In Pursuit of Happiness

About the book...
'A lovely escape that leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy inside. Just what’s needed at the moment' No1 bestselling author Jane Fallon
The world is waiting...but just outside of your comfort zone.
Jo Campbell is perfectly content in a perfectly structured life.
Nothing ever changes in Jo’s life, and she likes it that way.
Or at least, she tells herself she does.
Most of the time, she manages to push down the tiny voice that tells her to chase her dream and maybe, just maybe, open her battered and bruised heart up to love.
But to chase her dreams she needs to take chances that are way out of her comfort zone and learn to not put other people’s happiness above her own.
Most of all she has to learn to trust her heart, which may just be the biggest challenge of all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I quite honestly finished this over two days of reading...and I could have finished it in one!
It's a simple statement of fact. I simply couldn't wait to finish this one and it wasn't because it was dragging on or anything, but rather I was enjoying it so much! So, yes, there was reading into the wee hours...and I regret nothing! Story wise, it took one turn I guessed, a few others I didn't, avoided several I had my fingers crossed it wasn't pursuing, and in the end, we have a pairing that was surprisingly meant to be! I loved visiting Ivy Lane again. Meeting up with the gang I was introduced to in The Hopes and Dreams of Libby Quinn was absolutely a welcome gift. Taking walks with Paddy, checking out Libby's bookshop, visiting the Beer Garden...and getting to know Jo a little better! She may come off as a little tough, straight forward, and no nonsense, but there is a heart of gold that beats within. The love she has and shows for family and friends is breathtaking. The self doubt she experiences in sharing her hidden talent was heartache inducing, but so SO real. The tangles she gets into were shout worthy (for SEVERAL reasons), but the ending was worth every step of the journey.
A high recommendation for Contemporary Romance fans, as well as those of Women's Fiction. You won't be sorry if you pick this one up...in fact, you'll end up feeling, by book's end, a part of the family.
