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.

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.

Hot Pursuit centers on Sarah, a 30-year-old beauty therapist, whose boyfriend of two years suddenly bailed on her leaving her with the mortgage on their house. At Women's Choice, where she works, she wants more responsibilities but her boss has refused to give her more than her weekly beauty column. Besides, Sarah knows nothing about celebrities.

Following a tip-off from a friend at Law Enforcement, Sarah's boss, Katrina asks her to look for journalists who would be willing to travel to Europe to cover a celebrity scandal. A musician is on the run after his band member is found dead. Turns out the celebrity in question is the same guy she met at a bar the weekend before. Desperate for this job and hopefully a career boost, she persuades her boss to let her do the story. Her boss finally gives in and sends her to Europe with Nick, her colleague and the magazine's photographer.

We follow Sarah on her journey to Europe as they travel from Barcelona to Paris and Amsterdam following leads, their encounter with shady people, and even losing her personal effects—passport and laptop—following a hit-and-run.

Hot Pursuit is an entertaining novel, filled with interesting and quirky characters and an interesting storyline. Sarah as the main character was well developed and relatable. Nick was just plain annoying but I warmed up to him as the book progressed. Overall a good read, and I highly recommend.

I received this book from NetGalley and Pantera Press in exchange for an honest review.

This book is an easy to read rom com, some of the story was a little far fetched but an easy summer read while sat by the pool.

I read Hot Pursuit by Rebecca Freedom courtesy of NetGalley. I struggled for the most part with this book particularly with the main character Sarah who is an ex-beautician working in a lowly position in a celebrity magazine with aspirations to be a journalist but who somehow knows nothing of the celebrity world - her personal life is not going well either. I thought her character in particular aggravating and too over the top. For me the storylines throughout were a tad unbelievable and improbable. Fell short of my hopes and expectations I'm sorry to say.

If you’re looking for that perfect summer holiday getaway read I can highly recommend Rebecca Freeborn’s Hot Pursuit.
A book spanning different countries, a race against time to crack the truth of a missing (presumed dead) Indy band member, a heart broken girl and her former one night stand photographer working together on her first case as a journalist – what could possibly go wrong?
Sarah Burrowes is a kick ass chick who comes across as a determined, fearless woman who isn’t afraid of working to get what she wants. She want take rubbish from her womanising photographer, and gives as good as she gets from those trying to stop her from getting to the truth of her case. She is the perfect lead female character for this story and you’ll love her from the first page to the last.
The story is fast paced with many twists and turns right until the end – but Sarah is always at the very heart of the novel and we are reminded throughout of her vulnerability as well with the involvement of her now ex-boyfriend James.
The banter between Sarah and her photographer Nick is funny and also a wonderful look at the dynamic the 2 of them have – I couldn’t wait to see what would happen there.
Honestly grab this book now for your holiday bag, you won’t be disappointed.

Loved the intricated story that is solved throughout the book. I start the book waiting for her to end with the rockstar, so I’m waiting for a common sweet kind of story. So for much of my surprise in the second and third chapters I’m hooked on the story and it’s nothing of what I was expecting. It’s a surprisingly a great story with a good criminal mystery involved that doesn’t get solved until the very end. Nonetheless, it also has the main character love life exposed and her doubts about with who should she be. I loved the story and recommend it to everyone who likes a bit of mystery and romance. I would have liked an end with a few more pages to be able to see more into the future of the character but loved it anyway.
