BOOK REVIEW- HOT PURSUIT (The Pursuits of Sarah Burrowes) by Rebecca Freeborn


Hot Pursuit (The Pursuits of Sarah Burrowes) by [Freeborn, Rebecca]
A missing rockstar, a suspected murderer on the run, and a chase through some of the world’s most romantic destinations

Sarah Burrowes is left with a shattered heart and a huge mortgage after the love of her life abruptly runs out on her.

An aspiring journalist, Sarah spends her days slaving away at a gossip magazine—far from her dream job. 

Heartbroken and fed up, Sarah decides to take her career by the reins and lands herself the assignment of a lifetime in Europe. But there’s a catch—her boss pairs her with gorgeous but egocentric photographer, Nick, who just happens to be her ex’s best friend.

But when Sarah’s assignment takes a darker turn, she discovers there’s more to this story than meets the eye. Is she ready to risk everything to get the scoop?   AMAZON 3.5 STARS



Sarah was a different kind of character.  Sometimes I liked her and at others, she made me shake my head.  If you looked up the word, "Stupid" in the dictionary I think her name and picture would be under it.   But to give her a fair shake, she was also tenacious, brave, loyal and unrelenting.  
At, first I wasn't sure about what to make about Nick.  So many times he was so critical and rude to Sarah.  But as time went on I began to think that just might have been a defense mechanism against Sarah.  He WAS there for her when she needed help.  Things are not totally settled between the two of them.  The attraction is still there.   
Now James is another story. Her on and off boyfriend was something else.  He just needed to grow up and stop running away every time some hiccup happened in his life.  He was pretty steady until a problem cropped up and then not only couldn't she find him, he wouldn't even talk to her.  He wouldn't even talk to Nick, someone who had been his friend for years.  I didn't like how he treated Sarah and hoped against hope that she would ditch him for a change.  Permanently. 
There is plenty of action, mysteries and flat out dangers in this story.
With more action and unexpected turns towards the end.  That was really well done.  When things start to unravel for the bad guys, it ends up revealing even more that was on the end of that thread.  
Just on a side note, I liked the eBook cover that came with my copy better than the one I see they used for the paperback on Amazon.  This one really popped!

I received an Advanced Readers Copy of this book via Netgalley and this is my honest opinion of it.
