Product Description

Product Description

Love is sudden, fierce, and full of choices ...

When college-bound Eliza falls into a cruise-ship pool, she doesn't expect to fall in love. And when navy recruit David pulls her from the water, he finds her surprisingly hard to resist. But a whirlwind of rescues, candlelit nights, and beachside misunderstandings pulls them into a four-day love affair that threatens to break their hearts before their love has a chance to start.

When David leaves for endless drills and physical training in boot camp, and Eliza returns to Albuquerque to prepare for Princeton in the fall, they dare to keep loving each other and struggle to imagine a future when they can be together. But when miles and mistrust pull them apart, they are forced to choose between keeping true to their dreams and having the courage to love.
            

Life, Liberty, and Pursuit is about making choices in life and love, a sweet, clean romance for girls or women of any age who enjoy a sweeping love story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Instant Favorite 25 Jun 2010
By BKaczmarek - Published on Amazon.com
As a writer, I have to be discerning about the books I spend time reading. I love to get comfy with a good book as much as the next person, but I simply don't have the time to devote to the mediocre. Life, Liberty and Pursuit, though, was most definitely not a waste of time. The unlikely shipboard romance of David and Eliza kept me guessing, empathizing, and cheering, while the vivid descriptions made me feel like I was traveling alongside the two of them. I enjoyed the life-like dialogue and the pace of the story, even as fate forced their paths to diverge.

The writing and the characters weren't the only things that won me over. As a former English teacher, I'm always on the lookout for books with a compelling story without vulgarity and promiscuity around every corner. David and Eliza carefully and realistically navigate the waters of temptation, making difficult and heartrending choices, because they're grounded and intelligent young people. I can wholeheartedly recommend this debut novel to anyone who wants to cozy up and enjoy a great love story. It will make you smile again and again.

2.0 out of 5 stars Life, Liberty, and Pursuit reviewed by The Book Vixen 13 July 2011
By The Book Vixen - Published on Amazon.com
It was a cute YA romance but I wasn't feeling the love at first sight relationship between David and Eliza. It was cute how they met (he rescues her) but to fall in love in 4 days? Then they have the challenge of having a long distance relationship.

The ending felt inconclusive. This is the kind of book where I expect there to be an epilogue but there wasn't. I was actually expecting there to be one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet story, nice quick summer read 17 July 2010
By Anne in Virginia - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
It's a sweet story. It's tough to tell whether it will be an ending a la Nicholas Sparks or Nora Roberts. I expected a little more suspense, but it's sweet stroll down first love memory lane.
