This was a thoroughly enjoyable read. lots of action, romance, humour and a great conclusion. the characters were really good and easy to relate to and the descriptive storyline made everything come to life. Great read.

Well written, but as the book unfolded I found it difficult to be sympathetic to the main character. I did finish the book, and overall enjoyed it.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was ok. It started off well and I felt sorry for the main character, but after a while, she just became really, really irritating. I also found her need to find excuses for her runaway boyfriend became a little too much.

Overall, an ok read.

Not a main character that I seemed to gel with.. maybe it was timing in my part. I thought the book was ok, I read it fairly quickly. I did enjoy the armchair travelling I got to do!

I’d possibly have to give it another try at some point.

Full review to come.
I deeply apologize, but life is a handful lately and I'm using all my free time to read, not review. I hope everybody understands.

Provided by NetGalley for an honest review.

This was... ok. It started off well and I felt sorry for the main character, but after a while, she just became really, really irritating. And her relationship with the photographer was irritating as well. The back and forth could’ve been good, but it was juvenile.

I also found her need to find excuses for her runaway boyfriend became a little too much. What ever his reasons, he still abandoned her and then tried to get back into her life..

Overall, an ok read, but not one I’ll be writing home about.

This tells the story of Sarah, an ambitious journalist. A huge story unexpectedly lands up in Sarah's lap. She goes off to Europe on an exciting assignment, to finally prove herself. One catch is the photographer is Nick, who goes on the assignment with her, is a former one night stand. Sarah has never forgotten what happened with Nick. Sarah's boyfriend has just disappeared without any word leaving her heartbroken and with a mortgage to pay. Nick also happens to be the boyfriends best friend. As Sarah delves deeper into the assignment, she realizes there is a lot more to the story than meets the eye.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved the characters. It was more than just a simple love story. There is all the uncovering the truth behind a famous singer's disappearance, which keeps you guessing. I didn't want this to end. Loved it!

I both liked and disliked Hot Pursuit. It drew me in with the story of the missing rockstar and the playboy photographer being on the scene but my issue was Sarah, the main character. I simply didn’t gel with her, I found her annoying and not in a ‘must keep reading’ way. She didn’t seem like a fully developed character, she lacked personality and likeability. It was the mystery of the story and Nick’s character they kept me reading to the end.

It was a fun story but I struggled with not liking the main character.

Hot pursuit indeed! This story was such a <i> wild </i> ride? I mean, with everything going on in Sarah's life and to top it, her random pursuit of a Scottish band singer - for gossip mainly - turns into something bigger and she gets embroiled into a mafious drug trafficking type of thing, so many locations, weird ass characters. It was <i> crazy </i> to say the least.

When it started off I had thought it was going to be a very cliche story, then it felt like it was going to be different and then it ended up being a super-mish-mash of snippets of cliches and... I really do not know how I feel about it?? I really liked it in some places, it could be funny and fun and interesting and relatable. But in other places it was also quite OTT or meh, so now I feel so divided on my feelings about this book.

I am no longer interested in reading this book. I find my reading tastes are changing and I'm therefore becoming pickier about the titles I pick up.

Thank you for providing me with a copy

At last a book with a strong female lead that doesn’t need rescuing. I loved this book and the writing style was brilliant.

Sarah goes in search of a story to get her job as a journalist instead of writing the beauty pages, but is teamed with Nick the sleazy photographer, spanning across Europe on the hunt for a missing rock star and to bust a drug cartel, I could smell and picture the cities so well.

A great book with plenty of twists.

The solving of a mystery in various European cities made this book more interesting than a lot of chick lit. However, I found the main character quite annoying, and her increasingly stupid decisions in ever-escalating ridiculous situations made me cringe. Not to mention the incredibly predictable romantic aspect.

This is a pleasant enough holiday read. The main character is unbelievably naïve and the decisions she makes along the way border on ridiculous. However, the story moves at pace with an interesting backdrop of European cities. The ending is interesting, perhaps setting up for a sequel/series??

A light easy read, perfect for the beach! The characters are likeable and the plot flows well. I would recommend this as a holiday read to any chick lit fans

This was probably more like 3.5 stars but it was an enjoyable enough way to while away a few hours. I enjoyed the chemistry between Sarah and Nick most of all and would have liked some closure on what happened when they got back to Australia. My biggest bugbear with the book was the idiotic decisions Sarah kept making without any real consequences it was just unrealistic. That being said I enjoyed the book enough to read more from this author in the future. Thanks to Netgalley, Pantera Press and the author for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

I was given a copy of this book by the publisher for an honest review. The story is about Sarah who is a journalist, she has just broken up with her boyfriend, she manages to persuade her boss to send her a trip to pursue a rock star who is on the run. With her is Nick the photographer, the have a 'Past' together. The story begins in Australia but goes across Europe. The bok is an easy read, in parts it is a little far fetched but still and enjoyable read.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this book for review consideration. Unfortunately I found that it wasn't for me and as such I won't be formally reviewing it.

This is an average rom-com. The main character, Sarah, isn't particularly likeable and I found myself constantly irritated by her annoying decisions.
It was a real struggle to finish this book and I only continued as Netgalley had provided me with a free copy.
