Incensed that she has been demoted from M.C. to jailer for the charity auction, Lexi Mansfield still maintains her indomitable style despite the whispers and rumors behind her back. One of New York's leading fashion reviewers and most popular magazine columnists, Lexi has been humiliated an extremely uncomplimentary letter to the editor. Then she jails a dangerous looking cop, blowing his cover and later allowing their "two night stand" to break all her rules. But Lexi is an all or nothing kind of girl, and cannot settle for a guy who offers to paint her poodle's nails in private but cannot appear at her side in public.

Josh Winger attends the charity auction for work, not pleasure. For two months he and his partner have tracked drug smuggling activity in the Garment District without success. His bad boy looks, scars and diamond stud make him look more like the criminal element than the establishment. But when a "kinky dominatrix with killer cleavage and a lethal attitude" blows his cover, Josh finds the promise of handcuffs and anonymous sex in the dark wildly erotic. When morning comes, he also finds that a single night of hot pursuit is not enough to satisfy the delicious hunger Lexi inspires. Then they realize that that their best friends are getting married, and neither can simply walk away from their wild night.

Once again author Joanna Rock demonstrates her sophisticated flair for presenting the unusual and the decadent in her newest release, IN HOT PURSUIT. A remarkably fun plot matches her flair for erotic characterizations with subtle depth. Lexi and Josh are not insecure characters waiting to be "fixed" or "saved". These are intelligent, independent people who suddenly realize their lives lack that special spark the other possesses, even as their careers and goals take them separate directions. Like so many modern couples, only compromise and open communication will salvage a relationship thus far built on the fire of passion. Very highly recommended.

IN HOT PURSUIT captured my attention from the get-go with its sparkling writing and standout characters. Josh and Lexi positively pop right off the pages with their snappy dialogue and sizzling chemistry. Then there's a cool mystery woven in as well ... wow! Steam, suspense and fabulous characters - IN HOT PURSUIT has it all! I'm already counting the days until Joanne Rock's next release!
