Kathy Strobos – Partner Pursuit

A funny,sweet romance that also gives us an insight upon the whole life/work and even love balance. I haven’t read anything from Kathy Strobos before so had no expectations as I settled down with Partner Pursuit.

When a workaholic lawyer meets a fun-loving music marketing executive for opposites attract, friends-to-lovers adventures, which partnership will she choose?

Workaholic lawyer Audrey Willems is not going to take any chances with her bid to become a partner at her New York law firm—especially with only six months until the decision. 

Until she bumps into Jake—her new neighbor. Jake is a fun-loving music marketing executive who might just be The One.

He’s funny, caring, supportive—and able to kill water bugs in the bathroom.

But Jake will never date a woman married to her job. His father was a workaholic lawyer who never had time for family. 

And she’s just got the case of a lifetime—the one she needs to win to make partner.  Working 24/7 at the office may not even be enough hours to pull off a victory.

If only she had not met him now.

Audrey is determined to prove that she can juggle work and romance—even if managing court cases, candlelit dinners, and bike rides around Manhattan is a lot harder than it looks.  She keeps canceling dates for yet another case crisis.

But when making partner is like a game of musical chairs and the last seat is a business-class alone, which partnership will she choose?

We meet Audrey, who is pursuing two very different things in life. The first is becoming a Partner in a large New York Law firm and the second a relationship with Jake, next door. The biggest problem is Jake doesn’t want a date who is chained to their job. We see Audrey being given more work to do as the wait for which of the four candidates in for Partner begins to loom. At the same time as Jake is organising a romantic getaway for them.

A well-written story with vivid, strong characters. The inclusion of the real-life issues a lot of women come across when they are driven for a career and they want a relationship too makes this a read not to miss. Kathy Strobos’s passion about this shines through the storyline.

The authors knowledge of being a lawyer in New York City brings a reality to the book and it really does make me feel like I am happy not to be a lawyer there!

I enjoyed this book and I was through it so quickly I didn’t want to leave Audrey as soon as I did. I will definitely be looking for more of Kathy Strobos books from now on.

Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources and Kathy Strobos for a copy of this funny, feel-good romance.
