The writing is juvenile at best, and right from the start off-putting. Absolutely impossible to get lost in this book, which kind of defeats the purpose of reading it. ( )

Eva is a fierce adversary when pushed too far. Clive is a worthy opponent. When your heart is forced into battle with your head, what do you do? Chasing Eva is a smartly crafted war between mind and heart, body and soul, attraction and loathing. Camellia Hart makes it hard to choose between two overpowering forces. When falling in love, there's always a catch and the heart wants what it wants. ( )

Chasing Eva by Camellia Hart
Series: In Light of Shadows book 1

4 Stars - This book started off great, couldn't put it down. Loved how Clive pursued and longed for Eva. He was very honest and upfront with his feelings. I also loved that he liked her when they first met (one of my favourite extras in a story). They Had great chemistry together.
I think Eva has a ways to come with her issues with being able to trust in a relationship, and hopefully that doesn't push Clive away for good. The secondary characters are fun and engaging as well.
This story also has a bit of a mystery as to who is sabotaging Eva's company. Sadly we don't find out in this book who that is or if Clive and Eva’s love will stand the test of time. We are just left with a happy for now type ending.

Overall I enjoyed the author's writing (minus the one sentence and had me stuck for a second... or five… “it's a circular shaped room… and yet there was a chair in one corner…”??) but hey I am pretty forgiving when the rest of the story is good!

~Paragraphs and Petticoats~ ( )

Sizzle, sizzle, burn, burn. There was intensity. Clive and Eva had some suspenseful and suspense filled moments both in and out of the bedroom/boardroom. Life runs its owe course and draws in those at will Eva falls victim to life and that which was planned by a parent.

Life takes on turns and up heaves for the young Eva. She leaves her life to live the one that her father left her. This all thrust her back into the life of Clive. Will he help her or hurt her? Things were just a big roller coaster ride from here to there.

I enjoyed Camellia Hart's first offering. I would most certainly like more of Eva and Clive. I found this to be a fun, sexy, yet touches of suspense and intrigue floating. There was enough there to keep me turning pages and moving forward. I want more of several of the secondary characters. They kept things moving along. ( )
