Thank You to the author for this free ARC book in exchange for my honest review of Fearless Pursuit.
This is the sixth book in the A West Coast Crime Story series and I can't wait to read more books from this series. What happens when two rivals end up uniting because of a killer? Will they be able to capture the dangerous criminal? Make sure to read this page turning book to find out. The author wrote this well and every character in this one I loved. This one kept me guessing until the very end. I loved how it was a fast paced read with suspense throughtout. I'm looking forward to reading more books from this author. I loved this book a lot and would recommend it to any reader, especially to those who love suspense.

As with the previous book in the series, the mystery wasn’t obvious and was the main reason I kept reading. (It’s a hard sell to believe who the murderer is.) I didn’t like the main female character and her abrupt emotional swings. But to be fair, I didn’t like her character in the previous book. For someone who is the police chief she made several accusations with no supporting evidence. I actually felt sorry for Von that he was in love with her. If you have a Harlequin subscription, the books are mailed out early which is how I already have the book.
