I received an ARC edition book from Netgalley . This is my honest review.


Christian Watson is hero , hot, alpha and cocky about his life except when it's Emily.

Emily is hard to know to like and is insecure about her ability to make a Relationship continue.She is strong,nosy and responsible , caring

The writing is perfection and easy
I highly recommend this book it has suspenseful, filled with alpha badassness and I also enjoyed the banter between the characters

Julie Ann Walker continues her exciting Black Knights Inc. series with Hot Pursuit. I have to say that I have been addicted to this series since reading the first book.

This action packed story takes up right after Fuel For Fire where Christian and Emily and their small crew of operatives are doing their best to get out of England. It was great reading as Christian and Emily have been fighting their feelings for a while now so there was a lot of sexual tension. As usual, nothing went as planned as the group met with some trouble from Christian's past. This one had loads of action, adventure, and passion.

Julie Ann Walker's writing was fantastic like always. I didn't want to put down my Kindle for a minute. The characters were so very vividly written that I could picture them in my mind .... Christian with his smoldering sexiness and Emily's spunky grit reminding me of Becky from In Rides Trouble. This author truly brings her characters to life and has absolutely no trouble in getting the readers attention. I have to admit that she broke my heart with Christian's mysterious past.

From beginning to end this book captured my total attention. I LOVED IT !!!

Julie Ann Walker always creates an interesting story with complex characters, lots of suspense and sexy romance.  Hot Pursuit is no exception.  I’ve been watching Emily and Christian and like their coworkers, I often rolled my eyes and wondered when they’d just do it.  They finally get their time.

It felt a bit contrived that they finally have sex, and of course, it’s off the charts, but it comes while they’re hiding from an unknown enemy trying to kill them and in a museum-like residence.  The story was a complete departure from the cases they’ve been working on too.

I did find Christian’s search for a condom and the ultimate solution very amusing.  I thought for sure we’d get Ace and Rusty in the next book since they were such a focal point in this one.  I want to see if these two can figure it out.

Hot Pursuit was highly entertaining, suspenseful and intense.  I cared about Emily and Christian and wanted to see them find their happily ever after.

Emily and Christian burn up the pages! Another hot story in the BKI series. I will be so sad to see Black Knight Inc close their doors and be legitimate bike people! Christian and Emily finally give into the feelings they have been fighting for one another. Christian helps Emily to see that loving someone is not a bad thing and she can have a normal relationship. Of course in BKI fashion, they find themselves in trouble and with the help of Ace, Rusty and Angel they are able to neutralize the threat. The story was good and I enjoyed Christian and Emily's chemistry. Another good read in the series.

Christian and Emily have been circling each other for some time now. This is their story.

Christian Watson is a former English Intelligence officer. He is now working for the Black Knights, Inc. a covert black ops group. He is polished, intelligent, always in control of himself and a bit of a mystery to the rest of the group. He grew up poor and has worked hard to get where he is.

Emily Scott is the office manger for the Black Knights. She is intelligent, independent, spunky, funny, sarcastic and speaks her mind. She also grew up poor.

This picks up where the last book ended, with some of the team in England. While there, Christian’s past catches up with them and puts them on the run. Emily and Christian are forced to work closely together and in constant close proximity to each other. Emily has been burned already by a workplace romance gone bad and she’s not about to risk her job again despite her overwhelming attraction to Christian.

Plenty of snarky sarcasm and laughable moments between these two. Once Christian decides he is all in, he goes after what he wants. He is patient and encouraging with Emily but she is stubborn. A bit too much. I got irritated with her a couple times. I enjoyed watching Christian’s walls fall.

Ace and Rusty are also a minor romance. These two are attracted, but at different points in their lives, and neither is giving in.

The search for Spider continues, only with a bit more information to go forward. That discovery seemed a bit too easy for as long as the chase has gone on.

As per her usual, we are given the next book pairing near the end of the book. I am curious about Angel’s past.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC provided by the author.

Grab a cool drink, sit back and enjoy one hot read. The sparks between Christian and Emily have been undeniable as they tease, snap, and snark at each other keeping their mutually denied attraction regulated to professional with a side of aggravating each other (along with their fellow teammates stuck listening to while wishing they'd "just do it already"). When those sparks finally burn away the denials and the two decide to give in, things really heat up. Although Emily insists on keeping things casual to avoid problems in their working relationship (and reveals her reasons for being commitment shy), Christopher decides to put all those years of covert ops to new use -- to sneak in, steal her heart and win their HEA together. We find out about Christopher's childhood, why he left SAS and eventually joined BKI, as well as some other interesting bits about the man behind the designer suits, perfect hair and flashy cars. A large portion of the story takes place over a 24 or so hour period as the team tries (with difficulty in part due to Christopher's past catching up to him) to finally leave England and get home to Chicago. There was a lot action mixed in with some quiet moments that kept the book moving at a good pace without overwhelming. I appreciated that the author (a) didn't wrap up and gloss over Emily's fears at that point but instead continued Christopher's personal operation to win her over beyond their fight to get home and (b) how the she handled the added time period so as to neither drag out the story needlessly nor rush the ending, rather leaving the reader feeling satisfied with both the action and romance plot lines of the book. Now to wait for Angel's book.

Christian Watson has been defending his country but England doesn’t feel like home anymore. Not when there’s a new enemy coming out of every corner making him and his team run after survival. The only thing making everything bearable is his hot and witty partner who not only makes him nuts, warms his heart all the same.
Emily Scott, former CIA operator, lost her job thanks to a relationship with a partner and she’s not about to do the same. Not when she just found a family and the perfect job at BKI. No matter how tempting Christian Watson might be. But she can’t run away from her feelings, not when they’re pulling her to him so hard.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The BKI team is composed by five people. Besides Christian and Emily, there’s still Ace, Rusty and Angel. Angel is a pretty serious and reserved guy. Ace and Rusty are a whole different story. They’re both gays and, whilst Ace has no problem admitting that he’s gay, Rusty can’t imagine what it would be like to tell his family about his sexuality. Add that to the fact that they have the hots for each other and you have two men kissing right after arguing for the longest time. And that’s as far as they go. There’s no sexual encounters between them, just kissing and lots of arguing.
Now let’s get to what’s important…
Do you want a man who would take a bullet for you? Because if you do, I have Christian Watson here for you. Do you also want a man who would cook you breakfast? Because I have one of those too and his name is Christian Watson. Seriously. What a man! And when you think a human being (he’s a character but still) can’t get any better, surprise, surprise! He has an accent! A very sexy and very British accent! The man is perfect and I haven’t even talked about his looks!
Emily is pretty insecure when it comes to her ability to maintain a relationship. Both her parents had innumerous partners through their lives and she’s sure she would be the same thing if she tried. So, she won’t even try.
This was my first book by Julie Ann Walker and also my first book of the BKI series. And, as you probably already noticed, to say that I loved this book is not nearly enough. Little details like the jokes about their accents, their silenced conversations and even the cozy conversations between the team made this book absolute perfection! The writing style is easy, light and right to the point. Just the way I like it! The pace of the book is also on point! Even between the heart-stopping dangerous scenes she finds the perfect time to give us some love!
So, I highly recommend this book. If you’re afraid because of the MM relationship, there’s nothing to be afraid about because as I said, they just kiss probably two times and that’s about it. Their story is left unfinished which I hope will have its closure in the next book of the series.
Just be aware that this can be really really addicting!

5/5 STARS!!!!!!
Hot Pursuit is the eleventh book in the Black Knights Inc. series and it was amazing! Christan and Emily were great together and their banter is absolutely hilarious. I enjoyed the suspense, action, and romance in this book immensely. I can't wait to find out who spider is!! Emily and Christan got their happy ending and I hope to see more of Ace and Rusty in the next book.
Can't wait for Angels book:)
**I received an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.

Hot Pursuit picks up right where Fuel for Fire left off. Our intrepid heroes are struggling to get back to the good ol USA but hiding out in not so Jolly Ol England has them running again. All this running has put some things in perspective for former SAS officer Christian Watson. He has always wanted smart mouthed office manager Emily Scott but she has never given him an inkling that she was interested. It takes his cohorts to convince him that her snark is her way of flirting. Running for your lives is probably not the best time to hit on a lady but when has Christian ever do anything the easy way.
This is a high energy, laugh out loud love story that will leave you with a smile and looking forward to the next installment.

Review featured at www.books-n-kisses.com

3.5 Hearts This is the 11th in the series and really you need to read book 10 before reading this one as it starts right where #10 leaves off.

This story is action packed. After 10 other books it is hard to believe that Walker has more in that mind of her and yet she does. She takes us to the edge in this book and it seems like something is always happening.

The characters in this book have so much to their they really are not 1 dimensional. You can really feel the tension and the lust in this story. But be ready to enjoy the adventure because the action is really what keeps this story going.

Heads up: There is a M/M romance in this story. Some may find this is not to their liking but the story is well written.

Disclaimer:
I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Walker does it again! The previous book, Fuel for Fire, took a team to London to scope out Spyder, this thug they've been trying to capture. They had to split into two groups, the first group with Dagan and the second with Christian. This is Christian's story about what happened to him and his reasons for leaving SAS. We take off directly from where they separate but an unknown enemy has located the group and plans his revenge. This is slightly different from the other books in the BKI set in that Emily and Christian already have this wonderful zing and zip to their banter so we can focus on their deep connection. The actual suspenseful action is a small part of this book, whereas the others have a more gun slinging or explosive side to their stories with romance being secondary. It was still an exciting read with great moments of intensity and intimacy. I highly recommend reading the entire series to get the complete picture of the whole team. However each book is a standalone that plays off the others. I love this entire series and was thrilled to get Netgalley copy, my review was written without bias.

Another enjoyable installment in the BKI series. Readers familiar with the series should enjoy Christian and Emily's story though new readers may find the story a bit thin on action.

Another awesome BKI book. I just loved Christian and his sexy English accent. Him and Emily are a hoot and a half together! The euphemisms and banter back and forth was so darn funny. Julie Ann Walker's writing just gets better and better!
Received an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review by NetGalley.

Another great book in this series. Loved Christian & Emily!

For the most part I liked this book - I really liked getting to know Christian and Emily better as well as the small group that was with them in this adventure. I feel like earlier books had a little more depth though. These most recent books feel like a race to get to the point instead of savoring the details along the way. Overall - good story and good characters.

Hot Pursuit is the eleventh book in the Black Knights Inc. series by Julie Ann Walker. Black Knights Inc. is a black ops government organization run from a motorcycle repair shop in Chicago which reports directly to the President. This firm takes on the missions that cannot not or will not be “sanctioned” by the government. The team are all ex-special ops like the CIA, Navy seals, SAS, Mossad etc. This book picks up from Fuel from Fire and has non-stop action and suspense from the get go with some serious sparks flying between the two titular characters.

This book brings to the fore Emily Scott, an ex-CIA operative who now serves as office manager for the Black Knights. She convinces the team to join them on the UK mission in pursuit of Spider. Here she is thrust into very close quarters with Christian while evading two mysterious men who want Christian dead and the sparks start flying so battling her feelings for Christian just might prove impossible.

Christian Watson is a former SAS officer and current BKI operator, who left England after a terrible turn of events in Iraq forced him to abandon his homeland. But now he's back on British soil going after the mysterious Spider where old enemies are determined to complicate matters and kill him.

Together, Christian and Emily along with their team are forced to hunker down in England by the illusive Spider and wait for a chance to return to Chicago, their base of operations. The coming out of Christian's past makes things even more dangerous for the team. Now the heat is on and getting out of England has become a matter of life or death.

The overarching plot involving Spider was turned on its head by new information at the end of the book which promises for some exciting action in the next installment as the hunt for Spider intensifies.

Thanks to Net Galley for the ARC

He is used to living life on the edge, being part of a covert team called the Black Knights, Inc. What Christian hadn’t counted on was having to defend more than just his own life when his past comes back to haunt him on his own home soil.

Emily has vowed to never give her heart away, after all, with a past like hers, she knows it is a losing proposition, but she can’t help her feelings for the wickedly hot Christian, so different from her south Chicago attitude. The man is larger-than-life amazing and he knows what he wants, something he has never dreamed of having and it comes wrapped in the feisty, mouthy package that is Emily Scott.

As their chemistry boils over, hot enough to melt steel, Christian’s past could very well get his team killed, and there is no way anyone will get their hands on Emily, period. As dangerous as those who hunt Christian, Emily becomes like acid burning his very soul, because she just won’t give in and give him anything more than her body.

HOT PURSUIT by Julie Ann Walker is an erotic journey with a side of intrigue and suspense as an unlikely couple play cat and mouse with love.

Christian is “that” hero, hot, alpha and cocksure about life, except when it comes to Emily, but he willing to stick his neck out for something he never thought he could have. Emily is a little harder to know, to like or relate to. On the one hand, she wants what Christian is offering badly, but her denial is as weak as a kitten and her reliance on her past as an excuse, particularly after nearly dying gets a little annoying, I mean really shouldn’t she have realized what a gift life and love are?

Erotic, suspenseful and filled with characters that ooze alpha badassness, Julie Ann Walker certainly cannot be accused of going light on the sensual tension and heated passion!

4.5 HOT stars

This book picks up right after book 10 concludes. It will make much more sense to read this series in order but you could pick this up as a stand alone. If you remember, part of the BKI crew is stranded in England. Christian and Emily have been dancing around each other for some time now. Being in imminent danger once again, causes them to sort out their true feelings.

I really loved the wit and snark that comes from these two. They thrive on driving each other bonkers with that thick underlying s3xual tension. This book is exactly as the title suggests. Not only is the BKI team being pursued as they try to get home to Chicago. But once Christian gets Emily sorted out in his head, he is relentless in his pursuit to make her his.

Lots of action in this one. Lovely little sneak peeks at books I hope are coming. Ace and Rusty PLEASE. And it looks like Angel might get his HEA soon as well. The team is on their very last mission. It will be a sad day when BKI becomes just a bike repair shop. Great series!

I love Christian and Emily!!! They have been sniping at each other for a few books now and their chemistry was explosive! Neither had an easy start in life, but both seem to live life on their own terms and that includes loving each other. While I was happy to have the insight into Ace and Rusty, I think a little too much time was spent on their issues. Now the long wait for the *sniff* *sniff* last book in the series.

ARC For Honest review from Netgally
I Give this book 4 stars

It picked up where the last book left off, but gave the main characters a new storyline. But you also had Ace and Rusty as partial main characters.
Some parts it was hard to tell who the actual main characters of this book, like you had to recheck the back cover to remind yourself this was Christian and Emily's Book.
The ending was really good, well thought out, there was more of a cliffhanger for Angel and left wondering about Ace and Rusty.
All in all it was an enjoyable read.
