A Daring Pursuit by Kate Bateman @katebateman @SMPRomance

The Davies and Montgomery families have been locked in an ancient feud. But it’s a thin line between love and hate in Kate Bateman's A Daring Pursuit.


TWO ENEMIES
Carys Davies is doing everything in her power to avoid marriage. Staying single is the only way to hide the secret that could ruin her—and her family—if it was revealed. For the past two seasons, she’s scandalized the ton with her outrageous outfits and brazen ways in a futile bid to deter potential suitors. Outwardly confident and carefree, inside she’s disillusioned with both men and love. There’s only one person who’s never bought her act—the only man who makes her heart race: Tristan Montgomery, one of her family’s greatest rivals.

ONE SCANDALOUS BARGAIN
Wickedly proper architect Tristan needs a respectable woman to wed, but he’s never stopped wanting bold, red-headed Carys. When she mockingly challenges him to show her what she’s missing by not getting married, Tristan shocks them both by accepting her indecent proposal: one week of clandestine meetings, after which they’ll go their separate ways. But kissing each other is almost as much fun as arguing, and their affair burns hotter than either of them expects. When they find themselves embroiled in a treasonous plot, can they trust each other with their hearts, their secrets…and their lives?



My Review

A Daring Pursuit by Kate Bateman

My rating: 5 of 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I truly enjoyed the relationship between Carys and Tristan. I found myself laughing out loud at times. Snickering at other parts. And had my breath taken away at others.

Carys Davies has done her best to avoid marriage. Especially when she has a secret that could ruin her if it is ever revealed. She's used outrageous outfits and carefree confidence to keep potential suitors away. The only man who's captured her attention is also one of her family's greatest rivals, Tristan Montgomery.

His goal is to marry a proper wife but that hasn't stopped him from wanting Carys. When he finally discovers her secret she challenges him to show her what she'd miss if she doesn't get married. Amazingly he agrees. One kiss and things will change between them. They enjoy sneaking off to share moments with one another until they find themselves in the middle of a treasonous plot.

Thank you so much to the author, the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC to review.
