I liked this.

I didn't enjoy it as much as [b:Love to Hate You|38089447|Love to Hate You|Jo Watson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1524974137s/38089447.jpg|59758616] but it was still a pretty cute romantic comedy. I loved how the chemistry between the two very different characters made them determined to overcome those difference and how they're feelings developed.

I also loved the journey through rural Africa and back into urban cities.

I'm looking forward to reading some more books by the author.

I loved The Flatshare. It's a perfect light, romantic, beach-read type of novel. I hadn't read a full-length novel in awhile, so I wanted something fun and generally easy to get into. The Flatshare was a great pick. It is a romance, but not an overly sweetsy, ridiculous one. I didn't get any cavities from it. Lol The way it was written made the story flow smoothly and quickly, but it still seemed like I was reading something that had some substance. I enjoyed it!

Early 90s Daniel-Day Lewis starring Romantic Drama, set during the French and Indian War of 1754-'63, with Day Lewis as the adopted son of a dying native American tribe - the Mohicans of the title.

Lots of weeping panoramic shots throughout, with a rousing (and now - over three decades later - quite famous) musical score, but the film does seem to jump around quite a bit, with little really in the way of character development and, well, things just seemingly happening for no discernible reason at all!

Eva and Clive met long ago at one of the parties their fathers held around the holidays. Their fathers had been friends and business associates for quite some time and at one party Eva and Clive had their first kiss. Fast-forward many years later to a chance meeting in the elevator of their mutual building. Now thrown together as someone is trying to manipulate her company, she relies on Clive to help her navigate this new normal.

Chasing Eva is a romantic suspense read continuing in the next 2 books in the series Loving Eva and Killing Eva. This was a first read for this author and overall I enjoyed her writing style. I felt though a little confused as to how Eva didn’t remember kissing Clive (not the most common name) all those years ago. And if Clive knew so much about Eva through the years, didn’t know she was running her fathers company and just a few floors down from his office.

So that aside, this story was an interesting read for me. I haven’t been reading too much in the romantic suspense genre lately (though at one time it was a mainstay) and this one I would classify as more romantic than suspenseful. It gives a good baseline for where Clive and Eva have grown since that first kiss, and how they can come together now and try a relationship. Eva has some self-doubts after seeing some of the women Clive has dated, but in the end he shows her that he has eyes for only her.

This new to me author gets 4 stars for this introduction to her series. I am almost through with Loving Eva and then on to Killing Eva to see how this triology ends. All opinions expressed are my own, no review expectation was given.
