Summary: A Disappointing Read
Comment: I am a huge Johanna Lindsey fan,having read every book she's ever written and re-read most of them countless times. I loved Lachlan and Kimberly's story, "Love Me Forever", and was eagerly awaiting reading about their daughter Melissa.
I was disappointed, as "The Pursuit" lacks the chemistry and passion that were once so common in Ms. Lindsey's writing. As with her last few novels, the plot line is weak and the characters don't seem to fully develop.
Melissa and Lincoln meet early in the book, and manage to fall in love in one short conversation. The fued that exists between Lincoln and Melissa's uncles, the MacPhersons, is childish to say the least and very much unbelievable. While the antics of the MacPherson uncles are somewhat amusing, there is more interaction between the uncles and Lincoln and the uncles and Melissa than there is between Lincoln and Melissa.
Writing a novel with unforgetable characters in not the easiest task, yet so many of Ms. Lindsey's previous novels do just that. I felt that "The Pursuit" just didn't have that Lindsey 'magic' that so many of her fans have come to enjoy most about her books.

Summary: The Pursuit
Comment: 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?
Comment: 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.
