Perfect Pursuit: A small town, age-gap, friends to love… (2024)

Perfect Pursuit: A small-town, age-gap, friends-to-lovers, secret relationship romance (Midas Series Book 7) by Tracey Jerald is a billionaire series between computer businessman Ethan Kinsington and his niece’s best friend and next-door neighbor Fallon Brooks. Ethan’s unrequited love or lust and Fallon’s crush on an older man come together when Ethan first rescues Fallon and Austyn in college after a spiked punch turns out to be drugged at a campus party, leading to a lifelong friendship. Ethan’s computer work is shrouded in mystery as he works for an unknown government agency that operates behind the scenes to keep America safe with its covert missions. Fallon is a college student of a single mom who lives and works at a bar in the small university town, Seven Virtues, near the famous Biltmore Estate in North Carolina. An after-college graduation encounter changes their text and phone calls to long-distance friendships, turning them into “more “as they cross every line in a secret relationship. Differing opinions between Fallon, who doesn’t want to be a dirty little secret, and Ethan, who is so into his head over the past he may destroy his future. Family heartache and drama for Fallon as she experiences life’s pain and her willingness to do anything (and it’s legal) to help her mom, who becomes sick. Ethan becomes roped into another assignment to help close friends stay safe when he discovers a secret about Fallon’s part-time job that makes him jealous. The third scene break up was so damaging and unpredictable that it almost seemed impossible for a HEA ever to happen. Never fear; Tracey Jerald can bring beauty and happiness out of the ashes of defeat and devastation for the book Perfect Pursuit. Tracey Jerald writes romances in which one falls in love with the main characters whose hearts are shredded, only to be put back together piece by piece, with the story lingering long after one closes the book.

The Witch and her Hot Hacker ……

“When we first met, I never meant to pursue Ethan Kensington. I’m just grateful, in the end, we each followed our own path and still managed to be right here….. With each other.”
————
These words beautifully encapsulate this wonderful story, told by the amazing Tracey Jerald. The tale is told in an odd manner, with many short chapters - till you realise that you are being taken on the journey to experience the 5 years of the leading characters lives, played out in a flowing manner with poignant clarity.
Fallon has known what she wants and how to achieve it - being sadly dragged along through Ethan’s hands-off approach. After much heartache and strength of mind, she finally earned her happiness.
Ethan’s thoughts of their age gap and family concerns caused him to betray their trust and love. His acceptance of Fallon’s strength to do anything for love, finally saw him open up his heart to forgive his father and himself and to earn the rightful place in his Witch’s future.
Every story in the Midas Touch series is an evolved and breathtaking journey and this tale continues that trait. I am blessed and so pleased to have read them all.
Thank you to the author for giving me the opportunity to enjoy the arc and provide my voluntary review.

I don't think I will ever not LOVE and devour every book of Tracey's that I read. she has a way of completely sucking you in and loving all her characters. From their passion, integrity, fight and down to their devastating imperfections, she delivers them a story with such finesse and amazing writing. Fallon and Ethan are no exception. the depth of their emotions, trauma, love, and heartbreak is incredible. I lost myself in this beautiful, sad, loving story of two people overcoming such heartbreaking sadness, lies and deceit to come out the other side scarred but healed through wonderful story telling. This whole series has been a rollercoaster of emotion that I will gladly ride over and over. Amazing story! And loving how all her worlds collide!

I have wanted an E and Fallon story since they appeared in Kensington's story. Author Tracey Jerald aced this assignment!
Fallon- she's the girl you want to be besties with! She's loyal, fun, flirty and has a need for an older man.
E- swoon! Gosh-E is mysterious, dependable, did I say swoon?, E is everything a girl like Fallon needs!
These two.... Getting past their age difference (come on already E), and getting their timing right makes for a great book! And then there's Kensington- a key person in whether these two will finally cross the line and if doing so will jeopardize their relationships with Kensington...
Have fun with this one y'all!!

The book is a bit of a slow burn at first as it sets the scene for the here and now and you need the back story to understand the connection between Fallon and Ethan.
Love makes you do crazy and at times things you wouldn't normally do and this is the case for both of them, however when you don't take time to ask anything it becomes harmful. Not going to lie there is a time of absolute devastation that occurs so you want your tissues at the ready, but you also get good times, laughter and love.

This book is outstanding, it had me spinning through emotions like I was on a spinning teacup ride .

Ethan & Fallon’s relationship is an uphill battle for them , but their love for each other isn’t , but it is complicated.

Lies , & mistrust from the past explodes into their relationship, & the damage it causes is deep .

What do you do when you’ve broken your soulmate ? You fight for forgiveness, you fight hard , & you never give up .

This story is pure perfection

4.5 stars

Perfect Pursuit (Midas #7) is a small town, age gap romance.

Ethan and Fallon’s story drew me in from the very first page. The chemistry between them was explosive and I loved how their connection grew throughout the book. Fallon’s feisty personality paired so well to Ethan’s protective/mysterious side. I liked getting glimpses of the other lovely couples and friend group. This author never fails to bring so much emotion, angst and tender moments with her characters.

Awesome read! Loved the backstory of this addictive age gap romance! You’ll get pulled into the story like I did and it just sucks u in!!!! 5 stars!
