REVIEW ➞ Pursue Me by Claire Raye

BLURB ➞

Pursue Me is book one in Josh and Charlie’s duet and book seven in the Hawthorn Hills Duet Series. A two-part, angst-filled, heartbreaking love story. Pursue Me must be read before Protect Me in order to enjoy the full story.

Life at its best is the pursuit.

Josh Cooper is just a fling and she’s determined to keep it that way. She has too much at stake to fall for him.

Charlie McCall is the beautiful blonde he met on his trip to the States and he’s desperate to win her over. But he’s failing miserably.

Unable to stay away from each other, they finally give into the idea of a relationship and of what it could become for both of them.

But the pursuit may be the only thing that’s keeping them together.

The Hawthorn Hills Duet Series follows eight couples. Each two-book duet must be read in order to enjoy the couple’s full story, but the series can be read in any order. You’ll find angst-filled, slow-burn, epic love stories along with topical storylines and some amazingly real and raw characters.


Ugh, I hate his stupid ass and all his charm. He’s literally the definition of the perfect guy and he’s fucking with my game.


ARC REVIEW ➞

I LOVED every single thing about this book. The moment it showed up on my kindle I started reading and couldn’t put it down. I got completely sucked into Josh and Charlie’s universe and I don’t think I am okay after finishing this. Asking for a friend, but can I have Josh for a birthday surprise, too!?

Josh. He is hilarious, sweet, kind and swoony. He quickly became one of my favorite CR men EVER. Plus, he is a man of many talents. He is a character that you can instantly fall in love with and is so charismatic. I love how he is with Charlie, too. He sure knows how to woo a woman. Charlie, I love the woman, too. There is so much to her and so much that is still unknown about her. She has secrets and a big one. She is sweet, caring and much more guarded when it comes to relationships than Josh is.

The chemistry between Josh and Charlie is instant and off the charts from the very first moment they meet. I loved seeing their connection grow and develop throughout the course of this book. I love the little things to do for each other, the secrets they shared and Charlie hands down does one of the sweetest things for Josh and I was dying. I couldn’t get enough of these two and I absolutely love them as individuals and as a couple.

I am not okay after finishing this book though. That ending had me on the edge of my seat and dying. There may have been some shouting and frantically tapping my kindle hoping that truly wasn’t where things would end. BUT I am anxiously awaiting book two and can’t wait to see what is coming up for Josh and Charlie.

If you are looking for an angsty, sweet, heartbreaking, emotional romance this is definitely one to read!
