This is a steamy, stand-alone, HEA romantic suspense romance. 3.5 Heart Review by Ashley I am always looking for new to me authors that write romantic suspense and Danielle Pays fit that bill. While Pursued is the second book in this series it can be read as a total standalone (like it was for me). Ryan and Katie's story was more than rich playboy falls for the good girl. There was a depth to these characters. They had both lived through a lot, survived a lot, and found a way to get by. But something was missing. That something was the other. Sparks flew the first time they met. Although that night ended poorly, they couldn't stop thinking about each other. So Ryan did something about it. They spent a lot of time together working on a major project. But there was no funny business. Katie wouldn't have it. I liked that she didn't back down to Ryan like everyone else did. He liked it too. But there were some people who didn't. The sexual chemistry was off the charts and the anticipation was high. And just as they were about to be free to be together, things went off the rails. The final third of Pursued was wild. There was so much going on. Katie was in the middle of a twisted scheme that involved the FBI and a Senator. And when it was revealed how Ryan was tied to it all, my jaw was on the floor. I feel like there is some unfinished business with these characters and my fingers are crossed that Danielle Pays will tie it all up in future books of this series.
