In Pursuit was a nice read. I liked the spirit of the story: a girl looking to make a change in her life by being adventurous and moving miles away from her familiar world. But being in a new state and trusting new people is not easy for Eddie but she pushes herself to try and adapt. Unfortunately, it is trusting her new roommate and getting involved with her enigmatic brother that get her into a turmoil she can't seem to understand and/or scape.This story had some mystery to it that I liked. The characters were not easy to decipher and secrets unfolded slowly keeping the story somewhat interesting. I did like and thought the author did a nice job in describing and making the hero desirable. I was right there sighing with Eddie over Harris and wondering what his secrets were.❤️However, I wish I have liked the story more but I just didn't connect with the characters and their love story. For me the romance between Eddie and Harris took too long to develop and when it finally happened I wished it was more elaborated because it felt rushed. It was like things between them went from long freezing to hot too quickly that I couldn't see and appreciate their falling for each other. I just love the details and the journey of how characters start to feel for each other and falling in love in a story and that was what I felt was missing here for me. :-/Regardless, overall I think this story has potential to engage readers more in the sequel, Of Happiness, as Harris has to prove himself to Eddie, truths and secrets have to be revealed, and ultimate choices have to be made. And if the mystery continues and the romance it's elevated, the next book could be more than a great read. :)
