⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Yes. Scandalous secrets, rampaging bears, and the ever-growing passion between Tristan and Carys all make this a book I couldn’t put down.

BLURB

Carys Davies revels in her ability to shock society with her outrageous dresses and audacious behaviour. It is all, of course, meant to confound her blackmailer and to protect her heart. If it also happens to tease the one man she has always wanted, Tristan Montgomery, then that is just a bonus.

Tristan has spent an enormous amount of energy trying to ignore Carys. There is the on-going feud between their families and the fact that he needs a respectable bride. But pretty soon Tristan finds himself embroiled in Carys’s secret, saving bears, and giving her lessons in desire.

MY THOUGHTS

One aspect I always enjoy the most about Kate Bateman’s books is the humorous banter between the characters. And it definitely continues in A Daring Pursuit. Tristan and Carys share barbs as easily as heated glances. And as usual, there is plenty of crazy action to keep things interesting. Carys and Tristan both just tackled everything head on. Sort of a “do it now and deal with the consequences later”. They were a lot of fun.

I can definitely recommend this if you like historical romance with some suspense and lots of heat. It stands well on its own, but I think it’s worthwhile to read the first book in the series, A Reckless Match, first.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
