylor's means he can't let people in. No one can find out the truth from him, so he's not able to have a committed relationship. Fortunately for Alston, he gets to have somewhat of a real relationship with Haley's BFF Linzi while they search for Colby in the wonderfully beautiful town of Crescent Cove!

Find out more about Alston in CHASING FOREVER DOWN now! :)

Reed Strickland from CHASING FOREVER DOWN

 

You know those genuinely nice guys who you just can't help but love? That's Reed. He's cute, nice, and pretty dang smart. He works at his family's boating store, but he's also one of Colby Taylor's "bodyguards"! He's not very good at being a bodyguard, though. He's just too dang nice for the job, but he really is good to have around. I mean he does know all the Crescent Cove/Colby Taylor secrets, and he's just the guy to ask about them.

If you guys haven't gotten a copy of CHASING FOREVER DOWN by Nikki Godwin yet, you should! Reed may just become one of your book boyfriends! ;)
