An easy, light hearted read. When life hurtles dramatically out of control Sarah needs to take drastic action. I didn't warm particularly to our protagonist, Sarah, although as the book went on this did change a little. Situations and events are both unlikely and bizarre by turn, although, after all, this is fiction. Overall light enjoyable holiday reading.

Excellent romp across Europe. Love, detective work, mysteries it's all here! Thoroughly enjoyed this!

I wasn't sure if I was going to like this book inititally but I'm really glad I carried on with it. The plot is a murder mystery but the cover is more chick lit/rom com so I was curious as to whether the two could meet in the middle and they definitely did. It's not a thriller as it's a much lighter read than that that, despite Sarah's pursuit of a murder suspect being the main gist of the story. I would describe it as a rom com with a slightly darker tone and a fairly unbelievable plot at times but that added to the comedy part of the rom com factors. I enjoyed this book and found it a great, light hearted read with a bit of mystery.

This was a lighthearted fun read! There were a few times where I could see what was coming, but still the book kept me hooked from page 1 until the end.

I wasn't sure at first if I was going to like this book, it is a pretty far fetched storyline and the characters did not seem particularly likeable.As Sarah and Nick move around Europe's capitals, however,you do find yourself enjoying their characters and the unfolding of the plot. I would read another book with them in.
An undemanding, summer read.

A very enjoyable read. To use an old adage ' a gripping yarn'. Has a few twists but nothing seismic. I had just finished reading the third Hercules Poirot book from Sophie Hannah which was very slow, detailed and intense (but excellent). This book by Rebecca was the ideal follow up - very different as it had lots of action, travel in Europe and some romance. I think I will realise how much I enjoyed the book as time marches by but I would definitely read a second book with Sarah and Nick from Rebecca. I can't say I was able to get into the main characters but this did not prevent me from reading and reading.

Really sorry have persevered with this but find it so unlikely that had to give up 2/3rd way through.
Struggled caring about main characters or believe in much of the action
Maybe just wasn't for me

Ms Freeborn writes a fabulous hybrid of rom-com-thriller-murder mystery in her 'Hot Pursuit'.
We follow the cute, totally clueless and hopelessly in love with her ex beauty girl Sarah and the swooooooooon Nick in their hot pursuit of their 'big story' the missing musician and the murderer through the picturesque Europe!

I can totally see this on the big screen (even have my own star cast and everything)
Loved the banter between Sarah and Nick... andthe delightful supporting characters added to their story.

Chris Ford and the *spoiler* staemy first scene deserves a special mention IMO ;D
The cover totally satiates the cover junkie in me!
4 stars!

I liked this one in the end, even though I had a hard time getting through the first couple of chapters.
I didn't like Sarah in those chapters, very whiny and incredibly naive. The story line seems a bit far fetched, and even though there are a lot of cities that are part of the story, they do not add to the story. Could have been a 'Hot Pursuit' all the way through Australia...
Have to say that once the story got to Paris, I had warmed up to Sarah and enjoyed her interactions with Nick. And had a bit more trouble putting the book down. From Paris on, this book has a better pace and was far more enjoyable to read. Would recommend this for a quick summer read.

Sarah’s boyfriend has disappeared and left her paying the bills. She’s sick of writing puff pieces for the magazine she works for. One night she meets a man everyone else recognised but she’s none the wiser. Little does she know this meeting will be the springboard into a chase across Europe with her previous one night stand.

My opinion of this book changed whilst I was reading it. Initially I thought it was slow and didn’t really have a direction however the last third of the book made me realise this was a clever layering of plot lines which made the ending very exciting. Overall it was good. Some of the stories lines feel quite superfluous however for a quick read this summer it’s worth a go.

Not sure if this was meant to be a comedy but it made me laugh all the way through. I loved the relationship between Sarah and Nick. The story was very far fetched but enjoyable

Wow! I cannot believe this is a debut book, it was such an enjoyable read. From the beginning I loved Sarah, and I can see how Rebecca has to tell herself she's not real. I love good chick-lit and crime books, this one was a fusion of both. It made me laugh, smile, and I loved the adventure, and I didn't guest the twist at the end.. The dialogue between Nick and Sarah was brilliant, I felt like I was living through the ride with them. I cannot wait for the next book, and I hope it involves Sarah. I'm finding it hard to write this review, as I don't want to give a single thing away. All I will say to conclude is, thank you, this is a fantastic read, and I couldn't put it down.

Meet Chris Ford, rockstar;Sarah, the would be serious journalist;Nick, the professional photographer. Mix in a drugs cartel, romance , a descriptive journey around Europe and you have a rom/com thriller to keep you entertained over the summer.
Sarah is a feisty character who comes to realise that actually, the "I can" attitude not only works in her professional life but in her love life too.
An entertaining tale with some far fetched unbelievable twists but worth reading.

What a faced fast book, loved it. After her boyfriend walks out on her leaving her with a huge mortgage she is on a night out with the girls when she meets Chris a famous popstar only she doesn't know who he is. They go to his hotel room and when he recieves a phone call and makes a fast exit. She soon finds out that he is wanted for the murder of one his band members and has gone on the run. She goes looking for him along with a photographer called Nick who she hates to get his side of the story. She soon finds out that there is much more to this when drugs and drug dealers are added to the mix.
I found I just couldn't put this down and loved the romance thrown in. I will be looking out for more books from this author.

if I like the first chapter of a book I know I am going to,enjoy it. Once I started reading this book I loved it and just wanted to carry on reading. OK it was a bit far fetched in places but it was an enjoyable, fun read and I will certainly look for more books by Rebecca.

The main character is an Australian wanna be journalist called Sarah who uses devious means to,get her boss to agree to give her an assignment. The photographer she has to work with is Nick, her ex boyfriends best friend and someone she once had a one night stand with. The story Sarah is sent to get involves a musician called Chris who disappears after being told his friend and band member, Angus, has died.

I enjoyed how The story moved through different countries and the interaction between Sarah and Nick. There were a few laughs, a bit of romance, some travel and a drug cartel. Mix it all up and you have one very enjoyable book to pack in your suitcase

A light and easy holiday read. The plot isn't bad even if rather far fetched but it was far too rushed jumping here and there between touristy bits, food and drink plus chasing criminals and saving people. Not sure how it all fitted in! There is the obligatory love interest with three men on the cards but it's fairly obvious which one Sarah will end up with despite her total disregard of him to start with. I'm afraid I didn't take to the main character, Sarah, at all. She was totally annoying to me, her naivety plus total lack of any kind of common sense and a good sprinkling of just not thinking before she acted/spoke about other people. I felt I just wanted to scream at her but that was probably just me. One thing I did like, was the fact the characters all had normal names, how refreshing to get Sarah, Nick, James, Chris, Kate etc rather than a lot of pretentious ones.

I was expecting a rom com/chicklit or whatever we call it these days, but what I got was a fabulous romp through Europe in this story of Aussie journalist Sarah and her mission to get her first ever scoop.

Sarah has managed to blag her boss into letting her travel to Europe on the tail of rock star Chris Ford who has gone missing after the murder of his band mate Angus.

Sarah brings her own baggage into this mix as she is getting over being dumped by her boyfriend, James. However, taking off to Europe with her photographer in tow, who also happens to be James' best mate and a previous one night stand might not have been her greatest idea!

Thrown in rock stars, drug cartels, rival journalists and bad boy photographers then you have a fab mix, just add the calamity that follows Sarah around and you have a great read - but will Sarah get her scoop?

Sarah wasn't just a girl with a broken heart who needed rescuing, she rescued herself - and a few others along the way!

Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to review this book - this is my honest.opinion.

I really enjoyed this book. It had a chase across countries, a love element, humour and a good plot.
Definitely worth a read and would be a good holiday book!

An enjoyable, easy to read book. Some of the plot was a bit too far fetched for me, but it was a fun, quick read with a nice mix of romance, humour and mystery. An ideal book to while away a few hours with.

Thanks to NetGalley for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book is one of those that when started is hard to put down. An unlikely tale of a would be journalist and her photographer ex. Pure escapism. A lively read.
