Eddie Neff leaves her old life behind to start a new one in Chicago. She ends up rooming with the rich socialite, Claire Grant. This new life of hers goes in a direction that she never imagined. Claire's brother, Harris is mysterious, brooding, and HOT. You feel the instant attraction he has to Eddie, but he tries to fight it. He has a heightened sense of responsibility to Claire, and his want or need for Eddie is in the way. Eventually, Harris can no longer harbor his feelings the more he gets to know Eddie.“Because holding you settles my chaos.”Eddie is a heroine that I really liked. While she has been through a lot in her past, she is strong and independent. She makes the move to another city and establishes her self professionally. She has a fighting spirit about her. Harris. Sigh. Where do I begin? He demands attention when he walks into a room. He's assertive and  dominant in everything he does. Yet, he has a soft vulnerable side to him that we eventually get to see a glimpse of. Something tells me that we are going to get to see more into his beautiful soul. He is in unimaginable pain. You feel his pain as you read this story. You also feel his need and want to care about someone and to have someone care about him. It's like he's been afraid of feeling again, but Eddie breaks down that barrier and allows him to feel again."Because you've shown me that there's a woman out there who can being me to my knees..."The author was able to successfully mix romance in with mystery. It allowed me as the reader, to keep thinking of what would happen next, and I was surprised at the twists and turns in the story. I found that it was a beautiful debut. It was well-written and I look forward to more of this authors work.In Pursuit is one of those books that you instantly fall in love with. I found myself, laughing out loud, yelling at the characters, and swooning over Harris. I loved the flow of the story. It kept me engaged and I found it hard to put down. The characters are unique and likable. I absolutely cannot wait until the next installment of this series is released.
