Summary: Are we sure Ms. Lindsey is writing her own books?
Review: I am a huge Lindsey fan (own every book she has ever written), but what has happened with her most recent novels? From Captive Bride to All I Need is You, I have never been disappointed with a Lindsey novel, but only recently have her novels lacked the passion and excitement that the previous books held. The lack of tension and chemistry is missing. The Pursuit is no different. I enjoyed the prequels Love Me Forever and Man of My Dreams and was hoping for the same excitement and passion in this book. I liked the characters of Melissa and Lincoln and enjoyed learning what happened with Kimberly/Lachlan and Megan/Delvin, but the build up of tension and passion wasn't there. The sixteen brothers, Kimberly, and Lachlan appeared too much in the book to give the young characters time to develop. Writing is extremely hard work and it takes considerable time and detail to make unforgettable characters that flow throughout the plot. Ms. Lindsey has done it before - the Mallory series, Angel, Once A Princess, etc. When will we be able to see (and read)that old Lindsey magic?

Summary: The Pursuit
Review: This isn't the worst book I've ever read, but it is overly simplistic to be a Johanna Lindsey. Melissa and Lincoln meet and it's practically love at first sight. Throughout the course fo the story they don't spend much time together. The focus of the story seems to be Melissa's 16 uncles. I found it too many to keep track of (especially since many of them were named Ian) and I didn't even try. Their objection to Lincoln's pursuit of Melissa is a fight that occurred 19 years ago. This fight is brought up numerous times--enough times to bring new meaning to the phrase "making mountains out of molehills." What's more incredible is that Johanna Lindsey thought that she could base an entire novel around such a flimsy idea. My last objectioin was to Melissa's nickname--"Meli." What was that about? "Mel" maybe, but "Meli"?

Summary: Will the real Johanna Lindsey please stand up?
Review: For the last several years I have been very disappointed with Johanna Lindsay. For starters it feels like several years until her next book comes out. After reading the last several I think I can see why. SHE'S LOST HER TOUCH! She should have just thrown the stories out rather than getting them published. It doesn't even read like a Johanna Lindsay book. Where is she? How can she let someone write this junk using her name? In the Pursuit...I don't even know where to start. The plot was horrible. Lincoln (bad name) was the worst hero I've ever read in a book. Also the language of the book--she didn't even try to make it fit into the century they were in. I hated the uncles-they were just filler for an extremely sorry plot. If I had read this book under another auther I would remember in the future to never read their books again. I could barely get from sentence to sentence without yawning let alone chapter to chapter. There was no fire between the characters. As soon as they met they knew they were for each other. Most of the Lindsey books I've loved the two main characters fought all the time but at least with those there was fire and passion. Thank God I got this book from the library; which is where I'll be getting all future Lindsey books in the future. I'll save my money for Nora Roberts or Sandra Brown or someone else equally deserving of my time and money.

Summary: the pursuit
Review: I have never written a review before but I am so disappointed in this book that I feel compelled to warn Lindsey fans that they should not waste their time by reading this one. I kept reading hoping it would get better but it never happened. Like a previous reviewer, I had a hard time even according this book 1 star.

Summary: WASTE OF TIME AND ... PAPER!
Review: This book is very disapointing. I only say that becouse all the rest of johanna lindsey books I'v ever read were terrific and had some kind of magic in them but this one did not. If you are terribly board then their is an exeption, you may read this book and not look like an idiot who cant find a good book. LOL! really dont read this book it it a wast of time.

Summary: Didn't work for me
Review: I am sorry to say that I am right in there with everyone else. The story is lacking some chemistry, it's weak and frustrating. I actually skimmed through it to find out how Lincoln and Melissa got together. The story line is easy. Lincoln Burnett and Melissa MacGregor (the daughter of Lachlan and Kimber in "Love Me Forever") have eyes for each other but when Lincoln tries to pursue Melissa he is "encouraged" not to even think about it. Melissa is told the same due to family fueds. Melissa's 16 uncles that all have the same name (yes, that's confusing and frustrating) make a packet to keep them apart. But every time they come up with some tactic Lincoln and Melissa's love comes through. If you want to read it- get it from the library. I'm glad I did.

Summary: Terribly Dissappointing
Review: I have read every one of Johanna Lindsey's books and I am usually stunned at the amazing stories this woman can think up. All I can say is that I think she's fresh out of ideas on this one. Seriously.... don't bother.

Summary: Where's the magic
Review: I've had to give a one star rating, but really it didn't deserve any - it was dire. I find it hard to believe that this book was written by the same author as the Mallory series, Once a Princess, a Priates Love, Fires of Winter ... etc. The Heir was the start of the rot, but this has taken it to the pits. Can I wait to borrow from the library in future? I have all her other published books as I have a psssion for owning and rereading them not to mention getting them to read as soon as they're published, but in future I'll seriously consider value for money.

Summary: Most boring
Review: Unbelieveably boring, I kept waiting for this book to pick-up but it did not, which left me very disappointed. I still don't believe Ms. Lindsey wrote this.

Summary: The Worst Lindsey I've Read
Review: I normally enjoy any book written by Johanna Lindsey, but this one was extremely disappointing. Lousy plot and a very slow and boring read. If you are normally a Lindsey fan I think this book will disappoint you.
