Plot: Eddie Neff needs space. Not the type that country stars croon about, but physical distance from her emotionally distant father and the tatters of a broken relationship. So when the opportunity to relocate her life and interior design business arises, the answer comes easily.

Adjusting to life with Claire, her gregarious new roommate, is more than simply testing comfort limits. With just one meeting, Eddie finds herself unable to resist the draw of Harris Grant, Claire’s brooding and overprotective older brother.

Harris doesn’t fit her idea of a safe relationship. He pushes Eddie to face her deepest insecurities and fears of abandonment. And Harris holds on to his own painful loss, unable to overcome personal demons.

Eddie and Harris must learn to conquer their internal struggles. But as they navigate their new love, outside forces fight to drive them apart.

Author note: In Pursuit is the first book in a two book series. Intended for 18+ readers.

MY REVIEW:

"Edith, I'm all yours, and I hope you'll be all mine, too."

Omigah, I LOVED this!!

In Pursuit, was a lovely and captivating read that I literally read through two sittings. Why two sittings, you may ask? Well, my first go kept getting interrupted by my young niece and nephew so when I got the chance to isolate myself for my second go, I did!!! Hehe.

I was so enthralled with the story of Eddie, short for Edith, and Harris' story that I could not put down my android!!

Eddie was so relatable in her struggle to start of new life for herself. She grows up with a mentally and emotionally distant father and no mother. As she finishes college, her bestie, Sarah, hooks her up with an apartment with rich empire mogul, Claire Grant.

She then meets Harris, Claire's older brother, and the sparks immediately fly.

Now throw in some new faces, a whole lot of drama, a sprinkle of sexiness, and external forces trying to tear these two lovers apart and you got yourselves a story!!

So, my verdict: Gosh, a definite MUST READ that I'd recommend to all you readers!!

It's like I said in the beginning of my review, I really did love this book!! Not because the author contacted me personally to read it but because I genuinely did.

In Pursuit flowed very nicely, was easy to read, and had enough suspense to keep me wondering what would happen next.

Eddie was so likable and easy to grasp a hold on her reality whereas Harris was so elegant and mysterious that made me just like the pairing of the two!

I now can't wait for the sequel, Of Happiness , which also happens to be the conclusion of the story!! The ending of In Pursuit made my heart drop!!! I need to know what happens next for "Hardith", Olivia!!
