Summary: Loved it! Much wit and humor.
Review: I have read nearly all of Lindsey's books and this one was a delight. She handles the dialogue among many characters so well -- I was laughing out loud.The story was fun and refreshing -- and sensual. I can't believe anyone gave this less than 5 stars. It was a joy to see Kimberly and Lachlan back -- with a grown up child and all those brothers!

Summary: I agree, does not deserve even one star!...
Review: I usually do not write reviews, but this book I have to say was a real disappointment. As mentioned in the other reviews the whole "problem" of the story was that a 10 year old boy went sort of crazy after the death of his father and tried his hand at beating up 16 brothers that lived nearby. Nineteen years later he sets his mind to marry the niece of those 16 brothers and they will not allow the marriage due to what happened all of those years ago. She also needs to do research before she writes on a medical problem for that time period as shown in the final chapters of the book, it just was not conceivable! This definately was not Johanna Lindsey at her best!...

Summary: humorous historical romance
Review: In Scotland, sixteen interfering, muscular and fearsome MacFearson uncles insure that none of her suitors meets the different criteria set by each one of Melissa MacGregor's caring relatives. To help Melissa, find a spouse, her parents (stars of LOVE ME FOREVER) pry her away from the well meaning crowd and plan to send her to London.
Before leaving her family on her adventure, Melissa spends time with her younger cousins at a pond. Not long afterward, Viscount Lincoln Barnett, just home from two decades of family enforced exile, rides by the pond. Lincoln and Melissa react positively towards one another. However, in a bloodthirsty feeding frenzy, her uncles go bongos when they learn that Lincoln is Melissa's choice. They remember an incident two decades ago when he behaved like a berserker so now they plan to keep this lunatic away from their beloved niece. They might contain Lincoln, but when it comes to love Melissa is fiercer than any other MacFearson.
THE PURSUIT is a humorous historical romance that contains a fast-paced story line. Though quite amusing, the tale also comprises a deep dysfunctional yet poignant relationship between Lincoln and his mother. Fans will have to get over the fact that the doting uncles truly hold an incident that they helped cause when Lincoln was ten against him as anecdotal evidence that the lead protagonist is dangerous. Though the tension is between the couple and her uncle (as opposed to that of the lead protagonists), the tale remains a fine sequel to Johanna Lindsey's LOVE ME FOREVER. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Very disappointing!!
Review: The story of Lincoln and Melissa in The Pursuit could have been served more properly in a novella. After all, they meet and fall in love within the first 60 pages of the book. Most of this asinine (pardon my use of the word) book is dedicated to the idiotic antics of Melissa's uncles keeping her away from the "crazy" boy they haven't seen since he was 10!!! Who in the world could believe this plot? I was very disappointed. I was hoping for more more romantic tension between the characters and less slapstick from the MacFearsons. I am a huge fan of Ms. Lindsey, and I know that she can write romance that sizzles. This doesn't even fizz. I was glad to visit characters from her former stories, but otherwise I don't think she did any justice to Lincoln and Melissa. Please, Ms. Lindsey, give your fans more of what they like from you. I so much miss the chemistry and passion that you have written with your other characters.

Summary: Do I even have to give this book 1 star???
Review: I have read every Johanna Lindsey book except for the fantasy ones. I loved the book that had Devlin and Megan St. James as the main characters. The hero in this book is beyond wimpy. I don't know about anyone else but I would assume a 29 year old 'man about town' would not blush when his aunt mentions a girl he likes or that he should get married. What happened to a 'hero' who knows what he wants and goes after it. Lincoln acted like someone's little brother who had yet to be taught the ways of the world. I just did not like Lincoln's weak personality.
The thought that all of the conflict in this book was because of a fight that happened between two 10 year old boys 19 years ago was frankly pathetic. I kept waiting for there to be more to the story than that, but there never was.
I will buy Ms. Lindsey again but certainly not in hardcover!

Summary: The Pursuit of disappointment.
Review: Johanna Lindsey has always been a favorite author of mine, so I was very disappointed when her latest novel just didn't measure up. The whole story line was rather weak and so were the main characters. I really had to force myself to finish it, and that is not typical of a Lindsey novel. My recommendation is:
Don't waste your money on this one, and hope for better novels from Mrs. Lindsey in the future.

Summary: by all means...
Review: i have read alot of Johanna Lindsey's work. it was worth buying and reading more than once. but its not a book that you had to put thought into the story line. it was straight forward.
what took me a while was figuring out that the main character Melissa is the daughter of the characters of "Love Me Forever" and the goddaughter of the characters in "Man Of My Dreams". once I figured that out i figured out the agression between the families, which in my eyes could lead into a few more books, i understood the basic context of the story line.
" The Pursuit " would have been an easy enough book to read even if I had not read the other two before hand. the book explains itself. all in all...story line, character, plot and language made it a good read for the Johanna Lindsey lover and collector or someone who is just starting out within her collection.
Rating:
Summary: Not one her best
Review: I actually went out and bought this book because it was her......the charachters lacked depth and some incidents in the book were too unrealistic (like putting the hero on a boat to China without thinking about the consequences).But then i'm still a fan hope she'll do better by us next time!!!

Summary: Should have been a short story
Review: I suppose this book satisfied my need for a Lindsay fix, but I won't be re-reading it anytime soon. It's a short book to begin with, but seems to have been stretched out to fill a ...price tag. This book could have been good with a secondary story line involving either the heroine's friend or cousin (or both together). Definitely don't pay full price for this one. Try the library...I guess any Lindsay is better than none, but this one isn't much better.

Summary: Definitely not her best
Review: I would highly recommend that anyone who wants to read this book, wait for the paperback! The Pursuit doesn't even come close to Johanna Lindsey's other stories. The characters immediately like each other and want to marry - boring. On top of that, the focus of the book is the feud between the uncles and Lincoln. Unfortunately, the basis for the feud is lame as well. Melissa MacGregor's character seems under-developed throughout the book. She almost seems to be a minor character next to the uncles. There isn't a real pursuit in the book - just a few obstacles (uncles) along a relatively smooth path. This really was a hard rating - I own all of her books and have never rated any of them below a three - I rated this one a one. Johanna - If you need to write a story about previous characters, please return to the Mallory's.
