Hot Pursuit

It is appropriate that I got to read the latest Jupiter Point novel, Hot Pursuit, by Jennifer Bernard this week. While everyone was gazing towards the sky for the eclipse, I was visiting my favorite stargazing destination. Deputy Will Knight and reporter Merry Warren have been sparing since the start of the series. Though their jobs made them logical adversaries, in reality they were trying to hide their attraction to each other. A case of mistaken identity and anonymous flirting allows them to see each other’s hidden depths, which changes their relationship for the better. We also get to learn much more about Will’s family as his brothers come home to reopen the old airstrip. I always love it best when the characters have to work together to solve a problem. This book has that in spades. Will and Merry make a good team in all aspects of their lives. There are also new questions that I hope will be answered as the next books move forward. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this novel.

Will & Merry are so much fun to read! They have sparks gallory and dont want to admit they are attracted to each other , till they find out that the person they where talking to on a sight called Flirt is each other! They can't believe they didn't put the pieces together since Will is a Deputy and Merry is a journaliest and it goes with both their lines of work .Come along as they work throught the rocky road to their HEA . I love how the toher couple ( from the other books ) pop up here and there I truly enjoy seeing whats going on with everyone even if its just a bit here and there. CAN NOT wait to read what comes next !

I loved Hot Sparks by Jennifer Bernard, the fifth book in her Jupiter Point series. Finally, we get Will Knight and Merry Warren’s story. These two have driven each other, and us, the reader, crazy with their antics and sarcastic comments to one another. Having the flirt anonymously through an app was genius. Having love sneak up on these two was also amazing, especially in the manner Ms. Bernard handled it. I really loved reading this book and had trouble putting this book down. Ms. Bernard wove a wonderful story, drawing me in and not letting go until I turned the last page. I highly recommend this book to other readers and can’t wait to read her next book. This is not only the fifth book in the Jupiter Point series but also the start of her Knight Brothers series. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Will Knight, aka Deputy Slo-Mo, is the oldest of the four Knight brothers. Having to drop out of law school, Will comes home to raise his younger brother when their father was murdered. Their mother can't handle the stress of the murder, so she takes their sister and leaves the boys alone to fend for themselves. Will encouraged his brothers to pursue their dreams while he stayed home with Aiden. Fast forward several years, Aiden now attends college and the other Knight brothers have joined forces to start a site seeing, flight service. Since Will is the Deputy Sheriff of Jupiter Point, he is mostly a silent partner in the business. Merry Warren was always encouraged to be a strong, independent, and hard working woman. Merry is a sassy reporter who seems to get herself into trouble while investigating stories for the newspaper. She also butts heads with Will, crawling under his skin. But irritation soon turns into attraction. Under pressure from her new boss to print "big" stories, Merry is taken off her current story to write an article on the only cold case in Jupiter Point's history--the Knight murder. Merry is torn as she wants to keep her job and make her boss happy, but she doesn't want to hurt Will. I loved this novel!!! The real life issues of interracial romance, online dating, drugs, murder, half-siblings, etc were very relatable. I enjoyed the witty banter between Will and Merry, while tearing up over the Knight brother's loss. A truly enjoyable story. I can't wait to read about the other Knight brothers. I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

I have been eagerly anticipating Will and Merry's story since the beginning of this series. The two had such explosive chemistry, it was hard to not want to see them get together. I loved this couple, probably more than any other in this series. I highly recommend this book, and can't wait for more in this series.

I have very mixed feelings about this book that have left me really puzzled and confused. It is certainly entertaining and I liked the inclusion of previous characters from other books and the introduction of the family members of Jupiter Point deputy Will Knight. I loved the first four books in the series because they were dramatic stories featuring hot shot firefighters who risked injury and/or death every time they were required to battle a wildfire that burned out of control. Of course there were lighthearted and comical moments too but they enhanced the story without detracting from the seriousness of the subject matter. This book has a very dramatic storyline as well but the ridiculously juvenile conversations between Merry and Will really turned me off. In past books both characters were highly successful and very well spoken but in this book I thought they were really annoying. I found myself rolling my eyes a lot and that really ruined the story for me. I'm sure this is a matter of personal taste because I really enjoy this author's writing but for me the way these characters were portrayed was a real disappointment. I read a complimentary copy of this book and all opinions expressed in my voluntary review are completely my own.

Loved this book!! I was so excited to have Will and Merry's story. Will Knight is the town deputy of Jupiter Point and Merry is a reporter of the local newspaper. They are pure opposites, but they can't deny the chemistry between them. It took three years to finally respond to their chemistry but it was well worth the wait. Will has been busy raising his younger brothers after his father was murdered and his om left town and has only had casual relationships. Merry is always the inquisitive type, always asking questions. With the romance, suspense of drug trafficking and the mystery of Will's dad's death makes for the perfect read. It was great to see previous characters of Jupiter Point. I can't wait to read more of the Knight brothers!! So now I have book hangover, could not put it down. This is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone.

I loved this book so much I literally couldn't put it down! I always enjoy the actual story within the romance in Jennifer Bernard's books, but something about this one really drew me in and kept me glued to my Kindle until the end. Both of the main characters are so relatable and likable which makes the story that much better. The secondary characters are also all like that which is so great. First of all our hero, Will Knight aka Deputy Slo-Mo, is a gorgeous, alpha, protective Deputy Sheriff. What many people don't know is that he has a very sweet and gentle side underneath his gruff often stoic exterior. Everything he has been through in his life and the responsibility he had to take on makes him that much more likable, respectable and admirable. Merry Warren, our heroine, is a total, I-don't-need-a-man-and-can-take-care-of-myself-kind-of-girl. However underneath that tough shell is a sweet and vulnerable woman. She is just awesome. She is a reporter for the local paper and I just really like her. Both of them have some deep family issues that have shaped and continue to shape their behavior. I am happy we are resolution and healing from both within the time frame of this story. Because of their professional interactions, they have known each other and been giving each other a hard time for the last few years. It actually appears that it was maybe kind of foreplay for them. They find out in a very fun and unique way that they are actually very compatible and should give it a go. Sparks fly when they give into the chemistry they both feel and that leads to some sexy hot and steamy moments between them. They also make such a great team out of the bedroom which we see when they work together on an investigation. This whole series is so great and I highly recommend reading all of the books, but you don't have to in order to enjoy it this one! 5 Flirty Stars!!

Loved, loved, loved!! Will and Merry simply made me happy. They are fantastic characters and I loved seeing them together. He's the stoic and serious type which works well for his job as a deputy. She's inquisitive to the point of nosy which also works well for her job as a reporter. They shouldn't work together but they definitely do. Their story is fun, sexy, and just about perfect. I sure hope we get stories for the rest of the Knight brothers! Put this one on the must read list. I highly recommend it.
