Description
Spicy romantic suspense featuring a sexy rockstar, a suburban single mother, and a stalker who threatens to ruin everything.
When Sammy McCallum comes to the aid of her musical crush—megastar front man Gabe Walker—she never imagines he might rescue her back.
But as sparks fly and their professional interests converge, Gabe invites Sammy to visit his farm-to-table homestead in North Carolina. . . and the tantalizing offer couldn’t come at a better time. Because lately, Sammy’s been feeling stuck. Her teenage daughter is battling for freedom, her craft breweries are mysteriously bleeding cash, and she can’t step out of her comfort zone long enough to solve either problem. A trip to the Smoky Mountains with a gorgeous rockstar might be just the temptation she needs to expand her boundaries and reclaim her confidence.
Or the trip could turn into something else entirely. Because when Sammy breaks down the barriers of her safe and cozy life, she accidentally lets danger in. The bizarre pitfalls of a celebrity entanglement descend, threatening everyone she holds dear.
Sammy’s connection with Gabe is irresistible, but will pursuing this romance come at the most terrible price imaginable?
An alluring romantic mystery set against lush outdoor backdrops, Intoxicating Pursuit serves up page-turning sizzle with a pulse-tingling twist.

Missy Bloom has absolutely outdone herself with Intoxicating Pursuit. This book was everything I hoped it would be—and so much more. I dove in expecting a heartfelt romance with a splash of suspense, but what I got was an emotionally rich, slow-burning thrill ride that had me hooked from page one.
Sammy McCallum is a refreshingly real protagonist—flawed, funny, and fiercely protective of her daughter and her dreams. Watching her cross paths with her longtime musical crush, Gabe Walker, was pure joy. Their chemistry sizzles, but it’s the deeper connection they forge that makes this story so compelling. Gabe is more than just a rockstar heartthrob; he's grounded, generous, and full of surprises.
The North Carolina setting was vivid and cozy at first glance, yet Missy Bloom laced it with just enough mystery to keep me on edge. I 1000% thought I had the mystery figured out... and then BAM! That twist hit me like a freight train. I genuinely didn’t see it coming—and I love when a book pulls the rug out from under me like that.
Between Sammy’s personal struggles—balancing motherhood, running her business, and learning to put herself first—and the growing danger lurking in the background, the tension builds masterfully. By the time everything unraveled, I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.
If you’re looking for a romantic suspense novel with a heart, a twist you won’t see coming, and characters you’ll want to root for long after the last page, Intoxicating Pursuit is an absolute must-read.
