Chasing Forever Down by Nikki Godwin
Title: Chasing Forever Down (Drenaline Surf #1)
Author: Nikki Godwin
Date of Publication: March 14, 2013
Genre: contemporary YA romance with sports
Blurb:
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.

Excerpt 2
“Whoa!” Alston yells out.
I look back. His lips keep
moving, but I can’t hear anything over the roaring of A.J.’s jet ski.
“– the hell!?” is all I
catch. I throw my arms into the air and shake my head as Alston moves toward
me.
“What the hell are you
doing?” he asks once he’s within earshot. He motions at A.J., but I know he’s
talking to me.
“Jet skiing,” I say. “You
know, most people wear lifejackets. I thought that was normal.”
He points at A.J. “You’re
seriously getting on that with him? Are you crazy? No one has ever ridden with
A.J. Well, except that one time Reed did. He still has the scar to show for
it.”
My blood boils as hot as this
raging summer sun. This whole jet skiing with A.J. deal was a ploy, just like I
thought. He’s probably rocked his mechanical bull moves on that yellow jet ski
for a thousand girls. I bet he blew cigarette smoke on them and wrapped his arm
around their pretty tan shoulders and told them how wave jumping with him would
be the most badass experience of their lives. And at that point, the girls
decided to take turns riding with Alston or they found another chiseled beach
bum to waste their time with. None of them ever dared to get on the back of
Jailbird Gonzalez’s jet ski.
But I do.
