Questions for Discussion

Lexi and her best friend Amanda come from different worlds although they move in similar social and professional circles. What brought such different women together in their boarding school days? Do you have friendships with people from varied backgrounds? What makes this kind of friendship both rewarding and challenging?
Clothes play an important role in Lexi's world. What do her clothes say about her? How would you compare her wardrobe choices to Amanda's or Simone's?
How would this romance have differed if it had a small town or Midwest setting? Would it have changed at all in another big city like Atlanta or LA?
Lexi and Josh aren't a traditionally "beautiful" couple (e.g.- Lexi's Romanesque nose and Josh's rough around the edges looks). Do you prefer couples with physical imperfections or more idealistic looks? Do you prefer more realism or fantasy in your characters?
What makes Lexi a uniquely "Blaze" heroine? How does she differ from other Blaze heroines you've read?
Josh is not world's most communicative male. And he sure growls a lot. What attracted Lexi to him anyway? What qualities in Josh attracted you as a reader?
Discuss Josh's relationships with Lexi's dogs. Did you see personalities for Harry and Snowball?
Discuss Lexi's commitment to good deeds. Did this trait surprise you in a character who had made a name for herself in a world of fashion and artifice?
In Hot Pursuit doesn't include an epilogue. How would you envision Josh and Lexi spending a typical day in their happily-ever-after?
