Book Review for Hot Pursuit
Having made a memorable splash with her debut novel “Love Under Contract,” Cassie Connor is back with a unique take on a reality TV trope, blending a mix of second chances, enemies-to-lovers, grumpy vs. sunshine, and a dash of suspense!
A connection between strangers unlike any other. Two nights of unbridled passion. The memory burns deep in the recesses of Lydia Smith’s mind until that memory turns into reality when she lays eyes on the one man who has ruined her for any other. Tom Dereborn turned her life upside down, but just as quickly as he swooped in, he was gone. A year had passed with no contact, no reunion, nothing but memories of the best weekend of her life. Now, they are reunited as unexpected colleagues on a work trip, and he pretends not to know her or even acknowledge what they shared. Two can play that game until the stakes change. What should have been a brief encounter on a business trip has turned into a living nightmare. Hoping to save her grandmother’s house, Lydia signs up for the reality show “Fleeing for Your Life.” What she didn’t expect was to see Tom at the tryouts. Worse yet, they somehow end up partnered together. Trapped with her newfound nemesis, Lydia must decide what’s worse: not winning and watching her grandmother’s house fall into further disrepair, or being stuck with the last person on earth she wants near her heart ever again!
The book finishes strong with action-packed final chapters. Once we finally understood Lydia and Tom, were back on the road, and moving towards the conclusion of the reality show, everything just slid into place perfectly. The need to know what happened next and how it would all end made it hard to put the book down.
Thank you NetGalley and One More Chapter Books for allowing me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
