this was a good one from the start. must read and really enjoyed this from page one. I am loving this author more and more. Every book does it for me.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of "Partner Pursuit." All opinions are my own.

I like the opposites attract thing, but I definitely cant relate to the workaholic aspects of the main character. I appreciate the love interest being hesitant of that.

I’m not sure how I feel about this one still. I liked it while I was reading it but I found it very forgettable. I did really like the characters and the story line.

This is an old-school rom-com! If this book was a movie, JLo or Reese Witherspoon would play the female lead, with Matthew McConaughey as the love interest.

This is very straightforward, Audrey wants to be made partner at a law firm, and works way too much. Jake has a good job in the music industry and shows her how life can be if you have a little work life balance.

Now, they don’t move to a Christmas tree farm in the end to save a small town from bankruptcy by winning a winter bake sale, but Audrey does start to reevaluate her priorities.

Overall, I enjoyed this! It was very basic rom-com style. Jake has some Daddy issues and Audrey has some mom issues, but it really doesn’t get too deep.

This would be a great summer beach read if you wanted to pick it up.

Thank you @netgalley for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

This has been on my NetGalley shelf for over a year, and I still haven’t picked it up. I've tried, but it just isn't for me (right now). I hope other people enjoy it more than I did.

In this engaging tale set in the bustling city, Audrey, a dedicated lawyer, faces a crucial decision: pursue a promotion or embrace a newfound romance with her caring neighbor, Jake.

While the premise captivated me, the book felt excessively long, overshadowing the desired focus on romance. The characters lacked depth, with an unconvincing love triangle. The dialogue and chemistry fell flat, impeding emotional connection.

The author's extensive exploration of Audrey's legal profession left non-lawyers confused. However, the realistic portrayal of work-life balance and Audrey's independent spirit were commendable, illustrating her determination to achieve success autonomously.

I really enjoyed this book! I read it in one sitting. I could relate the the MC how she worked so much, it ruined a relationship and friends. I would definitely recommend this book.

A romance with a compelling and empowering Women's Fiction with a Rom Com vibe. I loved the characters who kept me guessing as to what would happen with them.

This book is really fun. Audrey is a workaholic lawyer and is set to be made partner soon in her big firm. Then she meets Jake who is all about enjoying life and they fall in love. This is a humorous, feel good romance.

I really enjoyed this one. it isn't my favorite but I really loved the twist and the male mc. I couldn't done without our heroine but I usually don't like the female mc.

DNF.
The book had a lot of potential, but I found it hard to stay connected to the book. The main character had a job that was inspiring to learn about, but I found it boring to keep reading about.

I just realized that while I shared my review on Amazon, I didn't share the feedback here--I was new to Netgalley! Sorry about that. =) Loved the book.

Here's what I posted online,

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this--great for fans of Suits or Ally McBeal

I really enjoyed this book. I have always been fascinated with legal dramas and loved the humor, romance and legal mix of Ally McBeal and Suits and that's what this book reminded me of. The humor is really a small part. There's a lot of depth to this story and I felt like I was right there as a fly on the wall for the inner-workings of a law firm and the office politics that go along with trying to make partner and trying to balance having a love life--or a life, period. I look forward to reading more from this author.

This one was a lovely read. I really enjoyed reading this one. I just love this kind of books.
4 stars read for me

Thanks to NetGalley, Strawbundle Publishing, and Kathy Strobos for this read in exchange for a review.

I am torn about this book. Sixty chapters is a lot. I did enjoy the book for the most part though I will be honest and say that I skipped over a lot of the chapters with her at work. I am all about a strong, independent woman but she got stepped on so much in the beginning and it drove me crazy.

I really loved Jake and Audrey. They were super cute together. I totally understand his hesitation to want to date her when he has dealt with a workaholic parent. I do like that she worked hard to keep her relationship afloat.

I disliked that she had to apologize for everything she was doing in life. It always seems to be that way.

I really liked the book and cannot wait to read the others in the series.

This is a quick read and a great book about learning how to juggle a personal life with a job, and still try to keep your sanity.

This was so fun! I loved the serious/feminist/Women's Power angle mixed with a little bit of spicy rom com.


I received an advance copy. All thoughts are my own.

Super fast paced book, loved the characters and it was loads of fun reading it. The cover was super cute and I love the colours of it. The cover drew me in as I have never heard of this book. It made me super intrigued and I’m so glad I gave it a chance.
My favorite part of this book was how Audrey was a strong female lead and a workaholic. Her character shows that you can have a successful career and still find love. You don’t need to sacrifice one for the other.

Audrey, a corporate lawyer, is up for partnership with her firm in just 6 months time. Despite feeling the exhaustion and loneliness that comes with with working all hours of the day every day of the week, Audrey has her eyes on the prize and just doesn’t have time to date. That is, until Jake moves in next door. Can Audrey find a way to have it all?

This book is such a lovely blend of romance and empowering women’s fiction. First of all, I have such a keen interest in law and I LOVE books that are about lawyers/include all things law. This was a romance novel about a lawyer and followed her everyday life at work, examined her evidence, strategies and cases both in and out of court, along with her budding romance with her new next door neighbour Jake. A winner for me 💯

I just absolutely adored Audrey and Jake, they were so damn cute! Their characters felt so real and I was rooting for them all the way, Kathy did an amazing job at bringing them to life. I did enjoy reading some of Audrey’s disaster dating stories which really made me LOL, oh so relatable! Although I was super interested in the law side of things, I would have liked a more 50/50 split of Audrey’s work like and Audrey & Jake, because they absolutely stole my heart ❤️

Partner Pursuit, such an apt title as Audrey pursues partnership within her law firm and a partner to share her life with, left me with such a warm & fuzzy feeling just as the author had hoped in her author note 🖤

A big thank you to @netgalley for the #gifted ebook in exchange for an honest review, I really loved this one and I’m so excited to read more of this authors work 💫

Thank you Netgalley and the Publisher for my ARC in exchange for my honest review. This was an enjoyable book.

I really enjoyed this book, but it wasn’t very memorable. Just a nice binge read! I love the opposites attract trope, and I also love neighbor romances, so this was right up my alley!
