What better way to get over the trauma of your life than to jet off to Europe to track down a missing rock star?! Humour, romance, and great locations combine for a fabulous escapist afternoon. Grab your glass and settle in for the ride

It looks like I may have enjoyed Hot Pursuit by Rebecca Freeborn more than most, and while I didn't like Sarah all that much, I loved the action and adventure this book provided. We went all over the place including Paris, Venice, and Rome and I thought the author did a great job of describing the surroundings in a way that made it feel like I was part of the story myself. I definitely thought this was going to be almost completely romance, but I got a heck of a lot more than I bargained for! The last half of the book was action-packed, but there wasn't really a dull moment either. Sarah goes deep on the hunt for a missing rockstar and ends up in the middle of much more than that. You will have to suspend disbelief for basically the entire book because there is no way she wouldn't have gotten killed had this been real.

I was disappointed that there wasn't an audiobook for this debut novel, but if I would have had the time, I could have easily finished it in a couple of days. It is apparently over 400 pages, but it really didn't feel like that to me when I was reading it. I sped through the last 30% of the book because I couldn’t wait to see how it would play out, and I ended up loving the way it ended. I think the biggest issue a reader would have with Hot Pursuit is the fact that Sarah is a complete idiot. She is holding onto a crappy ex, making extremely stupid mistakes, and doing things no one in their right mind would do, journalist or not. She did frustrate me at times, but I still really enjoyed the story, so if you are able to get through that and understand this book is in no way plausible, I think you will be able to enjoy it just as much as I did.

Sarah Burrowes is having a rough time. Her partner has left her with a mortgage she can’t pay and a broken heart. She is currently working as a columnist for Womens Choice writing a beauty column. When the opportunity of a lifetime comes up to go abroad as an investigative journalist she lies to her boss so that she can go. She jets off to Europe and is sent with her one night stand and also ex’e best friend Nick the Photographer who she becomes closer to. As the assignment takes a far darker turn than ever expected she wonders if she will be able to go home alive let alone make the scoop.
I enjoyed this book although it took me a while to get into it. It kept me guessing all the time and unusually for me I didn’t figure out the ending before I got to the end. I highly recommend this book.
Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

Apologies for the delay in reviewing .A book that held my interest from start to finish. Well written and with some unexpected twists and turns

Unfortunately this book was not for me, it was a bit slower than I would like and it just didn't hold my attention. I am sure other people will love it!

This book was fine, a good escapist beach read. Personally I found the main protagonist to be a bit silly, not learning from her mistakes and getting herself into trouble unnecessarily. But hey, that is what makes the book, I guess. The writing was good, the love interest predictable, and the settings interesting. But for me, it did not have that wow factor.

This book is a lighthearted read that is perfect to take on holiday. The story follows Sarah, beauty writer who’s managed to blag herself into an investigative journalist role which takes her from Melbourne on an extended trip of Europe tracking a former almost one night stand. Unfortunately she’s just been dumped and her photographer for the job is her ex’s bff and former one night stand Nick.

Whilst I liked Sarah as a character I wasn’t to big a fan of Nick in the first half of the book as he just seemed a bit mean. However I really liked the character evolution and the banter that grows between the two. It’s definitely more than a typical chicklit tale and by the end I wanted to read more from this new crime fighting duo! Whilst the book is not one for anyone wanting realistic storylines, if you can look past the slightly unrealistic plot it’s an enjoyable read.

A well written novel but I just didn't like the main character so struggled to get into the book. The plot was interesting

An enjoyable book to read. Nice characters and a storyline that while at times seemed so ridiculous, was enjoyable to read.

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this book

captivating read which i was very surprised at but on the whole a good read

I love reading books with international travel. You just can’t go wrong. Unfortunately, this book did. I didn’t enjoy this read and it was a struggle to finish. I didn’t enjoy the characters or the writing. This book has been on my TBR for a while, and it unfortunately was quite a let down.

I really enjoyed this book and would read more from this author. May have been first but won't he the last.

I was not expecting the story to turn out the way it did. I was expecting romance and mystery. It was kind of a hot mess.

A light, easy summer read, fast moving, fun, a bit whimsical. An enjoyable book to read on holiday. A bit of light relief during dark times

I thought this book was ok. Got a little far fetched with her getting too involved with the investigation. I skim read some of it but read it all. Was surprised who the ring leader was.

Thanks to Netgalley for the copy of Hot Pursuit.

I wasn't sure whether I would enjoy this book but I'm glad I gave it a go. It was a really different take on the usual chick lit genre and the mystery aspect of it made it hard to put down.

I enjoyed the fact that there weren't lots of irrelevant plotlines and that the romance wasn't the main aspect of the story. The developing 'murder mystery' and chase across Europe left me guessing right up until then end.

What a brilliantly funny, light hearted read. Hot Pursuit has all the makings of a hot summer hit that entertains the reader throughout. I flipping well loved it.

Worth a read a nice book . Would buy for a friend or family member . Would recommend this book to all.

A missing rockstar, a suspected murderer on the run, and a chase through some of the world’s most romantic destinations

Sarah Burrowes is left with a shattered heart and a huge mortgage after the love of her life abruptly runs out on her.
A great romantic mystery, easy to read and enjoyable
